Analysis of an Argument

The speaker is arguing to a woman about how much he would like to admire her, and ultimately become sexually intimate with her if there were “time.” Based on his conviction, time is running out, since time cannot be stopped and so the speaker and woman will miss out on the opportunity to enjoy each other’s physical body and pleasures. He is also finding ways to basically make her see why she should have sex with him because it will allow time to stop (so-to-speak).

Is the argument valid?

The advertisement chosen is a movie poster for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The advertisement has come under a lot of scrutiny for the obvious photoshopping it has undergone. The ad depicts Scarlet Johansson, clad in her usual Black Widow garb, carrying pistols, and looking as though she’s just taking down a fleet of enemy forces all by herself. The brilliant skyline behind her is obviously manipulated but it is her that attracts the most attention. Her skin is flawless. Her hair is a strangely brilliant color of red, or maybe orange. The color of her eyes is almost inhuman, as is ...

They are as follows: in “ Valediction: Forbidding Mourning,” Donne compared the separation of lovers as departing from each other and stay away, whereas in “To His Coy Mistress,” Andrew Marvell compares the separation of lovers to death. In John Donne’s “A Valediction Forbidding Mourning,” a man is bidding farewell to his ladylove as he prepares to leave. The man’s profound love for his ladylove is apparent in the poem that ...

Like Captain America, The Flash epitomizes heroic qualities that go beyond American values in his ability to unite divided peoples under a common cause. Captain America, while literally representing fundamental American values, can also be said to represent global values.

In the movie, Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox, it shows a hypothetical world that needs uniting, more extreme than what the United States needs, but it does not make the concept less real. Heroes in the era are divided, much like ...

Contrasting Treatment of Time The two poems, “Piano” by D.H.Lawrence and “To my Coy Mistress” by Andrew Marvell may appear to depict the flow of time, but while the first one turns the spotlight on the power of the past, the second one stresses on the importance of the present. It is also remarkable how each of the two poets uses language in his own style to produce a very distinct effect, making the poems dissimilar in many ways. Both the poets have drawn vivid portraits with words. A song takes Lawrence back to his past, and makes ...

Salvador Dali painted The Persistence of Memory in 1931, and today it is regarded among the 20th century’s most acclaimed and remembered paintings. This painting served as a means of introducing Surrealism in conventional America. The reason this painting has always been increasingly appealing, and has both encouraged and perplexed analysis and explanation is because Dali has effectively combined the dreamlike and the everyday, the illogical and symbolic, technology and nature. Even the hardness and softness in the painting create confusion. However, according to the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), these “baffling” qualities of the painting, especially the watches, ...

Both The Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man are motion pictures telling the origin story of the journey by Peter Parker to become one of the greatest superheroes in the world.

In “The Death of the Author,” structuralist thinker Roland Barthes suggested the notion of the author as a distinct identity in the creation and interpretation of a text was a thing of the past. Instead, he preferred the use of the word “scriptor” to refer to the person writing or typing a work for the first time. The ideas in the scriptor's mind would have to travel through his or her semiotic filters to make it to the paper – those filters take the ideas and shape them – for ...

Although these two poems share certain superficial similarities, they are very different in method, tone, subject matter and overall effect. Both poems deal with a relationship between a man and a woman; in both poems the speaker is a man; and in both poems the woman who is addressed in “To His Coy Mistress” and the woman who is spoken about in “My Last Duchess” are not given a voice at all. Indeed, from a feminist perspective the titles of both poems – because they use the possessive adjective “my” - could ...

The main theme of ‘To His Coy Mistress’ by Andrew Marvell is known by the Latin phrase ‘Carpe diem.’ This means ‘Seize the day’; in other words, live life to the full now, because life is short and tomorrow we may be dead. It was a very common theme for poets to write about in the 16th and 17th centuries, perhaps because life and death were more unpredictable, life expectancy was shorter and medical knowledge very primitive. Another notable feature of this poem is its syllogistic structure: it is a carefully constructed argument. The first verse paragraph presents one possible scenario; ...
