Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits is a narrative that is the tale of a single family spanning several generations in Latin America.

Both of these books carry many thematic similarities, and yet their differences in story, tone and character bring new notions to light about how these stories are told.

As previously mentioned, both stories have a very unconventional ...

Where heaven is seen as a place of static peace and balance, hell, according to Blake is a place where the extremes are witnessed and doing so is as good as progressing on the spiritual path.

Introduction

Human suffering is inevitable but there are ways to combat it for the attainment of happiness. When humans suffer, they always agonize as a complete human being. The emotional, mental and spiritual misery of human beings cannot be totally detached from all other kinds of suffering, such as from damaging ordinary, environmental, radical, economic and social conditions. In actuality, they relate with each other and inspire each other. People do not only grieve from illnesses, physical pain, and the lack of decent prospects to mollify their basic dynamic, communal, and emotive needs. They also grieve when they are not ...

Grendel is a character from the heroic epic poem Beowulf that is certainly worth remembering. Despite the ambiguity of his nature, Grendel, it seems that the emotions and impulses that drive him are vaguely human. Therefore, considering vaguely human character traits that Grendel possesses, almost any ‘human’ hero with the right set of heroic qualities could defeat a monster like Grendel.
When Grendel first reveals himself and attacks the sleeping men at Heorot, which is King Hrothgar's mead-hall, the narrator of the poem claims that his motives are anger and envy of the nightly entertainment at the mead-hall, while he ...

As very well stated by Jeff Wilson (2014) in his book Mindful America, “How Buddhism moves into new cultures and becomes domesticated: in each case, members of the new culture take from Buddhism what they believe will relieve their culture-specific distresses and concerns, in the process spawning new Buddhism (sometimes, crypto-Buddhism) that better fit their needs” (Wilson, 2014, p. 3).
Mindfulness in its true form is practicing and taming the mind to learn to live in the present without thinking about past or present while observing from a distance our own self and our thoughts which continue to flow ...

Baldwin’s Go Tell it on the Mountain, and Morrison’s Home are two Interesting to read literatures. Each book brings its own uniqueness to the table. Indeed, in both books, there is a brilliant course in regards to exploring their examinations of race, family, and religion. It is obvious that Baldwin is clearly the frankest of the two (however not essentially the most prevailing for that). However, America’s most celebrated novelist, Nobel Prize-winner Toni Morrison lengthens her philosophical point of view on our history with his story of redemption. Baldwin's first main masterpiece, a story that has founded itself ...

The wise, old man offered valuable advice on the issue of ...

Through the poem, Poe demonstrates to how the experience of losing a loved one can propel someone ...

While Whitman did not use many details and focused on feelings and surrounding, it is possible to create narrator’s profile that is based only on poem’s words.

Do you believe in reincarnation? Personally I never did before. I cannot say that I belong to that category of people who refer themselves to any particular religion or devote their lives to appreciating gods or saints. I preferred to characterize myself as a rational person. I believed in rationality and usually can find a sober reason and explanation to anything in the world – everything that seems to be supernatural has a rational explanation. I never really thought and cared about my soul, but a tiny event that recently happened in my life made me change my views and ...

Introduction

Myth, particularly in the Greek tradition, places a great significance on place and location – cities such as Thebes, Athens and Crete are given almost mythical importance of their own through their roles in the characters’ journeys. In the case of Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, Thebes is both the setting and the goal of the story – Oedipus’ loyalty to Thebes, a suffering city, provides a complex goal and metaphor for Oedipus’ own journey to the truth of his own existence and past with King Laius. Thebes is just as much of a character in Oedipus Rex as Oedipus himself or any other figure, solidifying place’ ...
