...Book Report: The Glass Menagerie The Glass Menagerie is a play written in 1945 by Tennessee Williams. Tennessee Williams was a major American playwright and one of the greatest playwriters in the twentieth century. Tennessee Williams was born in Columbus, Mississippi, on March 26, 1911. The name "Tennessee" was a name given to him by college friends because of his southern accent and his father's background in Tennessee. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for A Streetcar Named Desire in 1948 and for Cat On a Hot Tin Roof in 1955. In addition to those two plays, he also won award for The Glass Menagerie in 1945.

...Canterbury Tales and the Panchatantra: Two Frame Narratives contrasted The East has a wonderful tradition in teaching morals through interesting tales; India has given the world the earliest such tales in the form of the Panchatantra, the Hitopadesa and even the Puranas. The Canterbury Tales and the Panchatantra are both frame narratives- often known as ‘story within a story.’ Yet the target audience of both these works is different. And this arises from the nature of these works. Whilst The Canterbury Tales was written by Chaucer originally for a courtly, upper class audience, the Panchatantra was written to teach the high morals and sensibilities of Vedic literature to three disinterested princes in the simplest language, using animals as symbols and characters. Indeed, the Panchatantra and its derivative work, the Hitopadesa are often dismissed as stories for children. Though these fables are indeed vastly instructive, they also teach a way of thriving in the material world and a way of life itself; the Panchatantra is referred to as a niti-shastra. This paper attempts to contrast the Canterbury Tales with the Panchatantra and illustrate the manner in which the latter is a niti-shastra without being merely populated by abstruse, pithy phrases. We know that in The Canterbury Tales, a group of about 30 pilgrims gather at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, across the Thames from London, and agree to engage in a storytelling contest as they travel on horseback to the shrine...

...The Hebrew Bible’s (Tanakh) structure and canonised form, is instrumental to the ‘big picture’ narrative in this diverse book. Dempster systematically leads the reader through the Tanakh to argue that despite its diversity it should be viewed as one text with unity and structure. He also suggests that texts will be misinterpreted if studied only in minute detail. He encourages reading the text in context to understanding how it connects with the whole book. Dempster’s over-arching point is that the Hebrew Bible is more than just literature, it is the divine word of God. Dempster begins by acknowledging the challenge today of interpreting the Old Testament as the original readers would have, rather than through New Testament eyes. He describes...

...in a Pluralistic Society One benefit to reading and listening to books is they can stretch the attention spans of children. Children’s literature has not always been so extensive and colorful as it is today. At the beginning children’s books read like instruction manuals rather than escapism or a fun educational tool. Even though Children's literature can misconstrue a Childs point of view, Children’s literature is needed to ensure a future because each milestone of children’s literature develops social functions within a pluralistic society. There are five specific key milestones/events/developments of children’s literature that includes social functions within the trends. Puritanism The books from this period were basically “Goodly Godly" books. They were focused on religion and how to obtain passage into heaven. These books did not have rhymes or pictures, but reinforced the way to the Lord and how to remain moral. Even though the books were the same type of books that are known today, they were written specifically for children and teaching. These are the some of the first type of children’s books. The books could be extreme in theme, for example James Janeway's A Token for Children: Being an Exact Account of the Conversion, Holy and Exemplary Lives and Joyful Deaths of Several Young Children (1672) The book consisted of multiple deathbed scenes of children who were weak but spiritually strong. Books did not remain overly religious and started appealing to parents who...

...the statement "It's a myth" can mean different things to different people. To me it means something that is maybe unexplainable or not real, but to other it may mean some type of historic event that were told when they were children and to this day believe it is true. If I were to describe "myths" in my own words I will say that myths is something that we grow up with. Where I am from they taught me about "El chupacabra", this in Puerto Rico means some kind of animal that lives in the woods and eats cows. In some other understanding I will say it sometimes means history of our ancestors that many times we find them hard to believe. In the world we live in today we have so many different sets of minds and different ways of thinking. Culture is one pf the main factors for this. For example, the Thai, Japanese, Koreans and the Chinese all have traditions of a rabbit in the moon. They all differ about what the rabbit is doing. The answer to the most common mythological themes would probably be ranging from apocalypse to animals, and to World Tree...

...Soeteria Winters April 18, 2014 FAS202-Introduction to Humanities II Art History Analysis Paper When we think of art, we rarely focus on its origins. Art itself dates back to the early modern humans that lived thirty-five thousand years ago. This includes carvings on Mammoth tusks, cave paintings, sewn beadwork on clothing, carved Venus statues from bone, and baked clay. The created art often depicted the animals that were hunted and the seasons. In many cases the animals could not be recognized as the depictions were distorted, thus it was concluded that said depictions were of religious significance, making this the first type of “religious” art. Two examples of such art is the cave art in Lascaux, France and Altamira, Spain. Through these ancient depictions of the past, we are able to improve in all matters of society. This is just one of many examples that prove, art reflects the human journey through the past, present and into the future. The artists surrounding my art history analysis are the works of Juan Bautista Maino and Alessandro Turchi. “The Resurrection”, painted by Juan Bautista Maino in Spain, in 1612. The Baroque style art depicts the strong Christian values of the time, as Christianity had become a major religion in Spain. Christianity was introduced to Spain in 62 AD but was later rejected by the Visigoths whom rules Spain in 711 AD. In this time, the religion of Islam began to spread due to lack of taxation of citizens and the lack of forced...

...RAY DOUGLAS BRADBURY He was an American novelist, short-story writer, essayist, playwright, screenwriter, and poet. Although the genre of many of Ray Bradbury’s stories is fiction, he rejected being categorized as a science fiction author, claiming that the only story he has ever written that is a science fiction story is Fahrenheit 451. BIOGRAPHY Ray Douglas Bradbury was born on August 22, 1920, in Waukegan, Illinois. He enjoyed a relatively idyllic childhood in Waukegan, which he later incorporated into several semi-autobiographical novels and short stories. Bradbury's life revolved around magic, magicians, circuses, and other such fantasies. He decided to become a writer at about age 12 or 13. He later said that he made this decision to "live forever" through his fiction. His first official pay as a writer came for contributing a joke to George Burns's Burns & Allen Show. In 1937, he became a member of the Los Angeles Science Fiction League, whose help enabled him to publish four issues of his own science-fiction fan magazine, or "fanzine," Futuria Fantasia. He graduated from a Los Angeles high school in 1938. His formal education ended there because they had no money to send him to college due to the Depression. However, he became a "student of life," selling newspapers on L.A. street corners from 1938 to 1942. He published his first short story in a fan magazine in 1938. Bradbury says that he learned to write by recalling his own experiences. Many...

...Applications PHOTOJOURNALISMLISM “the art or practice of communicating news by photographs” – Google Dictionary “journalism that presents a story primarily through the use of pictures” – Princeton University Dan Chung is a photojournalist who works at The Guardian where he has been for the past four years. Dan is particularly acclaimed for his work in Iraq in 2003, in Indonesia following the tsunami in 2004, and in Pakistan in aftermath of the earthquake in 2006. His photography is effective in the sense that it truly captures the reality of the disasters he encountered. I think these photographs are particularly powerful because they show both physical and emotional damage caused by the Japan earthquake and tsunami. The images open the eyes of the readers and make them emotionally attached to the story. Japan earthquake and tsunami: Dan Chung in Shintona Guardian photographer captures the devastation wrought on the town of Shintona in Miyagi prefecture, one of the worst affected areas.

...for popular authors at the time such as Jacob Bryant. William Blake was fascinated with Bryant’s ideals concerning the view of religion; he even began to adopt Jacob Bryant’s same ideals of all religions are the same under one god (Eaves). This idealism would encourage Blake’s adoption of religious beliefs in his poetry later on in life. Beginning in 1769, when Blake was twelve years of age, he started writing poetry that would later appear in the book, Poetical Sketches, published in 1783 (Eaves). Written over fourteen years, Blake comprised a collection of poems he had written from a young man’s point of view. Being the first published book of William Blake’s, he was no doubt proud of his work and inspired to write more. Blake went on to publish many more books, such as Songs of Experience, Songs of Innocence, America: A Prophecy, etc. The book Songs of Experience, differed than Blake’s preceding books, in that “it is of grander, sterner callibre, of gloomier wisdom” (Gilchrist 116). Blake clearly matured between and within the books he wrote. This can be proved within Songs of Experience, where he developed a more gloomy outlook toward the world and analyzed the problems in which he came across. This gloomy outlook can somewhat be found within one of the poems found in Songs of Experience, which is entitled “The Tyger”. While William Blake wrote a profuse amount of poetry in his lifetime, one of the most prominent poems would be “The Tyger”. Upon first glance at the title,...
