reads, 'rumor has it that even he would gladly swap his boar’s teeth for a Van Heusen Oxford!” (Elliot) The way the man is dressed, appears as something straight out of Hollywood, with the iconic bone in his hair. This man could be considered a caveman in a prehistoric cartoon. Consequently, the attire
Not only did curiosity prompt Odysseus to search the island, but his ego wanted to prove his invincibility. Although his men plead him to take the possessions of the Cyclopes and leave, Odysseus “...wished to see the caveman, what he had to offer― no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends” (Homer 9. 130-132). A Cyclops traps Odysseus and his crew in the cave, and at an attempt to escape, he devises a cunning plan. The clever leader and his men narrowly flee from
Tennessee William’s 1947 play ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ has, as its main protagonist, Blanche DuBois; a fading southern belle who moves to New Orleans to live her sister, Stella, and brother-in-law, Stanley, after losing everything. Williams skilfully uses many dramatic techniques, such as characterisation, stage directions and motifs, to highlight the crucial conflict between Stanley and Blanche and emphasise the impact this has on both characters and how this relates to several key thematic issues
The history of Wicca is often debated by different people. It technically started in 1954, but was based on a mix of ancient religions. We will briefly cover the history of Wicca from caveman days all the way up to modern times in the following paragraphs. In 1908, a statue known as the Venus of Willendorf was found in a cave near what is now Vienna, Austria. Archaeologists believe that the figure comes from 24,000 and 22,000 B.C.

comes in all varieties, whether it is film, commercials, music or general consumer ads. Either way, they are all used to engage or encourage the reader or viewer to feel a certain way. Music has always been a catalyst for human beings since the first caveman started tapping his feet in a rhythmic pattern. Music can be used to express any feeling a person can have about any subject they might think about. It can be used to describe the ideals of an era or time frame; just look at music over the last one
“Ha, it’s Mr. Caveman who somehow got accepted into this school without a tablet,” exclaims my annoying bully. He turns, does a 180, smashes my desk and yells, “Did that startle you? You baby!” I slam my hands on my desk creating a massive soundwave. “Well isn’t my fault my parents are so poor they can’t afford a tablet,” I lie. This is the norm every time the teacher takes the attendance. Except today the day started a little bit late. Today, unsurprisingly nothing has changed. I disregard him
When we think back on the mistakes we have made in life did any of them have a good outcome? For young Stanley Yelnats in Holes by Louis Sachar, a mistake turned his life around. The mistake put him in a bad place, but by the end of the story he had actually ended up with many good outcomes. Stanley benefitted from many things from the mistake made by Hector Zeroni. Stanley made a friend, received/ found a treasure, and also bettered himself as a person. Even though he got pulled into a mess he did
The short story, “A Sound of Thunder,” by Ray Bradbury, supports that humans can have a sense of an over-inflated ego in their skills. As shown by the theme, even the smallest of actions have far-reaching consequences; especially shown through Eckles’ characterization and decisions. Eckles’ ego has far reaching effects, and so do the results of his cowardice. Eckles does not listen and has many questions about the change of the future. Finally, actions have consequences and Eckles learnt the greatest
The evolution of warfare, from small raids to large scale total war, influenced the evolution in weaponry. Whether it is a rock for a caveman, a sword for a knight, or a gun for a marine, there is an ever-present need for a more effective way to kill the enemy. The obligation to better protect one’s citizens from the enemy further increases the demands for “better and improved” weapons, which dictate the need for weapons to evolve. The fundamental methods to injure and kill humans and other living
