If death is really real, based upon the animistic quality of our five physical senses, then how do we know that we are truly alive and breathing, not in a dream? It has been proposed that our dependence upon our five senses is extraneous at best, and totally illusory at worst. When thinking about the quote ‘existence precedes essence’ the concept lends room for credibility that Morrie was right in suggesting that the fundamental truth of human existence rests upon happiness. In Mitch Albom’s non-fictional piece, Tuesdays with Morrie, the college professor’s life, recounted during the last ...

Are most relationships nothing more than mere momentary impulses that fade with time? In everyday life, relationships are complex interactions that require nurturing, protection and consistency. In this respect, they are so much more than just about fiery first encounters.

In telling this story, Mansfield utilizes a lot figurative language and symbolism to tell the story of Henry and ...

The continental plate in the eastern part of Asia is composed of various volcanoes and tectonic movements. Most of the volcanic rocks in this region are composed of alkali basalts with signs of continental contamination. There are various models that explain the region’s magmatic evolution. The two most common models used to explain the movements refers to the surficial processes and the other one refers to the deeper processes associated with the Pacific ocean plate. These two processes are antithetic and may hay happen subsequently. The volcanism can be traced by tomographic imaging that can be directly associated ...

The abrasive effects of dentifrices may ...

Waiting for Godot

Waiting for Godot by the Irish writer Samuel Becket is a powerful play attesting to the inevitable suffering inherent in human existence. The play depicts this agony even more poignantly by the fact that it is devoid of a well-organized plot and a conventional setting: “A country road. A tree” (Act 1). This is all the setting there is. .Devoid of these familiar elements, the audience or reader has no choice but to face one of the most fundamental elements of the play: an endless wait. As the play opens, the audience or reader meets Estragon, or rather Gogo, who is struggling ...

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is a highly influential American novel for many reasons, not the least of which is the compelling, well-drawn and uniquely American character of Atticus Finch.

Both in his parenting of Scout and his defense of Tom Robinson, Atticus’ virtue is shown throughout.

“Burnt Norton” by T.S. Eliot
This poem is told through a narrator speaking directly to an audience. He warns of living in the present and not to suffer the past or worry about the future, “If all time is eternally” present. To worry about what one has already done in the past, “Down the passage which we did not takeTowards the door we never opened will not help to live well in the present.” (Eliot) To spend one’s time think and planning for the future is also a waste, “Here is a place of disaffection Time before and time after”.

Early childhood education is an important phase of education. It is the child’s first experience of formal learning. At this stage, academics is not so significant as the development of like skills like hygiene, socialization, good habits and basic readiness for academics.

Throughout history, the ruling classes have normally offered protection to the areas of their jurisdiction. These rulers usually have the false hope of controlling their territory forever; thus they build harmonious relationships with the people they rule so that these people can protect them from external attacks. To achieve such a relationship between the ruler and his subjects, the rulers would occasionally instill fear into their warriors’ minds. The other way of building this relationship was through cultivating respect between them; the rulers and the subjects. In an Anglo-Saxon work like “Beowulf”, comitatus refers to the relationship created between the ...

The urge to tackle the reception of the arts is what differentiates the criticism Daniel Mendelsohn has on the United 93 film that depicts the happenings of September 2001 in the US.

Abstract

Water is the most important source of life. Survival of any living organism without water is impossible. Though a large part of the earth is constituted of water, the supply of fresh water is limited to only 3% of the total amount of water found on the earth's surface. With the demand for fresh and clean water rising across the world, it is time for us to think seriously about the importance of water conservation. There are several engineering and behavioral practices which, if adopted by us at home, industries and other spheres of work and life, can reduce the ...

Terrorism has had a tremendous impact on the manner in which the United States approaches it foreign policy (Woodward 2006). Long before terrorism reached the mainland United States there was a significant pressure to constantly review and update the US foreign policy.

There was a beginning creation of a framework to deal with the emerging terrorist threat but, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, many of the factions once under their influence were once more free to do as they ...

Literature: The Second World War and its Aftermath /A Century Ends

A poem by Theodore Roethke ‘My Papa’s Waltz’ is a representative of postwar lyrics. It describes father and son relationships, narrated retrospectively from the point of view of an adult, who used to be a participant of the action.
A question whether the poem pictures violence towards the child or on the contrary presents us warm relations between a youngster and a grown-up remains arguable. The author shows the act as a beautiful, graceful dance – the waltz. This fact directs us to the idea that for the narrator this experience was not horrible at all. He does not try to idealize his ...

ABSTRACTThis paper explores the many general similarities between Alice Walker’s "The Welcome Table" and Nadine Gordimer’s "Country Lovers", and the ways in which racism is presented by both writers. Both stories condemn the hypocrisy and attack the injustices of racist societies. Both stories have a symbolic element which is examined and discussed and the fact that both stories are set in very different societies and, therefore, have very different contexts and settings is always at the heart of the paper’s argument. Each story is also discussed and explored separately in order to focus on its individual qualities. ...

The poem entitled “The Mother” by Gwendolyn Brooks interprets like an excerpt out of African American history. As a single work, it signifies a small piece of the struggle as experienced by African Americans, women specifically. The poem itself is about Abortion. Ironically, the statistical trend of Abortion is proportionally high in comparison to other cultures to this day. Abortions in the black community peak at about 35% of all abortions in total while the black community (both foreign and those with slave ancestry) only account for about 10% of the entire population of the country.

As a mode of literary criticism, structuralism gained popularity in the late 1950s when the work of Ferdinand de Saussure was translated into English. In chapter 7 Structuralist Criticism of her brilliant book Critical Theory Today: A User-Friendly Guide, Lois Tyson states that before Saussure, the changes of words through time were studied to analyze language. In fact, words were studied in a diachronic manner. Additionally, every word in some represented the object itself.
In the entire context of the chapter, as in to say, keep reading the rest of what she says, what does she mean by this?

Most people would not take notice of an old man resting on a bridge, especially during wartime when a battle is expected any moment. But the soldier in Hemingway’s short story “Old Man at the Bridge” does notice the old man and listen to what the man has to say. The short story was published in 1938 but the idea and the notes for the story were made by Hemingway in Spain earlier in the 1930s. General Franco, a fascist, had decided to overthrow the government and went to war against the people of Spain so he could take power as a ...

Introduction

It is a million dollar question. What makes a good piece of literature? What makes a memorable piece of music? The question applies to every medium of art in factwhat makes the work of a human worth seeing, worth reading, listening, feeling or watching, studying. And the answer too is simple enough. Any work of art that conveys an idea in its purity and freshness no matter where the looking glass is aimed at, from whichever perspective, is worthy of note. Literature can transmit ideas from ages past, to demographics wide, mould itself into fashions and traditions and yet mean something different to ...

Compare three or more poems according to their imagery.

Mary Barnet’s poetry is intriguing and full of life with several real life observations on the daily drudge which makes up our intrinsic existence. In some ways she also resembles Keats, Byron and Shelley with several of her poems couched in real life phrases which are extremely delectable and rather beautiful.

A typical example would be the poem, ‘There’

Here one can look at the sun as the catalysts of the poem where Barnet recreates a stark and intrinsically ugly landscape without much hope for the future. She mentions the sun’s rays beating on her scalp which is surely something rather tiresome and in this sense ...

Shades of Prejudice

Thanks to the New York Times, the elephant in the room has finally been acknowledged. Colorism, the unconscious prejudice, has long thrived since by and large it has gone unspoken. The writer gives light to this issue and explores the extent of its effect in society. Colorism is a form of discrimination through which people receive differing social treatment based on their skin color. It is not only an intra-racial problem, with people of the same ethnic group discriminating against each other, but also an interracial issue.
Skin tone plays a significant role in who gets ahead and who does ...

The cold and uncaring blue gets a reddish tinge to express inbuilt emotion and slowly moves toward the bright and ferocious red mixed with bright yellow to create the orange symbolizing energy but confusion. There are lots of emotions embedded in the picture but are not vivid and the coldness is spread everywhere which has created distance between people. The image colourpsychology-red moves on to depict hidden blue and yellow together to make it green and display that section which is still calm and composed however there are other sections that have the darker side and are powerful demonstrations of ...
