Chris Kyle. American hero or cold blooded killer? I first heard about Chris Kyle through my dad. My dad found it important to tell me about Chris Kyle because he didn't let anyone or anything limit him.

Into Thin Air, by Jon Krakauer, as well as Burton Raffel’s Beowulf, contain such monsters that are large impediments to the hero’s quest. Also the expeditions or quests are affected in terms of intimidation by the monsters who are always overwhelming at first to the pessimistic eye such as how the Israelites viewed Goliath, the Philistine, when David went to fight him. A monster’s thoughts, origins, and words are often used to construct the description of monstrosity in literature and are very critical.
Levitt and Dubner classify Freakonomics as a book having “no such unifying theme” (14), but all the unique topics discussed throughout the text connect back together in order to show the hidden side of human nature. The argument that the wide variety of topics and their abstract descriptions all link together draws the attention of a large audience and connects to issues that society is currently facing or has recently confronted. Freakonomics is organized as an argumentative piece that asserts that “commerce without morality,” or the conducting of business without a sense of what is right or wrong, is triggered by human actions that are led by incentives and causes changes in the economy. Levitt and Dubner do not explicitly state their

Recall that this encircling Leviathan is said to be the "soul of all things" and the "soul that travels through all things" being the world soul. Leviathan is basically the Ouroboros, the snake swallowing its own tail, which is a common image that represents the limit between the cosmos and eternity, where the beginning meets the end, and the end meets the beginning. The image is popularized by an early female alchemist, Cleopatra, the author of the "Chrysopeia" or "Gold-Making," (obvious references to an early version of the quest for the Philosopher's Stone) and follower

It could actually be monster on the inside. In the story Beowulf, Beowulf was not an monster on the outside nor the inside.

But after he and Grendel got in a fight he defeated Grendel and what was inside Grendel was treasure.

The whale is white and for Ishmael, whiteness can represent both good and evil, which appalls him because there is no clear answer to what white ultimately means. Ishmael states how many cultures around the world associates whiteness as a sign of nobility, royalty or leadership, but at the same time, whiteness holds this other dimension that links to the spiritual world.
