In everyday lives, we are generally impressed by eloquent speakers. Whether it be on the television, in a classroom or in a public lecture, the speaker can sweep us off his/her feet by using his/her abilities to communicate well. Sometimes, some speakers create an enrapturing impression on the audience merely by their first two words: good morning. As they start to speak further, the audience is already so captivated by the voice and style that it finds absolutely no difficulty in following the flow of the speaker. Unfortunately, most of us believe that public speaking is a talent that ...

Analysis of “In Memoriam, A.H.H.”

Question 1
Alfred, Lord Tennyson was one of the premier poets writing during the Victorian period; his subjects and style embody that period of literature. “In Memoriam, A.H.H.” is an elegy in which he mourns the passing of Arthur Hallam, one of his best friends. Section LV is a particularly rich part of the poem when it comes to discussing the ways in which faith, loss and immortality all interact with the reader. At first, it seems like there are two very different sorts of verse within the same section – one that has to do with faith and the ...

Classic English Literature

In drawing comparison between Shakespeare’s Sonnets 130 and 148, it is quite clear that Shakespeare uses the topic of vision (descriptions), and emotion (expressions) to highlight his feelings for his mistress. He has, by using themes such as love, beauty, emotion, and uncertainty, been able to draw the subconscious mind of his readers to relive what he himself must have experienced. Using contradictory and contrasting unconventional styles, Shakespeare was able to set off a precedence of intuitive thinking in his readers’ minds. When juxtaposed with each other, it looks like Sonnet 130 is the predecessor to Sonnet 148, for ...

Organization Theories – Modernist and Post-Modernist Approaches

Abstract
Organizational structure determines allocation of resources, strategies and planning. The paper focuses on two theories – modernist and postmodernist theories (Aleazurra, 2016; Clegg et al 1999; Casey, 2002). The article ‘A critical analysis of media discourse on information technology: preliminary results of a proposed method for critical discourse analysis’ by Cukier et al (2009) talks of critical discourse analysis where the post modernist idea of questioning the validity of claims has been explained by analyzing a media discourse on a ICT project applied in university classrooms. The second article selected for the study is ‘The relationship between information and ...

One of the often heard advices people attempt to adhere to is seizing every moment in life and living the life to the fullest. From time to time people give unwanted advices, introducing the rules of life and reality. Are there really set rules that will guarantee a happy and successful life? Should people follow rules and concoct dreamy ideas about love, life, and relationships? Many are so caught up with life’s events and try to capture the meaning by encouraging people to embrace the now and plan about the future. Movies have a way of describing life in a very ...

Plato’s primary argument for Socrates to defend himself against accusations of disrespect of the gods, as well as Athenian youth corruption, is that Socrates’ critics are merely scared of him because they do not truly comprehend what he is arguing. The lack of substantive criticism of his work is the chief means by which Socrates seeks to discredit his own opponents. Socrates’ implementation of this defense is quite strong, as his own ability to intellectualize his material makes his opponents look foolish. However, there are still some missteps that prevent it from being a perfect defense, such as the overbearing ...

Importance of communication and current state:

Communication is of supreme importance in us humans. Almost nothing would work if we weren’t able to communicate with each other. Each man, then, truly would live like an island, living in solitude and aloof of anyone else’s reality. For a concept that is so imperative to our social life, it is hardly ever acknowledged and frequently abused. Before the technology boom, communication was always face to face, where people could get a real time experience of our gestures, body language and expressions. But in today’s day and age, most of our communication is either written or distributed ...

In 2011, Charles Wheelan returned to his alma mater at Dartmouth College to deliver the commencement speech. In his opening remarks, he promised the group of newly minted graduates that his would not be the typical speech, and went on to offer what he called “six things no commencement speaker has ever said.” His main point was that he wished that his six points had been given at his own commencement, back in 1988.
In my opinion, I believe that Wheelan's speech is insightful because it brings out the ultimate message about happiness which allows us to make ...

Anne Bradstreet and Emily Dickinson are certainly among the first group of women poets to emerge in America. Before their emergence, poetry was a male-dominated affair attracting little attention from women. As a result, it is not a mystery that both poets (Bradstreet and Dickinson) share some striking resemblance in the themes that they tackle, and incorporate heavy symbolism in their poems. However, each poet conveys her experiences within her historical context. For example, Anne Bradstreet inclines her poems towards puritanism while Emily Dickinson inclines her poems towards romanticism. Although Anne Bradstreet and Emily Dickinson share similar views on the role of ...

Exchange among Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George Eliot, and Mary Wollstonecraft

GE: The role of the writer in our time is much different than it will be in the future, I think. As the wheels of industry churn faster and faster, they will produce more and more distractions from the realities of society, and those in power will keep the public from noticing the stratagems that they use to hold onto that power, because of the sheer number of distractions available.
EB: Don’t you think that what we put together has a spiritual component to it? After all, while writing does allow the expression of the noble and the ...

By humbling himself before his audience, comparing the plight of slavery to the British rule they had only recently escaped, and placing a moral imperative on the ending of slavery, Douglass makes an effective and strong appeal for his cause on July 5, 1852.

Douglass' opening and closing strategies involve qualifying himself personally as an orator - he humbles himself ...
