How does david Wilson get his nickname "puddn'head"?

English
1 answer:
kumpel [21]3 years ago
6 0
He earns his nickname (and dooms his future law practice) from a remark he makes shortly after arriving in the town. Hearing a dog barking and yelping, he comments that he wishes he owned half of the dog. When asked why he desired this, he replies that he would kill his half. This remark struck the townspeople as completely moronic - if Wilson killed half of the dog, surely the other half would expire as well. Thus, if he is going to kill the entire dog, why only wish for half? The town was convinced that Wilson was a fool, and from that day forward he was stuck with the nickname "Pudd'nhead."

denis-greek [22]

The essay required in this prompt is called an analytical essay. See a sample of same below.

<h3>What is the essay that analyzes how Tennyson uses Homer’s The Odyssey as a source for his depiction of the gods in The Lotos-Eaters?</h3>

It is clear to see that Tennyson uses Homer’s The Odyssey as a source for his depiction of the gods in The Lotos-Eaters.

In the referenced text, we see that Odysseus' sailors are made an emergency landing in an unfamiliar nation after a strong wind sweeps them past the island of Cythera on their way home following the destruction of Troy.

It is easy to see that there is a parallel between the use of winds by the gods to punish the sailors and that which occurred in the Odyssey.
