Abstract

There are numerous factors, which influence the development of the containerized cargo and bulk transportation. Both modes of transportation are subject to economic, political, social, technological, ...

The two poems, Because I Could Not Stop for Death, by Emily Dickinson and Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night, by Dylan Thomas deal with the theme of death. Each poem looks at death in different ways. Thomas does not accept death readily, but implores his father to hold on to life. On the other hand, Dickinson accepts death calmly. Both poets make use of figurative devices such as metaphors, personification and alliteration as they explore their opposing views of the concept of death.

Dickinson creates the feeling that death has compassion and creates a contrast in how ...

The survival of the modern economy depends on a neverending stream of consumption. This is why cars do not last as long as they used to, it is why the cost of a new television is not significantly higher than the cost of television repair, and it is why restaurants continue to proliferate across the map, hopping from retail corner to retail corner to chase families down before they can get home and cook their own meals. This trend began in the wake of the Great Depression; while it was largely the mobilization of industry for World War II that brought ...

Abstract

Accidents are an inevitable element of the air carriage industry; however, a good number of these could have been avoided given proper human resource management efforts. The task of these specialists is to recruit, to train, and to evaluate industry employees like pilots. Instead, they often overlook health issues and psychological disorders leaving the wellbeing and lives of passengers exposed to mortal threat. Owing to HR specialists’ miscalculations, pilots with insufficient qualification, those willing to ignore the guidelines of dispatchers and act carelessly received their coveted positions. The liberalization of workplace regulations did the industry an ill favor allowing individuals ...

Liam Neeson’s ‘Carriages Belong in Central Park’ is an article, which addresses horse-drawing carriage business in the Central Park. The author notes that such an activity has existed over the centuries, and sees no harm about it. However, Mayor Bill de Blasio intends to eradicate the activity. His reason for this step is that the industry was inhumane, and as a result, he suggested that he would replace the horse-drawn carriages with vintage cabs. Neeson had as his main aim the urge to argue against such abolishment, for he saw no reason for the horses to be banned for ...

“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”.

In 1956, Warner Brothers released a cartoon called “Bugs’ Bonnets.” At the start, the narrator shows the ways in which the things a person wears influence their behavior. A mild-mannered man in a business suit suddenly is put into pirate garb, and he starts shouting and bellowing like Redbeard himself. The narrator then moves to a change in hats; at that point, a truck driving down the road labeled “Acme Theatrical Hat Co.” has its back doors open, and the hats start floating down into the value. Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd just happen to be running around in the valley, and they end ...

Concurring with the Italian proverb “After the game, the king, and the pawn go into the same box”, when a person is done playing chess, all the pieces go back in the same box. Thus, no matter how lofty or lowly their position was in the game, nor the side in which they were, all the pieces share the same crummy dark space. The quote captures the essence of social class and the fact that people are equal no matter their wealth statuses. Similarly, in “Northanger Abbey”, Jane Austen criticizes the emphasis that the society of 19th century England places ...

Abstract Alfred Lord Tennyson was perhaps the greatest poet of the nineteenth century Victorian era. While ‘In Memoriam,’ was written in honor of his best friend who died at a young age, some of his other famous works included ‘Ulysses,’ and ‘Morte d’ Arthur,’ which were again written in memory of his fond friend. The tones of these poems are nostalgic and reflect the mood and sentiments of a poet who had witnessed the unceremonious arrival of death from the outside. Emily Dickinson, a contemporary of Tennyson, was born in the United States. Her poem ‘Because I could not stop for ...

‘Instructor’s Name’

Emily Dickinson's "Because I could not stop for death" Emily Dickinson is one of the significant contributors to American Literature and her poems are known for their theme of loneliness, and recollection of life changing inspirational moments. Lot of her works was indeed published much after her demise, and the earlier publication had many alterations done by the editors of the publication houses. This was due to the fact that Dickinson’s style of writing, broken rhyming meter and use of punctuations, showed a mark detachment from the traditional styles of that era. ‘Because I could not stop for ...

Division of labor

It a process whereby people specialize in areas of production in which they are best fitted to work. A British economist of the 17th century Adam Smith is accredited to have developed the modern model of division of labor.

For example industry is more amenable to division of labor than agriculture causing poor ...

The Third Class Carriage. H. Daumier. c. 1862. Oil on canvas. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The 19th century was a period of great change.

This is to mean that the human mind has an unlimited capacity to create a myriad of technological changes that make the ...

Interpreting poetry

‘Because I could not stop for death’ is a highly-acclaimed poem written by Emily Dickinson in the 19th century. It basically illuminates death through personification. It has been regarded as one of the best English poems composed ever.

But this essay illuminates one literary aspect of the poem which stands out- imagery. Death has been personified as a man who takes a ride with the poetess to her grave in a carriage. Still, it’s the imagery which deserves an ovation here. The way ...

Areas of concern:

Projected sales are the first area of concern in the budgeting of the Competition Bikes Company. The company has recorded greater than average performance since its inception. A company that experienced a growth in sales of more than thirty-three per cent in its second period of business should not be modest. It is a classic case of misplaced priority. The disparity could have been innocently informed by the prevailing financial crisis. The crisis has cleared, and recovery is on the path. The projected sales should be close to four thousand units. The company has the facilities to ensure that the demand ...

Under this principle, the revenues are recognised in the period whether or not they are paid up in the same time. The transaction that raises the revenue is recognised as the driver of the revenue.

Emily Dickinson is well-known for writing on a variety of themes, death being major contender among them. “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” and “I Heard a Fly Buzz” are two strong examples of poems with death as their overarching theme.

The latter poem depicts a woman attempting to die peacefully when a fly interrupts her tranquillity and her very passing as well. While ...

Often we walk right by the disabled, and they do not even register in what we “see” whether we are strolling through an airport or down a downtown street. According to a number of theorists, their disability removes them from what we notice. In the movie The Fisher King, Tom Waits plays a disabled veteran in an uncredited role. While Parry (Robin Williams) and Jack (Jeff Bridges) await the appearance of Lydia (Amanda Plummer) in Grand Central Station, Jack breaks off into a conversation with this veteran. An amputee in a wheelchair, the veteran describes himself as a “moral traffic light” that keeps the able-bodied ...

Analysis of Dickinson’s “The Brain is Wider and the Sky” and “Because I Could Not Stop for Death”

Poetry is an art that is often wrought by souls who have considerable difficulty interacting with people in the world at large. While Robert Frost and Maya Angelou may have felt comfortable reading their work at Presidential inaugurations, others such as Sylvia Plath and Emily Dickinson felt extremely out of place in society and chose instead to sequester themselves from the world as much as possible. It might seem that this ascetic sort of life would make it difficult to render poetry that is meaningful to readers who interact frequently with others, without the type of angst that so ...

What do a Victorian poet laureate and an American poetess from the heart of conservative Massachusetts have in common? They both have written poems that obsess about death. In the case of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, it was the death of his best friend, Arthur Henry Hallam that triggered a giant poetic eulogy that took nearly two decades to write. In the case of Emily Dickinson's, on the other hand, it was one of her many poetic works that brings out her rather morbid attraction towards death. Though the works of these two writers may seem different at first sight, they are ...

INTRODUCTION

In “Because I Would Not Stop for Death,” Emily Dickinson expresses a certain peace with death, as she sees Death approaching and walks with him for a time, observing everything that had come before in her life, and awaiting what lay next.
