Analysis of the President’s Obamas Iowa Victory Speech

President Obama’s Iowa Caucus victory speech was an inductive argument predisposed on a given number of premises. These premises held the note of his speech and kept the public into a belief that his premise would be fulfilled upon assumption of Presidency in the USA. In as much as this speech was anchored on giving gratitude to the Iowa delegates and citizens for overwhelmingly endorsing his candidature as a Democratic presidential torchbearer, it was deeply entrenched on the following premises:

Abolition of tax breaks for companies that ship American jobs of overseas, and instigate a middle-class tax cut, ...

Introduction

The commencement and ending of Homer’s epic poem the Iliad depict a rational existence of humans before and after the interference of the immortal beings respectively. The middle passages are different as they present a palpable yet gradual build up of human emotions that warrant an alliance with the gods and goddesses in the text. In turn, a paradox emerges in the depiction of the relationships between the mortals and the immortals in the Homeric poem: the gods are necessary for Homer’s presentation of the humans, but they are also to blame for the unstable attitudes and ...

William Wordsworth’s famous lyrical ballad “The Solitary Reaper” tells a story from Wordsworth’s wanderings through the Scottish Highlands (Poetryfoundation.org). As Wordsworth and his companions wander the countryside, they come across a young Scottish maiden singing to herself in a field as she cuts the grain that she sowed earlier in the season. Wordsworth seems transfixed by the beauty of her song, and he stops to listen to her sing in the field; although the initial reaction of the speaker is to the beauty of the voice and song of the young woman, the speaker—ostensibly Wordsworth himself, although this is ...

DO WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF MEDIA INFOTAINMENT AND MELODRAMATIC REPORTAGE?

Introduction For the past 4 decades, the role of the media has been in the process of transforming. Traditionally, the role of the media has been purely on performing an informative role concerning various events taking place across the globe. This phenomena is commonly known as the provision of hard news where the reporter presents the facts to the viewers they way they occurred.

The media houses have been shifting from the traditional methods ...

In Christianity, discipleship is defined as the process of accepting the ethic and life of Jesus Christ, who brought hope and eternal life to humanity through the gospel.

This definition is evident in what Christians refer to as the ‘Great Commission’: Jesus directed the twelve to travel around the world and make disciples. This was a call by Jesus for ...

Poetry is an apt form for expressing inner sentiments, which can sometimes seem impossible to relate to others. When a person sees beauty, it is an individual impression. But through poetry, removed and subjective notions can be explored. William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 18” and John Keats' “Ode on a Grecian Urn” both relate a concept of, love, beauty in art, and its weathering time. As will be shown, both Shakespeare and Keats convey these concepts in unique ways. Comparing and contrasting these two widely recited and studied works allows one to get to the heart of how they use the poetic form ...

During the Victorian era, there were assumptions that were made with regard to women in society. Some of the attributes that were associated with women included purity, cleanness and principally disassociated from sexual connotations. They were only expected to perform domestic duties within their households. In a poem written by Alfred Lord Tennyson in 1842, The Lady of Shalott, it is clear that there is a major separation of gender roles between men and women and they each had a personal space just meant for them. A good example is when in the poem talks of the lady’s interior and ...

Abstract

Trichomonas gallinae, a flagellated protozoan, adversely affects the avian livestock, particularly the columbids. It causes an infection called necrotic ingluvitis and the disease can range from asymptomatic to lethal. The parasite affects the anterior gastrointestinal tract of the bird, forms granulomatous lesions, and blocks the oesophagus, making the bird starve, thus leading to death. The virulence of the strain varies with some strains causing up to 75% mortality. In UK, the infection was first recognized as an emerging infectious disease of British finches in summer of 2005. The sick dead birds exhibited signs of malaise such as lethargy and fluffed-up ...

The image of Grand Odalisque is one of the historical images painted in 1814 by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. The image depicts the end of neoclassicism and the beginning of Romanticism era. The nude figure of the woman in the picture has a remarkable poor sense of human anatomy’s proportionality. Taking a close look at the picture, it is evident that the artist exaggerated some of the human features in the painting as opposed to the real features of a woman.

Exaggerations in the Painting

The head of the figure in the painting is relatively small compared to the mass of the body. The hands ...

The myth of the Gorgon Medusa and her slaying by the brave and handsome hero, called Perseus, is one that has inhabited literature and art ever since the ancient times. This is because it carries within itself all the essentials of mythological, iconographical schemata: the handsome hero, the terrifying monster and the final salvation of the beautiful damsel in distress. It is a magical story of a quest of a young man, who reaches manhood through his decapitation of the monster Medusa.

This “Medusan” theme will continue to enchant artists, becoming something of an iconograph, especially for the Romantics: “This glassy-eyed, severed ...

Realities of Love and Adultery in Christian Courts

Within the Christian world view, much has been discussed about adultery. The Ten Commandments include a direct condemnation--Thou shalt not commit adultery--and indirectly--Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife. However, adultery is common throughout history and throughout society. In the Christian world, although frowned upon by the church, consensual adultery is a common sin amongst Christians. In several of the Lais attributed to Marie de France a theme of romantic love and adultery exists. Marie shows us that even in the middle ages, at least at the courts of nobility, there was a reality of adultery. However, like all sins, even if they ...

Both poems express the griefs of speakers who have lost their loves, discuss the similarities and differences in the methods of these poems and the ideas they suggest.

Both ‘The Raven’ and ‘Annabel Lee’ deal with the speaker’s memories of a loved one and both, perhaps necessarily because of their subject matter, reveal an obsession with death. Poe, to a certain extent, uses similar methods in both poems and yet the tone and mood of each poem is rather different, and, this essay will argue, the effect on the reader is different as well.

Both poems make extensive use of ...
