Sense Literature Reviews Samples For Students

LITERATURE REVIEW

Notably Rovai (2002) argues that student sense of community refers to the feeling of belonging among people who are brought together by common goals and interests. The research undertaken by the various authors as expostulated in this paper takes a bias in assessing the role played by sense of community in the student fraternity and its overall effect on education and academic achievement. Drovin & Vartanian (2010) challenge the traditional view that direct face to face educational interaction is limited in terms of building a community of relations. Direct face to face educational set up is seen to be more profound in ...

Introduction

Thomas Paine wrote “Common Sense” in the first month of 1776, and by the end of the year, it had sold 150,000 copies throughout America, constituting itself as the country’s first “best seller”. In this pamphlet, he put forth all the arguments that had been built up by the time, regarding the Colonies’ right to independence, and the evils of absolutist monarchy. The ideas of Natural Laws, and the roles and limitations of the Government, which are expressed in this document, were in wide circulation in the educated circles at the time, and even ...

Introduction

It is challenging to fathom exactly what drives people towards accomplishment in life, but there are some reasons to believe that both external and internal forces play significance roles in motivation. “Motivation is the particular word commonly used to describe the situation of self-determination” (Deci & Ryan, 2014). The theory of motivation developed by Deci and Ryan (2014), suggest that individuals are necessarily driven by the need to grow to gain personal fulfillment. However, where does that motivation stems from? Deci and Ryan (2014) explain that “self-determination influences people towards accomplishing such tasks." First, people's activities and efforts are usually ...

The national ethos of Americans everywhere is no better represented than by the ever-present, American Dream that has captivated a worldwide imagination since its inception along with the beginning of the Unites States’ existence as a country. For many years, the American Dream has described a world of opportunity in which people of varying cultures and backgrounds enjoy equality in their pursuit of richer, fuller lives. It was this dream that brought the first immigrants to America in the first place, and it was again this dream that gave them the necessary impetus to stay and to improve the conditions of their ...

One of the most important landmarks on way of teaching – learning process of a language is the sort of achievements attained through training on approach and its consequent reflection on the classroom practice. In a teaching context, what is the usual practice determines the areas and aspects of competence that the learners are most likely to develop; to which extent or to what end – just theoretical or practical- is an entirely different issue often not explored. When in such a context training is introduced, some scope of such query and analysis is created and certain specific ways to solution is opened which ...

All American Sestina by Florence Cassen Myers

This remarkable poem is surely one of the finest which has ever been written to describe the American Dream and all its fallacies and controversies. First of all it manages to create a situation where the American Dream is constantly invoked and described as something which is full of ambiguities. In one of the passages, Myers describes a ‘six pack Bud’ in the sense that this epitomizes the obvious imbalances that there are with fantasy and reality.
Myers also has other interesting aspects in the poem which create a sense of archaic dominance and there are some rather negative views of ...

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 ...

Classic English Literature

The classical mythological stories and beliefs of religions, great heroes, Gods, monsters, sins, right and wrong doings, souls, among others have been an inspiration for many poets and authors. Many books have been written on how God would like to have his children live in a holy fashion, virtuous all their lives and enter the gates of heaven. The fear of being thrown in hell and being cleansed for unholy, immoral and sinful acts are also described in many books.
Dante’s Divine Comedy written when he was exactly half way through life, at the age of 35 is ...

Introduction

The appreciation for the literary craftsmanship of Franz Kafka cannot be understated. In fact, according to one journal article’s assessment by Berthoff, “Lovers of literature are forever indebted” to the writer’s friend Max Brod, “who ignored Kafka’s ‘last request’ to destroy all his manuscripts and proceeded to edit and publish” some of his novels (499). Also at the outset it is important to recognize that the original language Kafka wrote in was German, although he spoke in Czech. According to the same source Kafka’s office writings had been informed by – or at least and influencing ...

One of the most intriguing and important questions that can be asked by an individual is on whether or not God exists and if there is any way to prove God’s existence. Depending on one’s belief, the responses may be varied on proving the existence of God as being easy or impossible. For the religious believers, such as Christians and Catholics and those of other religious denominations the answer would simply be yes God exists and we humans are the proof of God’s existence. However, from a philosophical or scientific standpoint the answer to God’s ...

St. Thomas Aquinas’ philosophy is that all living things have a soul; therefore, like humans, brute animals (i.e. non-human animals) possess a soul. The soul being referred to man should not be understood in the same sense that pertaining to animals.
The difference between the soul of brute animals and the soul of man is their subsistence. The soul of animals is not subsistent. It mainly pertains to sense, the subsistent form of which is the body. It drives the body and at the same time is affected by the body. Sensory capabilities, and thus the soul, of animals are ...

Analysis: Out of the Dust

Abstract
Karen Hesse's book Out of the Dust takes an unconventional approach to fiction, depicting the events of a full-length novel in a number of free verse poems. The tale of a family of farmers attempting to survive the Dust Bowl, Hesse's work is fascinating in its minimalism and heartbreaking in its focus. Hesse's free verse prose lends a childlike sense of simplicity and wonder to these heavy themes, showing just how dramatic these conditions can affect a child of that age; the result is an intelligent and thoughtful book on life in the Dust Bowl.
Karen Hesse's book Out of the ...

Compare three or more poems according to their imagery.

Mary Barnet’s poetry is intriguing and full of life with several real life observations on the daily drudge which makes up our intrinsic existence. In some ways she also resembles Keats, Byron and Shelley with several of her poems couched in real life phrases which are extremely delectable and rather beautiful.

A typical example would be the poem, ‘There’

Here one can look at the sun as the catalysts of the poem where Barnet recreates a stark and intrinsically ugly landscape without much hope for the future. She mentions the sun’s rays beating on her scalp which is surely something rather tiresome and in this sense ...

Dubliners is a novel in the loosest of senses, much in the same way that The Martian Chronicles is a novel. Both books contain vignettes that can stand alone as separate short stories, although they contain characters and a sort of story arc that holds the whole entity together. One of the main elements that holds the story together is the plight of the poor in Dublin; despite the fact that most of the characters are poor, the truth of their poverty comes to the reader indirectly, through such details as the fact that Lenehan has not eaten all day, while he ...

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is a highly influential American novel for many reasons, not the least of which is the compelling, well-drawn and uniquely American character of Atticus Finch. A strong, paternal presence to his family and his community, Atticus is highly principled, hard-working and dedicated to a sincere sense of justice. Both in his parenting of Scout and his defense of Tom Robinson, Atticus’ virtue is shown throughout. While America may not always live up to the standards Atticus Finch himself sets, he represents a set of ideals that America hopes to strive towards, including equality, fairness and standing up ...

Analysis of “Common Sense” Published by Thomas Paine

(Insert College/and or class)
Almost everybody at some point in their education has heard the name, Thomas Paine. In between the years of 1775 and 1776, the brilliant writer Thomas Paine, wrote a pamphlet to the American people called “Common Sense”. It was a marvelous attempt by Paine to show the newly-found American people that Britain’s rule was no longer needed in the United States. It’s quite remarkable, because Paine’s piece of writing convinced the American people that it was common sense to declare independence from Britain, even though years of taxation and war failed to show ...

The sense of love, compassion and nobility is exhausted in Othello. It is replaced by a growing sense of misogyny, harshness and ignominy. Act IV of the play depicts this replacement, and we find that the principle characters are not those who act, but those who suffer.
In the first scene of the act, and after being convinced of the unfaithfulness of his wife, Othello confronted Desdemona and accused her of betrayal. His imagination is manipulated by Iago’s lies that he interprets his wife’s denial as a proof of her sin. Even though Othello does not deny his ...

The book under the title ‘The mimic men’ is narrative book which has a simple structure to understand since it heavily employs the use of flashbacks and flash forwards. This makes it simple to understand what the protagonist in the novel has gone through (James, paragraph 2). The book is more of a confession and autobiography of the protagonist (Singh) who has just retired in one of the suburbs in London after spending many years in Isabella as a minister (Roberts, paragraph 2).
The book revolves around the world of Isabella, an island which has just received independence from its colonialists. ...

"The Gentlemen from Cracow" - Analysis

The allegorical short story "The Gentlemen from Cracow" is a very well-known and important piece of Yiddish folklore; a short story in which the poor villagers of the Polish town of Frampol attempt to deal with their own poverty in very interesting ways. When a drought is followed by a hailstorm, then locusts and other supernatural happenstances, the titular gentlemen arrives to offer these villagers a solution. The story itself is a treatise on conspicuous consumption, especially as it befalls a society that is unused to it. Attempting to transform this simple village into a haven for consumerism has disastrous consequences ...

The poems – ‘Meditation at Lagunitas’ and ‘Picking Blackberries with a Friend who has been Reading Jacques Lacan’ – are from Robert Hass’ collection of poems ‘Praise’ that was first published in 1981. Both poems, written by the same author, have several differences in style, meaning and effect. Yet, there is one similarity in both the poems, and that is the sense of nostalgia that they evoke.

In the poem Meditation at Lagunitas, the speaker remembers an intimate time spent with a woman. It seems that the speaker is reminiscing about an entire evening as he speaks of dinner, how the woman broke ...

One thing that the gentry have, which the pirates don’t, is a strong sense of duty “to king, country, professional ethics, and moral principle.” Point out instances in Treasure Island where members of the gentry do their duty, even though it appears to handicap them in their conflict with the pirates. Does their devotion to duty in fact cost the gentry something, strategically? Or does it turn out to be an advantage over the undutiful pirates?
This is an interesting and complex question. There are moments, episodes in the novel, where the devotion to duty shown by the gentry ...

Trauma / children trauma of separation
Trauma refers to an emotional shock or wound often having long-lasting effects. This shock or wound could be caused by any accident, violence, or other such incidents, especially in the childhood, when a child feels completely helpless (Kaduson & Schaefer, 2012). Usually, trauma in the childhood is of great impact as the child is unable to use ordinary coping and defensive processes while facing any intolerable danger, anxiety, or instinctual arousal. These situations have such an overwhelming nature that they may result in an everlasting kind of impact on the mind ...

Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” comprises, in only 2200 words, so much cleverly built suspense, that it has become one of his most renowned works. In the story, an unreliable narrator, a mad murderer, tells the story of his murder in order to convince the audience that he is not mad. The story is rich in symbolism and in clues which allow the readers to make sense of the events, to anticipate the murder and to understand the reasons for the narrator’s crime. However, one of the most important elements of fiction in this ...

Hunger, a popular novel by Knut Hamsun, is indeed unwittingly about hunger. What made it controversial were the idiosyncrasies, thoughts that are often one-sided, and the abandonment and depreciation of the author on some of the basic ideologies that other authors in his era so loved, among others. There are simply a lot of things about Hamsun’s Hunger that one cannot afford to miss, not just because of its peculiarity or extraordinary characteristics, if not weird at all, but also because of the moving and entertaining features.
Perhaps from some readers’ point of view, the story in itself can ...

Advertising is the main resource to business since it allows businesses or organizations the chance to reach or connect with its customers. Moreover, it avails other opportunities of gaining new customers. Through advertising, an organization may raise its market share. Nonetheless, large base of customers determines the market share a company owns. This is the reason effective advertising planning and implementation or executions are important (Berger & Mitchell, 2009).
Many factors can make advertising effective. An effective advertising execution plan has several key components, and every component serves a purpose within the smooth operation or functioning of advertising strategies.

“Burnt Norton” by T.S. Eliot
This poem is told through a narrator speaking directly to an audience. He warns of living in the present and not to suffer the past or worry about the future, “If all time is eternally” present. To worry about what one has already done in the past, “Down the passage which we did not takeTowards the door we never opened will not help to live well in the present.” (Eliot) To spend one’s time think and planning for the future is also a waste, “Here is a place of disaffection Time before and time after”.

Introduction

According to the American Psychiatric Association (2000), a trauma is a shocking and emotionally overpowering situation that makes an individual experience a threat to psychological or physical integrity of self or others, leading to a reaction of intense fear, horror, and helplessness (Stolorow, 2007). Ver Der Kolk (1996) opines that "traumatized people lead traumatic and traumatizing lives", because they tend to re-victimize themselves, inflict self-injury, and externalize their trauma by victimizing others. The childhood trauma may trigger severe psychological reactions like Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that may affect the individual by subjecting him or her to severe depression and alcohol or drug dependence ( ...

Edith Wharton’s two short stories “Roman Fever” and “The Fullness of Life” are two very different types of stories. Roman Fever is a realist, but fictional account of two women who have known each other from the days of the youth. “The Fullness of Life” is a transcendent, story of mythical proportions which lends itself to tracing it’s influence back to Greek and Roman mythical stories. Despite the diverging nature of the stories, both of them have similar characters in one sense. This essay analyzes the similarities of character and difference in setting, and the similarity of theme running ...

Tone

The tone of this piece is the author’s concern with life and death. Her voice is personal, describing the world she observes with wonder and interest. The tone is not introspective, but instead has an external focus, viewing the wider world with a tone that suggests its impersonal yet implacable nature. Although the Woolf attempts to describe with detachment, her tone cannot remain so as she witnesses the life and death of the moth. Whether or not she wants to be, her tone is one of captivation by this example of life and death. Additionally, there is a tone of ...

Ernest Hemingway, the author of The Sun Also Rises, was part of a generation of writers who made their mark on the literary scene beginning in the 1920’s. The end of the Great War had significant effects on the attitudes of many artists, who felt that the values under which they had been raised no longer mattered, because of the sheer horror of the war. The horrific weapons that were used for the first time during this war, such as mustard gas, and the size of the war, which dragged most of the West’s major powers into conflict, ...

Modern American fiction often concerns itself with identity; the individual is often at stake in part of a larger group, whether it be a family, village, or the societies of a big city. Perhaps it is the very nature of American fiction to place identity at the core of much of its short fiction; as a relatively young country that evolved quickly through colonial times and the industrial revolution, its population comes from around the world yet still seeks to define itself as a nation. Therefore, it is no surprise that in the diverse fiction of America, the theme of identity is wrestled with ...

King Lear follows the story of the titular character Lear, an elderly king who wishes to give up his power, and attempts to divide his lands among his three daughters. However, a series of unfortunate and capricious events, brought on primarily by Lear's own vanity and anger, lead him to slowly descend into madness, pushing away his three daughters. The show turns into a bloodbath, with all three daughters and Lear dead at the end of it, with many deaths stemming from jealousy, capriciousness and futile competition among military leaders. The play, however, demonstrates Lear's journey as the end result of ...

Sunglasses - False Consciousness

In this picture, a pair of sunglasses is placed on a tablecloth, folded and pointing toward the viewer. These sunglasses are indicative of the Marxist thesis of false consciousness, wherein the capitalist machine creates a false sense of happiness and harmony between social classes. In reality, the rich control the poor but the poor do not quite know it. This harsh reality is overshadowed by materials and institutions that place importance on consumerism and capitalism as a means to accrue happiness. With the potential for wealth dangled in front of a public that does not see the truth, people can actively vote or work ...

Wordsworth’s “Ode: Intimations of Immortality” explores the concept that children are connected with the divine and with an idealised outlook on the world. Although, according to the poet, people lose both of these qualities when they enter adulthood, the memory of such times allows them to sympathise with others.
The first four stanzas are of a nostalgic tone and childhood is certainly mentioned. The nostalgia isn’t for childhood itself, however, but for certain elements of it. Wordsworth views childhood at a time when a person’s sense of identity is comfortable; it is not in question. Furthermore, Wordsworth seems ...

Introduction:

This novel is a superb concoction of several themes which affected the Japanese nation after the Second World War and how some characters in particular especially those Japanese who opted to leave their ravaged country and search for a new life abroad. The autobiographical sense of the novel is also an intrinsic part of it as Endo was actually the first Japanese to study abroad after the war and that surely changed his life. However the most important part of the book, at least to my knowledge is the continual conflict between Japanese culture and the influx of other western cultures ...

The major theme that shows up in the story is that of biculturalism and the fact that Tayo feels as though he is caught between two societies’. While he has grown up on the reservation surrounded by Native American culture. He does not feel as though he truly belongs because of his white ancestry. This is compounded due to the violent and negative history between the white man and the Native American, whose way of life and land was destroyed by the white mans greed and sense of entitlement. In biculturalism a person is stuck between the dominant culture ...

Human Rights and Obligation

There is a sheer need to balance out rights and obligation in the Australian context. Human beings have the basic urge to demand their own rights, but when it come to provide rights to other, the attitude remains indifferent. Citizens should be made aware of the notion that with every kind of benefit, it comes a sense of responsibility. Human rights are the rights inherent to all people equally irrespective of their caste, creed, race, sex, nationality, religion or any other status. Every human being is entitled to human rights without any discrimination. These rights are indivisible, interdependent and ...

This proposal presents a plan for the study of how inter-ethnic conflicts develop in newly decolonized countries around the world. The preliminary literature review shows that these states have volatile constitutions and the poor or non-existent separation of powers causes the country to marginalize its minority ethnic groups. This leads to failed policies on integration and the homogeneity of the military. The poor and unresponsive intervention of the Executive arm of government in a bad situation causes minorities to pick up arms and seek their right.
This paper proposes that the findings of the preliminary literature review be tested on ...

As the Overseas Editor of Poetry, Erza Pound (“Pound”) had instigated the whole business (n.a., n.d., “Bio,” 2014; and McCoy, 1992).
Prufrock has been studied by many, many talented scholars. In fact, what makes it such an outstanding piece of poetry is the fact that people can read so many meanings into it. ...

People are indeed not created equal. They all have different faces, personalities, abilities, beliefs, principles, and cultures among others. With that being said, Henry David Thoreau’s literary piece The Battle of the Ants, found at the twelfth chapter of Walden, is a great example of this actuality. The story tells of how a simple story of war or battle between two species of ants, which are different in size and color, can serve as a reflection of the main implication of humanitarian conflicts in today’s reality. Thoreau used black and red ants as an allegory to depict the inequality between ...

1) Spoken language is an absolutely integral element of learning which is often undervalued in educational settings – textbooks and written/visual stimulation are typically the preferred methods to teach students. However, spoken language has a great deal more to offer as a vehicle of learning than is typically considered for a variety of reasons. For example, the use of grammar and inflection is an important component to understanding, as words can often be divorced from their meanings. To that end, spoken language is an absolutely vital tool to teaching and learning, as complex ideas and concepts can be conveyed through the linguistic systems ...
