The Scientific style is a functional style of literary language, directing on the proving a hypothesis and creating new concepts.

...The prose “The Loom” is written by RL Sasika, this piece outlines how a mother’s sadness is expressed through the use of her loom’s colors. It introduces the reader to three daughters Jo, Linda and Sharon who got the loom for her mother. In fact it is the mother who tries to bring out happiness in her children. In reading this prose you get to know the mothers emotions with the use of symbolism and diction of the colors, each daughter tries to bring the mother out of sadness but in fact it is the mother who tries to make her family whole again through the use of symbolism. Throughout the prose the character of the writer uses a continuous metaphor to describe how the mother is sad with regards to the color she used while looming but the diction used is what really seals the deal. The voice of the author says: “She made sample after sample using the same subdued, muted colors” (Sasika line 10 &12). From the diction used, subdued and muted gives us insight on the character of the mother, a synonym of this is quite giving the reader the impression that the mother is also quite. Later on in the prose it goes on to say, “All in browns and neutral shades, the color she preferred”(Sasika), this line shows that the mother preferred colors, which reflected the mother’s sense of emotion through the use of the color of the string. The symbolism throughout the prose is portrayed by the different colors the mother uses to loom with which connects to her state of mind/emotion. She uses...

...In: English and Literature Tess of the D'Urbervilles Male Dominance Male Dominance in Tess of the D’urbervilles The Victorian era, as described by Professor of History and Women's & Gender Studies Nancy Reagin in her essay “Victorian Women: the Gender of Oppression”, witnessed the ideology of separate spheres in which society viewed men as independent and reasonable while viewing women as passive, dependent on men, emotional, and submissive. Men were given the governing role in which they would dominate society due to their ability to make rational decisions while women were expected to unquestionably fill the social roles that men decided for them, and those roles usually revolved around a woman’s duties as a mother and a wife. In marriage, a woman was expected to abide by the orders and views of her husband, and man and wife became one in terms of a woman’s rights, property, and identity. In Tess of the D’urbervilles, a book written in the Victorian Era, Hardy conveys this ideology of separate spheres in his portrayal of men and their dominance over women in society, primarily Tess. Their dominance is shown in how the men act as the masters of society, but it is also seen in how the women in Tess unquestionably view the men as the dominant gender. Often, the women are blindly influenced and act passively when interacting with male characters such as Alec and Angel. They are also seen to be very dependent on the men, and the men acknowledge that, for that is expected of...

...writers – responses to these assignments should appear in the portfolio. The original versions of anything you have translated don’t count toward the page total, of course; work for other courses does not count either, unless you’ve done workshops in class on the writing. Your final portfolio will contain the text of your presentation to the class of some work by a published writer you admire. MIDTERM PORTFOLIO This must be fifteen pages long, minimum. A page of poetry has twenty lines of poetry on it, on average. It is best to limit each page to one poem – though if you’re writing haikus, then that’s an exception. Single-space poems. Make sure your document has page numbers. Prose covers the whole page, but it’s double-spaced. If you’re writing short prose pieces (i.e. ‘flash fiction,’ ‘prose poems,’ ‘short shorts,’ etc.) then you may have lots of white space on the page. If this is the case, run the portfolio by me before you hand it in so that I can make sure it’s of acceptable length. Make sure your document has page numbers. FINAL PORTFOLIO The midterm’s fifteen pages PLUS fifteen new pages. Revisions of the first fifteen pages do not count as new material, unless you are substantially revising. Check this out with...

...Name: Lecturer: Course: Date: The Collaborator The author of this story, Mirza Waheed, was born in Srinagar. “The Collaborator” is his first work on novel writing and concerns a man caught in the Kashmir insecurity of 1990s. The Guardian has referred to the situation as devastating, haunting, and gripping. War has reached the border of Pakistan and Indian soldier’s gun down young men supposed to be militants from Nowgan village. Plot The protagonist of Mirza Waheed’s “The Collaborator” grows up in a somehow forgotten and deserted village next to a border. The border is neither a physical nor a real one, but is just a line separating former state for Kashmir into India and Pakistan. Confrontations between the Indian army and militants from Kashmiri characterize the events during the 1990s. Tragic events occurred and the haunting memories are still in the minds of many people (Shamsie 2013). The story opens at a very crucial time in the life of the narrator; he is maturing to a responsible adult. His role model is his father, a headman who would not desert his ancestral heritage even as others flee the village. The boy decides to remain by his father’s side. The villagers are terrorized and killed after applauding a government minister. He receives instructions from an Indian Army captain to collect possessions of the corpses lying helplessly in the valley. The corpses include those for Kashmiri militants, or rather freedom fighters who crossed the border line into Pakistan...

...“Think: The Teen Brain, Drugs & Psychosis” taken from Momentum Health Members, Jump Magazine (Issue 1, 2015), pg. 14-15. This informative, conversational style article, which is focused on parents of teenagers, about the dangers of drug usage to the brains of adolescents provides insight into how easily psychosis can be triggered when teenagers use drugs. The bold title and self-explanatory title picture immediately catch the eye: “THINK – THE TEEN BRAIN, DRUGS AND PSYCHOSIS” and is designed to make the reader pay attention, almost as if to say “Stop what you are doing and pay attention!” and is designed to provoke an interest with the reader with regards to the relationship between adolescent brains, drugs and psychosis – especially if that reader is a parent of a teenager/young adult. The stereotype of “Young people love to experiment” that the writer used in the lead of the article is used to build up to the probability of “disastrous effects” (“can have disastrous effects”). The lead of this article also creates a degree of certainty with the reader by stating “With the help of Dr.Lize Weich, psychiatrist at Stellenbosch University” – here the reader receives a certain level of assurance that the information that follows in the main body of the article is verified/endorsed/checked by a professional psychiatrist who is based at a professional institution. The easy to read and understand information contained in the main body is in a serious tone and makes the reader realize...

...Analysis of the text “Three men in a boat”. I’d like to tell you an extract from the novel “Three men in a boat”, written by Jerome K. Jerome. He is a well-known English writer, whose novels have enjoyed great popularity. He is famous for his art of story-telling, his vivid style and his humour which is generally expressed in laughter-provoking situations often based on misunderstanding. With sparkling humour he criticized the weak sides of human nature. The action is set at Sonning, a picturesque village on the bank of the Thames. The author describes the scenery, namely, a fairy-like nook of Sonning, where the main characters got out. The plot is about that George suggested to cook an Irish stew. The men agreed with George and said that it was a fascinating idea. George gathered wood and made a fire, Harris and the narrator started to peel the potatoes. The narrator had never thought it to be difficult. When the first potato was finished, George came and had a look at it. Then he told Harris and the narrator to scrape them since the potato was about the size of pea-nut. So, they did four potatoes. But George thought that it was absurd, so they washed half a dozen or so more and put them in without peeling. Then the author goes on to say that toward the end Montmorency brought a dead water-rat in his mouth, which he evidently wished to present as his contribution to the dinner. That rat rose up a discussion between George and Harris. After all Irish stew turned...

...Chapter 1 The French Revolution French Society during the Late Eighteenth Century 1774: Louis XVI of the Bourbon family of kings ascended the throne of France. Under Louis XVI, France helped America in gaining their independence from Britain. France was experiencing financial instability due to the long years of wars fought by her and the cost of maintaining an extravagant court at the palace of Versailles. Taxes were increased for meeting the expenses of maintaining an army, the court and running government offices or universities. The French Society was divided into three estates– First Estate: Clergy Second Estate: Nobility Third Estate: Big businessmen, merchants, court officials, lawyers, peasants, landless labourers and servants. The first two estates enjoyed certain privileges by birth which also excluded them from paying any taxes to the French government. The members of the third estate had to pay taxes to the State that included a direct tax called taille and a number of indirect taxes levied on the articles of daily consumption. Peasants served in the fields and houses of the privileged classes and they also built the roads and served in the army. The Church collected taxes known as tithes from the peasants. The price of the food grains increased with an increase in the demand for the same. Fixed-waged workers could not afford the expensive food grains. Hence, the gap between the poor and the rich widened. A growing Middle Class 18th...

...PROSES DIFUSI BUDAYA Proses difusi budaya adalah satu proses menyerap budaya orang lain ke dalam budayanya sendiri. Melalui proses difusi budaya, budaya akan diperkayakan dengan elemen-elemen etnik yang tidak wujud sebelum ini dimana budaya tersebut adalah asing bagi sesetengah masyarakat dan merupakan sesuatu yang baru buat mereka. Perlu dinyatakan bahawa proses difusi budaya ini adalah tidak merbahaya kerana kebiasaanya budaya asal masih lagi dikekalkan dan dipelihara oleh golongan masyarakat tersebut. Sebagai contoh, proses difusi budaya yang berlaku dalam negara kita,adalah disebabkan tanah melayu mempunyai kedudukan yang strategik dalam hubungan perdagangan antara pelbagai negara seperti China dan India, turut mengalami perubahan yang pesat. Pusat-pusat pelabuhan yang dibina di rantau ini menjadi pusat persinggahan pedagang-pedagang dari timur dan barat. Perkembangan pengaruh Hindu-Buddha ke alam Melayu dan kemudian munculnya kerajaan Melayu Hindu-Buddha telah berlaku proses difusi budaya. Proses difusi budaya ini mempercepatkan berlaku perubahan dan pembangunan budaya Melayu. Namun kekuatan asas budaya Melayu yang telah terbina sekian lama tidak membawa perubahan kepada struktur tradisi budaya. Perubahan yang berlaku itu merupakan penerimaan dan penyesuaian unsur-unsur budaya yang dibawa dari peradaban asing itu. Penerimaan pengaruh peradaban asing itu berpusat di istana golongan memerintah. Golongan memerintah menerima perubahan itu bagi menyesuaikan dengan pernyataan...

Explore how Hardy uses Form, Structure and Language to present Alec D’Uberville as the predatory villain of the novel. Weighting of Marks: AO1: 12/30 AO2: 15/30 AO4: 3/30 Notice that AO3 (comparison and different interpretations) is not given any marks in this essay, unlike the Drama Essay. In this essay, you are marked mainly for the style and structure of your argument, the use of terminology, and foremost, your ability to analyse Hardy’s use of Form, Structure and Language in shaping meaning. In looking at Alec’s characterisation, there needs to be a clear focus on how Hardy crafts his writing to manipulate the readers’ feelings and thoughts concerning Alec. An attention to close textual detail, analysing use of dialogue, description, narration, and settings will be needed. You also need to engage with how Hardy has used Form (the conventions of particular types of novel) and Structure, showing your awareness of the Chapters and Phases of the novel, signposting your writing clearly and showing understanding of how Hardy structures events to shift and change or develop our understanding of Alec’s character.
