Sarah Hock Professor Diller IDH 3931 26 September 2013 Resume #5 In this portion of the text, Lancelot rescues Sir Gawain and his companions from the Dolorous Prison and admits King Arthur and Queen Guinevere to the Dolorous Guard Castle. However, because Lord Brandin, the previous owner of the Dolorous Guard Castle, keeps escaping from Lancelot, the people within the castle have not yet been freed. Lancelot leaves the castle and reunites with his squires, frees a handsome knight who also serves Queen Guinevere and successfully defeats the first knight who claimed to have loved the man who wounded the wounded knight more than the wounded knight himself.

Sarah Hock Professor Diller IDH 3931 12 September 2013 Resume #3 In this portion of the text, Lancelot is left at King Arthur?s court by his foster mother, the lady of the lake, who leaves with him a special ring with the power to detect enchantments. He meets Queen Guinevere and other members of Arthur?s court, and is knighted in his own special white clothing. However, when Arthur knights Lancelot, he forgets to buckle on his sword, introducing a conflict that comes into play later in the passage. After his knighting, Lancelot accepts the challenge to assist the wounded knight, and also the duty of representing the Lady of Nahaut in combat. En route to Nahaut, Lancelot frees two damsels in distress, and is sent his sword from Queen Guinevere, thereby making him her knight.
Transcendentalism

Wiki Transcendentalism Transcendentalism is a religious and philosophical movement that developed during the late 1820s and '30s[1] in the Eastern region of the United States as a protest against the general state of spirituality and, in particular, the state of intellectualism at Harvard University and the doctrine of the Unitarian church as taught at Harvard Divinity School. Among the transcendentalists' core beliefs was the inherent goodness of both people and nature. They believe that society and its institutions?particularly organized religion and political parties?ultimately corrupt the purity of the individual. They have faith that people are at their best when truly "self-reliant" and independent. It is only from such real individuals
American Romanticism

Wiki Romanticism (also the Romantic era or the Romantic period) was an artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800 to 1850. Partly a reaction to the Industrial Revolution,[1] it was also a revolt against the aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment and a reaction against the scientific rationalization of nature.[2] It was embodied most strongly in the visual arts, music, and literature, but had a major impact on historiography,[3] education[4] and the natural sciences.[5] Its effect on politics was considerable and complex; while for much of the peak Romantic period it was associated with

Analysis of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Hollow of the Three Hills"
Subject:
Tags:
The Hollow of the Three Hills In Nathaniel Hawthorne?s The Hollow of the Three Hills, a young woman seeks the help of an old witch to learn what has happened to her parents, husband and child whom she abandoned to commit sin through the use of the witch?s supernatural abilities. Hawthorne uses dark descriptive imagery to draw in his audience into the ambiguous and mysterious setting that characterizes this Gothic fairytale. From the get-go, Hawthorne clearly depicts the darkness, mystery, and evil of the world. The ambiguous diction of the first paragraph sets the eerie atmosphere of the story. The story takes place ?in those strange old times? at an ?appointed hour and place.? This lack of specificity leaves more to the imagination of the reader.

Analysis of Virginia Woolf's "Lady in the Looking Glass: A Reflection"
Subject:
Tags:
The Lady in the Looking-Glass: A Reflection Virginia Woolf?s ?The Lady in the Looking-Glass: A Reflection,? explores the issue of selfhood and self-realization. Woolf writes from the point-of-view of an anonymous narrator who attempts to learn more about a rich spinster, Isabella Tyson, by exploring facts and making figurative comparisons and speculative comments. Yet none of them lead the narrator to the real truth about Isabella. By implementing numerous metaphors, such as a looking glass to explore the inner and outer self of Isabella, Woolf explores how truth is portrayed, warning readers not to seek to know so much.
Analysis of Wilfred Owen's "Anthem for Doomed Youth"
Subject:
Tags:
Wilfred Owen?s ?Anthem for Doomed Youth? explores the theme of the pity of war. Throughout the sonnet, the narrator wonders what kind of service there could be for those that die in battle, only to come to the conclusion that there is no funeral for those that are herded into war. Owen takes the reader through the battle-front and then the home-front, contrasting the chaotic battlefield of the octave (ridden with cacophonous sounds and breaks in the meter) with the calmer, but more solemn sestet which shows the effect of the soldiers? deaths on their loved ones ? suggesting that this poem is much less an ?anthem? than anything else.
