Literature Review: Henry James's Daisy Miller

Daisy Miller is a novella written by Henry James, first published in the Cornhill Magazine in the summer of 1878 and reprinted as a novella (James). The book serves as an allegory in which James contrasts the young American culture with the sophisticated European lifestyle he was well acquainted with (D. M. Biography). The question arises whether Daisy, Annie P. ‘Daisy’ Miller is an innocent victim, involved in societal expectations far above her understanding or whether she is as contemptible as her actions seem to suggest. James uses symbolism (D.M. Symbolism, Imagery & Allegory) in this carefully constructed novella to portray Daisy’ ...

Introduction

Tensile testing is usually conducted to select a material for its application, quality control, and to forecast how the material is likely to react on deployment of different types of forces. The properties evaluated through the tensile test include the ultimate tensile strength, the maximum elongation, X-area reduction and so forth. These evaluations facilitate determination of such properties as Young’s Modulus, yield strength, Poisson’s ratio, and the characteristics of strain hardening [1. 2]. Tensile testing on glass fibre is, thus, performed to determine the quality of the material it contains, and to ascertain its suitability for various applications.

Inpatient treatments are widely available throughout the country. The medical facilities that provide them have all the equipment and healthcare professionals needed to make sure that the care given is consistent and remains within the universally accepted protocols of medicine and health.

Literature review

When we talk about the artists from the 19th century, readers have prejudices about them as the authors of sentimental novels whose protagonists are mostly young girls who seek justice for themselves. This is not the case with Emily Dickinson. In order to understand her poems, readers need to have an insight in the social circumstances of the time when he lived. In these days, you were not supposed to have a public opinion, your job as a female, was limited to the running of the household and that was all. Even though Emily Dickinson was a mild and condescending person, her ...

1) "Halley's Comet" by Stanley Bunitz

This passage is meant to demonstrate the excitement and joy that young boys feel at the exciting and the new - the boy does not quite understand that his life and the lives of everyone else would end.

This visceral language makes the whole affair sound thrilling, and this appeals to the boy.

The portrait of black urban life that emerges from the poetry of Gwendolyn Brooks is a very mixed one.

Elsewhere she presents a largely pessimistic view of the black experience of urban life, but manages, at the same time, to demonstrate signs of hope.

In “We Real Cool” she uses the language of young black men to comment on their self-centredness ...

Abstract

Mentorship is a critical subject that has been founded to be the baseline behind good morals among youths today. While different theoretical constructs have been postulated to explain the concept of mentorship to the youths, a lot is yet to be exploited in this learning dynamics. On the other hand violence is antisocial habit that is associated with youths, and its manifestation has ravaged the social fabrics of the society. Thus, a cross-learning integration between a mentor and a mentee determines the formidable correlation and impacts that mentorship program is likely to trigger. Besides, the lessons that a mentee ...

Tricyclic antidepressants vs Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) in treatment of Depression

In recent decades, SSRIs have become the first-choice treatment for depression. The efficacy and acceptability, as well as cost-efficiency of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) versus the older tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are studied by many researchers. Most of scholars agree that the both classes of antidepressants are almost equally efficient (Marton, 2003.) According to Marton (2003), a small trend towards greater efficacy of TCAs was found when the outcome was measured in terms of depression scales, and towards SSRIs – in terms of global impression scores.
But Faravelli and colleagues (2003) argue that in most studied cases, ...

Mental Health Issues Influencing Academic Performance amongst Students in Australia

It is in the nation’s best interest that youth complete as high a level of education as they are capable because dropping out of school can greatly diminish an individual’s chances in life and the ability to contribute to the community.
