All I could conclude is that his wife's cheating was inevitable and unstoppable, like the ocean, which I believe what the author was alluding to when she talked about the wave of technology being like trying to "stop the ocean" and is therefore impossible to stop just like it was impossible for Leopold to stop his wife from cheating.<br />Ian Janssen P.4Ian Janssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697986477845354910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384832010390166324.post-60562846013357469542011-09-13T07:04:37.634-07:002011-09-13T07:04:37.634-07:00"Bloom might still attempt to "hold Moll..."Bloom might still attempt to "hold Molly back," but to what end?

I believe the allusion that he is referring to is his problematic marriage. "Holding Molly back" is like "stopping water", both impossible to do for you can't control either.

Knowing Ulysses inside and out would supply an example of what the author is trying to express, but in no means does it explain the allusion itself. This allusion can be comprehended based on one's knowledge of the sea and it's massive force. When he suggests that we "stop the sea", this is just a suggestion to fight against the inevitable expansion of technology and the media. The sea is a force that no man, or group of men, can conquer. Therefore, this suggestion is impossible to achieve and the author uses it to make us contumacious against the expansion of technology and media.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245870223299219482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384832010390166324.post-59226814718525219352011-09-13T06:24:15.665-07:002011-09-13T06:24:15.665-07:00^^^^

Ulysses includes a series of encounters and incidents in Bloom's "contemporary odyssey" through Dublin in one day, June 16th 1904. The title alludes to Odysseus, hero of Homer's Odyssey. It consists of a series of parallels between characters and events in Homer's poem and Joyce's novel (Leopold Bloom compared to Odysseus)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384832010390166324.post-55316579755877539372011-09-12T23:21:45.986-07:002011-09-12T23:21:45.986-07:003) First, I typed in Ulysses' "stop the s...3) First, I typed in Ulysses' "stop the sea" into the google search engine. I then clicked on the 7th link down the list which was a google book for Ulysses'. I didn't read all of the text since that would have taken me a very long time, but the part I did read being where "stop the sea" was mentioned, I found difficult to fully comprehend due to the unusual syntax and diction. <br /><br /> However, I agree with what a lot of others said in that Bloom struggled with his wife's affair and trying to stop the affair was as difficult as trying to "stop the sea". And trying to stop the progression of technology is also as difficult as "stopping the sea". <br /><br /> Although I don't know for sure, I think that Burkdall chose this allusion to incorporate into his article because it simply came to mind and was relevant to his topic. <br /><br />Kayla McCallie<br />Period 2Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14205019658088104540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384832010390166324.post-76415390709492457972011-09-12T23:17:30.617-07:002011-09-12T23:17:30.617-07:00When Burkdall used a reference to Ulysses' &qu...When Burkdall used a reference to Ulysses' "stop the sea" he was implying that you cannot stop what is inevitable.

I managed to come across the fact that he did have a unfaithful wife in his life. I believe that, "stop the sea" was meant for the allusion that Molly, is the sea that he cannot control. Almost as if, he's trying to fix something that is completely uncontainable for anybody to handle on their own. Comparing this to what we were reading, I think that to stop the technology advancements is simply out of everyone's hands.<br /><br />Adriana Zamudio<br />period 4Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384832010390166324.post-11654916616772733152011-09-12T23:13:27.792-07:002011-09-12T23:13:27.792-07:00Kari Griego

If anything, Burdkall could be referencing the relationship between Leopold Bloom, an Everyman, and the task he took to. In context, the phrase was used to show that Bloom's problem (the will of an unfaithful wife) had a force that was too powerful for him to control. The same goes for the struggle between the reading community (analogous to Bloom) and "the media" (analogous to Molly, in context). Modern media has become a strong, omnipresent force that pushes itself onto the public. The reading community, however large it may actually be, stands small in comparison to the media giant. Therefore, the reading community's attempt to battle against the power of the media and technology would be similar to Bloom's attempt to prevent Molly's infidelity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384832010390166324.post-12593517329010785002011-09-12T22:59:56.250-07:002011-09-12T22:59:56.250-07:00After reading through several sources, I have come...After reading through several sources, I have come to the conclusion that he is saying that we cannot avoid the rapid development of technology.

Bloom came to the conclusion that it was inevitable that his wife was going to have an affair, and Burkdal came to the conclusion a wave of multimedia was inevitable. I think Burkdal uses this allusion because it was what came to his mind when he was righting, and he thought it was a good fit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384832010390166324.post-48527601207610324132011-09-12T22:21:26.390-07:002011-09-12T22:21:26.390-07:003.

The allusion to Ulysses represents how both Leopold and Molly both have sexual immorality and that trying to change or do anything about it seems impossible. Both Leopold and Molly want things to work out but their natures just get the better of them.

I found an article online (http://classiclit.about.com/od/bannedliteratur1/a/aa_ulysses.htm) that explains how New York attempted to ban Ulysses, even going as far as burning the books. I think Burkdall may have used this allusion because banning such a significant piece of literature is like "stop[ping] the sea". <br /><br />P.S. While reading another article (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/13/magazine/the-fading-world-of-leopold-bloom.html) I remembered that I went on a Literary Pub Crawl during my time in Dublin, where James Joyce wrote Ulysses. I also went to two of his favorite pubs, Davy Byrnes's Pub and The Duke. No wonder Joyce was so inspired.
