Lake Morning In Autumn

It would be
hard for a student of poetry to not find a similarity of mood and message between "Lake
Morning in Autumn" and Robert Frost's beloved poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy
Evening." Although Livingston's poem is overtly a nature poem about a stork, he didn't name
the poem for the stork. His title, "Lake Morning in Autumn," draws a parallel, by
contrast, with Frost's poem. Frost's poem happens in the evening; this poem occurs at sunrise.
Frost's poem takes place in a woods overlooking a frozen lake; this poem takes place on a lake.
Frost's poem is set in winter, with "easy wind and downy flake" in the air; this poem
is set in autumn, with "pencil-slanted rain." 

Despite these
contrasts, the isolation, exhaustion, and determination of the protagonists--man and
stork--unite the two works. The stork is on a lonesome journey, separated from his fellows, and
stops to rest, "ponderously alone and some weeks early." He is utterly exhausted, so
much so that he doesn't care about his own appearance, "too tired to arrange his
wind-buffeted plumage." Despite his loneliness, despite his tiredness, he sighs and mounts
slowly to the sky to resume his journey toward his distant destination, just as the man in
Frost's poem continues on with "miles to go before I sleep." 

As in
"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," the overriding message one gets from this poem
is of the internal motivation that drives one onward, despite one's personal discomfort. People,
like birds, have the ability to press on toward a goal that is greater than their momentary
desires. Whether that goal involves "promises to keep" or represents some other
internal compunction, it allows people to push through loneliness and fatigue to achieve
success. In this poem, the subtle message transcends the surface meaning. It calls us to heed
the inner drive that compels us toward our ultimate destination, even when we are alone and
exhausted.

Why is Hamlet so cruel to Ophelia immediately after he gives the famous "To be or not to be" speech? Act 3

In addition
to the many mixed emotionsis dealing with, there are a few other interpretations of this scene
that are worth noting.

The Kenneth Branaugh film depiction of the play
suggests thatknows that he is being spied on at that very minute byand .  I think this
interpretation has a lot of validity - and makes his behavior even more accounted for.

When Hamlet asksin line 103, "Ha, ha!  Are you honest?" the footnote suggests
he means to not only ask if she is at-that-moment telling him the truth, but is she also
"chaste" and "modest."  The interpretation here is that Hamlet and Ophelia
have already carried on a sexual relationship - but that Ophelia is hiding this truth from her
father and everyone else.  If you look at it this way, it is almost like Hamlet is saying,
"Are you lying to me about your true feelings just like you've been lying to your father
about your virginity?"  Perhaps Ophelia hasn't directly lied. 
But she's not living in complete honesty with anyone (including herself) so Hamlet has reason
not to trust her.

Islam how the Islam religion is practiced?

Islam as a religion has
various practices that enable its followers to worship God as they believe he is to be
worshipped. In this sense, you may like to focus on the five pillars of Islam which are talked
about above and also the Quran, which is the Islamic sacred scriptures. These contain the
essential nature of Islam and what it means to be an adherent of this
religion.

What is Brown's purpose for going into the woods?

gives
his clinging, timid wife the impression that he has to go away on a business trip. However,
there is considerablein the opening scene suggesting that he is deceiving her and has some
entirely different destination in mind.

"Well, she's
a blessed angel on earth; and after this one night I'll cling to her skirts and follow her to
heaven.

With this excellent resolve for the future, Goodman Brown felt
himself justified in making more haste on his present evil
purpose.

The author does not state what
that evil purpose might be, but the story itself reveals what it is at the . Young Goodman
Brown, whom everyone regards as a nearly perfect man and ideal husband, is on his way to a
devil-worshipping ceremony to be held in the woods. At the high point of the story, the
authordescribes the ceremony with his characteristic brilliance in painting word pictures of
settings. We can imagine the big fire lighting up the tall trees and lighting up the faces of
many of the people from Young Goodman Brown's village whom he recognizes in
attendance.

The greatin "Young Goodman Brown" is that the timid
little wife he thought he had left behind seems to be leading the whole orgy herself. She was
mistaken about her husband's morals, but he was also mistaken about hers. Both have very dark
sides to their characters which they steadfastly keep hidden from the world. But evidently the
evil in their natures is like the pressure building up inside an active volcano and has to come
out occasionally. This orgy is that outburst for Brown, his wife, and most of their friends and
neighbors.

How did Brown's wife get there ahead of Brown? He left town before
she did. A clue is to be found in the story. Brown meets a sinister man on the road who
accompanies him on the rest of his journey and tells him:

You are late, Goodman Brown, said he. The clock of the Old South was striking as I
came through Boston, and that is full fifteen minutes agone.

The young man really lacks his wife's aggressiveness and fearlessness. He has been
proceeding at a slow pace because he dreads reaching his destination and also because, as the
narrator tells us, he is afraid there might be Indians behind every tree. Also, it is very dark
out there among the trees, and his wife could easily have slipped past without his knowing
it.

So Brown's purpose for going into the woods is to attend a
devil-worshipping orgy far away from town and farther away from normal civilized morality. He
may have thought he was the only one from his community who would be there, but he finds out
that everyone, including his sweet little wife, has the same evil impulses as himself. Was it
all a bad dream? Or did it really happen?

Be it so if you
will; but, alas! It was a dream of evil omen for young Goodman Brown. A stern, a sad, a darkly
meditative, a distrustful, if not a desperate man did he become from the night of that fearful
dream. 

 

Referring to "Marriage is a Private Affair," describe how a father's love for his son and his grandsons overcame his deep-rooted prejudices.

Part of
how Okeke's resistance to his son and grandson breaks down comes as a result of his own guilt.
Okeke had taken a very hard- lined and prejudicial approach to Nnaemeka's and Nene's marriage.
 Okeke's embrace of his own cultural traditions and his own singular notion of the good caused
him to draw arbitrary lines against his son. Okeke had demonstrated a strong fervor for these
lines.

All of this changes when he hears that he has grandchildren.  For
Okeke, this is the one aspect that he never included in his calculations.  The reality is that
while he can shun his son and daughter- in- law, he would also be turning away his
grandchildren.  A significant part of the later stages of his life would be absent in his
decision.  When he reads Nene's letter that...

HOW DOES BOTH FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION ENFLUENCE THE LITERARY FICTION ESPACIALY IN AVATAR AND THE LORD OF THE RING STORIES?

I would
say that the primary manner in whichand, in particular, science fiction can be seen in both
narratives is the creation of an alternate setting that parallels our own.  In both films, the

What methods do the pigs use to brainwash the animals in Animal Farm?

The pigs
use a variety of methods to brainwash and manipulate the animals to act passively and obey their
orders.illustrates how the pigs use language to make seemingly rational arguments and eloquently
manipulate the animals into agreeing with their decisions. I

nitially, the
pigs claim that they should be allowed to eat the milk and apple in their mash because they are
brainworkers. As the most intelligent and educated animals on the farm, the pigs argue that
their unique skills set them apart and are the reason they have certain privileges. They also
use clever arguments to avoid manual labor and give orders rather than physically help the
animals during the harvest.

Onceusurps power,spreads false propaganda in
Napoleon's favor and cleverly manipulates the wording of the Seven Commandments. Squealer
presents Napoleon as the farm's savior and claims that Napoleon's decision to forego Sunday
meetings emphasizes his selflessness.

Squealer also usesas a scapegoat to
distract from Napoleon's mistakes while phrasing every argument to benefit their new leader. In
addition to continually praising Napoleon, Squealer also strikes fear into the animals by
reminding them of Mr. Jones and portraying Napoleon as their fearless guardian. Napoleon also
travels with a pack of menacing dogs, which influences dissidents to remain silent.

The pigs also alter the wording of the Seven Commandments to align with Napoleon's
changing policies. The pigs add "with sheets" to the Fourth Commandment and the words
"to excess" to the Fifth Commandment to sanction sleeping in beds and drinking
alcohol.

They also add the words "without cause" to the Sixth
Commandment to sanction killing political dissidents before eliminating the commandments
altogether and forming a contradicting commandment, which says, "ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL, BUT
SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS." By the end of the story, the pigs have
successfully formed an aristocracy, where Napoleon reigns as a tyrant and all pigs enjoy special
privileges.
