O-Homer's Relationship With Her Father Matsumoto

AIDWYC lawyers James Lockyer and Joanne McLean realized what had happened to Anthony while they were reviewing another wrongful conviction case. James and Joanne discovered that Paul Bernardo had confessed to the crime for which Anthony pleaded guilty. The officers who followed up on Bernardo’s confession later wrote that “Paul Bernardo is the person responsible for committing this offence…. [He] provided accurate details of the offence, details that would only be known to the person responsible for committing [it].” (Pazzano, Toronto Sun) AIDWYC officially took Anthony’s case in early 2008.

Sappho’s poem, entitled Fragment 16, is of the lyrical style instead of the epic style we are used to in Homer’s Iliad. The lyrical style of poetry got its name because it was usually accompanied by a lyre while it was recited. It also was used to express more emotion rather than telling a story. This form of poetry seems to be more artistic rather than the story telling of epic poetry of the time. In this poem we are able to use the comparison of different imagery to understand a common theme within the poem itself. The reason for the interesting title of the poem is because most of Sappho’s poetry is now only found in fragmented forms. Most of Sappho’s writing is from 600 B.C.E.

1. How did the narrator react to the fact that he killed another human being? What evidence in the story leads you to this conclusion? The narrator was shocked and felt guilty.

The great soldier Odysseus has had many relationships in his journey, as the epic progresses we meet these characters. Odysseus’ wife Penelope, and their adolescent son Telemachus play extreme and important roles in the decisions Odysseus makes on what seems like an everlasting journey. Odysseus' interaction with his loyal wife Penelope gives Odysseus insight on how his absence truly affected his family, he's able to gain this perspective when he sees how distant Penelope is and how painful the reunion is for her.

The relationships between parents and their sons in the Iliad are not relationships we expect to see in today’s society. The Iliad portrays the relationships between fathers and sons as something more than just physical and emotional. It is based on pride and respect for one another. The expectations of their son are more so to pass on their fathers reputable name and to follow in their father’s footsteps of being noble warriors. These relationships are the driving forces in the Iliad, making each son in the Iliad identifiable first by their father’s name. An outcome of the father–son relationships is ancestral loyalty among the characters which play a prominent role in war. Therefore, not only does the Iliad share a major war story, but

“The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien and “My Son the Murderer” by Bernard Malamud revolves around the meaningless of the Vietnam war. In My Son the Murderer the author gives hints on how meaningless this war is and demonstrates how it rips apart a family while a draftee awaits his turn to be called to serve Uncle Sam, this is also what leads to character development due to how everything affects the family it showcases the care and love of a father or the hate and fear of a boy. Throughout the story Malamud puts you in the shoes of the character as he makes it very personal by using alternating first person narration and some third person. The story line is showing the way the family is falling apart at home and the effects the war has

Homer and Ovid are two of the oldest, most influential poets that have ever lived. Although they are both poets, they have several differences in their writings. Homer, a Greek poet, is most famous for his epic poems Iliad and Odyssey. Ovid, a Roman poet, is most famous for Metamorphoses a 15 book poem containing over 250 myths. To compare and contrast these two poets and their writing styles, I will use Achilles’ battle with Hector in Homer’s Iliad book 22 and compare it with Achilles’ battle with Cycnus in Ovid’s Metamorphoses book 12. The comparison of these battles will give us a better understanding of these poets different views on the Trojan War.

The “Aphrodite of Cnidus” is a marble sculpture that stands 80 inches tall (6’6 feet) and resembles the goddess Aphrodite, which was created by Praxiteles. It is brightly white in many areas but after thousands of years of exposure to environmental elements some discolorations had appeared around the sculpture. The artist sculptured her putting her cloth away by placing them on a pitcher as she begins to bath. The nude description of the goddess had people all around wanting to see it. The 6 foot 6 statue was made in the late classical period around 350 B.C. – 340 B.C. Around this time was the end of the Peloponnesian War where the Athens fought against the Spartans, and the Spartans came victorious.

In this passage O’brien demonstrates his own character traits. As a writer, he has a strong ability to understand what others are feeling and sympathize. When he kills the young soldier, he creates a story around him, imaging the soldier as having similar struggles to his own. He deeply regrets the soldier's death because he feels that neither of them really wanted to be fighting in this war and relates his own life story to the fictional one he creates for the soldier.

There are many reasons to believe that O Brother, Where Art Thou is a movie based upon the events that took place during Homer’s The Odyssey. The Odyssey is a story about Odysseus and his adventure home after the Trojan War. O Brother, Where Art Thou was about the journey of Ulysses and his two partners escaping from prison. Both Odysseus and Ulysses were trying to reach home so they could see their families again. The blind man on the railroad tracks toward the beginning represented the blind prophet Teiresias. Both prophets give bad news. Odysseus is told it will take him many years to reach home. Ulysses is told he will not reach the treasure he seeks. The cousin that turned Ulysses and his two prison mates Delmar and Pete in for the reward represents the Circe turning

how much of a man he was. After he hit his father, he felt a sense of pride as if he won a prize of some sort. The act was more selfish than selfless being that he was not thanked for it. After the incident, he looks at his sisters for validation for his actions but he has never seen the difference between them or separate the roles of them from their mother. His misogynistic views are passed down from his father and this is due to his immaturity and lack of exposure to the independent world.

I’m as deluded as my father. And it’s true. Her beauty and remoteness and resolve are one” (McEwen 15). The fetus recognizes the place of his father, and puts his father down, as he praises his mother out of love (I know this sounds awk I’ll change). It is through this praise which ultimately shows the fetus’s desire for his mother, and Freud can be applied. Jones writes of Freud’s theory “Of the infantile jealousies the one with which we are here occupied is that experienced by a boy towards his father… The only point that at present concerns us is the resentment felt by a boy towards his father when the later disturbs his enjoyment of his mother’s affection” (Jones 95). Ultimately, the fetus’s longing for Trudy triggers the competition he feels toward Claude. From the beginning of the novel, though the fetus is aware of his father’s death, he seems to accept it willingly (cite). While planning the murder of his own father, the fetus condemns Claude of any implications he has on his mother; however, the fetus continually reassures himself of the love he feels toward Trudy. It is through Freud’s theory which reveals that the fetus’s anger is solely directed at Claude for killing his father, not Trudy. The theory of the Oedipal complex, in turn, emphasizes the importance of the fetus as being male, as it is the male he wants to fight, and his mother whom he wants to earn the affection of.
