Walter De La Mare
Commentary Draft: The Keys Of Morning

“The Keys Of Morning” is a very mysterious and allegorical poem. In this poem every other line rhymes. In the first stanza there is alliteration: “Little Louisa lonely sat”. This sentence emphasises the words little and lonely so that it is obvious that Louisa is little and lonely. The first stanza is about how Louisa while doing school work looks out the window and sees death watching her in the sunshine. In this poem Walter De La Mare personifies death. We know this, because the poem says “and saw death softly watching her”. Death is not a person therefore it cannot watch people. Also in this verse there is juxtaposition “Death softly watching her in the sunshine pale and sweet”. It is strange to put death and sunshine together as death is frequently associated with darkness. Also De La Mare writes that the sunshine is pale and sweet. However the sun cannot be sweet. Therefore it is a metaphor. The second stanza is a description of death and the keys he is holding. “He sat with half-shut eyes like an old sailor in a ship”. This is a simile. In this verse De La Mare writes “These peeping small, Louisa saw quite clearly”. In this line he emphasising the fact that Louisa is small again. In the first verse he writes “Little Louisa lonely sat” and “She slanted her small bead brown eyes”. Walter De La Mare is using repetition. Also this verse says that death had two keys and one was small (just like Louisa). The first line of the last stanza the poem

To in Parkinson

...Terapia ocupaţională în boala Parkinson: intervenţia în sfera autoângrijirii Rezumat Boala Parkinson este o afecţiune lent progresivă degenerativă a sistemului nervos central. Este caracterizată prin tremor când muşchii sunt în repaus (tremor de repaus), creşterea tonusului muscular (rigiditate), lentoarea mişcărilor voluntare şi dificultate în menţinerea echilibrului (instabilitate posturală). Semnele şi simpotomele acestei boli duc la desfăşurarea cu dificultate de către pacienţi a activităţilor de auto-îngrijire (îmbrăcat, mâncat, spălat, îngrijire personală), precum şi a activităţilor din afara casei (cumpărături), a celor de la locul de muncă şi a celor de timp liber şi agrement. Terapia ocupaţională ajută pacienţii cu Parkinson să-şi îmbunătăţească capacitatea de a îndeplini sarcinile lor zilnice. Intervenţia constă în asistarea pacienţilor în dezvoltarea unei rutine în autoîngrijire, ţinând cont de limitările mobilităţii funcţionale, încurajarea pacienţilor să menţină maximul funcţional în activităţile zilnice pentru cât mai mult timp posibil, învăţarea de tehnici adaptative pentru a reduce tremorul.

...donat mai mult de jumatate din avere fundatiilor caritabile: ”ma simt grozav sa donez bani si cand mi-am facut ultimul control psihic in octombrie mi s-a spus ca nu am nimic”. INTRODUCERE A fost odata ca niciodata un baietel care s-a nascut in Omaha intr-o familie mediocra.La varsta de 11 ani a cumparat prima actiune, la 13 ani si-a dedus din impozit valoarea bicicletei lui drept cheltuieli de capital, iar la 14 ani si-a cumparat o mica ferma din banii stransi din livrarea ziarelor.A absolvit Universitatea din Nebraska, dupa care a studiat bussines-ul sub indrumarea maestrului Benjamin Graham. In 1962 a cumparat actiuni la o firma de textile, Berkshire Hathaway.Cu timpul a renuntat la producerea de textile si a transformat aceasta companie intr-un instrument de investit care detine astazi 27 de companii publice si 65 private(Coca-Cola, Gillette Razors, See’s Candy, Gulfstram Jet si Geico).Cu doar 16 angajati aceasta a devenit o afacere de 115 bilioane de dolari.Ghici ghicitoare ghici cine e?Ati ghicit e Warren Buffett(78 de ani), presedintele si directorul executiv al companiei Berkshire Hathaway care a reusit in doar 33 de zile sa-si mareasca averea neta cu 8 miliarde de dolari. Hai sa presupunem ca o persoana a investit 10000 $ in 1956 intr-un parteneriat a lui Buffet, cand acesta a inceput afacerile.

Pepsi vs Cola

...Politica de marketing – principalul avantaj competitiv al COCA COLA COMPANY COCA-COLA este o bautura racoritoare in varsta de peste 100 de ani si care a aparut ca orice altceva decat o bautura racoritoare. Inventata de un farmacist, fost combatant in armata confederatiei, JOHN STYTH PEMBERTON, COCA-COLA a fost introdusa initial ca medicament exotic – ce continea atat cocaina din frunzele de coca, cat si cafeina din fructele de cola. Frunzele de coca erau preferatele indienilor bolivieni, care le mestecau in timp ce munceau. De aici si numele unuia dintre primii concurenti ai COCA-COLA, Cola-Bola. COCA-COLA a fost la inceput un medicament. „O bautura delicioasa, invioratoare, racoritoare, fiind un medicament pentru afectiunile nervoase, dureri, nevralgii, isterii, melancolii”, spunea unul din primele anunturi publicitare. Pe la inceputul secolului, COCA-COLA a inceput sa straluceasca. Pe la 1902, cu un buget de 120.000 de dolari pentru publicitate, devenise cel mai cunoscut produs din America. In urmatorul an, compania renunta la cocaina, schimband formula datorita reclamei, dar si miscarii de temperanta. In 1907, 825 din cele 994 de tinuturi din fostele state confederate renuntasera la alcool. „Cea mai buna bautura de temperanta din tara”, clamau panourile publicitare. „Sfanta apa a Sudului”, strigau sudistii nordistilor. In 1915 un designer din Terre Haute, Indiana, a realizat o sticla noua de 6.5 uncii care a devenit semnul unicitatii...

Institutii

...organizatii opereaza la niveluri multiple de autoritate de la sistemul global la relatii locale; au o conotatie de stabilitate si se opun procesului de schimbare atat celor de crestere cat si celor discontinue. Institutiile si organizatiile impun restrictii prin definirea unor granite legale, morale si culturale ce delimiteaza activitatile legitime de cele ilegitime. Intervin in diferende economice, sociale si militare. Interventii la nivel diplomatic prin embargou sau prim conflict deschis militar. Procesul de constructie. De cele mai multe ori acestea sunt o continuare a unor institutii mai vechi (ONU- continuarea Ligii Natiunilor; NATO- apare dupa interventia americana). Mark Schuman spune ca in ceea ce priveste aparitia institutiilor si organizatiilor, ca “impulsul necesar pentru crearea unei institutii internationale consta in elaborarea, recunoasterea si numirea unei probleme de fond” (razboi, pace, criza economica), la care nici o institutie existenta pana atunci nu ofera un repertoriu satisfacator de raspunsuri.

My Work

...shy and sensitive youth. He disliked sports and was often truant from school in order to read adventure stories by authors such as Rider Haggard and R. M. Ballantyne. These novels had a deep influence on him and helped shape his writing style. The recurring themes of treachery and betrayal in Greene's writing stem from his troubled school years where he was often tormented for being the headmaster's son. After several suicide attempts, Greene left school one day and wrote to his parents that he did not wish to return. This culminated in his being sent to a therapist in London at age fifteen (Greene). His analyst, Kenneth Richmond, encouraged him to write and introduced him to his circle of literary friends which included the poet Walter de la Mare. In 1978 Greene gave Professor Norman Sherry a map that marked the spots he traveled to (Greene). Sherry spent 20 years retracing Greene's journeys, not without suffering. He contracted diseases from diabetes in Liberia, gangrene of the intestine, to temporary blindness. He won the Edgar Allan Poe award for Best Critical/Biographical Study in for Volume I of The World of Graham Greene.(Graham Greene) After graduating with a B.A. in 1925, Greene was employed as a subeditor at the Nottingham Journal after two abortive positions at other companies. His dislike of Nottingham's seediness manifested in his later novel Brighton Rock. Here he met his future wife Vivien Dayrell-Browning when she wrote to point out some errors...

...ORIGINILE REVOLUŢIEI ENGLEZE Anglia secolului XVI cunoscuse o rapidă dezvoltare industrială bazată pe meşteşuguri, comerţ, minerit şi transporturi, concomitent cu apariţia fermei de tip capitalist bazat pe fenomenul „împrejmuirilor”. In 1603, la moartea Elisabetei I, tronul englez a revenit regelu Scoţiei, Iacob I Stuart. Ocuparea tronului de către Stuarţi aducea modificări importante în Anglia, unde Tudorii guvernaseră ca monarhi absoluţi, graţie abilităţii şi personalităţii lor. Stuarţii urmăreau instaurarea unui absolutism de drept, ceea ce contravenea realităţilor politice din Anglia, unde Parlamentul - format din Camera Comunelor şi Camera Lorzilor - împărţea puterea cu monarhia. Atât Iacob I, cât şi fiul său, Carol I (1625-1649), au încercat să guverneze fără a convoca Parlamentul, cu ajutorul Consiliului Privat, pe ai cărui membri îi numeau sau revocau după bunul lor plac. Ei legiferau prin proclamaţii regale şi exercitau puterea juridică prin Camera înstelată şi Curtea înaltei Comisiuni. Stuarţii agreau catolicismul într-o ţară anglicană, unde se dezvoltase mişcarea numită puritanism, care urmărea înlăturarea oricărei rămăşiţe a catolicismului.Apar contradicţii între absolutismul monarhic al regilor din familia Stuart(Iacob I şi Carol I), susţinut de vechea aristocraţie şi regimul parlamentar susţinut de Londra, burghezie şi noua nobilime. În plan religios biserica anglicană se confruntă cu curentele radicale protestante ce solicită înlăturarea episcopatului şi a rămăşiţelor...

Chapter 6 Children's Literature Outine

...A Perspective on Traditional Literature • Traditional literature can provide a window on cultural beliefs and on the spiritual and psychological qualities that are part of our human nature. The Origin of Folk Literature • Children sometimes identify these stories as “make-believe,” as contrasted with “true” or “stories that could really happen.” • The origin of the myths has fascinated and puzzled folklorists, anthropologists, and psychologists. • Folktales are also of special interest to scholars of narrative theory because of the way the tales are honed by many generations of telling; only the most important elements of the story survive. The Value of Folk Literature for Children • When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published the first volume of their Household Stories in 1812, they did not intend it for children. • Originally folklore was the literature of the people; stories were told to young and old alike. • Traditional literature is a rightful part of a child’s literature heritage and lays the groundwork for understanding all literature. Folktales • Folktales have been defined as “all forms of narrative, written or oral, which have come to be handed down through the years.” • Questions often arise about which of the available print versions of a tale is the “correct” or authentic text. Types of Folktales • There will be features of these stories that are unique to each culture...

Thomas Hardy Research Paper

...Sadiq Azad Mrs. Brady AP Lit and Comp 29 January 2016 Examining Thomas Hardy’s poetic philosophy and style by analyzing his poems profusely is similar to finding a needle in a haystack. The reasoning behind the hardship is attributed to Hardy’s unconventional style of poetry which is influenced by events in his life. Consequently by researching into Hardy’s life, there were connections to his poetic style and its’ inspiration. By making use of eccentric syntax and melancholic tone, Thomas Hardy creates a sense of nostalgia, which is influenced by his personal life and especially the death of his wife, Emma. Thomas Hardy was born in Stinsford, United Kingdom in 1840. He was born in a country where poetry dominated literature and where arguably some of the greatest poets lived including William Shakespeare. Most of his poetry got published in the later part of his life. He also wrote many famous novels to support himself financially. Some of his poetry was inspired by his first wife Emma, to whom he paid little attention to while she was alive. His works include regretful elegies inspired by his late wife. His poems have the effect of longing and nostalgia, solidified by odd syntax and diction. His other works are mostly about uncertainty of fate, time and change, and the relationship between man and nature. Hardy was a Victorian realist and he was also inspired by William Wordsworth poetry style of Romanticism. Hardy was a hardcore idealist and realist as he represented...

What Is Literature Writing?

...The term 'literary writing' calls to mind works by writers such as Shakespeare, Milton, or Wordsworth; definitive examples of all that the term implies. We instinctively associate the term with characteristics such as artistic merit, creative genius, and the expression of mankind's noblest qualities. In this essay I will explore some of the characteristics of this kind of writing. Literary works are primarily distinguishable from other pieces of writing by their creative, or artistic intent. A piece of literature differs from a specialised treatises on astronomy, political economy, philosophy, or even history, in part because it appeals, not to a particular class of readers only, but to men and women; and in part because, while the object of the treatise is simply to impart knowledge, one ideal end of the piece of literature, whether it also imparts knowledge or not, is to yield aesthetic satisfaction by the manner of which it handles its theme. [1] The writer of this passage emphasises the distinction between writing of didactic purpose and literary writing which has that other, aesthetic, dimension. In fundamental terms literature is 'an expression of life through the medium of language' [2], but language used more profoundly than when used simply to convey information. The following two extracts, for example, both describing one partner's response to marital problems, are different in both their form and their intent: Many critics date the crumbling of their...

PRINTED IN ENGLAND AT THE OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS BY FREDERICK HALI, 76$ J 9 2/ PREFACE The writer of these pages makes no claim to be a historian, but he is concerned with the materials which go to the construction of true history. Occasionally he is led to revise the verdicts of historians on the ground of a renewed investigation of some isolated problem, or in the light of fuller information which has but lately become available. He hopes that he has done this with sufficient modesty. As a rule he has avoided direct controversy and has preferred a positive presentation of the revised position. He is well aware that when offered thus silently the corrections he desires to make are less likely to attract immediate attention than if he directly challenged fallacies which shelter under honoured names. But he writes from mere love of the subjects to which he has been drawn by the circumstances of his position and by local patriotism ; and he has experienced more than once the temporary blindness pro- duced by the dust of conflict. On the other hand he asks for criticism, ...
