- ... with the one that says, “they designate a space and time for their action.” I do not feel that a specific time is designated. Instead I feel that the time is determined at a moment’s notice. This can be seen presently when referring to the future state of Palestine. The date for this states declaration of existence has changed numerous times during the past few years. Yael Zerubavel writes about Collective remembering and Zionist reconstruction of the past. I do not agree with the historian that Zerubavel talks about in his writings.

Without the strong nationalistic views of thousands of Jews the goal of ...

- 25634: Inferno
- By: Vova Vovochkin Although it is hard to read Dante’s triple rhyme, I am thrilled by the Inferno’s ambiguity and allegoric power. It is really “a three-dimensional art.” Just like Picasso in his paintings, Dante makes me think about the meaning of the situations and their implications. Moreover, it is as visual as masterpieces of Picasso. Dante makes us believe in his narration involving our senses. This narrative poem astonishes me by the power of the language and by it’s mysticism. In the first canto we see Dante in “the dark wood of error.” While he tries to climb up the Mount of Joy, Dante meets three wild beasts, which make him lost in ...

Clarissa’s character reveals to us early in the book her lack of attraction to her husband. This revelation can be seen in the passage that states: “...through some contraction of this cold spirit, she had failed ... after all, been love?” Although Sally held her heart, her homosexual feelings were not socially acceptable. Clarissa is therefore obliged to enter into a marriage to Richard Dalloway for social purposes. A contrast to Clarissa’s lack of attraction to her husband is seen in her fear of loosing him.

- Effects Almost everything we, as Americans, know and believe, comes directly from news sources and advertisements.

Not only do we believe into everything the media ... media is largely responsible for the transforming of cultural ideals and attitudes.
