Healthy Grief

The grieving process according to Kubler-Ross

Kubler-Ross defined the five stages of grieving which include Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. Even though he suggested that the stages occur in the proposed process, there is no definite order that an individual can take. It is however important for an individual to go through the stages which will enhance the healing process. In the denial stage, a person has not accepted the fact that they have lost a loved one. He will therefore try to live as if nothing happened with the hope that it is a dream that they will wake up ...

‘Light in August’: Alienation, Violence and Permanence in Faulkner’s South

William Faulkner’s Light in August is a story rich in typically Southern themes told in a new literary style. Faulkner’s literary consciousness had its roots in the storytelling tradition of the Old South and yet expressed a 20th century sensibility. Light in August stands as one of Faulkner’s greatest achievements because it evokes the impact of history on the present, a common theme in his fiction, and examines the duality of human nature. Faulkner’s great genius lay in his ability to blend a Modernist style of writing with a natural feel for Southern storytelling. The result, as with Light in August, ...

Both “Do Not Go Gentle Into that Good Night” by Dylan Thomas and “Autobiography in Late Middle Age” by Zulfikar Ghose discuss getting older.

He calls her “A violet by a mossy stone/ Half hidden from the eye!” (5). She is not really a violet, but figuratively like ...

I have never read much poetry because it has never been a part of a class before. I find that poetry is a little bit scary because it could be hard to understand what the poet is talking about, kind of like a riddle. If a teacher asked me if I would rather write a short paper about a news article or a poem, I would choose the news article because I understand how news articles are written but I do not know much about poetry.

Even though I do not know much about poetry, I remember once when I was younger a teacher gave us an assignment ...

Shakespeare’s Protests against Institutional Racism in Elizabethan England

Othello is not the only play in the Shakespearean canon that features racism, and it certainly is not the only play that challenges social mores. Whether it’s the feisty Beatrice, in Much Ado About Nothing, turning social convention on its head, in the sense that women were supposed to be prim and proper in Elizabethan England, when she wows Benedick with her powerful desire to save Hero, or whether it’s the Jew Shylock in The Merchant of Venice, endowed with many of the physical characteristics associated with the worst stereotypes associated with members of his religion but ...

In Homer's The Iliad, the Trojan War is shown to be an incredibly brutal and unforgiving war, fought by prideful individuals and leading to the deaths of very close friends.

Furthermore, the women of The Iliad provide a dramatic counterpoint to the brash pride of the men , at least where the gods are concerned. The human women of The Iliad seem to have little to no autonomy at all.

Even though Rome, Open City has the obvious advantages available to the filmmaker, in the sense that any desired sort of reality is open for creation, the rendition that Rossellini produces is one that comes very close to reality. The raw nature of the neorealist technique actually led to a higher level of creativity. The dialectical montage that occurs in the use of mixing in newsreel footage with the main action at times lends a jarring rhythm to the film, but it also lends a sense of authenticity to the events, as the news items verify the factuality of wht ...
