- 1251: Psychoanalysis Of Fairytales
- ... In analysis, however, the pattern and commonality of a number of symbols is perhaps too frequent to be coincidental. Little Red Riding Hood can be said to be one of the most widely known fairy-stories. On the surface it is a tale of deception ending in the destruction of the 'evil' and deceptive source. The story does, at the same time, lend itself to Freudian interpretation regarding the male/female ... this sort. However, if one is to look at the general tale that is told to the child today and compare it to perhaps the original versions of the work, one will see that the stories have often been 'watered down' for the young audience. What critics of this view must realise is that the oral tradition and story telling is a form of education. Informing young children of the danger ... the story presented to them. There is, of course, the surface view which means that the tale is taken at pure fantastical face value. This is the option that people assume all children look at stories with, and so this is the sole level that is possible to be extracted. However, children are more perceptive than adults often give them credit for. The introduction of fantasy is a most important ...
- 1252: Analysis Of Similes In The Ill
- ... the people of Homer's day. From the heroic efforts in the Iliad itself it is clear that the populace of his time were highly emotional creatures, and higher brain activity seems to be in short, and in Odysseus' case, valuable, order. It is also wise to remember that history is written by the winners. In the Iliad, there seems to be relatively little storyline from the Trojan's side. We ... as a throng of weak-kneed wimps with their constitution sapped, obviously not the case as they go on to win the war, but it suffices to cast the Lycians in a negative light. A short, but emotionally appealing, simile is found after the Greek warriors have changed their mind about leaving and return to the Scamander: "They stood as thick upon the flower-bespangled field as leaves that bloom in ... Greeks are made to look like animals. In Book Ten Nestor comments on a set of horses that Odysseus is ushering, won by Diomedes through killing some Trojans, that they are "like sunbeams." A very short, and odd, description for horses. One is reminded of Apollo and his kinship with his chariot, often referred to as racing across the heavens. The thought of golden horses gliding straight and true, unwavering, ...
- 1253: Public Relations
- ... want to get out, they want the media to give them as much attention as possible. There is another side to this story though. The media reports on subjects that are considered newsworthy. This includes stories that not only could be beneficial to business, but they also report on subjects that put companies in a negative light. This is where the hate relationship comes in. Negative publicity is the last thing ... a very effective way of getting publicity. Newspapers are always looking for people and things to write about. Radio and television stations are always looking for people to interview and things to talk about. These stories are free of charge, and are of greater value than a commercial would be. People know that a commercial is paid for and designed under the companies own perspective of itself. People are more likely ... to promote a company. A spokes person must be prepared to deal with the media though. If they are not, a television or news paper journalists will tear that person apart. These people want interesting stories, and spokes people must be prepared for the tough questions that will be thrown there way. There are companies that specialize in media training, and will teach anyone who may have to speak on ...
- 1254: A Days Time
- ... is in its most beautiful and prolific state. In youth, man is in the same state of a flower in bloom, resplendent and bountiful, but the time of beauty for a flower and youth is short. Herrrick states in lines 3-4 And this same flower that smiles today,/ Tommorrow will be dying, (728) which is a symbol of the shortness of youth. Frost in lines 3-4 Her early leaf s a flower;/ But only so an hour, (989) also symbolizes the fleeting time of youth. In the beginning, a flower and youth are filled with vitality, but in a short amount of time the flower will wilt and die, and the youth will be an adult on a passage to death. The second symbol used by Herrick and Frost is the day: youth is dawn ... the day to symbolize the transient nature of youth. A flower, the day, and youth are fleeting states, which need to be enjoyed to its fullest. Youth is beautiful and the realization that life is short has not yet occurred. Shortly the flower will wilt, the day is spent, and man will be in the grave.
- 1255: A Review Of Courage Under Fire
- ... different and it succeeded in that endeavor. It really was one of the strengths of this film. Instead of conducting a cursory investigation, Lieutenant Serling finds himself unavoidably drawn into Walden s crew s conflicting stories. Each crew member seems to give a different interpretation regarding the events that took place during the rescue mission that lead to the captain s death. Serling begins to suspect a cover up and decides ... them. Very rarely do I ever watch a movie a second time. It has to be that good. Courage Under Fire is just an exceptional movie. It is not one of those earth-shattering epic stories, where the world is saved from the perils of doom. The movie never really swells nor does it undulate from its goals. There are two stories brought forth, each with its own significance. One of the best qualities of the movie, and praise should be handed to the director for this, is that Serling s character conflict and the Walden ...
- 1256: The Awakening 2
- ... this quote: The community about which she wrote was one in which respectable women took wine with their dinner and brandy after it, smoked cigarettes, played Chopin sonatas, and listened to the men tell risque stories. It was, in short, far more French than American, and Mrs.Chopin reproduced this little world with no specific intent to shock or make a point. . . . Rather, these were for Mrs.Chopin the conditions of civility. . . . People openly like ...
- 1257: Mafia
- ... thousands of Frenchmen after a French soldier raped a Palermo woman on her wedding day. Their slogan echoed her mothers cry, Ma fia, Ma fia (my daughter my daughter). There are other less glamorous stories as to where the word originally formed. The most likely reasoning says that it came from the Arabic word mahias, meaning bold man. The American Mafia has become infamous due to its leaders, its method ... s blessing by doing good things for other people with their money. Many universities greatly benefited from this idea throughout the years. It took a while, but the Mafia soon began to find the many short cuts to easy wealth. Most started by getting involved in prostitution, selling women to immigrants whom missed their wives. Places were established in large cities such as Chicago, to train new girls, usually unwillingly to ...
- 1258: All About Triffles
- ... Trifles, Mrs. Hale weaves the story or describes the circumstances, Mrs. Peters weighs the evidence and determines the direction of justice, and Mrs. Wright carries out the verdict; although the procedure is somewhat reversed, the stories are still the same. Susan Glaspell's use of the Fates, or the Three Sisters, does not weaken her dramatization of women who are oppressed by men(Mustazza492). Although some believe that the power of ...

- 1259: The Time Is Night By Luidmila
- The Time is Night is a short novel by Liudmila Petrushevskaya. It is one of the few stories that I enjoy reading over and over again. The reason is that each time I re-read it, I perceive it in a slightly different way. The complicity of characters and the style of the ...
