...John Clare’s Struggle for Identity “It could be argued that all Romanic poets were obsessed with (this) problem of identity. What is remarkable about Clare is that he confronts this problem of his proper place with such persistence and determination that it has become a central aspect of all his writing” Clare was a labourer and was also a peasant poet. These roles presented problems with finding an identity for himself. He often felt lost, stuck between the now: surrounded with mental health issues and family problems, and an intense longing for a better future for himself and the things he cared about. Problems such as these were used publicly by Clare in his poems and personally through letters to various people. It is evident in many of Clare’s letters and poems that he felt disconnected with those around him and that he developed a strong longing for the future. We see this in a poem of Clare’s as he writes ‘I long for scenes where man has never trod’ and also in a letter: ‘I wait and wait to see if I get better”. Here it is clear that Clare feels disengaged with his present self and emulates a strong longing for a better time ahead. Considering Clare’s peasant poet/labourer position, he may feel unsure of himself and his place in society and also aware of the stereotypes placed upon him and the expectations held for him. A sudden rise to fame may have left him feeling sorrowful for what he has left behind and this may have saddened him. His illnesses would have led Clare...

...THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS TRILOGY BOOK REVIEW SHADOWHUNTERS. The word that really caught my attention while walking down the hall of our local bookstore. The Mortal Instruments Trilogy is a young adult paranormal romance/urban fantasy, set in a colorful version of our reality where humans walk unaware of not just the vampires, werewolves, fey and warlocks, but also demons and their part-human enemies – the Shadowhunters. The author Judith Rumelt better known by her penname Cassandra Clare is a bestselling American author of young adult fiction. The books are inspired by the urban landscape of Manhattan, Cassandra’s favorite city. As I progress through, I found that the books are fast flowing with vivid characters, a lot of action, and interesting twists. The City of Bones, the first book of the trilogy, tells us about a seemingly ordinary teenager, Clary Fray, who live in New York City, discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a race of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons. After the disappearance of her mother, Clary must join forces with a group of Shadowhunters, who introduce her to a dangerous alternate New York called Downworld, filled with demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and other deadly creatures. As I read through the book I found each and every character such charming personalities, as if they where real. I become aware of there presence and starts to worry. The words used by Cassandra...

...Cassandra Clare’s “The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones” explores a young, teenage girl, Clary Fray. Clay is faced with new challenges and is now leading a completely different life then what she was used to. In a world full of Demons, Vampires, Warlocks and Shadow Hunters, Clary experiences events that will change her life forever, including forbidden love. The film adaptation of the novel is an excellent example of the text. The film applies almost exactly the same script that was outlined in the novel. In addition, the final event in the film was very different to the final event in the novel, when Valentine retrieves The Mortal Cup. The novel also provides a great deal of detail and description about the events and characters whereas the film was lacking important information. Despite these key differences, the film does stay true to the original text. The depiction of the characters script in the film adaptation stays faithful to Clare’s vision. The screenwriter has used almost exactly the same script that was set in the novel. “How quickly you dismiss our love” This quote was used in both the film and the novel. It represents how similar the script in both the film and novel are. Although there are modifications throughout the film, it is a true reflection of the novel. By using the same script that was present in the novel, it has fulfilled the audiences expectations as far as character appearances and character personality’s. “Do you see those two guys over there?

...Learning From Mistakes People learn from the past. Either their own or from the people that lived before them. Readers can learn from the literature they read. In “Tess of the D’Urbervilles”, by Thomas Hardy, readers can learn from the actions of the characters. Written in 1891 the roles of women and men are different from what they are now. Readers can see the difference though many of the characters such as Tess Durbeyfield, Angel Clare, Alec D’Urberville, and Joan Durbeyfield. These can be shown through the characters in their relationships, thoughts, and actions. Your relationship with someone can say something about you. Once learning about their ancestry and the tragedy of the horse, Tess’s family decides to have her go visit part of their family in Trantridge. Upon her arrival she is greeted by Alec, the son of the mansion. Alec always got what he wanted and he wanted Tess.

...is actually Dolores Haze, “Lolita”. Humbert has a goal to maintain power over Lolita and who would want the control over her mind and body more than herself; making her Humbert’s antagonist as she is getting in the way of his one focus. I think the other antagonist is actually Humbert’s mind, which leads him to having an unhealthy fascination with the twelve-year-old, “nymphet,” Lolita. “Between the age limits of nine and fourteen there occur maidens who, to certain bewitched travelers, twice or many times older than they, reveal their true nature which is not human, but nymphic (that is demoniac); and these chosen creatures I propose to designate as ‘nymphets’.” Humbert is always thinking about this obsession in his head. In the story Clare Quilty is a foil for Humbert. Humbert likes to think that above Quilty or that Quilty is a worse person than he is, but they actually have more in common than he would like them to. Quilty shares Humbert’s love of words and desire for Lolita. Quilty is a playwright and despite the deep resentment Humbert has for him, Quilty is the only one whose intelligence he even remotely respects. In addition to being a playwright Quilty is also a child pornographer, which is ultimately why he is interested in Lolita. In Lolita, Humbert is from Europe, but the events occur in North America in the time span of five years, from 1947and 1952. The Haze’s live in a town named Ramsdale in New England, which doesn’t even compare to Europe. Their home is...

...It kind of sucks that someone’s survival isn’t as “important as money”. I’ve so many times, “Money is life,” ”all I need is money, then I’ll be happy”, or “I’ll give you these chips for a dollar.” Can you believe that, the only way you can be happy is if you have money? I mean, c’mon what about the Earth itself, or you’re family, food, pets, or true friends, what are those just there for distraction of your unhappiness caused by not having money. Money can buy survival, but not happiness. “Money can’t buy happiness, but it can make you feel awfully while you’re being miserable.”- Clare Boothe Luce. Insurance. If you are ill in a hospital, for the hospital to be able to help you, you need insurance a.k.a money. That’s horrible, that’s exactly telling someone, “ I’ll keep you alive, if you give me money.” That should never even be considered, that’s so inhumane. If people were just considerate, kind, and never did anything in the intention of getting something in return, the world would have one less problem. A couple of times I’ve said that I don’t like money, and every time I’ve said that the reply was but you like things so you like money it’s something that has to make you happy. It makes me mad, because those people say that, saying money makes them happy, but I see them spending it like it meant nothing to them. If money truly makes you happy you’d keep it and not give it away like it was a piece of gum. Would you give away your family, your...

...Tyler Bhame Ms. Carter English Hon II 5/17/16 The Human Rights Dilemma of Mental Illness Ignorance During the Great Depression in the Novel Of Mice and Men The stage of Of Mice and Men was set in the age of the Great Depression, which is illustrated by author John Steinbeck; the main characters, short, and short-tempered George Milton and wrongly-named, tall Lennie Small, are dumped into the Californian south, at a lone ranch. The immigrant workers find a job there off-the-bat and begin molding in with the scenery, yet cognitively impaired Lennie instigates mischief soon after arrival. Having presumably a disorder on the Autism spectrum or Asperger’s, mentally ill Lennie was unable to comprehend how to act correctly socially, therefore his loyal best friend George was always there. His love of delicate objects, but rather rough, raw hands leads to the death of multiple animals, and ultimately manslaughter. Blaming Lennie, a mob of ranch hands take a bounty on Lennie’s head, which leaves George only a single option to protect his best friend from torture: to murder his life-long companion Lennie. This all could have been hindered if the government had intervened early in Lennie’s childhood, by counseling and therapy, for this would have helped him behave better socially, and Lennie would life a more self-reliant life. During the Great Depression, the American government was scrabbling to get the US economy up-and-running again, and amidst of this, it had no time to focus...

...John Keats John Keats (/ˈkiːts/ 31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of Romantic poets, along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, despite his work having been in publication for only four years before his death.[1] Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his lifetime, his reputation grew after his death, and by the end of the 19th century, he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He had a significant influence on a diverse range of poets and writers. Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life.[2] The poetry of Keats is characterised by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. This is typical of romantic poets, as they aimed to accentuate extreme emotion through the emphasis of natural imagery. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analysed in English literature. 1 1.1 Biography Life mask of Keats by Benjamin Haydon, 1816 Early life John Clarke’s school in Enfield, close to his grandparents’ house.

...Forthcoming: 72 Fordham L. Rev. 1857 (2004) RAWLSIAN FAIRNESS AND REGIME CHOICE IN THE LAW OF ACCIDENTS Gregory C. Keating* The political philosophy of John Rawls is pregnant with implications for the tort theory. Our law of intentional and accidental physical injury is rich with the rhetoric of reasonableness and fairness, and these ideals lie at the heart of Rawls’s political philosophy. The figure of the reasonable person is central both to the law of negligence—where it serves as the master criterion of justified risk imposition—and to the law of intentional torts—where it helps to define the contours of permissible self-defense, the sensibility by which the offensiveness of contact in battery is measured, and the content of the consent given in connection with matters as diverse as The concept of contact sports and medical operations.1 reasonableness figures prominently in strict liability as well. The intentional infliction of unreasonable harm triggers liability for damages in the law of nuisance, and strict liability in general can be fruitfully understood as a form of liability applicable when the conduct which leads to accidental injury is reasonable, but the failure to make reparation for the harm done is unreasonable.2 Principles of fairness figure more prominently in the judicial rhetoric of strict products liability than economic ideas of efficient precaution and efficient insurance do.3 * William T. Dalessi Professor of Law, USC Law School. For instruction...

...The so-called long Age of Enlightenment in Europe, stretching from the mid-17th century into the 1830s, engendered new political, economic and social ideals and generated knowledge across the arts and sciences. But part of its impetus was outside of Europe. Dorinda Outram likens the European Enlightenment to" a world drama of cross-cultural contact" that "triggered anxieties" for Europeans about the nature of being civilized (Outram, 2004). To the 17th century English philosopher John Locke, an early archetype of an enlightened thinker, the discovery of the New World of America "enlarged the sphere of contemplation" about "civilized man" and his "savage ancestors" (Locke, 1690). There was more to discover. The scientific journeys of exploration around the Pacific in the 18th century by James Cook, another archetypal figure of the Enlightenment, were significant in creating the imagination and knowledge of the age. Although the Enlightenment was a European phenomenon, its scope became global as the scholars of Europe attempted to classify and order the peoples, plants and animals of other worlds as well as map their landscapes. Maori scholar Linda Tuhiwai Smith succinctly sums up the process: "They came, they saw, they named, they claimed" (Tuhiwai Smith, 2001, p. 80). 'Discovery' was the watchword of the Enlightenment (Porter, 2000), realised only by a few Europeans but imagined by many others and evident in the fashion for paintings of drawing room explorations with globes ahd...
