e.e cumming on the futility of Mankind Humankind is devoid of concerns towards the world that shelters them. In e.e cummings poem “Pity this monster, manunkind” is satirical criticism towards how people are evolving only to damage nature. The theme of the poem is opposition, and the author structures his poem’s form, content, punctuation and tone to complement his claim. In this poem, the author expresses his point by stating mankind is self-centered, he defends nature and natural life, and that
“The Last Dog,” by Katherine Patterson showed that it’s okay to be different. You don’t have to follow the crowd. I understood Brock, the main character. I follow the group much like he did at the beginning of the story. I hope to be more like the Brock at the end of the story and do as I wish opposed to what other people are doing. I don’t want those people to influence what I do. I want to break away from that hive mentality. Brock, an artificial human created in the future, was curious about
and technology. Perhaps Stevenson is trying to demonstrate the duel repercussions that scientific discovery can play on mankind. This can be seen in a few different instances in the novella. The first is how Dr. Jekyll and Lanyon disagree on the morality of Jekyll’s
In “Monster Culture (Seven Theses)” Cohen states that monsters are created by the “time, feeling, and place it was made.” (4) It’s developed by a cultural moment at the time in which the monster was created. If you read into thesis number two you will see that a monster never dies. If the monster dies, there is always a good chance it will come back. Thesis three shows us that monsters seem to appear at a time of crisis, which is out of the ordinary. In thesis four, Cohen explains that the monsters
that subject. I am currently in a class that studies how those constraints bring about the creativity in the world. I believe Mary Shelley is an excellent example of how a beaucoup of restraints can lead to one of the best novels of all time, Frankenstein. The most notable would be the time period she wrote it in, that she was a woman pursuing any sort of career in that time period, and creating a new genre of book altogether. Mary Shelley is thought to have a very tragic life. Mary Shelley was
The Unstoppables By Mason Bowman Largely independent you are an emotional person. Often hiding that part of yourself from others for fear or suffering. Thus you often prefer to rather be alone than with people who could discover your soft side! AntAgonizer was one of Grognak’s villains, the story about the AntAgonizer was that her family was killed by ants when she was young, and she has since taken on the belief that ants are superior to humans, citing their instinctual willingness to work together

Heroes play a significant part in Greek myths as well as Roman. The Greeks have the greatest amount of hero myths, it is thought to be because not all myths have such great impression on human capability (Allan, 7). In the Hellenistic trait where adding to the accomplishments and outstanding aspects of mortals are viewed as advantages given by the given by the distant gods by other cultures (Allan, 7). The Greeks view things as realists. This means that they look at things, comprehend, and believe
Everyone is comparing and contrasting everyone to everything, all of the time. Have you ever actually taken the time to observe these comparisons? I think that one interesting comparison is between me and Belle from Beauty and the Beast. We are both very opinionated and we both stand up for what we believe in. Although Belle and I have many similarities, we also have many differences. First of all, we are similar because we are both caring, sometimes a little too much so.This is good because we
Response to literature: Beowulf Chapters 1 & 2 These first 300 lines of Beowulf do a decent job setting the stage for the entire epic. They present the readers with historical background, introduce the first main conflict, and set the general mood of the entire story.
