Secretary Of State Fort Sumter
1,060 wordsIt would be an understatement to say that the Civil War caused unfortunate bloodshed and left a heritage of grief and bitterness in its path. This war is perhaps the most tragic of all time. Its epic feats and uncanny combats merit it as not only an unforgettable event in history, but a war that took over 600, 000 lives. It was the only war fought on American soil by Americans, and for that reason the Civil War has always of interest. Ironically, but not surprisingly, the Civil War still remains...

Beatrice And Benedick Shakespeare Creates
1,219 wordsWhen we discuss the dramatic form of a Shakespearean comedy, we are not only examining the clever or amusing text. Shakespearean comedies are not about drawing laughs from an audience.

Main Idea Bad News
683 wordsBusiness 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...

Brave New World Designer Drugs
1,785 wordsBrave New World (1932) is one of the most insidious works of literature ever written. An exaggeration? Tragically, no. Brave New World has come to serve as the false symbol for any regime of universal happiness. For sure, Huxley was writing a satirical piece of fiction, not scientific prophecy. Hence to treat his writing as ill-conceived futurology rather than a work of great literature might seem to miss the point. Yet the knee-jerk response of Its Brave New World! to any blueprint for chemical...

Choice Of Words Word Choice
658 wordsSome readers may define the tone as anger in James Stephens A Glass of Beer. Others may even say that it leaves an unpleasant tone. By studying the choice of words that Stephen uses to convey the tone of his scene, I will demonstrate that beneath the seemingly outraged situation of the poem lies something funnier. The true tone of A Glass of Beer is a sardonic one. Examining each stanza of the poem offers numerous examples where the tone of the poem is sustained by the choice of words. The first...

Edna Pontellier Edna Takes Awakening
897 wordsKate Ednas Awakening Edna's Awakening Kate Chopin's The Awakening is a work of literature like none other I have read. It is not hard to imagine why this major work of Chopin's was banished for decades not long after its initial publication in 1899. Most of society did not like the fact that The Awakenings main character, Edna Pontellier, went against the socially acceptable role of women at that time. At that time in history, women did just what they were expected to do. They were expected to b...
