...In Theodore Roethke’s “My Papa’s Waltz”, many readers will have many different interpretations of the poem. The most stereotypical are between child abuse on the author from the father and recalling a memory with his father dancing. The context of word choice Theodore Roethke used for this poem are simple but complex enough to cause different views towards the poem while also creating imagery of what can, again be, many radically different views. In a literally analysis form, Roethke uses even the smallest amount of detail such as the title and even the number of stressed words per line to emphasize the memory with his father. In “My Papa’s Waltz”, Theodore Roethke uses word choice, imagery, and certain literary forms through his work of literature to show that every good or bad memory with the family will always stay and never fade away in any way, shape, or form. One of the main things that Roethke uses in his poem “My Papa’s Waltz” is word choice. His diction throughout the poem is simple but still strong enough to cause arguments of today’s mindset in readers because the words used in the poem can cause mainly two dramatically different viewpoints of the story. The whiskey on your breath Could make a small boy dizzy; But I hung on like death: (1-3) Lines such as these could give images of child abuse from the father to the son. The whiskey can be easily presumed that he is a raging alcoholic and the mother with “countenance” showing that the mother was mad at the drunken...

CONCLUSION………………………………………………………………………… 21 LIQUOR INDUSTRY IN INDIA INTRODUCTION The Indian alcoholic beverages market is gradually opening up as quantitative restrictions are being lifted, import duties are being lowered and domestic regulations are being simplified. These developments are attracting the attention of foreign players, who are faced with a slowdown in developed markets. According to some recent reports, by 2005, the total supply of liquor in the world will be close to 282 hl but consumption will be only about 198 hl. In such a scenario, India would be an attractive market for international players. An estimated 10 million people consume alcohol in India, out of a population of about 1.2 billion. The liquor industry in India is highly government regulated in terms of constraints on manufacturing, storage as well as distribution. The industry faces threat of prohibition in several states, high taxes, restrictions on advertising, restrictions on inter-state movement, etc. However, the deep-rooted social conditioning against alcohol consumption is gradually starting to...

...Whisky. Bourbon. Scotch. Irish. Japanese. American. All whiskeys and all good according to RW Norton Art Gallery as they prepare to host their latest installment of Norton After Dark, "Water of Life: The Art of Whiskey". The event was created with male Bourbon drinkers in mind, but that idea quickly grew according to Emily Feazel, Creative and Visual Arts Director at Norton. "We did the Art of Beer and Art of Love last year so we really wanted to do something different. This one started out being more geared towards the men with whiskeys and what we learned is it's so big with women right now. Women are loving whiskeys now which is really exciting time for us. Our director wanted to do something really American which obviously brought up...

...fall of Somerset was principally due to the 1549 rebellions.” Assess the validity of this view. During the final years of Henry VIII life he claimed that effective government should be carried out by council of 16 members. However, the last period of Henry VIII reign the reform faction were dominating and Edward Seymour managed to overthrow the regency council to become the ‘Protector’. Initially the rise of Somerset was a planned coup. But Somerset was arrogant and haughty which resulted in his fall from power in October 1549 after the rebellion against him throughout England. In this essay I am going to explore reasons behind Somerset’s fall, was it the rebellion or was there other factor that contributed to the fall. It can be said that the rebellion played a considerable part in Somerset’s downfall because the two main rebellions were due to his social and religious policies. The Western Rebellion ‘the prayer book rebellion’ was sparked by the reformation of religion. This was because the reformations of religions were radical and completely changed people’s experience of religion. Especially, as the prayer book was translated from Latin to English and the western rebellions often referred to the new prayer book as a ‘Christmas game’. The most radical change in religion came when the Elevation of host got abolished and the attack of images of saints sparked off the acts of iconoclasm. Not only were the Western rebellions angry about the religious reformations but there...

...The Underlying Truth of the Sons of Liberty In Todd Alan Kreamer’s article Sons of Liberty: Patriots or Terrorists, Kreamer delivers the reader with a simple yet complex question that leaves an individual questioning themselves. Were the Sons of Liberty, a group which we grew up being taught were passionate patriots rebelling against the oppressive British, terrorists instead? Perplexed with this question and delivered with facts from all different angles, I believe this group was an organization with deep patriotic roots that revolted and implored terrorism on both the British military and innocent individuals. Thusly I feel that the Sons of Liberty were indeed terrorists but also insurgents for they attacked military personnel as well as the innocent civilians. The author offers examples of attacks on the British and loyalists by the Sons of Liberty. Such as, their revolt against the established government through tarring the loyalists, breaking into and wrecking Fort George’s commander’s house, burning the governor’s coach, and burning down the lieutenant governor’s house. These acts were attacks and revolts upon the innocent people as well as the government and militants of Britain. Through these acts which frightened and scared the British and their supporters, this group of men expressed their form of “patriotism” in a very terrorizing manner. A terrorist is defined to be someone who uses violent acts to frighten innocent civilians as a way of trying to achieve a political...

...“English rebellions were far more successful than those in Ireland” - How far do you agree with this view of the period from 1485-1603? English rebellions were more successful than those in Ireland as, whilst being large in terms of scale and duration, Irish rebellions failed to garner national support due to strict English control. The stabilising effect of the Earl of Kildare’s role as the crown’s deputy lieutenants meant that there were no Irish rebellions during the first fifty years of this period. However, political issues became far more prominent from 1534 to 1603, as it was the main cause for five major rebellions during this period. Religious issues were also a factor as, following the break with Rome, the Irish resisted becoming a protestant country. English rebellions were more successful than those in Ireland as Irish rebellions never presented a serious challenge to English rule and did not result in any substantial change. By contrast, whilst not overwhelmingly successful, some English rebellions did bring about government policy changes. For example, as a result of the Yorkshire rebellion Henry VII agreed not to impose a fine on the rebels and decided not to collect the tax. Further success was achieved by the Amicable Grant rebellion, as no tax was enforced and benevolence (an occasional gift which helped the government deal with financial crisis) was not received. This resulted in permanent change as when Henry VII collected benevolences in the 1540s, he...

...The Westeam dukes ruled with a union held together by alchemists and the power they harnessed from the mysterious Aerogel. It was with this power that they built the first airships and rained death upon the bewildered Arya and the fierce Broncs. Armed with simple weapons and riding only horses, they were no match for Jraxido, the first Skyduke of the Empire. For five hundred years, the land learned to fear shadows in the sky. But just as it gave them control of the skies, Aerogel too brought the Empire into a dark age. With great pains they tried to hide it, but the Skydukes could not delay the inevitable any longer. After five hundred years, the secrets of the Aerogel were known to all. After half a millennium of oppression, the Rebellion was more than an irritating insect to be squashed at leisure. Harvesters were built, blueprints stolen, and the Aerogel War ravaged the land. The alchemists of the Iron Institute were given new liberties. In their dark laboratories, unspeakable experiments were performed without a care for consequences. Terrible weapons were developed with devastating...

...Towards the end of Elizabeth’s reign she dealt less with problems of marriage and succession but more to do with rebellions that challenged her and her privy council’s rule, and financial and social issues. However her relationship with parliament was an issue throughout her entire reign. Elizabeth was somewhat effective when dealing with the social problems that occurred at the end of her reign. Elizabeth tried to prevent poor harvests which would gravely damage the economy and her popularity in the public with the ‘Book of Orders’ which attempted to prevent any poor harvests. This was ineffective in preventing the awful harvests in 1586-87 and in 1594-96. This led to riots in 1595. However, Elizabeth was then very effective in dealing with the riots as a consequence. In 1598 she passed a Poor Law act, which required all parishes to appoint overseers of the poor and provide relief, this also increased employment rates. This therefore increased her popularity and her relationship with parliament. Whilst Elizabeth was effective in dealing with the negative consequences involving the daily lives of her people, she as less effective at managing the financial problems, such as balancing her relationship with parliament to grant her subsidies and money spent during warfare. Elizabeth was less effective in dealing with finance. Due to the squashing of the rebellion in Ireland that cost £320,000 in 1600, Elizabeth had to resort to forms of increasing crown income that displeased...

...A rebel can be defined as an individual reluctant to listen or follow authority as well as, someone who supersedes normal morals of behaviour in society. They tend to make bold decisions without contemplating the future. There are three characters that established themselves as rebels, from the short story unit. Nick from ‘Let It Ride” by James K Hickel, the group of children from “Green Gulch” by Loren Eiseley, and Captain Torres from “Just Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernando Tellez. These characters refused to follow vital human morals, ethics and contradict political powers. Gambling carries a massive amount of thrill to humans that, it often results in rebellious behaviour in major areas of their lives. Many of these individuals, including the character of Nick in “Let it Ride”, dealt with disruptions in their psychological and social lives. Nick displayed rebellious behaviour as a result of being a thief. The author stated that: “A huge sum of money was missing from Nicks account at work. This bet was the last desperate chance to make up the funds, avoid being caught” (Hickel 1) To enumerate, he had been stealing money from work regularly for personal expenses and gambling. Nick stole one million seven hundred and fifty dollars, took the money to a casino and expected to win all the money back. So that he can avoid the consequences that would emerge in the future. This is extremely daring of him to engage in since theft can lead him in jail for more than 20 years. Furthermore...

...Fighting for Control: We Want to Choose our Destiny Rebellion comes in many forms. According to American historian, Howard Zinn, “Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience.” Too often the status quo overwhelms our daily lives, and suffocates our natural gravitation towards adventure and desire. In Ken Kesey’s, Cuckoo’s Nest, McMurphy is in a constant rebellion. He rebels against Nurse Ratched’s strict rules; regardless of the influence she has on his life in the ward. He undermines Dr. Spivey by convincing him he is mentally ill, even though he is a functional adult. He believes that he can save Cheswick, after undergoing electroshock therapy for him; as a self-proclaimed Christ figure. McMurphy’s character traits represent rebellion, deception, and arrogance; common traits of a teenager. There is a strong parallel between McMurphy’s character traits, being: rebellious, deceptive, and arrogant, and those which I exhibit throughout my life. Teenagers are naturally rebellious. Often, this is a...

...many stories and struggles are presented, such as the Islamic revolution, issues with school, the war between Iran and Iraq, and Satrapi’s struggle with growing up. The strongest theme from all of these situations in the novel is rebellion. Rebellion is constantly seen, in many different shapes and forms, all throughout this book. In the beginning of the book (page 3) it became obligatory to wear the veil at school. The panel at the bottom of the page shows the children rebelling against the veil by using not wearing the veil properly. They make a mockery of the situation because they didn’t understand why they had to wear the veil. This rebellion against the rules and the veil repeats several times throughout the novel when it mentions and illustrates the women wearing veils with some of their hair showing, which is not how it is supposed to be worn. Marjane’s mother later gets insulted by fundamentalists because she wasn’t wearing the veil. However Marjane’s mother would continue wearing the veil in public like all the other woman but wouldn’t wear at home. The people in Iran obey and don’t rebel for example (on page 75) Marjane’s neighbors change by wearing a chador and mouth washing every time they utter the word “alcohol.” Another example of rebellion comes later in the novel (page 128) when Satrapi’s parents are trying to bring her something special back into Iran from their trip to Turkey. Before their trip, Satrapi asked for some posters and her parents made sure that they...

...Nonviolent resistance essay Allover the world people try to prove their point; some of the ways that they do that is by getting noticed. There are lots of ways that people try to be noticed some are violent ways and some are non-violent. Personally I think that non-violent resistance is the best method because nobody gets hurt and the resistors gain respect. One example of a successful non-violent resistance movement was the bus boycott. Rosa Parks was sitting in the front of the bus, while she was sitting there a white man told her to go to the back of the bus. Rosa Parks refused and she was arrested for not listening to the man. In return all of the African Americans quit riding the buses and walked to school and work. The bus companies struggled financially because a large number of their customers were black. Eventually the bus companies gained respect for the African Americans. Another good example of a successful non-violent resistance movement was the EPHS teacher strike. The teacher strike was successful because it gave the community awareness on what was happening in the school system. The teachers simply didn’t go to work and they stood on the streets and protested. The school board realized that what the teachers wanted would benefit our education so the teachers and the school board compromised. Another good example of a good non-violent resistance movement was John Lennon’s, “in bed for peace”. John and his newly wed wife were against the Vietnam War so...

...Running Header: PRODUCTIVE AND COUNTERPRODUCTIVE BEHAVIOR Productive and Counterproductive Behavior University of Phoenix Julie McLeod Jenkins July 26, 2010 Dr. Marie Tiemann What is Productive and Counterproductive Behavior Productive behavior can be defined as when a person/employee acts in a specific way that produces an effectual behavior that in turn has a positive outcome. Counterproductive behavior is when a person/employee acts in a way that goes against the ideas and goals of a group or organization. Both types of behavior can have an enormous impact on any organization, both negative and positive. Whether the effect is positive or negative depends completely upon the person or persons and the specific organization. The outcomes of both productive and counterproductive behavior can, however, are manipulated into all around positive effects with certain strategies. Productive and Counterproductive Behaviors In an organization or group there will always be people who will have either one of two behaviors. They can either be a productive or a counterproductive behavior type. Those who obtain a productive behavior are likely to have a positive effect on an organization. For example, there are two employees in a clothing store with similarities in their sale figures and they sell the same amount of a certain piece of clothing each month. The only difference in these two employees is that employee A works ten hours each day and employee...

...wrecked others’ properties, watched people make out by the lake, and “didn’t give a shit about anything” as they drove recklessly. The author portrays Greasy Lake as “fetid and murky” with its banks “glittering with broken glass and strewn with beer cans and the charred remains of bonfires” . This image of destruction parallels with and supports the main characters’ violent behaviour, thus explaining why they to Greasy Lake. As the teenagers rebel, they allow their primal instincts to govern themselves. Dictions including “snuff”, “howl”, and “primeval susurrus” imitate their animalistic behaviour as they inch towards what they perceived as “nature” then, which is to rebel. The main characters’ wish to seek adventure also determines their rebellion. They are shown to have “cruised the strip sixty-seven times” to search thrill within a small, isolated area around Greasy Lake. The repetition of their activities reflects their dissatisfaction of the lack of excitement within the region. The personification “winked” further demonstrates how something with only a tinge of...
