Discussion on James Joyce: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Joyce had a copy of Wilde’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray” with him. Joyce had a deep respect for Wilde, and felt a relationship with him, due to the fact that both of them were Irish. After reading The Picture of Dorian Gray, Joyce had an objection over suppressed sexual references in the novel, and wished Wilde had developed a better approach, as he stated in his letters. Keeping that in mind, when he wrote his novel, “The Portrait of The Artist as a Young Man”, he used a more modern and open approach, in order to make sure his novel did not have ...

Irish Republican Army: Terror in Ireland

(Institute/College/University)

Regarded as the oldest terrorist group in Europe, the Irish Republican Army (IRA) was initially named as the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) or the “Fenians” on the 15th of February 1858. Its earliest objectives engaged the liberation of the region from the “invading” British forces; in the course of time, the IRB forged a close collaboration with Sinn Fein (“Ourselves Alone”) after the latter’s establishment in 1905. The IRB’s radical wing carried numerous attacks including the “Easter Uprising” onslaught in 1916 under the name “Irish Republican Army.” After a cease fire was concluded in 1923, the ...

Argument with Evaluation

There are some talented authors who managed to portray life as they saw it with all the white and dark strips. One of such gifted natures is surely an Irish dramatist Lady Gregory. She was not interested in things and abstract ideas but preferred to depict the complicated inner life of people’s feelings and emotions. The Rising of the Moon is her remarkable one-act little play that was widely praised for its consummate dramatic technique. It was written in 1904 and proved that harmony and loyalty could be found in the most intense situations ever. Thomas Hogan named ...

My family used to own a farm that took up about 120 acres in northeastern Texas. The nearest town was a sleepy hamlet called Ector, that had about 800 people in it when I was a kid; the town has grown smaller since then. Bonham was further down the road, the seat of Fannin County. When I was a kid, you could go into Bonham to bowl or watch a movie, or even shop at Wal-Mart. But we didn’t do any of those things when I was a kid, and we went down to the farm. Instead, we stayed there – first in the old, ...

Question 1
“A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift contains many aspects that are difficult to understand. One of the aspects that Swift constantly uses in his work and that are one of the major sources of understanding difficult is irony. I experienced great difficulty in understanding the poem because of the presence of irony. The irony is demonstrated at the story’s end where Swift states that his proposal would not in any way affect him because all of his children have matured and his wife is unable to give birth anymore. It is actually absurd to imagine ...

Recently, the role of a managerial accountant is widely discussed in the scholars. Johnson and Kaplan (1991) argue that management accounting is “too late, too aggregated, and too distorted to be relevant for managers’ planning and control decisions” (1). Haedr (2012) considered the mediation effect of management accounting information on motivation using contingency theory stating that “MAI usefulness accounts for a full (i.e. complete) mediation effect only on the relationship between centralization and MCS effectiveness.” (n.p.). As the number of views cannot present a unified opinion on the matter, the purpose of the current paper to reveal whether the functions of the ...

There are many different religions living together in the United States, and the topic is deep enough as to be able to write a book about it. For that reason, let us do a summary of how Judaism, Hinduism and Catholicism have influenced the United States and how their host country influenced them.

Even in 2008, during the presidential campaigns there was a high volume of God talk amongst

the candidates. Today the political debates are still about religious topics: prayer, religious
display on public property, and the limits of government aid to religious organizations.

Ultimately the debate is over the famous topic of church-state relationship, and the moral

perspectives that are brought into the political arena which in turn have consequences in public
everyday life (Wald & Callhoun-Brown, 24).

Introduction

The right to decide whether a woman is ready to bear the responsibility of a child, a life, should be granted to the woman. Currently, abortion is illegal in several countries across the globe, some even going to the extent of endangering the mother’s life so as to avoid aborting a fetus. While most of the arguments against legalizing abortion have been founded on the concept of the fetus’ right to life, there is also great contention that a woman is the best judge of whether she can carry the responsibility of the child. Hence, the legalization of abortion should be allowed in ...
