The Use of Body Metaphors in Contemporary Text
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the use of body metaphors in contemporary text. Metaphors within contemporary text are used to emphasize particular events, situations, emotions or physical states and are considered by some that today “one cannot think without metaphors”. The use of body metaphors within text is easy to grasp for all readers who can relate more so to images related to the body that with objects to which they have little association. There are two different types of body metaphors used most frequently in text and conversations. Firstly, within text, body parts can be used to emphasize a particular function of an object in relation to its whole. This is common in political functions such as in instances of “head of state”, “body of the assembly”, “arms of the network” and “military footmen”; all which emphasize the function of that person, place or object within the system as a whole. Another type of body metaphor is in reference to the feelings within a body itself such as when an individual describes himself as being “torn in two”, “up against a wall”, or “hot-blooded” in which individuals may use metaphors to explain a state or condition and are often considered as “images of speech” and in the case of psychiatric counseling the “metaphor captures their feelings and beliefs about themselves”.

The Vedic Hymn of Creation
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page analysis of the Vedic Hymn of Creation. The author, using the information found in the book of Genesis as a
contrast, contends that from a Western perspective at least the Hymn tells us nothing about the creation other than telling us that there was one.
It provides nothing regarding the specifics of that creation or really even of its order. Indeed, we are led to believe that even "the One" and
"the Observer" came at some point after the creation of the cosmos. From a Western perspective, therefore, we can not place much value in the
Vedic Hymn. Never-the-less, we must remind ourselves that just because we do not understand what the Hymn is telling us does not necessarily
equate to the fact that no information is being provided. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
