Meridian

The Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West is a novel written by an author of the name Cormac McCarthy. Cormac McCarthy wrote this to show a runaway teenager’s perspective on living during the late 1840s. Throughout this novel, McCarthy shows the reader the feeling of being in hell and describing a kid’s journey through hell. This eye-opening novel takes place in Mexico and the American Southwest, Circa. This historical fiction novel is surprisingly accurate when describing the events

Blood Meridian      The ending of the Blood Meridian is both abstruse and compelling. The setting when the kid first walks into town (pp.324) seems almost too familiar. This town could be any number of different towns located throughout the Midwest, but it seems strangely related to the town of Nacogdoches. The Kid, once thought to be on some sort of migratory movement to the West, has now completed a full circle and has returned to the place of his birth. Birth not in the

Museum Visit Paper – Ante Meridian by Frederick Waugh ART 101 My family and I recently visited the Orlando Museum of Art in Orlando, Florida. The museum enjoys a seemingly eclectic collection of artifacts, sculptures, photographs, and paintings. While perusing the gallery I was fascinated by one painting in particular. The piece was called “Ante Meridian”, oil on board, c.a. 1935 by Frederick Judd Waugh (American 1861-1940). This representational painting was of a presumably north eastern

In the poem “Paper Matches,” Paulette Jiles discusses the role that women are expected to conform to in society. The author uses a motif of fire and specific pronoun usage to demonstrate the theme that women are confined to the expectations of working in the house while men are allowed freedom. Paulette Jiles uses a recurring theme of fire to convey the anger that the Jiles feels towards the idea of gender norms. Throughout the poem, the author uses words such as, “rages of a small animal,” “book

In Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian and Michael Punke’s The Revenant, violence and death become the constants of two characters amongst the rigid, natural landscape of the United States of America in the 1800s. In both of these novels, the natural order of the United States is harshly stripped away by settlers trying to dominate the land that thrived perfectly well without their presence. Those who are unnatural to the land seek to punish those who are natural to it. In this environment, violence

The classic novel, Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy, has a judge that states, “Men are born for games. Every child knows that play is nobler than work.” The same judge later says that the human nature for games founds society as it is, especially war. I stipulate that games go

In the historical fiction novel Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein, it is evident from early on that the author incorporated a variety of literary techniques into this unique and captivating story. I will focus on the literary elements found on pages 57-61, which I found to be a good representation of Verity’s writings to the Gestapo. I believe that this passage pays homage to Verity’s sarcastic nature through a writing style that is reflective of her often-outlandish thoughts and feelings towards

High school provides a completely different atmosphere than college. Having experienced the disparity between Kent Meridian High School and Green River College through the running start program, I learned to adapt to different situations and become successful in both.

Meridian Actin’ Womanish: Defining Womanism & Black Feminist Thought There are multiple definitions of a Womanist, though the same can be said about Feminists, it is important to make the distinctions between the two as well as identify the similarities. Alice Walker, author of Meridian, famously said, “Womanist is to feminist as purple is to lavender.” They share similar qualities and in the novel Meridian, the black female protagonist is an example of how claiming both black and female causes a
