Pastoral Worlds in the Mower PoemsThe pastoral mode of literature refers to poems about the rural world that can often be seen in an idealized way. Beginning with Virgil who adapted the pastoral by presenting the lives of the shepherd's in a more idealized way and also used it to indicate contemporary political problems. The pastoral mode is the hallmark of the renaissance style and sonnet. The pastoral is considered to be a mode rather than a genre because it is a way of thinking and it can allow for a range of different opinions based on its varying content. Pastoral literature can be considered in a natural and/or artificial light depending on how it is interpreted. In pastoral literature we are able to see both the natural aspects and the simplicity of life, as well as the definite contrast of the corruption and pollution of the city, which expresses the artificialities seen in pastoral poetry. It was during the period of the English Civil War when poet Andrew Marvell (1621-1678) wrote his collection of the fou |

An Argument for Open AdoptionTwo people fall in love - they have a baby and all of a sudden, they become mom and dad! The unimaginable joy and pride, the time spent thinking about suitable names; who will they look like? Which kindergarten should they go to? What about saving up for college? And then there's their first word, their first step, their first day at school, their first date. But for some, these dreams are shattered before given the chance to dream - instead of dreaming, they are grieving. These mothers became pregnant too young, haven't enough financial support, were unmarried, the list is endless. Adoption becomes the only option. Parents who aren't ready will never have to worry about bringing up an unwanted child; parents who are unable to have children gain one for whom they can love and care. It's a win-win solution. But no one understands the sense of rejection and abandonment that the child goes through: anger that their records are sealed, furious that they were never told about their adop |

Marche Slave by TchaikovskyMarche Slave is a new piece for me. Although some fragments have a recognizable sound to me, I am sure that I have not ever listened to this particular piece. It reminds me to some melodies from the Disney movie, "Aladdin," but I would say it is only a coincidence of styles and they are completely different tunes. I am not very well-versed in classical music despite I really enjoy it. However, I already knew Tchaikovsky before doing this assignment. I have listened to specific fragments from some of his most famous works such as, "Swan Lake," "The Nutcracker," and, "Romeo and Juliet." The comments on the YouTube link helped me in some way. Apart from the commentaries relative to nationalist issues or those related to hatred, semitism, or a hypothetical Slavic supremacy, I found some interesting musical clues. As far as I read, most of these musical comments discussed the relation between Mozart and this Russian genius. Some of the users suggested that Mozart's style was weak compared |

HIV/AIDS - The Unfortunate TruthIn America about 1 million people are living with HIV. However, 1 in 7 of those people go years without even know they are effected. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus, which is a virus that can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or AIDS. Unlike some other viruses, the human body cannot get rid of HIV, and there is no medicine that can cure you of it at his time. Meaning, once you are infected with HIV, you have it for life. The exact origin of HIV/AIDS is controversial and widely unknown. We do not know the first person to be infected, or how it spread from the initial person to others. There are many theories on how it came about but studies do suggest that it originated in Africa, and due to modern traveling it was able to spread out of Africa quickly. Although HIV/AIDS had been around for many years, it was first brought to the public's eye in the 80's by America. In America, HIV/AIDS was mostly spread through gay men, blood transfusio |

A Look at American ConsumerismConsumerism, a social and economic order and ideology that encourages the consumption of products. Stewart Ewen, in his essay "Chosen People" addresses the topic of consumerism in the middle class of America and suggests different negative effects. He supports his claim by describing the nature of the industrial economy, his two contrasting views, followed by the different status identities. Alongside Ewen, writers J.M. Morgan in "Citizenship, Consumerism, and the Pursuit of Excellence" and Jill Bickford in "Consumerism: How it Impacts and its Presence in Library Collections" further expand his claim, the consumerist and mass-production effects on the middle class. Ewen's purpose is to inform the reader of the materialistic rise in the American modern middle class. He wants his audience to realize how consumerism has created an identity crisis in the middle class. Ewen takes an unorthodox position on the rise of the middle class and he investigates how c |

The Holocaust in Night and Life is BeautifulThe Holocaust is a tragic event that took place in Europe from 1940 to 1945 where over five million men, women and children were murdered by the Nazis which consisted of Gestapo and SS officers. Most/many of the victims were European Jews who were considered undesirable by Nazi Germany. The Holocaust inspired many novels, movies and documentaries that portrayed the struggle of the prisoners in the concentration camps such as the novel "Night" written by Elie Wiesel and the Italian film "Life is Beautiful". "Night" was written by one of the many victims of the brutal treatment by the Nazis, Elie Wiesel, who was sent with his family to Auschwitz, Birkenau one of the many concentration camps in Europe. "Life is Beautiful" is a non fiction Italian film about an Italian family that was sent to a concentration camp. "Night" illustrates how Elie's love for his father saved him from death in the camp while the film shows how a father shields his son, Giosue, from the horror of the Holocaust and ultimately sacrificed his life for his son. Both "Night" and "Life is Beautiful&quo |

Virgil's Aeneid Influence - Dante's InfernoThroughout the semester, we have read multiple texts that have influenced and paralleled with the reading of other texts from the semester. In particular, Virgil's Aeneid was the most influential in my reading of Dante Alighieri's Inferno. During the course of reading Dante's Inferno, I quickly began to notice similarities and parallels with Virgil's Aeneid. The themes and elements of: epic poetry, fate and spirits as a motivational force contributed to my reading of Inferno in a way that allowed me to realize their significance by recalling their similar occurrences in Aeneid. In Virgil's Aeneid, the narrator (Aeneas) recounts on the story of his sorrowful journey during the fall of Troy. This type of narration is referred to as epic poetry. One of the main things that I drew from this poem, regarding its epic content, was that every aspect of Aeneas' journey seemed to aim at a desired end, which was for him to lead his people to Italy. Having made this connection of epic poetry from Aeneid, It was easy for me to realize the same connection in Inferno. The narrator in Inferno (Dante) recounts on his fearful journey through hell in search of salvation |

Let's Go GreenUVOD People are not aware of the consequences of their actions, until it's already to late, so with the comparison of the facts presented in this video we hope you will realise the importance of the problem that we are facing RECYCLING Two girls. One recycles and one doesn't the one who recycles really spends more time to separate the trash, but the girl who is not recycling at the end of the month gets high bill for waste disposal. People everyday produce enormous quantities of waste which pollutes our land, water and air. Developed countries have already adopted measures for implementing strict rules on dividing waste and recycling. For the ones that disobey the rules there are high fines. The waste is shredded, grindedground and smashed into smithereens, processed and used again.

Ancient Artifacts - The Rosetta StoneAncient artifacts have always been a topic of concern. Their preservation and safety is one of the most delicate, time-consuming and tedious tasks that the world has to carry out in today's modern time. It is important to make sure that they don't get lost amidst the fast and technologically oriented world of today. These artifacts are the only shreds of history that not only help us decipher the stories of past civilizations but also present a means to understand how people in the past lived and survived, communicated and thrived. One such artifact of utmost importance is the Egyptian Rosetta Stone. The Rosetta stone was discovered in July 1799 by French officer, Pierre Francois Xavier Bouchard. There is strong belief that the Rosetta stone should be sent back to Egypt, which is its birthright. The history of the Rosetta stone is qui |

History of Juvenile Justice ReformThe history of the juvenile justice system is long and winding. As society evolved and nations developed, perspectives regarding children changed drastically. In the 17th century, for example, children tended to be regarded as "little adults". Rather than being carefully educated and protected from the more unsavory aspects of life, children "learned their roles and expectations by wandering through the world of adults. They played adult games, performed adult jobs, dressed like adults, and basically led adult lives from a very early age," [ CITATION May12 l 1033 ]. It makes sense, then, that they were held accountable for their actions in the same manner that adults were. With the progression of society, however, the concept of "childhood" began to emerge, and eventually led to the formation of the juvenile justice system. The idea that the very young are unable to understand the difference between right and wrong is not a new one. William Blackstone, a |

Trash Talking, Body Language and Aggression in SportsTrash-talk is a form of boast or insult commonly heard in competitive situations like sporting events. It is often used to intimidate the opposition, but can also be used in a humorous spirit. Trash-talk is often characterized by use of hyperbole, or figurative language. It may also be referred to as sledging. Trash-talk was commonly used by the heavy-weight boxing champion Muhammad Ali in the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, it has become common for boxers, wrestlers, and other sports competitors to use trash-talk. Trash talking in amateur sports ranks is generally discouraged and frowned upon (especially in youth leagues). Trash-talk is very effective in many sports such as basketball, because a lot of the professional athletes do not have a proper education and are illiterate coming into the league as their entire childhood life is spent playing the sport. So many athletes use this technique to get under their skin, which in turn effects their performance during the game. It usually le |

Ivor Gurney - Trapped in MemoryDuring the early 20th century, Britain began to see the spread of education, across all levels of society, molding the public to be more literate. In the 1930's, Britain saw a boom in literature publications with poets writing about and during the war. The horrors of World War 1 created an immense market allowing British authors, both professionals and amateurs, the leeway to express what they witnessed in the frontline (Das 9). However, only a few are still known and remembered today for their unique and fascinating technique of delivery. Among those: Ivor Gurney, whose development of poems of originality, broken poetic form, urgency for change in attitude and disruptiveness call of the war, has made him one of the great World War I poets. Gurney, born in Gloucester, England, possessed a dynamic personality that was troubled by mood swings that became worse after his participation in the war. This traumatic combat led to Gurney's change of thinking and transformation of language, evok |

Banksy and the Influence of GraffitiIs Graffiti Art? ft. Banksy Whether graffiti is an art form or crime has been a long standing debate between graffiti writers and the public since graffiti made its way into pop culture in the early 1980's. To many, graffiti is not viewed as being art because of its vandalistic qualities, unconventional presentation, and insignificant meaning, but does graffiti's presentation and often-illegal location necessarily disqualify it as art? To most graffiti writers, their 'pieces' mean a lot more than just illegally spray-painting their scribbles for fun; it's merely their identity and a risky lifestyle in which they choose and live and love. Banksy is a world-renowned graffiti artist and political activist who brings light to the debatable art form of graffiti by creating thought-provoking pieces that comment on culture and society and are quite beautiful as well. Banksy's pieces have made their way into the spotlight countless times throughout the world and seem to be loved and res |

Short Story - The Long TripIt was an oddly warm winter day. I had just left school early because I felt horrible. The last thing I wanted was to be sick. Especially since the next day was my 5th grade class's bowling trip. Once my dad and I arrived at the doctor's office, we went through normal procedures: filling out paperwork, waiting, and finally being called back. After being called back, the nurse asked for my symptoms. I told her that I was coughing, had a pressure in my chest, and was fatigued. She wrote it all down and said "The doctor will be in shortly." However, we all know that is a lie. A child can hit puberty before the doctor ever shows up! After what seemed like decades of waiting, he finally can in and said, "We are going to give a shot. Now this shot isn't like a normal shot. This one will go into your right hip just above your butt cheek." At first, I thought, "I'll be fine. Shots don't bother me." That all changed when I saw the needle. The damn thing had to be as long as an unsharpened pencil! "Now we have put some numbing in this. What I am giving you is a pneumonia sh |

Macbeth - The Dead Butcher and His Fiend-Like QueenAs is only expected in traditional tragedy, Shakespeare's dark tale Macbeth, concludes with a righteous character, Malcolm, the heir to the Throne of Scotland, commenting on what has passed. He magnanimously invites all present to join him at Scone, the customary venue for coronations in mediaeval Scotland, after insulting Macbeth and his wife as 'this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen'. Macbeth has killed his father, Duncan, and usurped his own position as the monarch in Scotland; Malcolm has every justification to have utter contempt for, and to degrade Macbeth as 'smacking of every sin that has a name'. Indeed, as Hecate points out earlier, he is certainly 'a wayward son', who 'spiteful, and wrathful loves for his own ends', a man capable of propagating a series of crimes so hideous that the Natural Order is inverted. The goodly Duncan and other innocents are murdered so that he can gain safe passage to the throne - and keep it. But this is not all that t |
