Introduction

In the book, “The Behavior of Law” Donald Black tries to explain how the conduct of law is a social phenomenon. Black describes a general, quantitative and predictive theory that describes the various conditions within which law is applied or can be applied. Black argues that since law is a social phenomenon, it does not take into account the human nature concept. As such, law can be explained without incorporating a person’s motivations or any other psychological motivations. This means that the theory does not take into account the rationality of human beings and also the goals and ...

Rhetorical Analysis

In the contemporary world, a class of people in society and their race often determine the level of their life, their opportunities and the attitude of others towards them. Unfortunately, in the most cases, people with different skin color and low material welfare often face misunderstanding, neglect, loneliness as well as mocking and even bullying. According to the modern general stereotype, in the world of success there is no place for such people. One of such persons is Bell Hooks, a modern author, writer and representative of the feminist movement. In her article, Learning in the Shadow of Race ...

Music – Song Critic

Introduction Greensleeves is amazingly a beautiful song sung by Loreena McKennitt. The song is from the album “The Visit”. The album was released in 1991. It is one of few most memorable songs for me. The song appeals thousands of music lovers like me for its ultimate romantic feelings. It’s a plea of a lover, who has been rejected by his beloved. I like this song because of its fine combination of romantic and melancholy note. The deep feelings of the lover are accompanied by the perpetual velvet voice of Loreena McKennitt. The way she sings, creates an ...

Having received the task to analyze some psychological issue, I immediately thought of examination the reasons lying at the foundation of children’s emotional and psychological stability. In my personal persuasion this subject is of utmost importance in terms of finding out the origin of a human psycho type and emotion regulation. Moreover, the novelty and relevance of the subject gets more obvious in terms of the vague and pure examination of this area of academic knowledge. It is no denying that effective emotion regulation is an indispensable factor of a child’s auspicious and healthy psychological evolution. Nevertheless, ...

Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, though well-written poetically, does not live up to its name. It is neither a poem about love nor is it a song. The poem simply expresses Prufrock’s indecision about life and women. Interpretation of the entire poem must rely on the epigraph for a complete understanding of Eliot’s intent and theme. The theme of indecision runs consistently through the point of view Eliot chose, as well as through setting, characters, tone and the use of repetition, imagery and metaphors. The poem begins with an epigraph borrowed from Dante’ ...

I chose to study the (name of the classroom) classroom as an observer under the teacher (name of a teacher) and direction of (name of the center’s director).

“Two kinds” is a short story authored by Amy Tan. Tan creates the romantic concept of cultural origins and touches on lost ethnic essence to reconfigure and radically undercut notion of ethnic essence. The story is about a mother and daughter who abandon their culture to embrace the American Dream in the hope that anyone in America can succeed. At the root of the story is protagonist’s interpersonal dissonance brought about by the phenomenon of mass immigration. Tan manages to bring out clearly deception of complexities in mother-daughter relationships but focusing on disruptive distance between mothers originating from ...

An Analytic Review

In Robert Hayden’s “Those Winter Sundays” we get a glimpse of the author’s childhood relationship with his father. In this work, Hayden describes a child’s view of a father from a now-adult perspective. His regret is evident, and the sadness in his voice rings down the corridors of time. “Those Winter Sundays” begin with a description of Hayden’s father rising in the early hours even on “Sundays too” (1), letting the reader know he gets up every morning in the same way. Using consonance, Hayden drives home both the hour and the temperature, noting “the ...

Up from Slavery is an autobiography of Booker T. Washington, which came out by the dawn of the twentieth century. It is different in a way that a Black author has used humor to highlight slavery than use misery and suffering to talk about it. He wants his readers to believe that slavery was as much useful for the black population as it was to white population. Washington adopts a positive approach that involves humor, in discussing the African American struggle. His indifference to racial riots, black killings, and protests make him a ‘destructive’ social activist, whereas, his positive ...

Life is unpredictable and you cannot decide upon your fate, but your own attitude. I can understand that you are going through a troublesome phase of your life as you have split from your husband but blaming him or his family for this sad incident will not take you anywhere.

We Can Remember It for You Wholesale (Phillip K. Dick) – Air Raid (John Varley). ‘We Can Remember It for You Wholesale’ is a futuristic short story written by Phillip K. Dick, centered on the concept of memory manipulation. It takes on the undiscovered fields of new age science. The concepts involved in the short story are so complex and underdeveloped even in this age and time. But still the author immaculately and ostentatiously nails his narrative. In the same sense, ‘Air Raid’ written by John Varley, seems to be the perfect match for the pairing. Both these short stories ...

Feminism is described as the belief that both men and women should have equal rights in all areas of life socially, economically and politically. What does it mean to be a feminist in the Caribbean countries? Does it bear the hallmarks of global feminism? I will attempt to answer these questions by drawing my arguments on this issue mainly from two sources. One is by Gabrielle Hosein, who talks about why the feminist movement has been slow to take in the Caribbean. She writes, "Examining the Caribbean consumption of North American-produced feminist knowledge, I demonstrate why ideas, critiques and ...

Carson McCullers wrote and published ’’The Ballad of the Sad Café’’ in 1951. The story revolves around three main characters. These characters are Miss Amelia Evans, her former husband and Cousin Lymon. In this paper, I will analyze only one passage from the book. What makes this passage interesting is the style of writing. The author tells us his story as a flask back. He uses the present tense in the first few paragraphs, but then switches to the past tense for the rest of the passage. However, this is not the only thing that makes this passage interesting. ...

Genre Analysis

Literary genres are identified in large part by their view, structure, and tone. Chapters 6 -8 of our text, Essentials of College Writing, deal with the qualities of different genres: personal writing, persuasive writing, and expository writing. Each of these has qualities particular to that type of writing. In personal writing, the writer uses the first person point of view because they are speaking directly to the reader, explaining the writer’s own thoughts and feelings. This is a subjective genre because it is dependent on the writer’s perspective. They are structured linearly flowing from beginning through the ...

What is most interesting about Connie is the fact that her character will always be modern. She will always be a prototype of a liberated American girl. She wears flat ballerina slippers and shorts as well as interesting blouses. Her long dark blond hair attracts attention as well as the way she walks. She is young, reckless, a little bit vain and free-spirited. I respect the choices her character makes because everything she does is for her own pleasure and it is also a part of growing up. Connie makes her own decisions and that is good because she ...

The rich and dramatic colors used by Rubens in Massacre of the Innocents show that he is clearly influenced by Italian ...

A Rose for Emily embodies the comic cannon of the use of obscenity within the spectrum of culture and time. By recognizing the proper reaction and effect that obscene elements have of the social, cultural understanding of the audience, the foundational consideration should be in making such scenes to be less ambiguous and exhibit less perplexing experiences. This paper establishes the extent to which obscenity should be banned from the existing comic canon. The baseline of this essay is to highlight the need for a regulatory framework for addressing the respect for undisguised and open commentary on social spiritual ...

Summary and Response:

Chapter 12 titled “How Do I Read Poetry” teaches the student or the reader that the proper way of interpreting a poem is by first understanding the literal meaning of the phrases and words used in a particular poem. After that, it is time to look beyond what is obvious and read between the lines. There are two subheadings under chapter 12 and they discuss the two steps that must be done in order to interpret a poem. The first step includes understanding the literal meaning by reading it aloud. As mentioned in the chapter, “reading aloud will force ...

It is expected that, at one point in our lives, we have read the story of Cinderella or Hamlet or even both. Cinderella is a common bedtime story for children, most especially for the girls, while Hamlet is a favorite subject of literary reading for most students in their literature classes. Due to the popularity of both these stories, they have been adapted in movies and plays for a lot of times already. Different plot variations or twists have also been already made to both stories to adapt to the ever changing audience considering that these stories have already ...

The idea that slavery poisons socioeconomic development and, therefore, prosperity of enslaved nations has been cited and repeated in academic quarters so often that it has become a platitude, assuming the aura of conventional wisdom. Indeed, whereas slavery augmented the riches of the slave-trading states and supported the labor force of the states on the receiving end of this phenomenon, it had debilitating and far-reaching consequences for the enslaved states. Projecting these simple empirically-grounded assumptions onto the case of Ghana and other West African states, it appears that slavery deprived these societies of their most productive members, leaving a trail of ...

When black South Africans lived under harsh conditions of apartheid imposed by white people, the rest of the world had little knowledge of what was going on in South Africa. In his short story, “Mrs. Plum,” Es’kia Mphahlele confronts this ignorance by describing a typical life record of a black servant, Karabo, working for a white madam, Mrs. Plum, in a segregated environment of the white Greenside in the suburbs of Johannesburg. Mphahlele attempts to create a full immersion of his readers into the everyday routine of South African residents by showing the reality through the eyes of Karabo rather than ...

The tone of this sonnet is dark and melancholy. It is filled with imagery which puts an emphasis on the madness of the subject, as well as the sadness of the poet for being trapped in her life and wanting the freedom the madman has. The structure of the sonnet, the descriptive adjectives used as well as other vocabulary, and the figurative language employed in it all provide a backdrop of misery and gloom.

Musical Devices

The most prominent musical device which is immediately apparent on first reading the sonnet is the rhyming words. As with sonnets of the ...

CHAPTER REVIEW

Jane Tompkins explains what does ‘Planting a naysayer’ means. It is the strategy of improving a piece of writing by introducing the anticipated arguments and justifications. She explains that, in the process of writing a piece of work, everything goes smoothly. However, in the middle of the process, doubts and fears may arise about how the work will be perceived by the readers; possible arguments which may arise and anticipation of criticisms. Ignoring this thought and moving over with the writing will be a big mistake, says the author. Instead, the entire work needs to be read through and incorporate all possible arguments ...

John Frederick Nims’ “Love Poem” and William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 130” are two different poems that are separated by four centuries, but the poets have successfully presented the “ideal” poems to represent the “ideal woman” in a grounded world with all her flaws. The poems reflect that love on the surface is superficial when compared to the inner beauty of a loved one. Honesty and integrity are more effective when dealing with true love.

William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 130”, was probably written to ridicule the traditional love poem that showed women as divine angelic creatures with no flaws. Shakespeare recognizes ...

Myself, along with four other students, comprised a group whose primary duties were to provide consultation for the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) of our university. The primary question was to determine whether or not it was feasible for the university to offer qualifications in management and leadership, as well as how much this qualification was in demand. My experience with the client consultancy project saw my group of five students come together successfully as a team in order to achieve these goals. While there were issues with communication and work ethic that needed to be addressed at first, our attitudes and ...

The non-verbal communication is an implicit way of delivering a message when the communicator is explicitly using words or not. Non-verbal communications could be intentional or not but ultimately affect interpersonal communication and the quality of work produced in many ways (Alberts Et al.2012). When conducting group meetings to deliberate on how to forge forward with the group project, we constantly communicate; strategize give opinions and inputs to ensure that we are in agreement. Non-verbal communication cues such as facial expressions, the gestures given by various body languages, and variation of voices are of equal importance as the ...

Hart Crane's "To Brooklyn Bridge" is a rare poem that effectively uses diction to convey the immensity of something as large as a bridge. "To Brooklyn Bridge" is much more than a dedication to the famous bridge. The poem's word choice represents the grandiosity of the bridge itself. Its diction and tone combine to achieve a quintessential work that accurately depicts the size and importance of the Brooklyn bridge to New Yorkers and non-New Yorkers alike.

In the first stanza, Crane asks a question in a rather inquisitive tone. "How many dawns, chill from his rippling rest/The seagull’ ...

A Presentation

My presentation today is about two well-known Australian poems which are both broadly anti-war in their overall message, but were written in different periods and use different poetic techniques to convey the poet’s emotions and thoughts. ‘The Trains’ by Judith Wright was written during the Second World War when the threat of a Japanese invasion of the north of Australia was seen as a real possibility. ‘Homecoming’ by Bruce Dawe was written in response to Australian involvement in the Vietnam War in the late 1960s and early 70s.

Each poem’s title gives no hint of its actual subject ...

It is no doubt that Maya Angelou is a force to reckon with when it comes to matters poetry. She is a poetic giant who infuses many themes and symbolic meanings in her works. Her readers well understand her genre, and the language that she uses in her works is easy to decipher. In her poem ‘Africa,’ she talks about the oppression of Africa and its people by European forces by turning them into slaves. She uses imagery in order to personify Africa to elicit the tone and imagery of this particular poem. Representing Africa as a beautiful woman gives the continent a ...

With dark red lipstick, a tight lipped lady storms into the office and takes her seat, pushing her bag to the corner she glares at her computer. Her co-workers stand up to inquire, but receive a blunt “I am fine” reply. This contradiction between her nonverbal and verbal language leaves a confusing message for all. Such confusion definitely gives more value to the nonverbal message being communicated to others. Similarly, while giving a presentation in a conference room having the top management of an organization, talking on the subject of downsizing, let suppose a female presenter formally dressed stands up to speak.

All those who work in the field of linguistics or related subjects must be aware of the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, language shapes our thoughts, it influences our culture and the way we see the world. This idea became very popular and led to the belief that there are as many worldviews as there are languages. However, John H. McWhorter, in his book “The Language Hoax: Why the World Looks the same in any Language” has disproved the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis; he posits that language reflects culture and the speaker’s worldview; it offers a cultural viewpoint of the ...

I began my journey as a writer when I wrote my first draft ‘Nightfall’ three months back. While writing that short story, I didn’t understand how a story had to be written and there were plenty of grammatical and structural mistakes.

In the speech, I went beyond the critical and conventional academic research and deployed rhetoric to express my disappointment with the situation of pollution in China. The speech effectively employed pathos, logos and ethos to drive the point home and call for action. I use the tone of disappointment to argue that pollution is immoral, inhumane and driven by corporate that do not have the future generations in mind. Through pathos and the tone of hope, I urge the Chines to rise up speak against until the government comes up with effective laws and policies to handle the situation. ...
