That smell. I can remember quite well. How can I forget! How could she know? There must be a place, I thought, somewhere. The hair is so dense and all over me I can barely see. That could have made me mad at her. Now, being carried away back to what are distant memories, I just do not bother. The smell! Years ago, in a distant country, Oman, I would wake up to a stubborn sun penetrating my glass window. Given to poking, I would sit up on bed and prepare for a daily ritual. Of all places, I ...

Beowulf

- Neidorf, Leonard. 'Beowulf Before Beowulf: Anglo-Saxon Anthroponymy and Heroic Legend'. The Review of English Studies (2012): 108. Print.

This article questions the true identity of Beowulf. The author says that the true nature of the eponymous hero remains disputed, and wonders whether Beowulf was a part of the ancient traditional heroes. He suggests that the name ‘Biuuulf’ (Beowulf) was from the seventh century, and that the legend of Beowulf existed well before the composition of our extant poem.2.

The four articles summarized and discussed in this annotated bibliography were selected because they deal with some of the civilizations of the first Americans, the Aztecs in particular. There always seems to be a lot of information and research into Western and pre-Western archaeology and anthropology, such as studies about Celtic, Roman, and Egyptian culture and mythology, but less about pre-Columbian America. All four of these articles were selected from peer-reviewed journals. Journals were selected instead of a book because it seemed like the best way to get a general idea about some very diverse topics regarding the Aztecs. Topics for three ...

President John F Kennedy has remained a legend for various reasons. First and foremost his assassination after just three years into his Presidency created that aura of invincibility about him apart from the ‘what might have been’ mantra which continues to prevail up to this day. Although his assassination was obviously crucial in creating a demi God out of him, one has to consider the fact that Kennedy was already a hugely popular President and had built up considerable political capital ever since his election in 1960. The closeness of that election is forgotten by many since there were only around ...

Sometimes, it only takes one great act in history, or one great story for a hero to emerge. Such is the case with the Greek story Iliad, and the historical events in Jerusalem during the time of the crusades. To say that the heroes of these stories do not have anything in common, is a denial of the natural order of things. Both have somehow made a stamp in history, and both are touted as heroes, even up to this day.

Achilles is one of the many heroes in the Greek story Iliad. According to the story, he was recruited by Odysseus ...

The fable dates back to the writings of ancient Greece, which featured the prolific works of Aesop, and even to the Old Testament, which features the fable of the serpent. What all fables have in common is the use of animals, creatures of myth, or natural forces which are given traits of humans for a brief time. The action of the fable expresses some sort of lesson, and fables often end with these lessons restated as a short sentence. One of the most famed fable tellers of the twentieth century is Dr. Seuss, whose wide range of animated books featuring a wide ...

Essay #1

Galeano monograph Open Veins in Latin America explores the history of colonial conquest. Exploitation of Latin America’s natural resources and people helped to foster the industrial capitalist development in Europe or in the United States in the following ways.

If I had to choose a legend in the world of boxing, this title would definitely belong to Muhammad Ali, as no other person stayed even barely close to the great man of all times. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” is an expression, that became Muhammad Ali’s calling card, and later was developed into a boxing tactics for many amateurs and professionals.

However, it was his accurate prophecies regarding the history of Britain and the rise and fall of its three kings that made him a legendary ...

Introduction

The literature and art of a given era often portray the beliefs and views of the societies.

Article Summary: The Biblical Context of “Ethan Brand”

This article by Stock (1965) discusses the short story “Ethan Brand: A Chapter from an Abortive Romance” by Hawthorne (1850, 1852), specifically considering the Biblical context. He states that the story’s primary source is the Bible, and that whilst the most obvious biblical allusion is “to the concept of the Unpardonable Sin”, closer perusal of the tale shows that there are other, more complex allusions, the main one associated with the narrative of Cain and his character as encapsulated in legend (p.115). Stock also notes that Hawthorne’s choice of the name Ethan positions the character in a ...

America is a frontier country, it is part of our identity. As soon as settlers reached the New World they starting heading west in search of opportunities, adventure and resources.

The stories gradually unfold the intricacies of the encounters of humans and intelligent robots, whose views on the world are very different. The meeting of two dissimilar kinds of mind produces difficulties both for the robots and people, and ...

This is a great application to Sternberg’s triangular model of love. “Thank You” is a good song where it may be applied, although it is one that may be seen as overused and clichéd. Undoubtedly, love and close and intimate relationships play a crucial role in our individual well-being, but there is a need for a complete picture of Sternberg’s theory. Passion can only go so far before it fizzles out. Therefore, intimacy and commitment are also necessary for any relationship to blossom. John Legend’s “All of Me” is certainly a great song that exemplifies the passion that the singer ...

The onset of jazz music was a luxurious and monumental thing for New Orleanians. Though music was essential to life in New Orleans throughout the nineteenth century, no sound that welcomed everybody.

During the 1870’s could be heard everywhere. New Orleans was filled with the folky sounds inspired by European immigrants, and the distinct beats of African and Caribbean inspired musicians.

What was left of German national pride prevalent throughout the duration of the Second Reich fell into shambles when the Treaty of Versailles came into effect – an agreement that sought to magnify the accountability of Germany for the damages caused by the First World War.

Introduction

The life and death of Grigori Rasputin has become something of a legend. Its historical significance and truthfulness is not fully authenticated, with some stories embellished or plainly misremembered. There are little facts between the night he disappeared and the day his body was retrieved from the river (King, p. 10). The official police investigation reported a solved murder case even when it was not the real case. Hence, the world is left with Rasputin’s memoirs and the names of his killers, Felix Yusupovand and Vladimir Purishkevich (Trounev, p. 12). As the Soviets came into power, most of the documents ...

Edgar Allen Poe was a great storyteller and one of the most important fiction horror story writers of his age. He was also credited with inventing the detective story when he came out with his Auguste Lupin character that was based in Paris and is rather a forerunner of Sherlock Holmes. In fact three of the classic Dupin cases; ‘The Purloined Letter’, ‘Murders in the Rue Morgue’and ‘The Mystery of Marie Roget depict three classic situations which continue to affirm the point that Poe was the father of the detective novel. However this makes us observe the clarity with which ...
