It is no ordinary tiger that Markov stole the meat from, but a giant male tiger, extremely defensive of his territory and in his prime.

An important fact that has been highlighted in Yann Martel Life of Pi is that both fiction and religion seem to loathe disbelief. When he claims that he has a story “that will make you believe in God” (Martel) he not only assumes that many of his readers do not believe in God, his story actually depends on that disbelief. Martel more explicitly analogizes this disbelief of the readers when he portrays the two Japanese interviewers being skeptical about the fact that Pi survived living in a lifeboat for 227 days with a tiger. The novel suspends disbelief by presenting the dramatic ...

` Reflection on Blake's “The Tiger” and “The Lamb” from Songs of Innocence and Experience (1794) provides a journey into two different worlds. “The Tiger,” creates a mood engaging the reader so he/she has a “knowing” – a premonition of a darker side existing in life. Like, "The Tiger", the reader or listener realizes “The Lamb” evokes an innate "knowing". While "The Tiger" brings a darker side of life, the same understanding of the complexities of life arises with the sense of innocence, virtuousness, and wonder about life comes through in "The Lamb". Comparing Blake’s poems “The Tiger” and “The Lamb” provides an academic investigation of ...

Analysis of William Blake’s The Tyger

William Blake wrote this wonderful lyric poem called The Tyger in 1794. The poem has six quatrains of two couplets each. In this poem the poet addresses the tiger and is in complete awe of the way it must have been created by the Creator. The use of anaphora (repetition of the question what?) brings out the poet’s awe and bewilderment at the tiger’s creation more effectively, which is the central theme of the poem. He just can’t imagine how the blacksmith or Creator could create the tiger’s ‘fearful symmetry’ (l.4).
Blake has vividly ...

Reading Blake’s selections “The Tiger” and “The Lamb” from Songs of Innocence and Experience (1794) takes the reader or listener from one world into another. In “The Tiger,” there is a mood of “knowing” - that something of a darker nature of life exists and it comes through the words. Reading “The Lamb” on the other hand, evokes a sense of innocence and wonder with virtuous undertones. Comparing and contrasting Blake’s poems “The Tiger” and “The Lamb” is therefore an exercise in the exploration of the limitations and the value of two entirely different world perspectives from one person’s ...

In contemporary times, films with local Asian themes have become highly popular in Western media formats, especially those produced in Hollywood. A crucial factor to think about when it comes to the popularity of local Asian themes is the constant lookout of Hollywood producers for new themes that they deem as “exotic” or outside the typical Western contexts they have produced for so long a time already. Such is understood within the idea that Western media is much more popular compared to East Asian media, mainly because of the fact that English has ...

Given the background of the story “The Lady or the Tiger?” by Frank Stockton, one can easily tell that the princess-barbarian is in quite an ethical dilemma. If she points to the right door – where a lady waits to be married to her lover – she loses. Of course, if she points to the wrong one – where a ferocious tiger awaits the unsuspecting youth – she still loses. If you put yourself in her position, it would be truly difficult to choose her barbaric nature over love and that the author points out. Still, if the young man she loves marries ...

Over the centuries human civilization has tended to have an exploitative relationship with nature: we plunder the earth for old, precious stone and minerals; we consume grain and fruit, nuts and berries; we kill wildlife – sometimes for food but also for pleasure. Humankind has also meddled in nature – genetically-modified crops are simply the latest example, since before them skilled horticulturalists have for centuries produced hybrid plants for practical or aesthetic purposes. The popularity of zoos and wildlife parks demonstrates our fascination with the other species that inhabit our world. Poets have ...

Have you ever heard that a monkey brain is edible? I guess according to current trends everything is almost edible; dogs, cats, tigers. Name all of them.

Imagine some people consume monkey brains and they even have descriptions for the delicacy cooked, raw, and flash fried while others still eat it as a snack in the mid-morning. It is such an expensive food. I wonder where these monkeys are sourced from and how they ...

Evidence from the past weeks shows that health information systems have the ability to improve patient outcomes in terms of efficiency, access, quality, and safety.

Looking into our pasts is something that is not easy at times – we tend to either romanticize or hide from it, depending on how we feel. Particularly in times of mourning or regret, the past can be something we try to bury or avoid, wanting to make sure we do not relive that same pain. This universal and uniquely human theme is present in the books Beloved, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and Life of Pi. In all of these works, the main characters attempt to reconcile who they are with what they remember of the past – from Pi’ ...
