I do not think his ambition is nobel because it is more selfish than anything else. It could benefit other people, but that is not why he is on this journey.

He is quickly writing, and because of this the entire letter feels rushed. A second mood would be happiness. He is enjoying the voyage, and is in good spirits.

I think he should decide what truly matters to him, family and friendship, and sacrifice his dream to protect it. He would be happier this way. Tue, 25 Oct 2016 14:55:08 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602116 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602116 A botherly relationship between two guys is a beautiful thing to behold.

In a way he is perfect for you Robert! This man Robert is describing has the Byronic trait of doing something that results in solitude. The reason this Byronic figure is considered nobel is because he sacrificed his personal feelings and happiness for the girl he loved. Tue, 25 Oct 2016 15:00:43 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602097 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602097 Capacious means roomy or having a lot of space in something.

Tue, 25 Oct 2016 14:29:46 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602091 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602091 Robert longs for a friend, someone to share his experiences with who will demolish his loneliness. At this point he has been alone for a long time, which is a Byronic trait, but he has done nothing sinister and he is not internally struggling with something from his past. He is simply lonely and in need of companionship. I totally understand where he is coming from. This is not a Byronic trait. The word endeavour means to make an earnest effort to achieve a goal over time. Robert is using it to describe the effort his supposed friend will have to make to get him back on track. Tue, 25 Oct 2016 14:37:25 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602071 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602071 Walton's attitude is optimistic yet sad. He is looking forward to the journey, but it saddens him that he might not see his sister again. He also understands how hard it is going to be to survive the extreem weather. These things worry him, but in the end he is excited and looking forward to his adventure. This suggests that he is willing to endure much in order to chase his dreams. Tue, 25 Oct 2016 14:05:47 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602070 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602070 Robert Walton is a man who dreamt of sailing the seas and discovering new places when he was a kid. He also loved to read and write, but when writing did not give him the glory he seemed he began to sail away chasing his childhood dream. Tue, 25 Oct 2016 14:01:27 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602069 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602069 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 13:58:34 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602066 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602066 In the beginning of an adventure one cannot predict the outcome of their journey. It is a scary place, and it is hard to make good decisions because you can't see where you are going. This is how Frankenstein ruined his life, and it is bazar to look back and see for the first time how foolish you were when everything started. Tue, 25 Oct 2016 13:53:40 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602065 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62808?scroll_to=602065 In searching to fulfill his dream he is sacrificing being with his beloved sister, his health, and his wellbeing. But in the end is this sacrifice worth it? He has gone on many voyages, but he does not seem satisfied. Why will this journey fulfill him? In my opinion after his journey is over he will realize the emotional highs of discovery were not worth the sacrifices he had to make to aquire them.

So why didn't he show his agitation at the begining?

The writer has an unsatisfied curiosity, and by going where others dare not to go, he hopes to quench this curiosity.

This perfectly summarizes the poem. Marlowe is asking the nymph to live with him, and he described all that entails. He is also asking her to be his love. He is wooing her with tempting pleasures, all for one purpose, to persuade her to live with him and be his love.

It is wrong to duplicate your work and use it for more than one assignment. Let's say someone had writen a wonderful essay last year for English class. This year the student is going to a different school, and finds the same essay would be perfect for the current assignment. If this student uses the essay again, he or she would be self plagiarizing. One way to avoid plagiarism is to paraphrase. When doing so always make sure to restate the main ideas in different words, and to never quote over two words one after the other in anything without using quotation marks. Another way to avoid plagiarism is to always cite yourself. If you want to quote something you wrote, then that is okay as long as you cite yourself. Wed, 31 Aug 2016 17:56:15 -0400
