The Larks

“Phoenix” Mike spoke after an eerily long silence “have you still got the backpack, with the chests?” Phoenix nodded and dropped the pack onto the floor digging out the two small boxes and placing them side by side, looking up at Mike for instruction. “Ok you need to take out your map” The second Phoenix touched the orbs they sprung to life, taking their position in the sky, Nix didn’t need to lay the atlas down, he could see very clearly five glowing orbs in such close proximity to each other

Authors sometimes use their literature to demonstrate their opinions about a certain issue. One of these topics may be racial and ethnic discrimination. We see how authors express their views about racism through the literatures “Walk Well, My Brother”, “Lark Song”, and “Cowboys and Indians”. In “Walk Well, My Brother”, Farley Mowat focuses on racism against the Eskimos in 1951. As the character of Charlie Lavery unfolds, one is able to see how racist he is. He discriminates against Konala’s entire life

to behold and a gift given by the gods. While praying to their gods, Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark says “Let me learn the lessons you have/ hidden in every leaf and rock” (Prayer 1, Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark). Chief Yellow Lark shows the Native American philosophy that people should learn from nature and that there is a lesson to be found in everything. The term “let me learn” is Chief Yellow Lark asking for permission or gain a clear insight, combined with “hidden is every” means that the

Throughout William Shakespeare’s sonnet, the reader understands that the speaker is going through a very difficult time. Shakespeare gives us a lot of emotions such as depression, happiness, and envy are expressed with figures of speech. A reader can get a sense of despair from what the narrative expresses and feels about himself. The speaker is self-centered and only talks about himself and how he feels. The theme involved in this sonnet is the power that love has and the speaker’s disposition

This is a thought-provoking development of both Nora and Torvald's characters because a squirrel is quite different from a lark. A squirrel is a small furry rodent that tends to have negative and sneaky connotations. If someone is to squirrel away something, they are hiding or storing it. This is unequivocally related to what Nora is doing: she is hiding or squirreling away

William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, elicits sympathy from the reader through the theme of how love can kill. Shakespeare’s use of many literary devices such as metaphor, imagery and symbolism causes this theme to be evident. Therefore, the beauty of love disguises the violence or death it may also cause. The powerful nature of love throughout the poem is easily interpreted through Shakespeare’s use of metaphors. “'Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.” This quote is a metaphor

When finding vigilante justice should we follow the law or our own personal vendetta? When I hear of someone trying to arrest a rapist, I automatically think of the TV show Law & Order: SVU that deals with solving rape cases and a variety of sexual assault cases. When they’re solving rape cases, they look at the crime scene in order to get a motive, evidence, and witnesses that will help them find a cause to pinpoint them to the identity of the rapist where they will go to trial. If there is no type

the wrong person you act out against just apologize and everything will be fine. The lark is commonly used as a symbol in a variety of ways. Twain uses the lark in the part about going to bed early and waking up early. Waking up with the sun is the normal time to rise for the year this was written. Depending on the time of year the sun usually rises at about seven in the morning. Twain says to wake up with a lark is respectable but “you can easily train him to get up at half past nine” (Norton, 550)

broken during the scene, due to the threat of execution if they do not comply. Shakespeare uses vivid imagery to describe how they part, as his: “…imagination [is] functioning at its highest lyrical intensity, with interwoven symbols of nightingale and lark, darkness and light, death and love,” (Goddard 12). His use of these ideas shows the Romeo and Juliet cannot continue to be together, as violence pervades their lives, leading up to their tragic end. The copious imagery in this sentimental scene shows

Romeo realizes that morning has arrived, and prepares to leave Juliet’s chamber in order to avoid being spotted. At first, Juliet insists that the nightingale, the bird of the night, has made the music, not the lark. The scary realization that the singing was in fact coming from the lark strikes, and Juliet rushes Romeo out of her room, while he cries, “More light and light, more dark and dark our woes” (3.5 36).
