In Mr. King’s essay, The Symbolic Language of Dreams, his process and techniques describes is very similar to people on a clinical therapeutic spiritual self-discovering journey in which dreams are very much part of the process. Most experience writers have the gift of using life experiences as a flipbook of ideas for personalities, events, and settings for their book. For example, Danielle McGee, a friend of mine, wrote a story about a witch turning a guy into an umbrella. She was angry with her landlord thus using him as person who was changed. Being able to use lucid dreaming or being in a meditative state to recall his memories or dreams is a known technique.
Title Dreams sometimes are inconspicuous, and at times they can be elusive. Additionally, dreams do not attract nor require a copious amount of attention and they reside covertly in the back of someone 's mind. Perhaps the person has not elected to share their dream, so over time, it becomes a work of tired thoughts and ideas that have grown old and the person misplaces or forgets their own dream. More importantly, it is difficult to identify why some dreams incessantly linger in one 's thoughts. The dream doesn’t burn out, instead, it becomes louder and converts into unorganized patterns.
"This is the foundation of the Dream--its adherents must not just believe in it but believe that
Manipulating Moments in Time: Comparing John Hersey’s Hiroshima and Virginia Woolf’s The Death of a Moth Time can be manipulated in several different ways in writing, whether through sentence length, detail, time skips, flashbacks, flashforwards, or any number of other strategies. In their pieces Hiroshima and The Death of a Moth, John Hersey and Virginia Woolf use several techniques to manipulate moments in time; in the beginning of Hiroshima, Hersey prolongs and relives the moments before and during the detonation of the atomic bomb above the city of Hiroshima, while Virginia Woolf stretches out moments in time as a moth flutters along a window sill and dies in her essay The Death of a Moth. There are several different strategies used in the first two sentences of Hersey’s Hiroshima and sentences three through seven of Woolf’s

One of the most important assassinations of the 20th century may well have been that of Patrice Lumumba, the first prime minister of the Republic of Congo, killed on January 17, 1961. In his new book, The Assassination of Lumumba (Verso), Ludo De Witte, an independent Belgian sociologist, draws on a vast array of declassified documents to argue that Belgium, the United States, and the United Nations played pivotal roles in the murder of one of Africa's pioneers of postcolonialism. After the book appeared in Dutch, in 1999, the Belgian parliament commissioned an official investigation of the murder. Q. Any word on the commission's findings so far?
To dream is to desire an achievement which seems unobtainable. Most everyone has trouble convincing themselves that their dreams are within reach. Jim Carrey once said, “So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality.” This is a result of allowing dreams to remain dreams and, instead, opting to take a more reliable path. In doing so, a sense of emptiness that never completely dies out is often developed.
The Vita Merlini by Geoffrey of Monmouth is a retelling of how a well-known sorcerer became a prophet and a king. In this version, Merlin is a king of the southern part of Wales, where he is beloved by his people. The wars in the United Kingdom consequently tried his leadership when a king named Peredur, from South of Wales, comes to start a war with Merlin’s close friend. Knowing this, he decides to help his friend not knowing of the dangers the battle will give to him and his army. During the heat of the battle, Merlin fought valiantly, “But when Merlin saw such great crowds of men present, he was not able to endure them; he went mad again, and, filled anew with fury, he wanted to go to the woods, and he tried to get away by stealth.”
There are many different opinions about the Arthurian Legend, what he was like, who he really loved, if he was nice, and how he lived. The one fact that seems to be undisputed is that King Arthur lived in the fifth-century, and was a British general fought against the Anglo-Saxon tribes. Everything else about King Arthur is debated among historians. This essay will include the very beginnings, where it started, why it is important, what it meant to the people then, what it means to us now, and how the Arthurian Legend has changed.
In the Medieval British legend King Arthur three character archetypes are prominent; the Hero, the Mentor, and the Villain. These archetypes are universal, found in myths from around the world. One ubiquitous archetype that is present in King Arthur
King Arthur is, of course, the central character of the Arthurian tales. However, unlike any normal character, Arthur’s development is unique. Instead of becoming more developed as a character, he becomes a force of his own. Because Arthur’s development is mythic and almost beyond human, he ends up as a non-character, lacking human characteristics and functioning more like a metaphor for God than as a person. Arthur has numerous roles throughout Geoffrey of Monmouth’s History of Briton, “Culhwch and Olwen,” and Malory’s works.
