    Analysis Of The Colosseum

    Augustus, the first emperor of Rome once stated, “I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble.” Rome may have continued to be like any other city throughout the Roman Empire without the influence of Augustus, but now it is prominently known as a goldmine for historical research. One of the most distinguished architectures of this great empire is the Colosseum, which today is recognized as being one of the world’s largest amphitheaters ever constructed.

    By The Waters Of Babylon Analysis

    John is the main character and the protagonist of the story “By the Waters of Babylon” and the son of the tribal priest. He is a character who displays bravery and determination in his personality. The reason why I chose the words bravery and determination to describe John is because he was brave enough to travel to the Place of Gods even though warned that it was forbidden to journey towards there. He assumed that he would have gotten killed if he trespassed the Place of the Gods instead risked his life anyways. He felt determined when starting his journey when he observed signs to see if he was destined to travel East. When he saw these signs, he was more determined to discover what was in the Place of Gods. Now there is another important…

Praise came also from Joseph L. Feather-stone, in New Republic, who used the last two lines of the poem to illustrate his point that “[Larkin] is especially good at gathering up the substance of a seemingly slow-paced poem and concentrating it into enormously powerful last lines, lines that echo after they are read.” For Louis L. Martz, in The Yale Review, “An Arundel Tomb” was a “perfect poem,” and like Featherstone he also chose to comment on the last two lines:…
