Hospitality In The Odyssey

... you invite them into your home to sit at your table just as king Nestor did. "As soon as they saw the strangers, all came crowding down, waving them on in welcome, urging them to sit."

Bartleby The Scrivener-the Mea

... at the best of his abilities. The narrator no longer finds Turkey useful in the afternoons so he is really just taking up space during this time. Nippers works at the opposite time of Turkey.

The Scarlet Letter (colors)

... the woods, yet adding a sense of security to it all. “Here they sat down on a luxuriant heap of moss, which, at some epoch of the preceding century, had been a gigantic pine, with its root and trunk in the darksome shade…” (177) There is, apparently, plenty of references to the color green. Not only does green represent nature in general, its reference to the forest is also the very depiction of freedom. Nobody watches in the woods to report misbehavior, thus it is here that people may do as they wish. The color gold is o ...

The Writing Styles Of 2 Prominent British Science Fiction Authors

... When read by its original readers the idea of space travel was not a reality. It is now common knowledge that man has walked on the moon, and when this novel is read today no longer is space travel considered to be imaginary.

When reading, one sometimes does not even realize when the author makes the transition from a plausible concept to a ludicrous one. Science fiction is a relatively new term. Novels were ...

In the poem it says, “…I swore to my companions that certainly you were harmless!”, which is the typical statement of people addicted to gamblin ...
