He doesn’t tell anyone about the evil thoughts of his wives but kills them first before they try to kill him. Even when ...

A Tool of the Hero

The topic of my essay addresses how the wisdom of Odysseus is a tool he uses in order to complete his tasks as a heroic character. Without wisdom, which is not found in every hero or even heroic leader, this character would not exist; the poem would not exist. There would be in all essence no need for the story. This is why wisdom is so very important to the plot, character development and “moral of” the story. It was Yu’s article that gave me the inspiration for this topic. When reading the article I was drawn to ...

The obvious payoff is an enhanced experiential, virtual reality of the opera’s stage. The new technologies blur the lines between the opera’s stage and the motion picture common in ...

How to overcome racism if our own justice system is racial? We know that our nation has struggled a lot of unjust racial cases. For example, in the period of pre-civil war, the southern part of the United States was covered with slavery.

They were a property that white people could buy and sell, had no rights, and were not protected by the legislature. In 1865, Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery, and the modern days are known for the public fight with ...

Critical design/design fiction originates from graphic design authorship. Critical design utilizes design as a medium to display political, social, economic, and cultural issues. This approach has a close association to contemporary product design and is closely related to graphic design authorship, and the objects in critical design serve the function of acting as polemical actors. Besides, critical design consists of contemporary designers who have a critical attitude towards mainstream product design. These designers borrow from recent commercial design despite distancing themselves from it. Design fiction raises various themes in its agenda such as sexuality, technology, and genetics among others. ...

We have all been taught how every object and thing around us is made up of matter and that matter exists in three very basic states which are the solids, the liquids, and the gasses. Even within these solids, liquids and gasses are particles, and it is simply the arrangement of these particles which makes any matter form one of the three states. It is also because the major difference between the three states is how the particles behave around one another which make the transition possible in between one state of matter and the next. In simple words, ...

Her story illustrates the valorization of whiteness as treasured property in a society built on a racial castle (Harris, 1993).

How does the story of the Ugly Duckling in chapter four of the Pinkola Estes book relate to your OWN values, beliefs, experience and personal/professional understanding as a caring-healing, ethical nurse working with women?

John Dowland - Go, Crystal Tears from Book of Songs, Book 1 for solo voice and lute

1) In the beginning, it was strange and even a little bit uncomfortable to listen to it because it is so different from the music that I usually listen to. I never listen to such old music, so it took a few moments for me to open up my heart and mind to the music. I knew that the sound was beautiful, but because it was so unusual compared to what I usually listen to, it did not immediately attract my attention. When this initial shock wore off, I let myself sink into the song even more deeply. I ...

No matter which ...

Abstract

The basic principle of Marxist criticism is that society is divided in social classes that are in an antagonist relation, wherein the rich and strong exploit the poor and weak. In this sense, Walt Whitman’s poem “A Noiseless Patient Spider” does not reflect the exploitative relation that Marx sees as representative for society, but he rather describes the society of one, hence an atypical society. The solitude, isolation and desolation are feelings that appear throughout the story, so the reader can understand that possession, or a high social status is not as important as companionship, or when one ...

The story of Orpheus and Eurydice remains one of the most famed myths of ancient Greece. It is not only a tale that pulses with the timeless themes of beauty, love and loss, but it also reveals deeper aspects of the human experience regarding what it means to be god and man.

Grace Paley, in the work “A Man Told Me The Story of his Life” allows an immigrant to tell a hard wrenching version of his life story, in a few lines. The authors writing style, which is stripped down, and extremely bare, is used to accentuate the otherness of the main character, which places the theme of discrimination at the center of the story’s theme. Thus, Paley subtly makes a point about discrimination, the perpetuation of stereotypes, and the way that it impacts lives through the Vincente character. Though Vincente is a Spanish name, and it can be ...

Written in 1759, Voltaire’s Candide is an adventure novel that tracks the life of Candide, an innocent boy who is desperately in love with a girl. However, this love story is unusual in that Candide embarks on a number of journeys and faces tough situations, and all underneath a satiric writing style. Candide teases the archetypal coming-of-age novel and particularly literature’s representation of romantic love. As Nelly Severin points out: ‘Some critics have seen in Candide a parody of “romance” and Voltaire certainly used an array of “romance” commonplaces, such as shipwrecks, pirates, bastard births, abductions and ...
