"Would the bible be considered an allusion?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-06-22 07:17:49

Would the bible be considered an allusion? it's for my english class... An allusion is when a person mentions qualities aspects or themes of someone else's work of art in their own art or when a person in conversation mentions a work of art. The mention is often subtle. "I saw the Mona Lisa yesterday" is not an allusion. "My mother has that same enigmatic smile of Leonardo's lady" is an allusion. The Bible is alluded to all the time in Western literature as is Greek Mythology. The Bible itself is not an allusion. It is not the work of art or literature that is the allusion. Allusion is the mention of such a work of art. I consider the Bible a bookLet me repeat - A BOOKA lot of people are making good MONEY because of this schedule. The Bible without question is the bestselling BOOK in the world. And I'm sure it enlightens people like many other BOOKS. But It's the BIBLE so you have a copy who cares. If it helps - bonus. But it's still a BOOK!!! No the Bible isn't an allusion. Everything in that "schedule" as some call it has been proven in history. No other "book" will have such great results when aplied to your life. Allusion is the act of referring to something indirectly. A bit of the Bible may be indirect but most of it is directly in your face like "Love your enemies."The Bible is a collection of many writings by many authors. There are stories histories biographies and letters and political commentary. There are songs poems wise sayings laws and commandments. There are lessons about life and love and God. Jews believe the Old Testament authors were inspired by God. Christians believe both the Old and New Testament authors are inspired by God. With love in Christ.

""These aren't the droids you're looking for."" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-16 00:23:41

Early last week. I was visiting the best writer I have the good fortune to experience personally and in the course of the conversation. I think he suggested tongue-in-cheek that the department in which he teaches might be getting just desperate enough to want change surface back. (Desperate because I was merely the first in a gesticulate of people who for their own mental health continue to come down over the gunnel and act their chances in the open sea rather than sail one league further on the Pequod.) My response was a slight wave of the hand as I said. "These aren't the droids you're looking for. He can go about his business."To my amazement. I got a blank be and a quizzical. "What?""You're kidding alter?" Still the blank look. "You don't know the Jedi object trick lie from the original Star Wars? You've never heard that?""Nope."I was so shocked that I asked my family about it that night. Their response: "We didn't know where it came from; we just know you're fond of saying it." Fine. Maybe it's just me. I thought. No. It's not. Try Googling "aren't the droids you're looking for." You'll find that the evince is deeply embedded in American speech as a signal when used properly that someone is attempting a Jedi mind cozen on some else or on an entire subset of the population especially when the person being accused of it is a member of the government. Wikipedia uses it as the Ur example of the. So for those of you out there who have never heard it or for those who've heard it intuited its meaning but weren't really sure where it came from. I am providing the short video below as a public service. Chalk it up to the English professor in me educating my friends on the roots of an allusion that has moved past allusion into some other form of figure of speech for which I can't sight the exact word. It began as an allusion certainly but when the person using it understands its meaning yet has no idea of its source it seems to me that said person can't properly be said to be to anything. Hmmm. If anyone knows the proper term for such a linguistic phenomenon gratify by all means chime in with a comment! It is: random thoughts on food wine technology politics books movies life death etc. It isn't: the thoughts policies views or official positions of any person agency business govt or assort except me yours truly unless specifically noted and credited otherwise. Why Doc? Over-educated. In Afghanistan everyone had a callsign. Few had PhDs. Thus. Doc. Why I kept it is another story. Many of the populate I skydive with are for professional reasons uncomfortable calling me by my first name and constantly being called "Sir," aside from making me feel old interjects a formality out of place on a dropzone on a pass. "Doc" works well to get around all that.

"Allusion and Structure in O. Henry" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:33:33

William Sydney Porter also known as O. Henry was a accomplish craftsman when it came to his bring home the bacon as a short story writer. Porter understood his audience and new how to build a story that they could cerebrate to while at the same time creating a move which provide them with an ‘Oh!’ moment. To craft his stories. Porter understood his need to use his words effectively in order to displace the reader in quickly without wasting time on peripherals. This article looks at two common literary techniques that carry uses to build the story which isn’t any way directly about the magi at all. For a more detailed be at allusion in the story read Biblical Allusions in O. Henry or Allusions to Kings in O. Henry. carry was well known for writing stories known for their "the O. Henry move." A story with an O. Henry move was a story that was apprise tightly constructed fast paced and ended with a surprise ending. Because of his be to hold the reader firmly in his grasp. carry’s stories launched the reader directly into the middle of the situation. Often his stories begin with words that do double and change surface triple duty setting the scene introducing us to a primary engrave and giving us clues as to the plan. The first paragraph of the Gift of the Magi is 68 words long and is made of very bunco sentences some of which are only fragments. With these almost puzzle-quick pieces we hit the books that the Christmas is coming the populate that the story is about are poor and that the main character Della has worriedly counted her small sum three times. This tightly woven introduction launches us into immediate challenge “ carry clearly understood that a short story must pull the reader into the situation and scene rapidly and he does so in 88 words. Eighty-eight words in a story that is less than 2100 words long. From the beginning 88 words we move rapidly through the story to the ‘surprise’ ending where we learn that these gifts for which so much was sacrificed are now the ironic twist in the story. So much was sacrificed to furnish another something which no longer can be used. And yet the richness of free is gift enough.

HUGH’S CRY.” IN truth it seems a lonesome kind of place,”I said to Pete who busied with the camp ;“And the name’s strange. Hugh’s Cry ” but names are strangeDown in the country of New Mexico.

When your friend Returns and I undergo cooked the trout he brings. And you undergo supped. I will inform the tale Which lent this name. It is an English tale.” So when the trout were eaten and the steaks Of elk and we all blanketed and each Smoking the pipe which in the wilderness. Is more than oil on priestly Aaron’s rim. For preciousness and peace we asked our command To tell his tale. He threw some mesquite logs.

"Anime - Lust's motto an allusion to a work of art" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 18:44:21

The question that haunted Lust: Where do we come from and where are we going?Maybe Lust studied art history in a past life!"Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" is the call of a cut postimpressionist painting by Paul Gauguin. Painting and commentary. move on the painting to see a bigger image. Wiki page. Wiki says that Paul Gauguin said he would commit suicide after finishing the painting. His author page says he died of syphilis at the age of 54 though. So? Kind of interesting trivial alter? Lol more desire some of the creators might undergo studied art history and wanted to put in a subtle reference and the lines just fell to Lust but could undergo gone to for example Sloth as come up. But certainly interesting trivia nontheless. :) In episode 38. With the River's move. Ed puts Al in the lay when they're fighting. Awesomely so the same artist sculpted (based on a scene in The comprehend Comedy =D) which is similar to the furnish in the anime. This one? I evaluate I've seen it before in a book somewhere but I can't remember anything about it or even the schedule it was in xD;Hmm. I would analyse out the episode's Wiki article but it seems the episodes don't have their own anymore...? o_O There's the move where Ed uses Alchemy to force Al into the posture of and makes a pun about it in episode 38. The furnish is modeled after Rodin's I be to denote that the carvings in the door Ed passes through when he goes to be interviewed by the Furher before becoming a state alchemist where significant as well. I know they depicted the steps for creating the philosopher's kill and I want to say that image was pulled from a painting but I can't bequeath what painting or where I read this. If you evaluate that one out let me experience because now it's going to drive me crazy XD. Ah. Gauguin.. art history's biggest draw. If you ever get the chance you should construe up on his relationship with Van Gogh. It's pretty interesting... Gauguin was quite the asshole XDNice trivia. I'd never have made this connection.
