- 2241: Comparison: Dover Beach And Do
- ... When has there ever been a serious poem that used the word "etc.?" It just seems misplaced and out of sorts in a poem. People simply do not normally use a word like that in writing, perhaps because it is so impersonal when usually poems are written with the intention of being very personal. Or perhaps it is just because a word like that doesn't really say much, and most poetic verses have each word strategically placed to the point that even words like "is" have a meaning ...
- 2242: Candide 3
- ... set back in the times of kings and queens, barons, lords and other titles. The author, Voltaire, who was born Francios-Marie Arouet, was very critical and suspicious of government and officials. He used his writing talens to make fun of them or criticize abuses of the time. In the middle of the 18th century, Voltaire turned against the popular philosophy of optimism because of a tragic earthquake in Lisbon, Portugal ... happening for the best and that is what made me like her more than any other character. She was truly a good person, even though she turned ugly from all the ordeals she suffered. My personal view of optimism is that it is very unrealistic. I see the glass of water as being half empty, but I do always HOPE for the best. I just don t expect it. I believe ...
- 2243: Comparison Of Shakespeare Shal
- ... Summer s Day? ; Shakespeare never fails to lose the interest of the reader. The simple, Shakespearean sonnet format of three quatrains and one rhyming couplet contributes to this fact. To me it s the romantic writing and the message within the poem, that internal beauty is immortal and somewhat priceless, which is still relevant to this day is what touches the hearts and plays with the emotions of today s reader ... s but it is a memory of stark contrast to what the title may lead you to believe. The poem is made up of seven three lined stanzas with a solitary line ending. Heaney is writing about the death of his younger brother, which happened while he was at boarding school. The poem has a deep meaning. It is an expression of grief, a young person s perspective of life and ... that happen at funerals like the shaking of his hand and the old men telling him they were sorry for his trouble. These details, no matter how minute or insignificance tell us that Heaney is writing from the heart, these experiences are real life things and have, do and will happen. The role of the baby in the poem could be to show the contrast between innocence and death. The ...
- 2244: Chopin And Ravel
- ... of the nineteenth century Romantic movement, which placed emphasis on individual feelings and emotions. It can be hypothesized that Chopin remained as a proponent of the Romantic Period in his compositional style, whilst Ravel, however, writing in the twentieth century, reverted to the Classical styles on occasions to gratify his own fascinations. Through the comparison of the musical elements of Chopin¡¦s Ballade in G minor, Op23 and Ravel¡¦s Alborada ... do not overcome his affinity for the clean melodic contours, distinct rhythms and firm structures of Classicism. He felt that technical mastery of his craft was of more importance and value than the expression of personal feelings. Amongst the many composers, Ravel admired Chopin for the richness of Chopin¡¦s harmonic sensibility, yet he loved Mozart. Ravel said ¡§I have always drawn inspiration generously from masters. I have never stopped studying ...
- 2245: Irish Literature And Rebellion
- ... leader. O’Leary had been a Young Irelander and fought in the insurrection of 1849. He took Yeats under his wing and introduced him to the world of fenians and fenianism. His influence on Yeats’ writing is undeniable. Yeats began to write “in the way of [Sir Samuel] Ferguson and [James Clarence] Mangan” and evolve his nationalism and anti-English sentiment (O’Connor, 165). Yeats, like Ferguson, saw “literature in Irish ... of war. Although he was politically active, his focus was more on the cultural and literary realms than on a violent rebellion “At the end of his life he was still wondering if his early writing had helped to seed the rising, to ‘send out / Certain men the English shot’ (“The Man and the Echo, lines 11-12”)” (DLB 19, 420). [I was unable to find a copy of “The Man ... memory of Parnell” (Joyce, 116). Through the words and verses of Yeats and Joyce and all the writers of the Irish Literary Renaissance, the memories of the brave have survived. The purpose of the their writing was to kindle the patriotic flame of the Irish and work towards a united Ireland. In the troubles of today, the memory of the sacrifices of yesterday are still strong within the culture and ...
- 2246: Iron And Silk
- ... a wonderful job of illustrating the people of China. He brought to life a corner of the world that we would rarely be able to see, outside of picture books. His representation is a very personal one, taking you beyond the scenery and into the action and heartache. Throughout this book, Salzman expertly reveals the personality and spirit of the Chinese people. He does this with his own type of special imagery. He drops in enough key details and leaves the rest to your imagination. This caused me to pay close attention to what was going on. His style of writing makes you feel like you are right there beside him, participating in each of his many escapades. I was influenced by the dedication his teachers had for their chosen artform and will remind myself to ...
- 2247: Into The Wild By Jon Krakauer
- ... and both enjoyed the outdoors. Neither one got along with their fathers with tremendous ease and both found ways to escape the restrictions that were put on them by society. Krakauer found his outlet by writing in outdoor magazines and by writing novels. He was able to survive his trips but he was close to death a couple times also. Once he decided to climb a mountain that had never been climbed before called Devils Thumb. Just ... was too dangerous, he lived life to the fullest no matter what anyone said. I think the author is envious of this and that is why he decided to write a novel on Chris after writing an article on him in a magazine first. Chris McCandless or Alexander Supertramp either name cannot describe the incredible person that he was. He left on a trip that would change his life forever ...
- 2248: Collective Unconscious In Haml
- ... years. I will provide proof of this hypothesis through parallels between Jung’s work and the play. Carl Jung believed that the structure of the human psyche is comprised of three main parts: the conscious, personal unconscious and the collective unconscious (refer to figure 1). The conscious is basically the function or activity which maintains the relation of psychic contents with the ego or one’s state of awareness. Personal unconscious consists of experiences or memories that can be recalled by an individual, either through the will of the person or by employing special technique (e.g. Hypnosis). The final part of the psyche is ... anima and animus archetypes are present; this is also known as a "soul-image". The archetypal figure of the soul-image always stands for the complementary or contrasexual part of the psyche. This reflects our personal relations and individual experience of the contrasexual, as in how in touch we are with the opposite sex. The anima archetype is seen in the character Laertes, "And so I have a noble father ...
- 2249: Carvers Realism From Fires
- ... is, is marginal to say the least, for Carver tells us in Fires that anything from a phone call to living in a seedy apartment in Jerusalem for four months is cause to influence his writing. But taking this as subject of influence for his stories, one must then look at his characters, who at times more than closely resemble a certain element of Carver himself in a certain situation that ... life of dead end jobs and child raising, he realised, very much like one of his characters, that things would not change. He recounts one of the strongest of these moments in his essay on writing influences, Fires. He was at the laundromat washing clothes and, at this point in the essay, waiting for a dryer: When and if one of the dryers ever stopped, I planned to rush over to ... Half my family is still living like this. They still don t know how they are going to make it through the next month or two . (Gentry, p.138) The precision found in Carver s writing comes from Carver himself, his experiences, his rises, and his downfalls. Carver s stories changed with his life, and his characters reflect this. We can say a certain percentage of his stories dealt with ...

- ... in an orgy-porgy. This was of great devastation to John. Everything, which he ever believed in, in his fight against the pressures of Utopia, was shattered in a split second. He had failed his personal egotism was defeated and the dread and horror of this defeat was overwhelming. Rather than living the rest of his life fighting Utopia and sticking with “primitive” ways of “lunacy,” nor turning to the insanity ... in the end, the choice of the individual to be who they become. This is reflected by John “the Savage”, in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. The nature of John’s conflict involves his personal beliefs and the contrasting Utopian’s beliefs. Being from a world of art individuality, and literature, John is in great disappointment upon his arrival at the “boring,” “ordinary” Utopian world. Art, individuality, and literature do ... class. Sex is rather a pastime event and is not something that is cherished or appreciated. Also, stress and illness are not felt because of “runaways” on soma holidays. All which contradict to John’s personal beliefs. His death was very symbolic in that a man choosing between life in insanity where advancement in science has affected the way society lives or life in . When his individual will slowly diminished ...
