Reformation Of Kikuji In Thousand Cranes
1,675 words"Thousand Cranes" by Yasunari Kawabata ILLUSTRATE THE ROLE WHICH MRS OTA AND HER DAUGHTER FUMIKO PLAY IN BRINGING ABOUT THE REFORMATION OF KIKUJI'S CHARACTER TO COME TO TERMS WITH HIS PAST. IN WHAT WAYS (IF ANY) DOES THIS HELP HIM BECOME A BETTER PERSON? Kawabata's "Thousand Cranes" is a novel that puts little emphasis on story lines, placing more value on emotions, reflections, symbolism and such.

Roman Fever Edith Wharton
1,242 wordsInterpreting Edith Wharton's "Roman Fever" Definitive criteria for judging the success or failure of a work of fiction are not easily agreed upon; individuals almost necessarily introduce bias into any such attempt. Only those who affect an exorbitantly refined artistic taste, however, would deny the importance of poignancy in literary pieces. To be sure, writings of dubious and fleeting merit frequently enchant the public, but there is too the occasional author who garners widespread acclaim an...

Clean Well Lighted Place Snows Of Kilimanjaro
1,312 words... voice, with its many insights and subtleties, has the wisdom of one who has experienced the loss of hope. In Our Time does offer some pieces that afford a view of the lament of failure and of the inability to fulfill potential. In the vignette that precedes Chapter XI, Hemingway describes a youth in his lament over failure as a bullfighter. The young age of the torero is implied, since bullfighters rarely fought into middle-age, and it serves as an interesting bridge to Hemingway's later sto...

Russia And France Peter The Great
557 wordsThe monarchs that ruled Europe and Asia during the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries tried desperately to move away from feudal traditions, and ideally towards achieving absolute monarchies. Absolutism, where a monarch is an unlimited power, was a popular goal in those days. The political theory that is derived from support of such a system is called divine right, where the monarchs are accountable to God and God alone. Russia and France were above all other nations in striving to achi...

The Birth Of A Nation And Greed
1,299 wordsThe progress of the film industry was remarkably fast in the first quarter of this century. I have chosen two films namely The Birth of a Nation (1915) and Greed (1924) for comparison and contrast to show how much the industry had evolved within the short span of nine years. These two films are chosen for the short time span between them. This short time span will enable us to evaluate the development of the film industry in terms of the psychological build-up of the plot and the characters, cin...

Epic Vs Modern Heroes
1,029 wordsWhile Have at thee! the Arthurian battle cry from Monty Pythons Search for the Holy Grail, is a far a-hem cry from the modern day heros, the essence remains the same. Many aspects of culture have been wholly altered, but society's quest for a hero has remained. Each people of the ancient times had a matchless idol that was unto his self the embodiment of cultural perfection. In more recent eras, where societies vary exceedingly, people have relied on scores of heroes. The United States is deemed...

Hip Hop Mechanical Reproduction

The focus of house and its follow-ons into the nineties has always been more on the dance floor it seems. The Summers of Love of ' 89 and ' 90 were much more about a subculture of hedonism and pleasure than any distinctly political culture, which sub-cultural scene seems to have continued from there. It would be difficult to see electronic music ever becoming distinctly political as it thrives on ...

Presence Of God Testament Shows Moses
616 wordsMysterium Tremendous If one thinks about what holy means, he will most likely answer in terms of exemplary ethical behavior, but that is not the true meaning of the word. In his attempt to define holy, Rudolph Otto, in his classic book The Idea of the Holy (1923), adopted the term numinous, from the Latin word numen, meaning a deity. Rarely used before, this term became immediately popular as a description of the supernatural. Otto was careful to define what he meant by the numinous. For a start...

Hip Hop Mechanical Reproduction

It is true that the hip-hop artist generally disappears into the narrative of the music to the extent that many of their lives are a direct reflection of what they sing about: gang violence, drugs...
