Lighthouse Tower

“The Moon is a Lighthouse: Revisited” is a short story that relies heavily on symbolism and imagery and intentionally makes elements of itself vague enough to be interpreted in a variety of ways. The primary story is quite simple on the surface is quite simple. A mother tells her sons to bring her a river. They move the bed towards the river face a window. It is raining, and the brothers decide that the rain is good for making mud. The moon is not visible from the window however. Then, despite the

It's hard. This city. I live in a tough city in a tough world, and that makes it hard. Sometimes I love it here. Sometimes New York is life on the brink. It's people struggling to survive, their will alone carrying them through. It's energy and intensity, and everything taken to extremes. Sometimes it's the cliché of the dirt and suffering, the grey isolation that inspires and sparks creativi¬ty. But there are times when it is none of that. Times when all I see are empty shells running as

shallow one. Fixed into place by a mushroom-shaped anchor, these small ships (rarely above 50 tons) would initially use large lanterns affixed atop the main mast. Their main advantage is that they could be placed in areas where it was impossible for lighthouses to act as efficient seamarks. Their main disadvantage, especially the early ones, is that turbulent waters could slightly shift the anchor and thus the ship’s positioning (Talbot 1913, pp. 241–42). In the worst-case scenario, the chains could snap

In both Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse and Forster's Howards End, most of the characters are devoid of any social conscience until circumstances beyond their control force them to realize that being morally responsible to one another is the key to happiness. Only when this connection is made can each person realize their true potential for personal growth. First, in To the Lighthouse, Mr. Ramsey is constantly portrayed as a self-absorbed man who thinks of what he could have been and how people

G. Blaine, a presidential nominee. The Semiahmoo Harbor Lighthouse was established near Blaine in 1905, after determining that a red lantern hanging from a cluster of three piles at the entrance to Drayton Harbor wasn’t enough. The 1 ½ story dwelling had a lantern at the center of its peaked roof with a fourth order Fresnel lens and a third-class Daboll fog trumpet. In 1939, an automatic light and bell were installed, putting the lighthouse keeper out of a job. But unless weather conditions were

Virginia Woolf’s “To the lighthouse” has many themes that can be discussed, especially those related to art, life, reality and time. Some critics argue that there is a life-art relationship in the novel, “perceived relations of equivalence between emotional experience and aesthetic (con)figuration, between ‘life’ on the one hand, and shape, trope, structure on the other” (Koppen, 375). However, one must analyze the novel in order to find if it can be true what these critics say. If it is true that

causes that crumpling? What makes the accumulated images fold up over the years? How can one smooth out the folds? These are the pivotal questions raised in the above passage, which captures the central exploration in Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse.  Change and chaos create folds in Lily's life. She clings

 To the Lighthouse – Role of Wife and Mother    Woolf portrays the character of Mrs. Ramsay as a self sacrificing woman and mother as defined through her interactions with men: Charles Tansley, Mr. Carmichael, Paul, Mr. Bankes, Mr. Ramsay, and James. During Mrs. Ramsay's lifetime she is admired by most of these men, and is continually striving to be esteemed by all of them, at any sacrifice to herself. Although there is goodness in Mrs. Ramsay, not unselfishly given, there
