Conversational language and imagery are also noticeable throughout, allowing ...

Xavier Dolan’s “Laurence Anyways” Film Review

An extremely ambitious project from a very young director, Xavier Dolan, the romantic drama “Laurence Anyways” follows the love story between Fred (Suzanne Clement) and Laurence (Melvin Poupad). Ironically, although they both have masculine names, Fred and Laurence are women. A transgender who had lived as a man, Laurence comes out with the revelation that he has always felt as a woman inside, and continuing his fake male life would kill him. The filmmaker situates this unique love story in the 1990s, a time when transsexuality was still considered an illness, and ...

For many years, various American sports teams have been using the images of Native Americans as their nicknames, mascots, and logos. It has become the point of issue, as one people think that the use of Native American imagery is the sign of pride and honor, while others argue with them and state that it is nothing more than racism. The mascot controversy of the Florida State University has bigger scales but generally does not differ from the similar issues across the country.
The main decision issues that appear in the case of the mascot controversy include the following ...

George Herbert (1593-1633) adopted the Metaphysical style of poetry from Donne but in a simpler manner. His famous poem “Death” is an example of the poetry that uses rhetorical forms of writing like a paradox, hyperbole, and conceits. The poem constitutes two parts that have a contradicting view of death. The First part presents death as a fearsome being through the use of hideous expressions and imagery. The second part presents death as a friend and a passage to a better life. The last three stanzas give hope to Christians through the works of Jesus Christ. Through Christ’s ...

Discussion of “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to hear a poem before reading it? In his poem “Introduction to Poetry”, Billy Collins suggests the reader presses an “ear against its hive” regarding poetry. This is so true in the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. Besides the beautiful, simplistic imagery conveyed in the poem, Robert Frost urges the reader, to consider a risk versus reward approach to life, where the greater rewards come from the greater risks.
Frost sets a scene for the reader, a fairly common experience, walking a path through an autumnal wood. “Two roads diverged in ...

Ever since the artists and publishers of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris were assassinated by the Islamic Extremists, France has been on a maximum security threat level.

It is essential to know as to who draws those boundaries and how those boundaries get drawn (Charlie Hebdo attack ...

And The

Collective Unconscious
Tarot Imagery and the Collective Unconscious is a presentation about tarot card reading and its relation to the unconscious world of the human mind. Tarot card reading and tarot imagery have long been used in several major religions. It has been proposed earlier that human beings are born with an innate mental structure with mythological imagery. This is known as the Collective Unconscious. Several researches have been performed on such topics but the results could not be represented empirically. Jung, a renowned psychologist and researcher, analyzed in different ways to find the key to the Collective Unconscious. ...

The use of advertisements by companies helps in communicating a certain message about their product. The advert has to be spot on if it seeks to capture the attention of a person. Hence, most adverts feature attractive messages, images, slogans or promotions ideal for the particular product. The fashion and beauty industry focuses on using young, slender and beautiful models to conveying their message. However, it might not please the multitude that does not fit the displayed model, and it brings out the issue of stereotypes in women. Unilever saw the loophole in such imagery and thought of a ...

In Kedar’s sculptural analysis of the early Romanesque corbels, he focused on the small wall reliefs depicting intense human emotions which he claimed that art historians often neglected due to their insignificant roles and monstrous appearance. As a result, their meanings remained secluded from society for many centuries. The corbels jutting from the walls of Romanesque French churches illustrate not only the social caste of marginalized members of the medieval society but also their grotesque and frank style was a silent protest from the neat religious iconography of the church. The visual justification of the author’s argument ...

In this poem, the first-person narrator tells of a fish that he has caught in his “rented boat,” and goes on to contemplate its many features, its history, and what it means that he has caught it again. The use of imagery and sensory language is astounding, allowing us to vividly see the relationship that develops between man and fish, the fisherman’s respect and admiration for the creature growing with each notice of its many features. With this in mind, Bishop appeals to our many senses and manages to place us in the role of the fisherman, creating a visceral ...

William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience were written in the 18th century. Blake used parallel versions of his poems to construct an ideal form of human existence which he later compared against the contemporary society. His works, which were sometimes considered deeply spiritual, caused some of his critics to dismiss him as a Lunatic and his work as the rantings of a lunatic. Blake was also an artist and his images accompanied most of his poems. Blake used parallel poems to respond to the decay in the human values in the society (Vines 116). Many ...

"Lady Lazarus," a poem written in tercets, seems to face two realities: her own, and her perceived connection to the the Jews who had to face the worst types of torments imaginable. We may never know the full extent of what Jews and other minorities had to face during this time, but this dimly toned poem certainly tries to show an almost telepathic glimpse into their pain.
The first tercet looks to be based on autobiographical fact. "I have done it again./

One year in every ten/I manage it--" (all quotes are directly from Lady Lazarus, Plath).

Here, the tone is immediately ominous. The poet has done something. This is rarely a good thing. ...

The essay makes a comparison of “Maus” by Art Spiegelman and “Persepolis” by Marjane Satrapi. It would be challenging to express intense historic events and experiences through a graphic novel, but the readings are certainly beneficial to the readers. The visual formats of the graphic novel make a stronger connection between the reader and the characters, than just simply reading the word of text. The pictorial descriptions are helpful when introducing different characters, and one can recognizes their faces an on a page (Sanders 2015).
As one goes through the two graphic books, one comes across many similarities and ...

History acts as a reference point to the significant changes that happened in the past and influence how people act, live or behave. These reference points are important in keeping a certain heritage. For instance, the common reference point for most of the countries is Independence Day. It acts as a remembrance towards the liberation of a country by the forefathers. Such important days have become holidays set aside by the government for people to reflect on the sacrifices made by their ancestors. However, the current generation tends to disrespect these holidays by deviating from its true cause. Most ...

William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 73” is one of his easiest to read and, simultaneously, one of his most interesting poems. It covers several themes but the main theme is of aging, and the passing of time. The unhappy speaker muses about his impeding old age, and how this reminds him about the importance of love. Shakespeare uses many literary and stylistic devices to convey and enhance this theme. As the title suggests, the poem is in Shakespearian sonnet form, with fourteen lines and a rhyming scheme. The speaker and setting are inextricably linked and are central to the poem. ...

Western society (and to a lesser extent near-Eastern society as well) has felt the impact of the Classical world for thousands of years. The philosophy and political processes have all made their mark in one way or another, but it is the impact which Classical mythology has had on the world at large which is most well-known (or is at least more visible). From the use of classical imagery in famous paintings and sculptures, to the slightly less salubrious twisting of Greek fertility Gods into representations of Evil, classical mythology and imagery has saturated our culture from almost the ...

My experience of completing the positive body image exercises was exceedingly rewarding and positive. In the process of carrying out each separate exercise, I recognized my intrinsic alignment with positive judgments and feelings that support my body’s growth and development. The negative energy that I sometimes project towards others and myself with regards to body image is something that I found to be a product of my social conditioning and programming. In other words, the negative judgments or bad feelings that I have related to mine and others’ body image is something generated by my socialization process and ...

There are some who are quick to point out how women are photographed in other places that are not just the home or some sexual setting. Take the famous picture of the woman in the blue overalls saying “We Can Do It!” that appeared during wartime for example. This particular piece of propaganda demonstrates how women can feel powerful in their own right as they held down the home front while the men were away. Not only that but they helped to provide the materials that the soldiers needed over on the battlefield. The other interesting thing about this ...

Nature is an important element in many of the early texts. Both Beowulf and Canterbury Tales, written in very early English, use and personify Nature. It can be useful, therefore, to discuss the persona and action of nature in both texts, in an exploration of the use of nature in early fiction. This paper will, therefore, compare and contrast nature in the works of Beowulf and Canterbury Tales.
The imagery in the opening prologue of the Canterbury Tales is expressly related to nature. It describes the rebirth of spring, but the verbiage, specifically, that is used by Chaucer to ...

The relationship between a son and his father is usually complicated. Even though society pushes people to believe that it should always be rose colored, reality is often otherwise. Theodore Roethke had a very complicated link to his father, who died when he was only a teenager. He portrayed this connection in many of his texts, including his poems. In keeping with his true emotions, and those of many others, he did not present a cut and dry position with regards to he who had given birth to him.
There is evidence, like his use of the word papa, ...

Modernism in literature is said to have its roots in the late 19th century after World War I that took place from 1914 to 1919. Modernism in literary work is a shift from values, religion and tradition to isolation, identity crisis, fragmentation and relative truth. Modernism was catalyzed by World War I, as it led to mistrust in the ability of existing institutions to solve societal problems and maintain order in society. It also changed people’s perception of the world and society. World War I therefore influenced how writers wrote not just in terms of content of their ...

When traveling, people often include famous museums in their itinerary as this is a great way to get familiar with the history and culture of the country.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was an outstanding American writer and a huge supporter of women’s rights that reflected in her literary works.

The era of European civilization was marked by the French Revolution. The epoch was entangled in dialectic movements that tore it between romanticism and rationalism. The period marked the pick of literary works with several artists fronting different ideologies and eventual rejection of classicism. The fronting of romanticism came as a revolt against the intellectual order that had been glorified by rationalism. The critical period gave birth to great artists like Gerard Hopkins who followed in the footsteps of his father became an iconic figure in literary and poetic works that defined the era of romanticism (Caldecott 121-42). The ...

Music has always played a very significant role in people’s culture and development. Since ancient times it was the way of sending hidden messages and reaching the desirable audience, sometimes even to make people do something. For instance, one can easily observe that his/her mood changes greatly when listening to certain song or track. Moreover, it is not a secret anymore that certain type of music is used in commercials in order to make listeners buy certain products or services. Basically, music is one more way of mass media that manipulates people greatly without them even realizing it.

The main theme of ‘To His Coy Mistress’ by Andrew Marvell is known by the Latin phrase ‘Carpe diem.’ This means ‘Seize the day’; in other words, live life to the full now, because life is short and tomorrow we may be dead. It was a very common theme for poets to write about in the 16th and 17th centuries, perhaps because life and death were more unpredictable, life expectancy was shorter and medical knowledge very primitive. Another notable feature of this poem is its syllogistic structure: it is a carefully constructed argument. The first verse paragraph presents one possible scenario; ...

In my video I attempted to look at the phenomenon of gamification through a learning perspective. I deliberately decided not to make too much of an emphasis on academic learning because I wanted to frame everything in a way that would reflect our daily experiences.

This is the issue I have devoted the introduction in the video to. I made the shots just a ...

The Lord of the flies written by William Golding and Inferno by Dante Alighieri are allegorical books that expound common themes and similitude in the usage of styles. In particular, the common theme that resonates in these two books is the nature of man and the evil that men harbor in their hearts. In essence, the two novels delve to answer the question as to who is the real enemy of humankind. Though the two authors dexterously use different stylistic devices to answer the question, the convergence is that man himself is the worst enemy to each other. According ...

Titus Andronicus is one of the bloodiest of Shakespare's tragedies, with many characters dying or being tortured both on stage and off. What stands out in the mist of all this violence, though, is that the imagery used in many of the lines echoes it. Characters often use metaphors referring to hands and tongues, and other body parts, which mirror the condition of the characters they are talking about. A particularly powerful example is the dialogue in Act II between Lavinia and her cousin Marcus Andronicus. By matching the extreme violence of what has happened to Lavinia with the ...

Literary theory or literary criticism can be defined as the set of concepts, views and assumptions that form the bases for interpretation of one or another piece of writing. Literary criticism is employed in discussing and highlighting key ideas of writing. There are two objectives: to generalize knowledge of the subject matter of criticism – “the literature” – and to provide an interpretation. The term "theory" originates from the Greek "theoria". "Theoria" indicated a view or perspective of the Greek stage. (Iep.utm.edu) That is what literary theory offers in general, although some specific theories suggest complete systems for interpreting literature. At ...
