Women In Ancient Times From Matriarchy To Patriarchy
1,224 wordsImages of women, mostly figurines of the same type as the 'Venus' of Willendorf , Lespugue and Laussel (old statuettes representing obese women, women whose wombs and hips are extremely exaggerated) all dating to the Paleolithic period, far outnumber images of men. This has lead to speculation about the place of women in Stone Age society. Some have argued that these female figures denote the existence during this period of a prominent female deity identified usually as the Earth Mother or the M...

W H Auden Fall In Love
1,186 wordsA Journal of Romance The Oxford dictionary defines romance as an atmosphere or tendency characterized by a sense of remoteness from or idealization of everyday life. The same book goes on to say that it also a prevailing sense of wonder or mystery surrounding the mutual attraction in a love affair. Every romance follows its own road. Some will end quickly, others last longer but ultimately fizzle or explode at the end, and a favoured few last a life time and beyond. So how do poets give us this ...

Racial Profiling In America
2,321 wordsRacial Profiling in America The contemporary understanding of the concept of race by scientists and other intellectuals is very vague. Nowadays it is argued that race is an artificial category, although there still exist attempts to classify people according to categories: for instance, such categories as class, race, and gender; these categories are proved to have no scientific basis. The term "race" is a modern concept that has adopted a whole new meaning, over the past few centuries, from the...

Rhetorical Devices First Line
1,046 wordsGreat poetry is great not because of what it says but because of how it is phrased. Few poems say anything that is very profound; instead, the best of them use language in novel, memorable, and effective ways. Certainly this is true of Percy Bysshe Shelleys famous sonnet England in 1819. In this poem Shelley describes the depressing, dark, and dirty state of affairs caused in Britain by political, social, and spiritual corruption. However, this poem would not be nearly as effective if it were no...

Five Or Six Good Man Is Hard
860 wordsThe story A Good Man is Hard to Find, is story that tells us how the society is worsening. After I read the story and from the lecture I heard, I kind of had a feeling that the author OConnor was trying to describe the outcome of the false christian when they encounters the bad situation. When the grandmother encounters with the Misfit, we begin to see just whether the grandmother had faithful christian or not. In the story, there are many symbols and foreshadowing used by OConnor to show the ch...

Stoned To Death Shirley Jackson
1,112 wordsThe Lottery by Shirley Jackson is a short story that without the symbolism of its characters, would amount to little more than an odd tale about a stoning. However, because of what each character represents and the way the setting helps to magnify those representations, it becomes a short story that is anything but short of meaning. The first character is probably the most obviously symbolic character of the story. Every word that leaves Old Man Warners Mouth reeks of tradition. He never stops c...
