...mostly known for writing mocking and satirical poems in his Hudibras, which were based on the English Protestants. The poem “She was too kind” was written in 1901 after Ms. Eliza Savage’s Death which portrays the feeling of regret and how he ill – treated her. Literary criticism theories such as Marxism, feminism, new historicist and many more, helps the reader to interpret and understand the text. New Historic theory is used to look at the history of the poet and the critic itself to understand the meaning behind the poem. Tragic love is the theme of the poem, and it shows the reader that love was not fulfilled between the two people. One did not accept the love of another. One can consider that “She was too kind” is the greatest poem ever because when one understand the history of the poem between the poet and Eliza, it can be determined that the poet used imagery, repetition and alliteration to convey the tragic love between Miss Savage and the poet himself. New Historicist theory developed by Stephen Greenblatt is another tool that can be used to interpret what the poem is about. The poet’s history and the critic’s history is intertwined as it is about Samuel’s love life. The poet was married to a woman named Ms. Morgan Herbert, who was a widow. When Samuel returned to Britain from his trip to New Zealand, he met Eliza Savage in person. Even when he was in New Zealand, he used to submit the chapters to her for approval. A year or two later,...

...mountains of Canada, there is an old abandoned log cabin. Once it was occupied by a young couple who wanted to distance themselves from the chaos of this modern world. Here they were miles away from the nearest town. Bob, the husband, made the occasional trip into town to buy supplies whereas Jan, his wife, spent her free time by the fire, sewing. Their life was simply idyllic. Then, one midwinter's day, Jan woke up from bed with a strange ache in her bones. Putting it down to overwork, Bob shooed her to bed and made sure she rested. Though Jan was impatient to get to her chores, Bob soothed her, "Relax, Sugar. You're overdoing things. All these chores will be here when you recover." However, Jan seemed to be getting worse instead of recovering. By evening, she was running a high fever and in greater pain. In spite of his best efforts, Bob could not manage to ease her suffering. And then suddenly, she started to lapse into unconsciousness. It was then obvious that she was seriously ill. What could Bob do? He had no experience in treating the sick and Jan was getting worse by the minute. He knew that there was an old doctor in town but he lived three miles away, downhill. Pot-bellied and obese, there was no way the doctor could make it up to their cabin. Something had to be done quickly! Bob racked his brains but to no avail. The only thing left to do was to go to the doctor. In Jan's condition, she could never walk that far in the waist-deep snow. Bob would have to...

...Exchange Commission (SEC) was reeling in the wake of harsh but justified criticism for failing to predict, control or even contain the global financial crisis. Under its watch, fraudster Bernard Madoff managed to ¬operate the largest Ponzi scheme in history and Wall Street stalwart Lehman Brothers collapsed, taking billions of dollars, business confidence and reputations down with it. It was a heady time with traders investing in schemes they, let alone the regulators, didn’t understand and whose behaviour they couldn’t predict. Related: SEC skirmishes over standards The SEC, along with many of the world’s financial regulators, was starkly exposed as ill-equipped to deal with the chaos erupting across the globe. The US Government snapped into crisis mode and took the extraordinary move of handing the ¬financial sector a multibillion-dollar bailout. But still the economy shook. Enter Mary Schapiro, a career regulator, to rescue a languishing SEC. Her job was to assess what went wrong and to ensure it didn’t happen again. ¬ Schapiro was appointed by US President Barak Obama as the 29th chairman of the SEC and its first female chair – though that fact, she says, got lost in the enormity of the task assigned to her. “When I joined in June 2009, my thought was of restoring the agency’s vigour and credibility within the financial regulatory community,” Schapiro told INTHEBLACK during a visit to Sydney recently. “I understood how really critical it was to the success of our...

...and M and use your own knowledge. Do you agree with the view, expressed in source M that Mary Seacole was treated differently from Florence Nightingale because she was black? Throughout her time helping soldiers in the Crimean War, May Seacole was admired for her skills as a nurse. On her return to England, her reputation was forgotten whilst Florence Nightingale was exalted. Source M implies that the differing treatment of these two women was as a result of racial prejudice: Mary Seacole was forgotten because of the colour of her skin. Source L attributes Mary’s different treatment to her behaviour and abilities as a nurse rather than the colour of her skin. Therefore, whilst the issue of race can not be ignored, I believe that Mary Seacole was simply seen as a less able nurse and thus was treated differently to Florence Nightingale. Florence Nightingale (Source L) outlines a number of reasons why she would not provide Mary Seacole with a reference or employment during the Crimean War. She quotes ‘drunkenness’ and the rumour that Seacole ran a ‘bad house’ (i.e. brothel). Nightingale also implies that Seacole duped the Officers of the Army into believing that she cared for the soldiers and that Nightingale herself knew the truth. This is not explicitly about the colour of Mary’s skin. There seem to be questions over Seacole’s ability as a nurse. In a time when nursing was becoming increasingly professional, concerns might well have been raised over the less formal training...

...order to paint a picture of female marginalisation in the world today. By first examining the titles of each of the three poems, we may gain a more comprehensive understanding of what Carol Ann Duffy is attempting to convey before examining the full textual body. ‘Whoever She Was’ captures the solemn echo of the narrators plight. The past tense acts to separate her current being from ‘Whoever’ she was when her children were young and she had motherly duties to tend to. The blasé use of ‘Whoever’ may at first convey to us that she does not show remorse to the changes she has undergone since her children left. When considered with the context of the poem and her fixation on the past, however, it becomes evident that ‘whoever’ and indeed the third person, ‘she’ is used to accent the gulf between her present state and that of her motherly role. ‘Recognition’, as a title, serves to place the unattainable on a pedestal. The narrator identifies the shortcomings and severe mundanity that has become intrinsic to her life and now only wants ‘recognition’ for it. This is indeed the unattainable due to the patriarchal society she dwells in. A man cannot understand exactly what a woman goes through and she knows it. Lastly, we have ‘Standing Female Nude’, a title that mimics the overriding...

...numb as she knelt, her palms on the ground, her head trying to contemplate the situation only to give up at last. If only she had something, just one thing to stand up for. She didn’t. She bowed down acknowledging her failure. Filled with hatred, the only thing she wanted was an end. An end to all that she ever stood for and an end to everything she ever felt. The cold turned the road to ice or was it ice itself? She could not answer. She felt as if she was in the last place she wanted to be. She felt as if she was home. She did not know for sure. She knew nothing. Her tears made her vision foggy. In the vague vision, she saw a little girl ice skiing. She was smiling. She felt that the innocent face had the conjuration that could not be found in the most beautiful place of the earth. She looked at her wondering where she had seen that little face. It did not belong there for sure. She tried to move. She tried calling out. All attempts failed. Her knees were numb and her throat had dried. The only sound that came was of the involuntary sobs, that came from her and yet they seemed to her as the sound that was beyond identification, yet it was not something she wanted the little girl to hear so she stayed still. She was afraid. She did not have a reason to be. She waited for the little girl to vanish; and till she waited, she could do nothing but stare at her. She could only imagine her jumping like a baby monkey hopping on a tree or throwing water on the earth as she hid behind...

...with a brother of sister, but that was not the case for Vivian. Throughout the novel Vivian goes through multiple changes during her life. Many of these changes dealt with changing her name. Every times she changed her name something else also changed inside of her. Whether it was the way she looked or the way that she was treated. Throughout Christina Baker Kline’s novel, Orphan Train, every time Vivian changed her name something else also changed inside of her; such as, the roles she played with the different names At birth Vivian was giving the name Niamh power by her parents, and with that name she play a mother figure herself and her siblings. She only spent the first couple of years with her real family before she became an orphan. During her time with her real family she took the mother role and took care of her younger siblings. She was always preparing food for them such as in this case, “Mam wasn’t much of a cook even in the best of her health, and some days she didn’t bother to try. More than once, until I learned to cook, we ate raw potatoes from the bin” (Kline 20). This shows that the role of young Niamh was too not only take care of herself but also her siblings. She took this responsibility because she knew that her own mother was not going to get out of bed to take care of them. She also had to learn from her own mistakes because no one was there to help her learn. This role made her grow up fast because she knew that if she did not her siblings were not going...

...Christine was a little girl, she has been surrounded by people who have served her beautiful nation. Her father, Arnold Anderson, was one of them. He served in the Pacific Theater, specifically Guadalcanal, during World War II. Being stationed there wasn't the most desirable task to be given as it was extremely dangerous, but his immense love for his country conquered that fear. When she was little, Christine was very intrigued by the work that her father did, so she would obsessively ask him about his military service. Of course, he only told her the pleasant stories, which was an attempt to try and shield her from the vileness of war. Another person who had a monumental influence on her decision to serve was her next door neighbor. He was a Marine, and she absolutely idolized him. From the stories that her father told her, she believed that the military was laid back, but that perception was shattered once she entered high school. The Vietnam War was broadcast every single night during dinner, and her...
