The poem relates the story of Richard Cory, who was a very wealthy man. He lived the life of a king: rich, elegant, and graceful. Whenever Cory passed by pavement dwellers, he appeared to be godly to those poor people who had seen nothing more than misery in their lives. They could not even earn their daily bread ...

There is nothing wrong in the fact that we admire the Louvre and the Parthenon, Mediterranean villas and Swiss chalets, or inspired by the new architectural forms and objects of the interior of other countries, and show our desire to bring them into our reality. The bad thing is that this does not go beyond stylization of the surface. As a result, when we want to create the interior in the conditional "Japanese style", we simply get wallpaper with Japanese cherries, hand fans on the walls and furniture made of particleboard in the dark colors, instead of creating an ...

Rubbish in Design

INTRODUCTION The question of rubbish in design has assumed increasing significance in recent years. The late modernity in artistic expression, particularly in design, has made a strong case of incorporating everyday elements into different artistic expressions including, most notably, painting, sculpture, photography and installations. In so doing, artistic expression has metamorphosed from a rather distanced engagement in "mundane" (made into loftier expressions by professional artistic design) into an actual immersion into day-to-day actualities in order to render "real" objects in different kaleidoscopic representations, particularly in still and video installations. The emergence of rubbish (assuming "rubbish" is disposable objects ridded ...

In the world of Jane Austen adaptations, Joe Wright’s 2005 film Pride and Prejudice proves itself incredibly innovative in its approach. Prior attempts at adapting Austen works, including Pride, focus on a clean-cut, ornate and incredibly stately world of Victorian England, with upper-class characters spending the entire film in eloquent settings and speaking in decidedly unapproachable manners. Wright, along with screenwriter Deborah Moggach, eschew this aesthetic in order to provide their adaptation of Pride and Prejudice with a more casual, approachable take on the classic Jane Austen romance, complete with a greater emphasis on naturalism, grit and approachability. ...

For Lamott, all writers experience obstacles related to their written works. In turn, Lamott referred to first drafts as those that tend to reflect the obstacles of all writers towards producing the final version of their written works (Lamott, 1994).

My impression of the novel is a book capable of inducing the feeling of eroticism, sexual energy, danger, and suspense all at the same time.

Indeed, the writer follows the modern tradition of presenting vampires as a romantic, erotic and elegant species rather than some demonic creature. The character of Sookie Stackhouse is indeed a very intricate one the more I read about her and the more I become familiar with her personality the more ...

As a luxury brand, Moet and Chandon targets customers who can afford a lifestyle accessorized with fancy champagne that translates a bourgeois status quo. As a result of the merger of Moet and Chandon with Louis Vuitton in 1987 (Blavin, Dghaili, Morselly & Tesseire, 2010), the spirit brand was positioned as a “must have” beverage, just as Luis Vuitton represents a mandatory brand that has to be present in high society ladies’ wardrobes.

Japanese writing uses both Kanji and Kana. Kana includes both Hiragana and Katakana alphabets. A long time ago, there was no alphabet in Japan, so the characters for writing were borrowed from neighboring China. As ancient China was then ruled by the Han (Kan) Dynasty, all the characters were called Kanji and the Chinese writing is called Kanbun. Because kanji has many strokes, it takes a very long time to write and to memorize. Thus, the Japanese invented the Hiragana and Katakana. Women used the Hiragana alphabet in creating their letters and diaries. An example of the literature written in ...

Literature as a Way to Express Immigration and Ethnicity

When exploring the varying attributes of immigration and its connection to ethnicity and national identity, one of the best ways to examine these issues is through literature. While literature does not provide the objectivity of facts and figures, narrative fiction in literature provides endless avenues for subjective, thematic discussion about the broader emotional and human issues surrounding topics like immigration. A number of fantastic works tackling themes of immigration help to reach the core of the issues that immigrants must face in their new country, particularly as they relate to generation gaps and cultural acclimation. Social sciences and ...

If you believe the archaeologists and historians, art itself emerged in the Upper Paleolithic.

Being an art enthusiast is much easier in the twenty-first century, than it used to be in Johannes Vermeer's time. Imagine Amsterdam without queues near famous exhibitions, almost total absence of private galleries or critical reviews in the newspapers about a new artist and his genuine talent.

Contemporary art lovers love this period, they spend time looking for new paintings, make research about lives of Dutch artists, we know so little about and decide whether a new discovered ...

Philosophy has been one of the defining disciplines and characteristics of Western culture.

Notably, Friedrich Nietzsche was very critical of this father of philosophy and many others in his Twilight of the Idols. A line-by-line analysis of a paragraph from this book ...

This religious conflict was not bloodless; the Peasant’s revolution in Germany and the Thirty Year War are indicative of the disastrous results of ...

Throughout the book, several characters discuss the differences between Western and Eastern ways of painting. Two major parts of that difference are style and anonymity. One initial difference lies in the purpose of painting. As Enishte says, “Every picture serves to tell a story If there’s something within the text that our intellect and imagination are at pains to conjure, the illustration comes at once to our aid But painting without its accompanying story is an impossibility” (Pamuk, 27). In the Eastern view, art exists to serve the story, not as something worth existing in and of itself. Likewise, ...
