Starting with the nerves you may feel “The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs,” explaining how nervous and anxious feelings can arise from pain. She says “The stiff Heart questions,” which can be relatable to how deep, sincere pain can make your heart feel stiff, and sad, and all the many questions you may ask yourself after losing someone close to you. She says “This is the Hour of Lead – Remembered, if outlived, As a freezing persons, recollect the Snow-“ touching base with the fact that no matter what, you will always remember this feeling of pain, like a person stuck in the snow will always remember the snow. Next she says “First – chill- then Stupor- then the letting go” , describing, basically, the whole process of losing someone you love. First you feel cold, stiff hearted, hurt, and next you go into a slump of stupor or sadness, and then there comes the part where you have to let go of that person and come to peace with your...

...other improver. Watching the group I could tell the group had excellent chemistry, they work as a well oil machine. As a group they have much respect for each other, they never talk over each other giving each other a moment to add information to the scene. Also, if a performer is adding information the whole group will go along with the new information. If someone was to deny the information that was given the scene would mostly likely have an awkward moment of negativity. The performers were also great at saying no but, still adding information that kept the scene moving. However I feel that some of the scenes move a little too fast not letting them get to the climax of the funny in the scene. Overall the group understood each other allowing the scene to...

...loving parents. In this story, mirror played a very important role in helping the main character to rediscover herself, this leads us to wonder about how we people really see in this world. Therefore in a two-way mirror, which side are you on? The primary literary technique that is used in this story is monologue. It is the only way the story is portrayed as through the eyes of the mother and Marianne so that the story is presented with the emotions of the characters. The italicised parts of the short story represent the inner speech of Marianne while the normal text represents the mother’s point of view. This pattern continues all the way until the very last line of the story where Marianne’s speech is no longer italicized. The significance of this change will be discussed later in the next few paragraphs. Each character is similar in their characteristics. Marianne is in a state of comatose with poor medical prognosis of ever opening her eyes again. In her despair she had developed a secondary will that denied her very existence. Marianne’s split will saw herself as a separate existence, and through it, she hopes to lessen the suffering the “other” Marianne might have to go through, if she were to die. Through her henceforth doppelganger, Marianne maintained the façade of denial until she was shown her own reflection on the mirror. Through the mirror, the revelation of herself proved to be a catalyst for her acceptance of who she is, and sparking a miracle which to see her...

...the people that the death of Caesar was unjust and that the conspirators were at fault. This led the conspirators to be targeted and be driven out of Rome and, eventually, enter into a civil war of sorts. Traditionally, there is one more key component of a tragic hero left in Brutus’ character, the tragic flaw. Luckily, Brutus’ motives could not be crystal clear. Brutus is a man driven by his desire to maintain his honor and his patriotism. When Brutus is convinced to aid in the tyrannicide of Julius Caesar, his closest friend, it becomes clear that Brutus would sacrifice his friendships to do what he perceives as best for Rome as a whole. When he is about to go into battle, Cassius asks Brutus if he will surrender if he is captured. To this Brutus says, “No, Cassius, no; think not, thou noble Roman, that ever Brutus will go bound to Rome; he bears too great a mind” (5.3.110-112). Brutus stands firm in his belief and he will fight to is death to defend a cause that he believes in. Aside from the traditional elements of a tragic hero, Shakespeare’s tragic heroes have their own distinct characteristics. Shakespeare adds complexity to his characters. He may show opposing desires of the character or express that a character has conflicting ideas. In the case of Marcus Junius Brutus, he loves Caesar but he thinks it would be most beneficial to help assassinate him. When asked by cassius if Brutus would ever have Caesar as a king he responds, “I would not, Cassius, yet I love him well”...

...The Value of Shakespeare Today What makes Shakespeare stand out from other playwrights of his era is his deep understanding of human nature and the human condition, the timelessness of his works, and hi exquisite mastery of the English language. The Renaissance (during which he wrote) was a particularly transformative time in English history, initiating a sense of English nationalism and pride in English as a language of art. Some critics continue to challenge his authenticity and relevance making the future of Shakespeare within the curriculum of both secondary school and higher education at stake. Shakespearean Literature still speaks to modernity and is therefore important in the schools. Humanism, mastery of the English language, English nationalism, and pride in English Language as an art is brought forth in works such as, As You Like It, King Henry V, and The Tragical History of Hamlet Prince of Denmark. Students need to learn these works in order to have a broadened understanding of the English Language, culture, and history. William Shakespeare has provided the world with guidelines to the English Language, an understanding of human nature, and the ability to deal with a wide variety of emotional situations through his performative literature. Students will continue to benefit from his works of art for centuries to come. Therefore, a 446-year-old playwright is our children’s best resource and greatest teacher. During the Renaissance, the English Language was undergoing...

...Communication is the most important aspect of negotiation. Communication is a dialogue in which each person explains his or her position and listens to what the other person is saying. During this exchange of views, proposals are made, and concessions explored. The reason for communication is for each party to gain something from the negotiations table. The consumer is looking for a bargain and the salesman is looking for a profit at the end of the negotiation. A major weakness of inexperienced negotiators in any cultural context is their inability to listen carefully to what the other person is saying. Their main concern is usually to present their case and then to counter objections made by the other side. This approach can only lead to a monologue, not a discussion. The perception that good negotiators talk continuously and dominate the discussions to achieve optimum results is false. In reality, skilled negotiators spend more time listening, and asking questions to ensure that they understand fully the other side than in talking. The ability to listen effectively is fundamental to the success of any business negotiation. Good listeners do more than listen - they think, analyze, assess what the other side is saying. They hear everything that’s being said, using each word as a negotiation ploy, By listening attentively, a negotiator can obtain valuable information about the other side and eventually gain more negotiating power. Effective listening contributes to identifying alternatives...

...subjugation they faced from the men in their lives and from society. In the novel, The Color Purple, by Alice Walker, the narrator is an abused black woman named Celie. Walker uses this unique protagonist to comment on the racism, sexism, and abuse of women that was so prevalent in the early 1900s. Walker used Celie’s inner monologue (in the form of letters to God and her sister Nettie) to convey the overarching message of the novel; the power of finding that inner voice that leads to freedom from the oppression of society’s expectations. Celie started off the book as a powerless victim of the men in her life with no voice. Walker uses Celie’s first person point of view to tell her life story of abuse and submissive silence. Celie’s only form of communication about her thoughts and feelings are through letters to God that are brief at first but then are more complex as Celie gets more confident and finds her voice. In the beginning, Celie’s inner voice had been beaten into silence at an early age by her abusive step-father and later by her husband with emotional and physical abuse. She survived by “[not] fight(ing)… stay[ing] where (she) told” and staying silent letting her step father believe that she is” too dumb to keep going to school” (Walker 2.254, 3. 342) Celie was only able to find her voice once she stood up to her husband and confronted him about his abuse telling him “youse children is rotten”, “why you beat me for what you done to them?” (Walker 7.94,7.92) Once Celie found...

...of mans fall, and his separation from God and faith. This story bleeds symbolism, even the most clear cut things like Young Goodman Brown’s name has a meaning behind it. Hawthorne didn’t just use any old name, he put meaning behind it. Young Goodman Brown symbolizes youth and good nature. Brown is a young man throughout the story, and his youth suggests that he has yet to be corrupted by the world and is still innocent. Browns wife Faith undoubtedly symbolizes actual faith in God; just as God is with us, during Browns journey in the forest she was with him. She is not physically with him, but she speaks to Brown, and he hears her voice and cries out to her. In the beginning before Brown goes off to the forest for good, she tells him not to go. “Prithee put off your journey until sunrise and sleep in your own bed to-night. A lone women is troubled with such dreams and such thoughts that she’s afraid of...

...some sort of aphrodisiac. I got the impression that Cleopatra was spraying a type of ‘love potion’ in the air and every person who first saw her, would begin to fall in love with her. “Stood pretty dimpled boys, like smiling Cupids,” (2.2.208) backs this up, that even the young boys stood awe struck by her, even though she was twice the age they were. Cleopatra is outwardly seducing the Roman crowd and she using her intelligence to do so. By letting out this aroma of feminine mystique that no proper male would be able to reject, she’s ‘poisoning’ all of the men, especially Antony. When he first glances upon her, “she pursed up his heart upon the river Of Cydnus.” (2.2.192) Antony was already gone the first moment he saw her and I took great notice of the fact that the scene only focused on Antony’s infatuation and not Cleopatra’s. I found a great picture on Google of Cleopatra’s entrance to Rome and I wanted to discuss how important this was to Cleopatra’s character. The painting shows the exact scene in which Enobarbus is giving him monologue on. Cleopatra is riding in on her boat, surrounded by her servants who are pampering her as they always do. She is the foreground of the picture; my eyesight immediately went to her and that seemed very important to me. Just as all the people in Rome gravitated towards her in person, I did so too while looking at the picture. She is draped against her throne, a small crown on her head. Her tunic is see-through and looks to be a little wet...

...loA Telephone Call Analysis REALISTIC, MODERNIST PLOT, 1st person monologue A Telephone Call brings up issues such as the constraints of society and the different places men and women occupy it all through a simple device, the telephone. The character in this story is awaiting a call from her lover, who promised to call but has not. The woman goes through a variety of emotions including anger, hope, and despair. Parker uses this very uncomplicated situation to highlight the power dynamics to be found in relations between men and women, and the problems etiquette creates in these relations. The telephone is an important part of this story. There are specific social rules for using the telephone and they place men and women in different and unequal positions of power. Social rules around people of the opposite sex who are dating are especially restrictive. Women are not supposed to call men, men are supposed to call them. This gives men more power than women, as they can decide whether to call or not. The main conflict in this story is the woman's inability to do what she wants. She would like to call her lover but afraid to do so because society has taught her that men dislike women to call them. This leaves her stuck and unable to do anything but rationalize why her lover hasn't called, play mind games with herself in an attempt to make him call, rage because he hasn't, and beg God to make him call. In her article "On the Wire with Death and Desire: The Telephone...

These interconnected computers work by transmitting data through a special type of packet switching which is known as the IP or the internet protocol. Internet is such a huge network of several different interlinked networks relating to the business, government, academic, and even smaller domestic networks, therefore internet is known as the network of all the other networks. These networks enable the internet to be used for various important functions which include the several means of communications like the file transfer, the online chat and even the sharing of the documents and web sites on the WWW, or the World Wide Web. It is always mistaken said that the internet and the World Wide Web are both the same terms, or are synonymous. Actually there is a very significant difference between the two which has to be clear to understand both the terms. The internet and World Wide Web are both the networks yet; the internet is the network of the several different computers which are connected through...

...The Necklace vs. The Story of an Hour Pamela Richard ENG 125 Lesa Hadley May 11, 2012 The Necklace vs. The Story of an Hour A short story, “The Necklace” (“La parure”) written by Guy de Maupassant in 1884 and a poem, ‘The Story of an Hour” written by Kate Chopin in 1894 are literary works that are very comparable yet are different. The two women, Madame Mathilde Loisel and Louise Mallard, portrayed in these literary works are protagonists who have trouble because of conflicting expectations imposed on them by society. Both Mathilde Loisel and Louise Mallard want something more than what their lifestyle offers them. During the time when the authors wrote these pieces, the social behaviors showed gender suppression/oppression. This essay will compare and contrast elements of content, form, and style between two different literary works. Both authors chose the theme of gender roles in marriage. During the time when the authors wrote theses pieces, the social behaviors showed gender suppression/oppression. The nineteenth century was impacted by the industrial revolution which caused a gap in gender roles, especially in the upper and middle classes (Radek, 2001). Men and women were thought to have completely different natures. Men were considered to be powerful, brave, rational and independent. Women were considered weak, timid, emotional, and dependent. Those differences separated their functions in society. "Men were thought to have natures suited to the public...
