Josh Ritter’s “Another New World” is a somber and haunting song, released in 2010 and under the genres of Alternative and Indie. Its purpose is to describe and entertain, much like a story.

Cube is a Sci-Fi contemporary horror, which depicts a world where a group of individuals who mysteriously awake in a complex cube. In order to escape this massive cube, characters must work together in order to successfully guide themselves through the death defying traps implemented in designated rooms. The characters in the film are decidedly postmodern in the sense that they have no recognizable history amongst each other. Yet, there are several elements of fear highlighted throughout the film, and is specifically noteworthy, because it is one of the few contemporary horror made directly in Canada to this day, and it allows audience to interpret the ending for themselves. Firstly Cube contrast fear through the “physical” aspects of the cube, this includes the cubes structural features, and the characters theories behind who behind it. Additionally on top of the outer findings of the cube, inside the characters struggle to discern the cubes purpose. This leads to an increasing amount of social conflicts, which over time slowly depletes the character's physical well being. Additionally, the level of paranoia bestilled in the characters suggest this notion of “Big Brother”; who may or not be watching them. Furthermore the film implements many thematic elements that lay

Cobi has created an overall central theme of injustice throughout the song-seeing injustice, the unease of acting against it, and finally doing something about it. The way Cobi has written the song puts great emphasis on how important it is to him. He wants listeners to take the matter of suicide seriously so he includes darker visions of people being hanged. Being a serious topic he avoids colloquialism and mainly uses metaphors to express the meaning. Witnessing how relevant injustice is, Cobi comments on how others react to it observing, “I’ve seen an ocean run away.” He notices how many people (ocean being a Synecdoche for people) have “run away” and do not help, which emphasizes the repeated lyric, “please help me chop this tree down,” indicating that the effort to help must be shared. Through this symbolism, Cobi is speaking to the listener and pleads for them to assist as well. This tree represents the injustice in the world that he wants to fight. By taking action against it, people can interpret the gravel being paved as a reference to a new beginning of hope. He uses mental images to reach people on a deeper level, which connects to people's imagination and inspires them.

This refers to Odysseus’ journey and the time he was tied to the post, his crew’s ears covered in glue, while sirens called out trying to convince them to listen. The song uses different figurative language to provide imagery. In lines one and two it says, “Its empty in the valley of your heart The sun, it rises slowly as you walk.” This is a simile and a metaphor as one line uses as and the other does not. It also says, in lines ten and eleven, “And I won’t let you choke on the noose around your neck.” This compares a noose to how the darkness they are fighting is holding them back and keeping them from living. It’s a metaphor. The song uses imagery when he says “So come out of your cave walking on your hands And see the world hanging upside down,” (lines 29-30) this gives you something to see and gives a better understanding of the meaning.

Certain things some people do can seem beyond human powers, even defying gravity. In “The Juggler,” the poet Richard Wilbur describes the awe and wonder felt by the speaker watching the juggler; the speaker is amazed by the gracefulness of the balls flying in the air and even portrays the juggler as reeling in heaven itself. Through the use of imagery portraying the juggler’s magical performance, specific structure and syntax of the poem, and diction that elicits the godly powers of the juggler, the speaker describes the juggler as a superhuman who defies gravity while expressing the speaker’s own inability to overcome the challenges in his daily life and thus his negative view of the world.

The gravity of the things I carry weighs more than I could ever fathom, but I’m not a victim. As years pass, and my back bruises with burden, my head will still remain high. My tall posture will never falter. With scratched knees, shaky hands, a bitten tongue, and tear stained cheeks I never stop moving forward. Some days I consider giving up, yet my pace never slows. I walk with a purpose that I have yet to discover. I’m a survivor who was born as a lion, I refuse to live as a

If I were to assign myself a mark, I would give myself a level 4. Firstly, our machine had more than four subsystems, which was more than what was required. In addition, many of our subsystems were not too simple, such as the pendulum and the catapult, which took several trials. In fact, it took us 37 tests to complete get the machine to do the task. However, we were determined and had the perseverance to finish this project. Furthermore, we put a lot of time and effort to make our Rube Goldberg work. We put extra work to our Rube Goldberg by testing and doing the project at school and at home. Moreover, we took the responsibility to get to talk to you about how well our project was and what modifications we can do to make the machine better.

This metaphor is influenced by Odysseus' good and bad times on the sea. There are many instances where Odysseus faces struggles on the ocean. Whether Odysseus has to fight a huge storm like the one that washes him up on Kalypso's island or he has to elude dangerous monsters such as Skylla and the whirlpool Kharybdis on the sea, the ocean can be a very dangerous place. Odysseus also encounters times where the sea is very forgiving to him. The storm that washes him up to the land of Phaecia, a fairy-tale fantasyland, results in a safe and smooth passage home along with numerous treasures. He later states, 'To work in the service of life and living, in search of the answers of questions unknown.'; Odysseus spends many years on the sea at many different lands working in the service of the gods in search of answers to the health of his family and the possibility of a homecoming. Odysseus' long travels make him believe he is indeed searching for the unknown. The gods throw him all across the globe, but he finds very few answers. Another interpreted allusion deals with experiencing and growing. Denver sings, 'To be part of the movement and part of the growing.'; The obvious character in the Odyssey that

In the song Achilles Last Stand, Robert Plant writes about many different aspects of Greek Mythology. He refers not only to the mythological warrior Achilles but he also describes the Atlas Mountains. But as he describes Atlas Mountain there is a double meaning behind his lyric “The mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the Earth.” While portraying the Atlas Mountains holding the sky up in a physical sense, Plant is also describing

Culture teaches that men must dispense of ridiculous emotions and remain firm, following expected duties. O’Brien develops this theme of the transition from youth to manhood in his short story, “The Things They Carried.” Through the protagonist Jimmy Cross, metaphors of weight, and futile ideas of freedom, O’Brien reveals how society expects young men in transition to adulthood to let go of impractical idealism and dwell instead on the cruel reality of the world.

I would get dizzy, have the hives and I wouldn't be able to catch my breath. Every Time I would have on of these symptoms my coach would make me get out of the pool and wait until I felt better. I didn't want to wait I wasn't getting better just by sitting there, so I eventually pushed myself through my condition. And I keep pushing today and now I pretty much last the full practice, my coach thought it would never get better, but I achieved what I like to call the impossible. Secondly I like the line, “on the walls of the hall of fame be students, be teachers be politicians, be preachers be believers, be leaders be astronauts be champions be truth seekers.” What these lines mean to me is that all these people are champions. they all had to work past the people that doubted them and the challenges that came over them. This was their impossible moment. I believe that everyone will have there impossible moments, some have already happened others are creeping around the bend. But it will come and I hope you think back to the song “Hall of Fame” and know that everyone has to go through there impossible moments and that everyone gets through them with a little push of

Drops of sweat flow from the temple of my head to my locked jaw. Holding 200 pounds of iron overhead, knowing this amount of weight could shatter my ribs. Every rep is a like a battle between my body and my mind. Arms and chest on fire, while struggling for air, I continued to push the dense barbell skyward. Rep after rep, my body screams in desperation; this is too much weight. What was I thinking?
