... the psyche of an individual, it is in the end, the choice of the individual (John) to be who they become The whole concept of contradicts to everything John ever believed in. John came from a world where art and expression of variation from the society existed. People must face their problems and overcome them, and love requires commitment and is greatly appreciated. John was rather a Renaissance man trapped in a world where none of his necessities in life existed. He was disgusted at their orgy-porgies, their belief of take, take, take not give, give, give. Total happiness did not exist to John in a world which lacked expression of the arts. It was rath ...

... is based around the sports. No matter where you are from, sports will always play a role in the society. Many times in literature you can tell where the setting is or where the author is from by the way the community or society in the literature view sports. If you look at the literature that authors produce and where they are from, you will notice a common trend in all of their work. The cultural heritage of the writer affects the perspective in which they write from or about. The cultural heritage affects the writers perspective in many different ways, among them are stereotypes and the setting of the story and the everyday activities that the character go throu ...

... enters the Underworld, he sees numerous horrible sights: Grief, Disease, Old Age, Fear, Hunger, and several others. (Lines 356 - 379) These unsettling and dark words bring difficult images to the reader's mind. These lines foretell that there will be difficulties while Rome is in its infancy through phrases like "lonely night" and "phantom kingdom". Rome did indeed have difficulties in its infancy; in the 7th and 6th centuries BCE it was ruled by Etruscan kings and was only "... a little hill town." (Short Histories, p20) Lines 390 through 549 in The Aeneid deal with the crossing of the River Styx. This represents a great transition period in Rome. It symboliz ...

... there is an obvious use of culture’s mythology: “her journey to Pulotu has no dawn.” (p109) Pulotu is the spirit world in Polynesian mythology. In ‘The Mountains of Ta’u’ he draws on the famous legend of Maui: “like spinning tops or Maui’s endlessly / inventing mind.” (p110) Maui is an important part of Polynesian mythology; Maui is a demigod who is used to tell of many stories. There are also reflections of Polynesian cultural inheritances in Hone Tuwhare’s use of mythology in his poetry. Tuwhare was born in Kaikohe, and belongs to the Ngapuhi hapus Ngati Korokoro, Ngati Tautahi, Te P ...

... The characters seemed more et peace in their times of death than in some points of their lives. The novel Song of Solomon shows how the burdens of three characters, Hagar, Pilate, and Milkman, were resolved by their deaths. Hagar, the first main character to die with her burdens, is a character whose life revolved around her emotions and the positive, happy side of life. A vain and spoiled person from her birth, Hagar never knew the problems of racism and poverty as other people in her small, midwestern town knew and felt. Hagar's life was completely devoted to Milkman, her cousin and lover. "He is my home in this world." (pg. 137) Her happiness, Milkman, w ...

... by this girl, but at the end, the girl is replaced by the girl with an "English accent" attending the booth at the bazaar. This shows the power and persuasiveness that England has at that time over Dublin. The antagonist in this story, which can easily be determined is the culture and life in Dublin. This has a great effect on the boy and the rest of the people from this city. Dublin is referred to as the "center of paralyses,"(Internet) and "indeed sterile."(Joyce) This plays a huge role in the forming of this boy's life, where there is no fun. "Araby" is a story "of a soul-shriveling Irish asceticism, which renders hopes and dreams not only foolish, but sinf ...

... was married and she was something he wanted and could not have probably only made what he felt for her infatuation than love. As the book continues, though, I felt that Vronsky changed and became closer to Anna. He seemed to care for her and not just in a sexual way but, in a way that he would do anything for her to make her happy. I felt that before he had met Anna it was hard for him to feel love, yet did he try. The first time you meet Vronsky you get the feeling that he is someone who does not take love very seriously, girls were more that less an object of amusement. When he meets Anna this changes over time. She softens his heart and he grows to und ...

... will lose the mystique and grandeur of a play written in such a different time. The antiquity of the play may also prove beneficial to the translator, however, because it is this which enables him to have extensive creative license; no one alive today can claim to know exactly how the play is intended to be read. This opportunity for individual technique is exemplified and exercised by the two authors whose works are the basis of this essay, H. D. F. Kitto, and Michael Townsend. The first difference I noticed between the two translations was that the one produced by Kitto was substantially more proper than Townsend's. It gives the initial impression of being m ...

... fired, and a triple murder was committed. Two people were at the scene, Patty Valentine and a man, but there were no witnesses. The man next to the bodies said, “I was only robbin’ the register, I hope you understand.” Somehow this burglar is not suspected of the murder. The number one contender for the heavyweight title is not even near the shootings. It says “Meanwhile, far away in another part of town, Rubin and a couple of friends are drivn’ around.” But he was pulled over anyway “just like the before and the time before that. In Paterson, that’s just the way things go. If you’re black you might as well not show up on the street ‘less you wanna draw the ...
