Lit Term Def. ''Epigram'' (And by default ''Aphorism'' as well)

Catcher In the Rye, Lit Analysis

1. Angst angst angst swear curse swear crazy crazy angst swear curse, society sucks, and I'm a stupid jerk.

2. To be completely honest, I couldn't really find a theme to this book. If you have an idea of one please share. To me this books was just the tale of an average boy who seemed extremely DONE with life.

3. The authors tone was very dull, judgemental, void of sympathy for most everyone. Holden Caulfield finds almost each and every person he meets to be a phony. Then shuns them from his mind. But because of this, he is left with no one who understands him. Alone. Half his story is him wandering in search of someone to talk to. Yet all his potential candidates end up (in his mind) being phony and not worth his time.

La Pregunta GRANDE!!!

Suppose that a genius scientist/doctor/humanitarian who has been off in the most remote jungles and mountains of the world doing research for the past twenty years returns with the cure for a horrible disease. Lets use cancer as an example. With all the job opportunities and revenue generated by the hospital for procedures like the oncologist, the chemotherapy sessions, and the countless check ups that accompany such an ailment would the government really allow that specific disease to be cured? Or instead would the loss of job opportunities and money be to great for the economy to handle?

Ap styyyyle Hamlet Essay...

There are many ways to interpret a hero. They have been depicted as people that possess great courage and strength, and as someone who walks by a piece of garbage on the street that takes the time to throw it away. With such a broad spectrum of what a hero could be it's easy to see the differences between any two protagonists. To give an example, Hamlet has his end of the spectrum with the intellectuals. Such as Sherlock Holmes and Odysseus. While someone like Beowulf is on the other side with those of great strength and courage. Hercules, and Gilgamesh.
Though Hamlet does not possess the physical prowess of Beowulf, he possesses great tactical ingenuity. Hamlets ability to look into a situation, analyze every possible outcome, and formulate a plan far surpasses that of Beowulf. The play ''Murder Of Gonzago'' depicts the murder of his father by his uncle Claudius. As they watch the play Hamlet planned to look for any form of body language that hints towards his uncles guilt. This is a cunning, well thought out plan that requires time, patients, and planning. As opposed to Beowulf who enjoys diving headlong into battles, then stabbing everything that moves.
In the majority of Hamlet's soliloquies he accurately and concisely weighs his options. Analyzing both sides before making a choice. ''To be or not to be..'' illustrates his dilemma. He can either exact revenge upon his uncle, or commit suicide. He understands that either option is a sin, and will result in him going to hell. After and intense internal struggle, he realizes he would rather not go to hell alone. He opts to kill his uncle. Beowulf would opt to kill anything. If his people would revere him for it, it would be dead.
Hamlets use of language sets him apart from the epic heros. Through words rather than an exchange of blows, Hamlet can rally others to his cause. Or if he wants to, simply insult Rosencrantz by discreetly calling him stupid.

(Mainly pay attention to the "Google" part in the beginning, if you're curious like me and want to see the rest, watch at your own discretion)


Oh the internet and searches, you're greatest friends in the whole wide world. Something you might not know though, is that Google uses a complex algorithm to accurately guess the most likely search based on a few letters you type in. I know scary right? But no need to worry, they only have your best interests in mind. This allows these search engines to more accurately and concisely supply you with the best information for you. Giving you the most frequently searched and chosen site. This puts a vast amount of solid information at the very beginning of the list. Your searches at home can also influence the algorithm. If you constantly search for, lets say, "Why Superman is superior to Batman." The algorithm takes that into account and immediately gives you the exact phrase you're looking for. And how!!
