...Toni Morrison’s Beloved: A Realistic Saga of Black Female Slavery by Vaseem G Qureshi Margaret Atwood in The New York Times Book Review says about The Beloved by Toni Morrison as thus: In the book, the other world exists and magic works, and the prose is up to it. If you can believe page one – and Ms Morrison’s verbal authority compels belief – you’re hooked on the rest of the book. (Atwood, 1993, 35) Toni Morrison’s fifth novel, Beloved (1987) explores the degradation imposed upon all African slaves of America. The novel is about matrilineal ancestry and the relationships among enslaved, freed, alive and dead mothers and daughters. The text is so grounded in historical reality that it could be used to teach American history classes. The protagonist of the novel, Sethe’s character is based on a factual slave woman Margaret Garner in an exaggerated way. For Random House project, The Black Book (1974), “scrap book” of three hundred years of the folk journey of Black America, Morrison had to gather details for the text. A fugitive from Kentucky, Garner attempted to kill her children rather than having them re-enslaved when they were all captured in Ohio in 1850. She succeeded in killing only one, however, whose throat she slashed. Acknowledging that she had indeed conducted research while writing Beloved, Morrison told Martha Darling: I did research about a lot of things in this book in order to narrow it, to make it narrow and deep, but I did not do much research on Margaret...

...poem is a dialogue speaking directly to a loved one. Throughout the poem she uses anaphora, such as repeating ‘remember’ at the beginning of several sentences. In the first line “Remember me when I am gone away”, she is speaking to someone in a direct form asking to be remembered when she is no longer here. Thus, the idea of separation is introduced here. At this point, we cannot tell if she is embarking on a journey, leaving a relationship behind or what calls for this separation between her and the person she is speaking to. Following, in the second line, “Gone away into the silent land”, the word ‘gone’ is used as a euphemism for death by using silent land as a metaphor for heaven. This imagery of heaven reveals the separation will be due to death, her own death, which rationalizes why she wants this person to remember her when she departs from earth to heaven. The colon at the end of the second line creates a strong pause, calling the attention of the reader to the third line, “When you can no more hold me by the hand”. She raises awareness that there will be no more physical contact when she is gone, using...

...LANUZA, Beatrice Ann M. August 18, 2015 BSP201A Ms. Mari Cris Tan Jose Rizal: Ang Bayaning Third World I’ve known the name Jose Rizal since I was a kid. He was a smart man whose curiosity took him to a lot of opportunities, a famous Filipino writer who wrote a lot of compositions that talked about patriotism and a hero who died for his beloved country. Unfortunately, my knowledge about him is not that much but luckily, the movie we watched did get me to be more familiar with the life and sufferings of our hero. It also tickled my mind to think about how the events were connected to each other. Along with my own curiosity, we were asked to also think about if Rizal deserved to be called a national hero. Rizal came from a rich and well known family that is why he had an opportunity to gain knowledge in the city of Manila as well as other countries. He have been to a lot of places and considered to be a multi lingual person and this became an issue brought to him. People would say that Bonifacio deserves more because he came from an unfortunate family. He is also a pure Filipino in mind and experienced suffering in the hands of the Spaniards. For me, the knowledge Rizal got from his so called “adventures” was not used for his own benefit. This knowledge changed his perspective in life. When you come to think about it, how did the hardships of his country hunt down his mind and heart to speak for us Filipinos considering the...

...open to changing yourself and the people around you that is the secret to getting people to like you. Criticizing, condemning, and complaining is one of the worst ways of handling people, it will just arouse hate and scar the others persons pride and feeling of importance. How did Abraham Lincoln come to be one of the most beloved people of his and our time? Why did he make millions of people fall in love with him? The secret to his success was that he was great at handling people, he never criticized or complained; instead he tried to put himself in the others persons position and try to look at things from the others persons perspective. Remember the next time you want to criticize a person that it’s futile. Think of Abraham Lincoln and his wise way of acting and try to understand the other person, because one of the keys to be able to create a strong and thriving relationship is to be able to see things from the others persons perspective as well as your own. One of the strongest desires in human nature is the feeling of importance. People enjoy being complemented and appreciated, unfortunately, this something many human beings lack. The next time you believe someone needs a boost of confidence or just to hear a few kind words, be the person to do that. The next time someone does something nice don’t forget to appreciate them with kind and true words, don’t postpone or ignore these words. These...

...These four dimensions are Epithymia, Eros, Philia, and Agape. Epithymia is the first of the four dimensions. This is the dimension of love that involves the sexual desire and fulfillment. This dimension involves all the physical aspects and expressions of love. This is a crucial element as all humans have strong desire to satisfy their bodily desires. Eros, the second dimensions of love, could be argued that it is the most natural and deep dimension of all. Eros is the yearning to be united with another. Nelson states it this way “Eros is aspiration and desire for the beloved” (Nelson, pg. 110). This is one of the most basic human instincts. I believe that Nelson would argue this point, by describing how Eve was created for Adam as he craved for the compassion of another. This predates the desire for physical fulfillment and as such can be considered more natural or innate. Philia is the third dimension of love and is a very interesting aspect of it. Philia is the type of love found in friendship. This can sometimes be described as brotherly love, which makes sense in the fact that the city of brotherly love is Philadelphia. The root words are the same. This type of love can be just as strong as or stronger than any other, because many times the people who experience this have been through a lot of emotional distress with each other to get to this point. This only strengthens the bond. Nelson’s last dimension and possibly the...

...Splendid Suns A Thousand Splendid Suns, written by Khaled Hosseini, is a story that is set place in modern-day Afghanistan. It is a story of two particular women who live under the control of a persecuting husband and the infamous rule of the Taliban. In A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini shifts the narrative perspective throughout the different sections. Overall, the story is told from an omniscient third person. The external character shows the reader world events as they happen and how it affects the main characters, Mariam and Laila, with a factual, unbiased perspective. As the story progressed, we switch to third person limited to understand Mariam and Laila’s individual struggles and experiences, yet we never know what any of the other characters are thinking unless it is said. By shifting narrative perspectives, Hosseini demonstrates how women help each other achieve a shared goal in a time of civil war and social inequality. And through these two women (Laila and Mariam), Hosseini creates a mind-blowing, adventure of regret, despair, tragedy, and more importantly, redemption. The book begins with separate perspectives of each woman, and how they consequently come together in the same household. Mariam, to start with, is actually a result of the shameful act that her father, Jalil Khan, a wealthy business man of Herat, committed when he impregnated one of his servants. As a result of this, Mariam was forced to live in the countryside with her...

...Could Not Stop for Death by Emily Dickinson and Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night by Dylan Thomas. Each poem offers a different perspective towards accepting death. In one literary work we have someone who welcomed death submissively, in contrast to another literary work where the author is willing someone dear to him to fight against death. Together the two literary works incorporated the same theme with dissimilar points of view, ranging from the way they utilize their respective literary devices such as personification, point of view, symbolism, figure of speech, tone, mood and imagery. The unconformity of the poems “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night” and “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” overshadows the parallel theme of death connecting them. The first poem I’ll discuss will be the poem “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson, which is written in the using a meter form. In agreement with Karen Silvestri, “meter in poetry is what brings the poem to life and is the internal beat or rhythm with which it is read (Silvestri, 2014)”. “Poetry is meant to be recited and the number of beats per line of spoken poetry determines the name of the rhythm, though not often seen, rhythms are named as tetrameter for four beats, (Silvestri, 2014)”. Dickinson’s poem consists of four lined stanzas. More specifically, “the initial and third line in every stanza has eight syllables, but yet, the second and fourth line of every stanza has six syllables (Clugston, 2010)”...

...that have been beyond our comprehension since the first couple fell in love a thousand years ago. Many people have been written about those topics giving us different kinds of view. Some of them through songs, others through music and many of them by poetry. Such as the case of Dorothy Parker and Edmund Waller that were two of the most recognized poets in the last 10 centuries. Both of them dedicated their life to write poems that people still analyze these days because of the brilliance of their meaningful writing. On one hand, one of the most remarkable works of Parker was the poem called “One Perfect Rose.” Such poem is an example of the situation when someone receive a give that is socially nice, yet it was actually the gift that person desire. On other hand, Waller is known by everyone for this poem called “One Perfect Rose.” Through that poem Waller described a man who is in love with a woman, but she does to even know the existence of that guy. Both poems are perfect in the way that they were wrote. It is a fact that both of them have many differences because of the topic that they talked about. However, they actually have some similarities such as the meaning of the rose that in both poem intensify the topic which is love. Men And Women are different in many forms. The way that each gender perceives the life is interesting because one perception is weight different from the other one. This characteristic is what is makes the human being unique. Nevertheless...

...Analyzing Characterization In As I Lay Dying In William Faulkner’s, As I Lay Dying, characters create themselves through their narrations of the event of their Addie’s death. The novel relies on characters for narration and own character development. In a way, the characters expose themselves in the novels and the novel becomes a form of “reflective characterization.” The narrations give insight to the characters personality by the syntax, imagery, stream of consciousness they employ. Often each narrative also offers a different perspective of another character or affirms the self-characterization of another character. Darl, who narrates most of the story, seems to be the most cerebral character. Darl’s character is particularly interesting because he is indeed mad in some ways but yet he is also the healthiest and most realistic of all Bundrens. He has a strange sense of what’s going on like that of Benjamin Compsons in The Sound and the Fury. He senses Addie’s death even though he and Jewel were getting lumber at the time of her death. He also knew that Dewey Dell was pregnant and that Jewel was an illegitimate son. Dewey Dells narration also supports Darl’s psychic abilities. Like Benjamin, he has the ability to communicate without words. After going into the secret shade with Lafe, Dell realizes that Darl knows what she has done. “I saw Darl and he knew. He said he knew without the worlds like he told me that ma was going to die without words,” (page 26). In a moving scene...

When you watch your favorite movie, you are constantly observing different communications concepts all the way through your most beloved scenes and adventures. One of my favorite television series; FOX’s Bones, has an abundance of different communication concepts. I have chosen five examples, the first is the fifth step within the process of emotional expression; “Ask for what you want”. The second and third are two examples of channels of nonverbal communication; Silence, and Eye Communication, and finally, Message Meanings Are in People and Emotional Responding. These examples are out of season twelves episode “The Grief and the Girl”....

...conception of it. That being is man or the human reality. In addition, this is what people call its “subjectivity,” using the word as a reproach against us. For we mean to say that man primarily exists – that man is, before all else, something which propels itself towards a future and is aware that it is doing so. Man is, indeed, a project which possesses a subjective life, instead of being a kind of moss, or a fungus or a cauliflower. Before that projection of the self nothing exists; not even in the heaven of intelligence: man will only attain existence when he is what he purposes to be. 3. For anguish, anguish is felt by a person who involves himself and who realizes that he is not only the person he chooses to be, but also a ruler, choosing all mankind as well as himself. For example, Abraham believing that an angel of God has ordered him to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac, this shows the anguish of trying to act rightly without ever being able to secure...

...themselves through hanging on to systems well past their competitively useful life, greatly restricting their ability to implement such revenue-enhancing measures as taking Internet reservations, performing effective rate/revenue management, collecting more detailed guest data for customer relationship management and targeted marketing, and so on. All of these factors encourage the movement towards more professional systems management; either from a corporate resource team shared among many properties or contracted out to a professional third party. STATEMENT OF THE STUDY This study aimed to determine on how a significant factor restricting wider adoption is the challenge of improving the system's ease of use as they continue to grow in functionality, in both operational and guest-facing areas. All of these support a trend to outsourcing the more complex operational functions and system security to expert, central staff, either corporate third party. The major factors involved are: * the complexity of the hotel environment, which historically has required many different systems to interact with each other, * a lack of awareness of how much efficiency could be improved through the use of modern...

...BELOVED Toni Morrison ← Analysis of Major Characters → Sethe Sethe, the protagonist of the novel, is a proud and noble woman. She insists on sewing a proper wedding dress for the first night she spends with Halle, and she finds schoolteacher’s lesson on her “animal characteristics” more debilitating than his nephews’ sexual and physical abuse. Although the community’s shunning of Sethe and Baby Suggs for thinking too highly of themselves is unfair, the fact that Sethe prefers to steal food from the restaurant where she works rather than wait on line with the rest of the black community shows that she does consider herself different from the rest of the blacks in her neighborhood. Yet, Sethe is not too proud to accept support from others in every instance. Despite her independence (and her distrust of men), she welcomes Paul D and the companionship he offers. Sethe’s most striking characteristic, however, is her devotion to her children. Unwilling to relinquish her children to the physical, emotional, and spiritual trauma she has endured as a slave, she tries to murder them in an act that is, in her mind, one of motherly love and protection. Her memories of this cruel act and of the brutality she herself suffered as a slave infuse her everyday life and lead her to contend that past trauma can never really be eradicated—it continues, somehow, to exist in the present. She thus spends her life attempting to avoid encounters with her past. Perhaps Sethe’s fear of the past is...
