Introduction

When it comes to story-telling, many people emphasize the story part, instead of the telling one. Nevertheless, the manner in which a story is told can be very influential in its reception. In fact, many people would say that the story itself changes depending on the discourse that presents it. This came to the limelight in the end of the nineteenth century with the Modernist current. Authors such as James Joyce and Virginia Woolf deliberately modified the way that stories were told. They utilized many techniques that allowed them greater range of expression, many of which were not even ...

Abstract

Salvador Dali can be considered the iconic painter of the surrealist movement. He was cheeky, provocative, ironic, and disrespectful in his attitude to all he came in contact with. He took the foundations of surrealism to their extreme. Dali raised surrealism to a higher artistic level by depicting emotions and thoughts ranging from realism to delirium. His unusual creativity is evocative because of its mysteriousness and uncertainty. This paper attempts to discover a little more about this Spanish artist and takes a look at one of his most famous paintings.

In today’s economic and technological climate, the world’s consumption of oil and gas far outstrips our ability to replenish our supply. At the current rate of our oil usage, I do not believe it is possible to maintain our consumption for very long, as it would require the discovery of new fields on par with Saudi Arabia’s current supplies every decade. Even if we were able to find these new supplies and deposits, there is only a finite amount of oil remaining in the world, thus necessitating the consideration of alternative fuel sources. If the developed ...

Credit Expansion In 2001, the economy faced a mild recession (GDP dropped by 0.3%) with unemployment remaining at a 30-year low (only 4%). Policy makers concluded that such a small drop was an end of a business cycle. The Federal Reserve, however, took measures to stimulate borrowing and spending and decreased interest rates multiple times throughout a year resulting in 40 years lowest 1.75%. The end of the recession and low-interest rates caused a rapid growth in housing and construction. The recovery was characterized by extremely small unemployment gains in all sectors of the economy except for construction. In ...

Perimeter security is designed to protect building and construction sites from the unauthorised access of people. Perimeters can be built of different materials depending on the kind of construction expected to take place among other determining factors. To improve the security of this perimeter, constructors select materials that are difficult to climb. That is done with the aim of deterring invaders, including children who would want to access the site. In this case, it is important that the construction site is secluded from the existing building and seawall with a perimeter fence. The functionality of this is especially important ...

The intensive growth and more new scientific and technological developments give builders practically unlimited possibilities. But to the fore, the problem of choice comes – how to rationally determine the most appropriate technology? Particularly heated is the debate between supporters and defenders of monolithic construction of prefabricated concrete (bibm.eu, 2016). The main difference of the prefabricated concrete construction from the monolith is manufacturing of building structures in the factory with careful laboratory monitoring of the whole process (concretenetwork.com, 2016). Impact of human factors on the quality of the product is reduced to an absolute minimum, and perhaps it can be ...

Stravinsky’s Aesthetics

People hear examples of music almost everywhere and every time. They can even hear such examples in the nature. Singing of birds or the rippling of the brook can be also called music. These sounds can please people’s ears, and they can consider them as the music (Stravinsky 23). However, the author argues that we can speak about these sounds only in the terms of comparison. We cannot consider comparison to be a reason. All of these nature sounds can suggest music to people, but we cannot call it the music itself. The author also states that there ...

Philosophy and Logic

The nature of philosophy as, as Socrates put it, a metaphorical gadfly demonstrates the relationship that the discipline has with other academic and intellectual pursuits. The idea that Socrates was attempting to express is in consideration of the role of philosophy in the sciences and the philosopher in society (Plato 2016). This role, for Socrates went well beyond simple academic pursuits, but rather, extended into all aspects of life. In this sense, it is important to consider this metaphor in relation to the conception that Socrates had of the implications of rational thought and the mind's pursuit of knowledge. ...

He talked about the specific places in Atlanta that witnessed the birth of the American Civil Rights Movement, implying that Atlanta is also a special place like other Southern cities. However, as Recee suggested, it is not enough to know about where and what happened during the historical moment of the Civil Rights movement to feel the magnitude of that event. ...

Group Interaction

Group C interaction involved a discussion of the videos, The Politics of Sociology and Planning a Playground. The group interaction, however, faced different challenges as the group lacked cohesion. The lack of cohesion was mainly because of poor communication amongst group members. Consequently, some group members were not fully prepared for the discussion. The issue of preparedness was, however, countered by allowing discussion of ideas by members who had already prepared in advance; therefore, allow the unprepared members time to compose their ideas. Due to issues of unpreparedness, there was unequal participation in the group. Two or three group ...

The question arises: “What is the main difference between monolithic and prefabricated?” The difference lies in a method of manufacturing and the sphere of application. For example, monolithic concrete is produced solely on the construction site. This method is very popular because an architect can plan custom and extravagant designs. However, this same technology is ...

One of the most well-known icons of masculinity in twentieth-century American culture was Ernest Hemingway, who made a huge show out of his high levels of testosterone, pursuing such interests as big-game hunting, gallivanting to Europe to volunteer in the Spanish Civil War, and other acts of bravado. It’s likely that this came about as a result of what his mother Grace had done when he was quite young. His mother had wanted twins, but she didn’t get them. Instead she got a daughter Marcelline, and then 18 months later, Ernest came along. However, she built a ...
