The two towns Herculaneum and Pompeii together with some other small towns and villages that were located south of Italy were covered in 24 hrs by disastrous eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The catastrophe terminated the life in the cities but preserved them and they were later rediscovered approximately 1,700 years later. Arguably, these were ordinary roman cities that ended in an extraordinary way and therefore they have become a reflection through which historian can view and understand the entire roman civilization.

According to Capasso and Gabriella (996), the history of Rome together with its empires covers thousands years. ...

- While I was surprised by the extent of the ‘prize’ at the end, its negative nature became obvious when Mrs. Hutchinson started her protestations about the drawing being unfair.

1. Raisins and raisin bran

The raisins in raisin bran do not settle at the bottom of a box or other container for two reasons. First, they are of smaller sizes than the raisins. If the raisins are placed in a container followed by the bran, the bran would slip though the spaces and go to the bottom. However, if the bran are placed first in the container and the raisins last, the raisins cannot slip through the bran no matter how one shakes the container. The second reason is that while individual pieces of bran are much lighter than the raisins, their total weight is ...

In contemporary interconnected and interdependent world, meaning comprehension of one country in the region might resolve the problems diplomacy or military actions could not resolve.

In this regard, culture becomes a crucial element for comprehension of the situation in its complexity and interdisciplinary framework.

The humor in Stephen Crane’s ‘The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky’ derives largely from the fact that the story is a parody of similar stories about life on the lawless American frontier, and through his parody Crane mocks the stereotypical conventions of such stories and also defeats the reader’s expectations by ending the story in an original, unexpected and comic way. The first sequence of the story which describes Marshal Potter and his new bride on the train to Yellow Sky is full of subtle social humor. The narrative implies that they are a slightly odd couple: he ...

In ‘A Rose for Emily’ William Faulkner uses the first person plural – ‘we’ – to narrate the story, and it is as if this unnamed, pluralized narrator speaks for the whole town in telling the story of Emily Grierson’s life. There is only one very significant moment when Faulkner switches from ‘we’ to ‘they.’ Overall, when the reader reaches the end of the story, it can be seen that Faulkner uses this unusual narrative device to satirize the town and to criticize its attitudes. Emily Grierson lives a solitary life, but comes from a formerly rich and important family. Because ...

The metropolis is seen as the seat of the economy. It is where money is centralized and it is where the seat of governance has been placed.

Metropolis is seen as the highest form of society where quantitative values are set high and material purchases are of importance. A metropolitan society may never be referred as the heart of a nation, and it exists where power is centralized due to higher economic value. By this, money has become the ...

Introduction

Almost Maine is a wonderful heartfelt play by New York playwright John Cariani about the extraordinary tales of love that take place in the town of Almost, Maine. The assertion of this play is that all of these stories across the town take place at the stroke of 9:00 with the northern lights illuminating the slightly surreal, cold and northern night. John Cariani throws magical realism to the bittersweet love scenes in his play with original, sentimental and ultimately pleasant entertainment. Most of the characters in the play are eccentric, but all of them fit well into the small and ...
