And the work is play for mortal stakes, For Robert
Frost it seemed that the deed of writing and
interpreting his poetry never ended. His technique
included simple dialect and description, his
imagery was physical yet hypothetical, and his
method showed his opposing views of the universe.
Frost said, The subject of poetry should be common
in books should happen to everyone but it should
have occurred to no one before as material
(Trachea 165). He was known to use anything he
could to help the rea...

return of Julius ...

On The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock In The Love
Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, T. S. Eliot reveals

draw conclusions from clues given in dramatic
monologue, Eliot adds meaning and rewards the
reader. His use of an epigraph heightens the
reward and demonstrates ...

contemporary authors. Cather depicts women as both
the classic mother woman and the independent

... s (Los Angeles Times) This is extremely tragic
for Black children, to constantly see the group
they identify with as lazy, poor, and criminal.
The previous quote would be an example of
intellectual oppression; Naim Akbar asserts this
involves the abusive use of ideas, labels and
concepts geared toward the mental degradation of a
people (Karenga, 1993, p. 450). These images do
nothing but damage the Black childs self-esteem
and ambition to do anything productive. The same

Much Ado About Nothing The Importance Of Noting

ter> Discuss The Importance Of Noting In Much Ado
About Nothing Noting, or observing, is
central to many of the ideas in Much Ado About
Nothing. The word nothing was pronounced as noting
in Elizabethan times, and it seems reasonable to
presume that the pun was intended by Shakespeare
to signal the importance of observation, spying
and eavesdropping in the play. As a plot device,
these occurrences propel the action and create
humour and tension. The perils of noting
incorrectly are port...

Hamlet The character of Hamlet is one of the most
compelling characters to ever rise from the pages

anything else, is the reason for Hamlet's enduring
appeal. Indeed, I believe that the dilemma faced
by Hamlet is in some ways the same dilemma faced
