For my Tuesdays with Morrie project, I made waves of the ocean crashing into the shore with

poster board and a lot of construction paper. Boarded by construction paper, I have ten aphorisms.

the waves ahead of him crash along the shore, and the wave knows his time will come to crash on the

shore as well. Morrie compares him to the wave realizing that his death is coming upon Morrie just like

the wave will crash into shore.

For the steps to my project, I first went to Target to get the poster board. Then, I got home and

started to cut the poster board into ocean waves. After I cut the poster board I took the part that I cut off

    Etel Adnan's Use Of Metaphor In The Morning After My Death

    Throughout literature, authors often use metaphor to help explain, describe, or bring to life a complex concept or object.

When looking at the stanza above, interpretations could range from a nature, religion, militaristic, and/or moral meaning of the tightly packed metaphors Adnan writes. In this essay, I will discuss how Etel Adnan uses metaphor in the stanza above from her poem The Morning After /…

    The Seventh Man Analysis

    In the short story “The Seventh Man” Haruki Murakami, uses a horrific typhoon to overcome a childhood tragedy about the seventh man and his friend K. Haruki Murakarni uses one man’s recurring fear of a childhood tragedy to shape and form his character through a terrifying wave that swallows his friend. The author uses imagery, foreboding, and symbolism in this story to construct a sense of fear and bring a wave to life. At the beginning of the story, the author uses imagery to give the surroundings of the main character on a dark, weary night and to set the scene for the story, “‘It was the biggest wave I had ever seen in my life,’ he said. ‘A strange wave. An absolute giant’”(Maurakami 7-8).…

    Alfred Lord Tennyson Five Stages Of Grief

    Tennyson wrote In Memoriam A.H.H. following the death of his close friend, Arthur Henry Hallam. Devastated by the abrupt loss of life, he began to doubt many of his prior convictions and beliefs, using writing as a tool to attempt at making peace with this tragedy. It is a piece filled with Tennyson’s sadness and pain from the loss of his friend. Through the elegy, we are able to see the five stages of grief as defined by the Kubler-Ross model: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. In Memoriam A.H.H. takes us on a journey through Tennyson’s grieving process as a war between God and nature wages in the background.…
