1. The Odyssey tells an overarching story about the adventures of Homer, but it also tells the story of the Greek’s ancient world. The narration of the story is that of story-telling. It is essentially the written account of what an ancient Greek might have heard around the campfire. Within the story, is the story of storytellers? At the beginning of the story storytelling is listed as a high virtue: “You are a fine, mart looking fellow; show your mettle, then, and make yourself a name in story” (Homer, 10).

2. When Polyphemus asked Odysseus his name, he responded disrespectfully ...

The best servant leader who ever lived on earth is Jesus Christ. He was born of Virgin Mary after His conception through the Holy Spirit in the book of Luke 1:26. This was a fulfilment of the prophet Isaiah prophecy in the book of Isaiah 7:14. Isaiah prophesied and said that a virgin shall conceive a child whose name shall be Immanuel meaning, God with us.

When communication is intended to reach a large number of anonymous and diverse audiences with a strategy and purpose, mass communication happens. The channels or medium of mass communication are evolving and increasing year by year and its history may be as old as human existence. Tom-tom could be an ancient mass communication tool. The channels or media of mass communication include newspapers, magazines, books, radio, television, film, sound recordings and the Internet. My colleagues Mitchell, J and Perry M have recently made a presentation on the evolution and future of Books and Internet respectively. The presentations covered the evolution, significance, place ...

The two assignments that I will review in this assignment are the evolution of books and the internet. The two assignments document about the evolution of the communication methods as well as indicate important personality in these modes of communication. Both books and the internet have become interdependent, with the existence of the internet allowing for soft copy books and online libraries.

The evolution of books and the internet have been one of the most important innovations in mass communication. Books are universally accepted media of communication, learning, and entertainment. The internet has also been allowed between the ...

I had always found Math to be a bit of a problem, and I struggled all through my school life just to catch up. Geometry, Algebra, menstruation every part inflicted misery on me the day after day. The problem reached its peak during college when calculus posed yet another challenge in my life and no matter how much I tried; I never understood the notion of differentiation or integration. With a heavy workload and numerous courses during the semester hanging over my head, every night in my dorm room I struggled to grasp onto yet another concept. Day after day, my worries ...

The painting “American Progress” by John Gast came to symbolize America’s role on the world stage by the end of the 19th century. The painting has come to symbolize the expansion as well as national destiny. In this painting, one sees the woman “Columbia” moving westward carrying a school book and stringing telegraph wires as she moves westward. This symbolizes the “conquest” of the United States onwards to the Pacific Ocean – one sees the Native Americans bowed as they too move westward to avoid the onslaught of the White man. Columbia is stringing telegraph wires, ...

History of Children’s Literature

In the time when there were no books and not everyone could write and read, mothers and grandmothers were able only to tell their children or grandchildren stories and fairy tales. Even when people became more literate, they did not begin to write down folklore for youngsters.
It was Charles Perrault, who collected and published folk tales for children in 1697. However, speaking about folklore, people imagine more often not Charles Perrault, but the Brothers Grimm (Zipers, 2002). They are considered to be the first collectors of both folk and fairy tales. The reason for this is their ...

What are the Dimensions of Religion? Why are the Dimensions of Religion helpful in studying religion?

Religion is a thorough perspective that records for these inquiries of human presence and considers having confidence in something past the "common".

It was stated in Ninian Smart's Seven Dimensions of Religion (10–21):

1. Experiential/Emotional. There are sure encounters that appear to offer ascent to religion: experiencing common or heavenly drives that create a feeling of dread or wonder, contemplating one passing, having an "extraordinary" vision, feeling united with all of reality, or encountering extremely solid feelings.
2. Social/Institutional. Individuals who have these encounters search out others with comparative encounters and structure bunches for backing.
3. Account/Mythic. In the gathering, individuals pass on their involvement in stories.

In today’s world, children are now the sole responsibility of the families without the support of public in the rapid economic development. Policy makers have assumed that government assistance for caring a child has shown minimal response especially female family members that can continue to provide care for their children.

When mothers have had to leave their homes for continuing their job, alternative children grandmother used to take care of them.

Prior to discussing the merits and demerits of e-book content, it is imperative to have a clear understanding of the term e-book. Prevalently, e-book connotes to an electronic version of the printed book or traditional print book that can be simply read using computer, smartphone or e-book reader.

Typically, e-book content has myriad advantages. The text in the content of an e-book is searchable; the reader can easily scroll through the e-book until he/she locates the desired text. Additionally, searching of the desired content only takes miniature time (Stair & Reynolds, 2014). Moreover, the content of the e-book is invariably ...

Born during the height of discrimination and slavery, Paul Laurence Dunbar strived to be educated and was able to write poems, short stories and novels from the perspective of his race, the African-Americans. Their desire to be free from the term Africans which has a connotation of being a slave was vividly described in his writings. These writings became the inspiration of the personalities of the Civil rights movement like Maya Angelou. This is specifically to Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

In one of his poems entitled, Lyrics of Lowly Life, he articulated how his race were ...

Introduction

In writing this book, De Waal was too modest. The title of the book is a gross understatement of the sophistication and richness of the literature in the book. Any scholar would be hard-pressed in finding another t-the-point, fair-minded, graceful yet compact exploration of the tormented, fascinating and the utterly complex region that Asia represents. The literature in the book is diverse in that his arguments do not just confine to the Russian great-power games but also explores the fault lines and many cross-cutting intricacies in the region.

In the start of the book, De Waal explores the ancient glories ...

In his article “Violent Media is Good for Kids”, Gerard Jones argues that violent media has a positive impact on young people (57). The reason I chose this article is because Gerard uses his own childhood experiences to explain why violent media has a positive impact on young minds. The author tells his story from his own experiences and not from another person’s experience.

Gerard organizes his thoughts systematically. Jones uses the elements of diction, tone and organization and example. He uses words that are conversational. His positive attitude throughout the article makes his readers think equally as he ...

Quran and bible are the sacred books of Muslims and Christians respectively. Many important aspects become visible when they are read in detail. From the Koran’s excerpts, the most surprising finding for me is that there is no discrepancy in this holy book. Koran openly challenges all to find and make similar book if you have any doubt in it (Peters). Moreover, it is also surprising to me that God has taken the responsibility of Koran’s protection Himself and has mentioned that “I have revealed this Holy book and I will protect it”, that is why, ...

Obviously this literary classic has endured intense scrutiny, been the subject of many heated debates and has stood as a model for other works of its kind since Milton published the 12 books in 1674 after its initial appearance in 10 books in 1667. One of the most hotly contested themes, however, has been that the author intended Satan, the poem’s narrator, to be a hero, rather than the religious or historical presentation in our society that Satan is the root of all evil. Despite what many learned scholars surmise, Milton’s aim was not to have his readers glorify ...

When we talk of the Christmas story, we remember the biblical narrative that includes the holy family, the midnight hour, the animals in the farm, and the little town Bethlehem. The Gospels in the New Testament narrates the birth of Jesus in four different ways but not contrary to one another. Each of the four books creates an image of Jesus through distinctive messages intended for particular audience. The Book of Mark that was written by Mark himself mostly talks about the preaching and teachings that were made by Apostle Peter. His Gospel does not talk about the birth ...

Temperament means certain characteristics and aspects, associated with one’s personality. It is believed that a child is born with them and they persist throughout his lifetime. Temperament is also often associated with one’s emotions, for example, nervousness, joy, etc.

At times an author’s work might actually snatch up the interest of a reader with only its first few words and then drag such a reader forward without any mercy. One book that fulfills this is “The Tiger’s Wife” by Tea Obreht. The starting paragraph of this award winning novel hooks a reader. Every reader is in a position to be consumed and conflicted at the same time struggling to make a decision on whether to sit through to its end or just relax and savor it. The author’s style can be described as most interesting since it encourages us ...

In describing myself as a reader, I could stress that I am not on the overly enthusiastic side; nor am I in the uninterested side. In general, I would consider myself an averagely eager reader. As a young child, I have been reading detective books for children; and ever since, I was interested in reading materials that have suspense and mystery as their themes and plots. Likewise, I also learned to read other literary types; ranging from romance, fiction, novels, short stories, autobiographies, and standard articles from journals and publications. Aside from reading materials assigned in the traditional classroom setting, I ...

Considering significant role of manager functions in work of any foundation, especially one that works in service sector, I would like to pay attention exactly to consequences of rewards and punishments from manager’s side. Important thing here is the skill of manager to place the correct accents (priorities). The affect on worker may be totally different even though the notice will sound similarly. ...

1. Lisa Robertson's essay "The Venus Problem" is a unique way to present an essay, mixing multimedia usages of images, prose, poetry and verse, and more to provide a fascinating and wonderfully beautiful. The essay itself runs not from top to bottom, but left to right, acting as a constant scroll of prose and analysis of the poems. In each page, Robertson plays with spacing, line placement, italicization, and more to create an offbeat way to read her analysis. Her use of spacing, emphasizing the last word of one of her pages ("variance") by placing it on another section ...

What purpose does the digression serve in Tristram Shandy? What does it give us, as readers, that a more straightforward narrative would not?
Tristam Shandy is an intriguing book which relies quite intensely on the maxim of recollection and digression. Laurence Sterne is very descriptive in the way he comes out with his main character’s adventures and digressions which along the way tend to take up a portent of fantastic proportions.
Reading the book is an intense experience as we have to digest some pretty unpalatable experiences.

The way Sterne shapes his monologue is extremely involving and interesting ...

During the course of the assignment, I interviewed Mr. Zachary James (CPA). I was attracted to Zachary as a result of his African background. He moved to the United Kingdom immediately he completed his university education in a Kenyan university. He is a comical guy who at first meeting may be taken to be a failure. However, the more you interact with him, you realise the sobriety with which he handles life issues. Zachary is reportedly married to Sarah James and is blessed with three children. During the interview, he reports that he has the fewest children among his family members. He attributes ...

At the beginning of Le Morte d’Arthur, it appears that Arthur is supposed to be the hero of the story. He is raised in ignorance of his true identity; a miracle accompanies the recognition of his right to rule Britain; he endures a struggle to prove himself worthy as a ruler; he has good intentions to rule in a noble manner. In the first two books, for the most part Arthur’s actions seem heroic. He wins battles and demonstrates both bravery and honor. However, Malory also describes an act of Arthur’s that does not accord with the role of hero. ...

Kaufman’s first two sentences capture the attention of the reader since they give a shallow depth of the significant title the author has used. After reading the title of a book the first statements of the piece should reflect the motive of the author in creating the book. In this case the author achieved this objective and it captured my attention to get to read the whole piece.

In the title of the book by Kaufman, the highlighting of Hector and Achilles was significant in this piece (Rosa & Eschholz, 103). The author of the book and hector were best ...

Choosing the Topic

Instead of coming up with the appropriate topic as the teacher, I felt that it was best to select a topic by first understanding what the children’s interests were, and this would be through an assessment of their conversations, drawings, observations, questions and parental reports. Most of the children were interested in pets that they had at home, and a majority of the pets that interested them were dogs. Their conversations and drawings revolved around their pets. I realized that this would be a relevant topic for investigation because it would focus on the following vital aspects of children growth and ...

The famous aboriginal personality whom I have chosen for the assessment on aboriginal personalities is David Unaipon. David Ngunaitponi or David Unaipon as he later came to be known as was born on 28 September, 1872 at Raukkan Mission in the Coorong region of South Australia. Being the fourth of the nine children of his parents James and Nymbulda Ngunaitponi, Unaipon started formal education at 7 from Point McLeay Mission School.

After being forced to leave school at the age of 13 he was then forced to work as a bootmaker. But, after his marriage to Katherine Carter, a Tangane woman ...

In the early 1800s, Neoclassical writing was par for the course; works were typically very restrained, conservative, and focused on structure more than anything else. However, as the 19th century rolled along, more and more authors (including Washington Irving and

James Fenimore Cooper) found themselves writing stories of passion, full of experimentation and discovery. In these works, notions of established language and literary structure were challenged, as the Romantics ceased believing in the established systems of literature and created wholly new works that were free from restraint. While the works of Smith demonstrate the observational, dry and formal writing ...

While there is quite a bit of intense and complex wordplay in The Phantom Tollbooth, I firmly believe that this sophistication makes the work more interesting and inspires greater curiosity in the English language. This language may stymie young readers at first, but I think it inspires them to pick up on new words and phrases they would otherwise not be exposed to so easily. The use of wordplay instills a sense of whimsy through repetition and quirkiness, which is interesting enough to teach these children those phrases and words. Juxtaposition between the normal and abnormal is something the book sets ...

I think that many of the characters in The Secret Garden could be considered good role models. However, this is not until the garden changes their lives for the better. Colin Craven, the young disabled boy, is an extremely gloomy and depressed individual due to his circumstances; however, with the help of the garden and his interactions with Mary, he starts to become more optimistic about the future, and has a lot more fun.

Mary Lennox, though she is an incredibly selfish and self-absorbed character in the beginning, seems to take a dramatic change in her behavior as she gets to ...

This dedication to the act of harvesting lumber itself is condoned in the book through the main dramatic tension: the work of the Limberlost harvesters to make sure that no timber thieves illegally cut down trees and cut into their profits. Because the conflict focuses so closely on the legality of who should harvest the Limberlost, and not whether the harvesting itself is a good idea, there is no abject environmentalism to speak of in the text - just ownership of land and nature's resources. McLean even just primarily objects to them not taking lumber efficiently enough - " ...

Fallacies refer to mistakes that people make frequently in arguments. Most fallacies accrue from questionable premises, while others accrue from false dichotomy or slippery slope Fallacies make arguments less logical and lack the compelling evidence required to assure coherency and completeness. If an argument had fallacy, then the conclusion becomes false (Mosser, K., 2011).

1. The first fallacy concerns making hasty generalizations: Here is an example.

I have read books about Africa. The books report a great deal of poverty in the continent. Ayodo is from Nigeria, which is in Africa. Ayodo is therefore poor. The fallacy in this argument is because it assumes that everyone in Africa is poor. Poverty can ...

A particular feature of the literature is that it can send the author’s message in various ways and reach a target reader out of the crowd of ignorant ones. This can be often achieved through the hidden meaning inside a literary work or through irony, satire and caricature of the reality described. The aim of the present work is to compare and contrast Anton Chekhov’s play “The Proposal” and Guy de Maupassant’s short story “The Necklace”. In this context, the comparison will be conducted in the framework of the depicting of the same theme of gender ...

“Our viewpoints on philosophical issues are shaped by our fundamental values and beliefs.” Discuss in the light of the viewpoints given. Life is transient. The world will eventually perish someday. My cardinal value is based on this one notion, a confirmed belief that the world is bound to collapse someday. However, at the present hour, when everything seems real, the only virtues that stay by your side are temperance, courage, justice and wisdom. These are the cardinal values that tend to govern the entire life of a human. My life has been shaped by these four basic virtues.

Jean Rhys’ I Used to Live Here Once, is an unusually short story. However, it is also unusually memorable, which is always a sign of an effective piece of work. Through the use of point of view, symbolism, imagery, and other narrative techniques, Rhys explores a delicate theme in a subtle yet powerful way.

I Used to Live Here Once is a rather shadowy tale of a woman who appears to be a ghost calling on her childhood home. The narrator trails the woman on her walk from a near river and along an old road that leads to the house in which she spent her ...

When a new technology is created, there are always people who believe it is a good thing and there are people who believe it is a bad thing. It is not surprising that people today have the same feelings about the Internet. Some people who use the Internet daily wonder if it is having a bad effect on our minds. For example, Nicholas Carr writes about the Internet’s bad effects in his July 2008 article in The Atlantic, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?.” The Internet can be bad for people, but it is a choice people make if it will be bad ...

The book on servant leadership makes a number of arguments. The first argument is whether it is possible to merge a leader with a servant. According to the book, the two can be merged. Secondly, the book argues on whether it is possible for such a person that results from the merging, to be productive and live well in the present real world. Again, the book claims that this possibility is true. The chapter titled The Servant as Leader in the book therefore ends up being dedicated to explain how and why this possibility is true or is real. The book gives a short ...
