Castle On The Hill Analysis
The song I am analyzing is “Castle on the Hill” by Ed Sheeren. The main theme of the song is that Ed Sheeren wants to go back to his childhood . He misses his childhood and his friends hagning out together. Ed Sheeren goes into detail about how him and his friends used to hang out together and do stuff that kids would do. One of the 5 devices that I have is “And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down.” Ed Sheeren means in this pargraph that when he smelt a sense of home he felt comftorable. Another 5 device is “But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home”, what Ed sheeren means by this is that he was so used to the people that were around him and raised him that he can't wait to go home.

Ed Sheeren has good

    Early in "The Castle," the happy Kerrigan family is served a chicken dinner by Sal, wife of proud Darryl and mother of daughter Tracey and sons Dale, Steve and Wayne; Wayne, currently in prison, is the only one missing from the table. Dad (Michael Caton) observes something on the chicken and asks his wife (Anne Tenney) what it is. "Seasoning," she says proudly. Dad beams: "Seasoning! Looks like everybody's kicked a goal."

    Due to her family’s constant negatively impacted actions, Jeannette grows to mistrust them. One such action happens near the beginning of the book, when the kids are still trusting and loyal to their parents. It was in Battle Mountain while the weather was cold, and the dad figured that to warm up the family was going to go to a hot spot up north. So the family visits the waterhole and starts to swim in it. During that time Jeannette is the only one out of the three kids that could not swim, so Rex takes it upon himself to teach her. Unfortunately, Rex’s method of teaching was unorthodox as well as dangerous. The method involved dragging Jeannette to the middle of the water and prying her loose from him, allowing her to sink underneath while…

    Passage 1: In this first passage the author describes the scenic views of the rolling countryside as he and Willie Stark drive to Mason City for some quick press photos at Willies old house. The author spends a great deal of time in this passage detailing the landscape and introducing figures. The entire passage reminds me of the time in which I was driving out to Arizona this summer with my family. Our drive as was the one in the book was highly defined by the apparition of rolling country hills, thick forestry, and a surreal sort of feeling that hung over the car's atmosphere. As in the book were the main character Jack Burden pondered…

    J.R.R Tolkien once said, “There is indeed no better medium for moral teaching than the good fairy story” (73). Often when fairy stories are mentioned, people think of gallant knights fighting an evil beast. Knights such as Geoffrey Chaucer’s knight in Canterbury Tales or even the nonfictional Richard the Lion Heart are exemplify knights. Determining the definition of ideal, however, determines whether or not a knight is ideal. Ideal in its simplest form means “a standard of excellence.” Many knights, fiction and nonfiction, fit this description; however, one knight in particular lives up to the description. Sir Gawain in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight exemplifies the ideal knight.…

You bestow all your trust upon your parents without even realizing it and you expect to be in good hands. You expect your family to keep you away from bad situations and keep you out of harm’s way. This is quite typical for most families, but for Jeannette she experiences things much different. In The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls, the moving and traveling that her family partakes in on pages 48-50 reveals how irresponsible the parents are when it comes to their children and also how accustomed the children have become to a life full of bad situations.…

    Hilly reminds me of Hitler she was a league president and in charge of pretty much everything. She was bossy, always stuck her nose in everyone’s business. Like the time when she was talking to miss Leefolt about building a new bathroom for Abilene outside in the garage. Hilly was racist against the colored by saying they carry a disease. That’s why colored people should not be allowed to use a white person’s bathroom. She does not like skeeter helping black people. Hilly feels she cannot be friends with someone like that. People seem to be afraid of Hilly of what she might do, if you do not go by what she wants. Hilly does remind me of Hitler; Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party, he was racist against the Jewish people. Hitler also said…

Whether it was solely for the continuation of our race through procreation, or by uniting one with another in matrimony; the two genders have found it impediment to spend their lives in each other’s midst. Over the span of several millennia we not only see the evolution of these relationships, but we can also witness the transformation of the roles each gender plays in everyday life. One such period where we see many of these roles evolving occur is chronicled in Medieval Literature. Writings such including Chaucer’s “The Canterbury…

    "Hills Like White Elephants" by Earnest Hemingway In his summary of "Hills Like White Elephants" by Earnest Hemingway, Paul Rankin comes to a few conclusions about the a young girl in the story. Using both Carl Jung and Karen Horney’s application of human behavior to buttress his opinion, Rankin comes to the conclusion that Jig was the superior actor and the unnamed American is the inferior actor in the play. The evidence Rankin uses to prove Jung’s theory is that the nature of the mans feelings of inadequacy and inferiority in the face of Jigs imminent transformation from the girl into motherhood (Rankin 234). And his conclusions using Horney’s school of thought is mans fundamental lack of a life-creating power with which woman is imbued, has motivated the creation of such historically masculine enterprises as state, religion, art, and science, in mans attempt to compensate for that insurmountable deficiencies .a (Rankin 235) There is further evidence that Rankin’s take on the American in White Elephants is one of an inferior player by using the banter between Jig and the unnamed American male to show she was in control, We encounter further evidence of the mans inferiority complex in his severe response to Jigs playful banter about the similarity between hills and elephants. Having already admitted that he has never seen white elephants, the man angrily berates Jig, saying, Just because you say I wouldn’t have doesn’t prove anything (Rankin 236). Paul Rankin’s over all view of "Hills Like White…
