1,508 words
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov Vladimir Nabokov's
Lolita is considered now to be one of American
literatures masterpieces, even though the explicit
sexual nature of this novel resulted in public
controversy. Basically, Lolita is the apology of a
pedophile. Contemporary critics suggest that it is
impossible to figure out what the author was
trying to tell us in this novel, as it is
completely deprived of moralistic underlining. At
the same time, we cant consider Lolita as a
literary form of ones worl...

Reading The Story Heritage
658 words
Literature Heritage My first impression after I
have started reading the story by Alice Walker was
confusion. I could not understand the main issue
of the heritage in connection to the story. But
with coming closer to the end, the thoughts were
brought in order. I now see that the understanding
of heritage is absolutely different between
people, and sometimes the notion is used by these
people only for achieving some of their goals.
While reading the story I had several questions in
my mind: how...

Main Idea Bad News

Business Communication 1. In general, the direct
approach is fine when the audience will be
receptive: eager, interested, pleased, or even
neutral. If they will be resistant to the
message-displeased, disinterested, or
unwilling-one would generally have better results
with the indirect approach. One has to bear mind,
however, that each message is unique. Managers
cannot solve all of their communications problems
with a simple formula. If youre sending bad news
to outsiders, for example, an indir...

some of the best intrigue and espionage novels in

of symbolism in William Faulkner's A Rose for
Emily. Authors traditionally use symbolism as a
way to represent the sometimes intangible
qualities of the characters, places, and events in
their works. In his short story A Rose for Emily,
William Faulkner uses symbolism to compare the
Grierson house with Emily Grierson's physical
deterioration, her shift in social standing, and
her reluctance to accept change. When compared
chronologically, the Grie...

would most definitely be in the topmost group of
individuals. Right alongside Rev. Martin Luther
King Jr. , Gen. Colin Powell, and Homey the Clown.
However, his methods differed greatly from the
methods of those two, but he was greatly
influential nevertheless. He increased racial
tension, whereas Martin Luther King attempted to
decrease it, and preach equality. This is probably
the main reason that we...

Creates This Irony Upbeat Tone Reader
704 words
In the short story The Lottery by Shirley Jackson,
setting plays an important key role. It creates
irony because the ending of the story completely
contradicts the upbeat impression that the reader
gets all throughout it. Jackson creates this irony
very well in her writing. She keeps it going
throughout the whole story. Jackson could have
easily made the setting a cloudy, rainy, winter
day. Weather would have aided the reader to
predict the tragic end. The readers might feel
that this would be a...
