Pale

Visually, the Pale Man is horrendous and intimidating, similar to the frog. The setting the pale man lives in also adds the monstrous characteristics he possesses. The room’s ceiling is painted of the portraits of children that have been slaughtered by this monster. The scene shows a pile of shoes in one corner. On the other corner, the skeletons of the bodies of the children rest. The Pale Man sits at the end of a long table that is covered with food such as red grape, red fruit tarts, and red

Nabokov did not care to distinguish this much, However, or his style is filled with poetic flair. Even though one section of his novel, Pale fire, is an actual poem, Nabokov uses poetic devices throughout. For example, he writes: “it was this medly of metallic melodies,” has a definite rhythm. Saying the phrase steadily and tapping every time the “me” sound appears creates a musical phrase-

Pale Fire has spawned a wide variety of interpretations and a large body of written criticism, which Finnish literary scholar Pekka Tammi estimated in 1995 as more than 80 studies.(Wiki) Although no “correct” interpretation exists, a strong case can be made for interpreting the novel in terms of Kinbote’s insanity. His mental decline, paired with his academic unfulfillment, sparked by harsh criticism by his colleagues leads him to murder John Shade in order to obtain the author’s most recent poem

I would like to start out by reading you something that was written the year I graduated high school by the late Doctor Carl Sagan. This is a passage from his book, Pale Blue Dot. It was inspired by a series of photographs he had requested NASA take using the Voyager 1 spacecraft. It was the first ever portrait of our solar system capturing Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Earth. The images were the last photos take by Voyager. “Look again at that dot. That 's here. That 's home. That

Racism    Racism is a huge problem, especially here in the United States. The United States has come a long was, but there is no doubt that there is much more progress to be made. People seem to follow the patterns of others and fall in to the same issues. It is important that the cycle breaks and individual learn to be independent and speak their own minds instead of following the thoughts and beliefs of others. Until the chains are broken and people fall out of this endless loop, racism will continue

commence, we finally arrived on the dreamy island. Rather than staying at a hotel, we rented a beach house that was supposedly only a six minute walk from Marco Island Beach. While pulling up to the magnificent home, I was holding back tears of joy. The pale grayish-blue house looked like it had jumped right out of a framed photograph hanging up in the waiting room of a doctor's office. Among it’s

forward to his imminent demise. No longer could he smell the sweet kettle corn, instead he could only smell the steaming vomit in the nearby trashcans, he could only hear the shrill screams of those who were riding ‘The Thrill’, and he could only see the pale, blank faces of those who had just exited the ride as they stumbled down the walkway. Another cloud blocked out the sun, leaving him feeling cold on what was supposed to be one of the warmest days that spring, the chills running down his spine as the

passes, the bulbs dim with death and eventually burn out. Summer is coming, the season of getting old, when hair is damaged by chlorine in the blue pools and skin grows pale underneath the outlines of swimsuits and t-shirts stick to the sweating backs of the working people. The sun from last year had already made the white walls pale enough to leave outlines of frames hung up, artwork and photos from the years permanently engrained into the room. As the room sleeps, the walls sweat, and the floors

“And I looked and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger and with death, and with beast of the earth.” [Rev. 6:8] Early American artist Benjamin West, details his conception of the scripture in his smaller study Death on the Pale Horse, in which the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse —Death, War, Famine and Pestilence waste the earth.

When I was five, my parents bought a dog. He was a Lab-mix, half-black and half-brown, with pointed ears, short legs, and wild, hungry eyes. About a week after my father came home with him from the airport, the five-pound bundle of destructive energy single-handedly tore apart one of the bean-bag chairs in the family room. When we found him covered in white tufts, rolling in the carcass of his recently decimated prey, both my brother and I found it apt to change his name from Chase to Spaz. It
