- 22223: Tintern Abbey
- ... a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey; nor does it compliment the mood of the poem. Reasons for this include: wrong mood in painting and wrong placement of building. Although this painting does not compliment Wordsworth's poem necessarily, it does not mean it should not be respected for the great piece of artwork it is. The mood of Tintern Abbey is very somber and melancholy. The colors are very drab, and Turner seems to focus more on the fact that is dilapidated, than the fact that it was once a great building. Also, the mood of Wordsworth's poem is not melancholy at all. While writing this poem he was very happy, and excited as he enjoyed the Abbey again through his sister's eyes. Wordsworth himself said, “No poem of mine was composed under circumstances more pleasant for me to remember than this.” One can attribute the melancholy mood to Turner's style which was impressionistic and ...

- ... that only those in touch with nature can see. Wordsworth illustrates such powers by writing, "These beauteous forms/Through a long absence, have not been to me/As is a landscape to a blind man’s eye". He wishes he could feel the beautiful powers of the forest more often. Coleridges poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" illustrates Christian redemption and man’s redeemable qualities. Coleridge believes life and poetry both follow a cyclical pattern. The story is about a man’s literal and spiritual journey and how they parallel each other. On these journeys, Coleridge imaginatively explores the supernatural. He makes the story and the Mariners experiences more interesting. The Mariner experiences moral error and ...
- 22225: Going To College As A Freshmen
- ... time and many hours of thought. One item to consider when choosing a college is whether or not the college has a degree plan to help prepare one for their career. For example, if one's aspiration is to become a registered nurse, one should choose a school with a highly recognized nursing program. Many times students choose schools because their friends and family have gone to a certain school. Instead, they should choose a school that will help them achieve their career goals. Another aspect to consider when choosing a college is one's financial situation. When choosing a college, many students seek out financial help such as grants, loans, or scholarships. The amount of grants, loans, or scholarships received from different schools can greatly influence one's decision on where to attend. Once one has chosen a college, there are still other decisions to make. On registration day, one must choose the right schedule needed to complete her degree plan. It ...
- 22226: Biography Of Adam Smith
- ... that was being spent toward an education that was not stimulating his needs at the time. He left Oxford in 1746 due to the lack of intellectual stimulation, but not before expressing his views.

Sir, I yesterday receiv'd your letter with a bill of sixteen pounds enclos'd for which I humbly thank you, but more for the good ...
- 22227: Gwen Harwood Gender Analysis
- ... Thoughts: Baby & Demon', the reader is positioned to automatically associate the baby to the ignorant, undemanding, innocent female, and the clever, deceitful demon and dominating persona to the male. These assumptions are presented as society's unconscious way of assigning roles and expectations to each gender. In 'Prize-Giving' the arrogance and self-importance of the central character, Professor Eisenbart, illuminates the distinction and 'hierarchy' of which males are heralds of ... the girls in the same levels as birds and insects suggest the deprivation of the female gender in equating them to less than human. The presentation of these 'airy' movements prove contrast to the 'Rodin's Thinker' of the Professor. Again the association of the male to sophistication and confidence shine through in the patriarchal culture constructed, reinforcing the marginalism of the female. By presenting such contrasting concepts of both genders ... and a celebration of art, music and the feminine over the scientific masculine is attained. The entrapment of Eisenbart and the reversal of roles and possession of power, illuminated by the destruction of the character's rational, and of course patriarchal, values, exemplify the presentation of the power and domination of 'naturally' submissive traits. That is, society subscribes the arts and music as natural interests of a feminine audience, and ...

- 22229: Mansfield Park
- Mansfield Park This novel, originally published in 1814, is the first of Jane Austen's novels not to be a revised version of one of her pre-1800 writings. Mansfield Park has sometimes been considered atypical of Jane Austen, as being solemn and moralistic, especially when contrasted with the immediately ... Fanny emerges more or less unscathed. The well-ordered (if somewhat vacuous) house at Mansfield Park, and its country setting, play an important role in the novel, and are contrasted with the squalour of Fanny's own birth family's home at Portsmouth, and with the decadence of London. Readers have a wide variety of reactions to Mansfield Park-most of which already appear in the Opinions of Mansfield Park collected by Jane Austen ...
- 22230: The Hobbit
- Introduction The book I read and analyzed was “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkein. I shall discuss the plot and character development, setting, author’s style and my opinions about it. Plot Development There are too many characters in the story and so it is hard to follow and know each one of them. (There are many dwarves and it’s confusing.) In the beginning there is an introduction where the author tells a bit about what is a hobbit and the hobbit’s (Bilbo) family. It is not very complicated and the author makes it easy to understand. This introduction gives the general background, which makes the story easier to understand, for the plot and its development. ...
