- 1523: Psychology Comparison
- ... based solely on the study and what was discovered from it. The Times makes much use of quotes both from the researchers themselves as well as other psychologists in the community. It also adds a personal dimension by interviewing actual participants in the study. Their personal opinions, of course, have little to do with the overall sample results. It does, however, provide a more intimate appeal to the average reader. The tone of the articles is, in fact, in direct relation to the audience to which each is directed.

At least a basic understanding of psychological terms and concepts was assumed in the writing of the article. Furthermore, the use of extensive details to support their claims may have been used to sway a naturally skeptical audience. The Times article, on the other hand, was written mainly for ...

So Heaney dedicates his life to writing.Digging is written primarily about what Heaney sees through the window, Under my window So the poem is based on sight. However, the poet uses the other three senses to emphasize what he sees. For ... pen as he is with a gun. The poet is also saying that a gun is snug . Now for me there is nothing snug about a gun, this could imply that the poet is uncomfortable writing but I don t think that is the case. I think that it s more likely that Seamus Heaney feels comfortable around guns. Also since snug seems to imply that something has been around for ... I found the poem lacking in a consistant style. However when I looked at the hidden meanings and all the different ways Heaney conveys his feelings. I realized that the poem is obviously a very personal one. He seems to use his poetry to help him remember certain aspects of his past and childhood. He gets the reader to really understand the way of life for him, his Father and ...

- 1527: What Is Postmodernism
- ... of the common strands of thinking in postmodernism concentrating mainly on the writings of Jean-Francois Lyotard and Jean Baudrillard. I shall then consider the view of David Harvey, a Marxist many consider to be writing in the postmodern tradition, who argues that post-modernism is just another form of capitalism. Having analysed his argument I shall conclude by giving my own personal view of post-modernism and by showing that by its very nature it is virtually impossible to come up with one single all encompassing definition. The term postmodernism was first used in relation to architecture ... in London, as accepting as we would like to think society is of different points of view, there are still many groups who remain resistant to such groups. Baudrillard, despite being very abstract in his writing, makes many valid points, however it is difficult to completely accept his notions of the demise of power.
