Shadow play

phobias. They are afraid of water, spiders, ghosts, etc. Even I am scared about such things. You know how there’s always that one kid who’s always terrified of something? Always jumping at the next unsuspecting sound? He is even afraid of his own shadow? Well, I was one of those kids. When I was 10 I had a nightmare. I saw that something was

He once told me that depression felt like a shadow. Everywhere he went, it was right there with him. The difference between depression and a shadow is that when the sun sinks below the horizon and the stars begin to appear, the shadow loses its fuel and leaves until dawn. With depression, night only made the shadow stronger. He described depression as a broken feeling; he had cracks within himself where sadness always seemed to settle. He had told me when I first met him that I would never understand

I couldn’t sleep and I wasn’t going to be able to sleep. I was an insomniac despite my parents telling me I just wanted to be up late at night. Please. No one wants to be awake at 4:30 in the morning. But I tossed and turned anyway, trying desperately to get my body to rest. Eventually I decided to give up and position myself on a chair facing my window. I tried to do this when I couldn’t sleep because it was peaceful outside and sometimes I relaxed so much I fell asleep. Other times I just watched

Why does Odysseus see himself in those delusions? In my perspective, Odysseus, the ruler of Ithaca and a Greek ruler of Troy, is such a character that does not seem as delusional as Ajax, yet there are some characteristics within him, which consequently make him view himself as delusional. Unfortunately, completing this question thoroughly was quite difficult, as Odysseus did not provide many statements. Nonetheless, to begin with, in comparison to Ajax, this ruler does not allow his feelings of

is called Across Tender Land and was inspired by Saurer’s surroundings while growing up (Shadow Casting). On piece, in particular, caught my eye. His Shadow Casting sculpture is around 75 pieces of welded steel and charred wood composed into different shapes mounted on a wall. When I first saw this piece, I found it interesting, but as I got closer, sensored lights came on and caused each piece to cast a shadow on the wall behind the sculpture. This piece of art reminded me the incense burner that

yelling nasty comments to the children as they walk past her house two door down from the Finch’s house; she represents the old way of life in Maycomb County. Comparing her from book to film, her impact isn’t highlighted as much in film since her shadow hasn’t cast as much onto the children as she is only showcased in one scene being at 11:38-13:05 in the film. Her character is one that acts on the shift of values and attitude between herself and the children. Harper Lee’s Mrs Dubose is scary and

Scrooge, a dull, hateful hoary miserable, miser that is always grumpy, doesn’t like anything to do with happiness or joy. According to the text, he has a frosty rime on his head, thin lips blue that spoke shrewdly in a grating voice. Scrooge has a pointed nose with shriveled cheeks. The text refers to him as “bitterer than any wind that blew and no warmth could warm, no wintry weather could chill him.” In the first part of the story, one night a ghost appears in his house, he turns out to be his

My personality is a far away cave. The mouth of this cave is blocked by several massive rocks; each covered with a smooth and gentle exterior, but deeply rooted into the concrete. It makes it nearly impossible for anyone to enter. In addition to these rocks, there are long thick chains surrounding the opening of this cave which makes the thought of entering a laborious feat. When looking at the cave from the outside, you will perceive it as rough or scary. Although, if you find yourself to be an

Shadow often does small coin tricks throughout the novel, but there are two coins in particular that take on greater significance. His gold coin symbolizes the sun, while his silver coin symbolizes the moon. Taking literally the idea that these heavenly bodies “watch over” the earth, both these coins offer protection in different ways. Together, they represent the importance of balance and duality, gold and silver, life and death, the sun and the moon. The gold coin that Shadow takes from the “treasure
