The Kiss by Kate Chopin.
Ö.Bugra Telemez 20300347 01.38 Tugçe Arikan The Kiss People might appear different than they really are. We have to examine them in different ways. They might mislead us. In the story, "The Kiss", Kate Chopin portrays how deceitful a character could be. She reveals that a person should not be judged only by his or her appearance. In the short story, Kate Chopin tells us a self-seeking story. Nathalie is in love with Harvey and Brantain at the same time. She choose Brantain because he is very rich, and if she marry him she thinks that her live will be better After Nathalie and Brantain's wedding ceremony, Harvy comes and says that Brantain has sent him there to kiss her. She wanted that kiss so her lips looked hungry for the kiss,but suddenly Harvy tells that he've stopped kissing women, and leave the ceremony. After that, Nathalie realize that she can't have everything in this world. The character, Brantain, is a rich man but he is very unattractive. " Brantain sat in one of these shadows; it had overtaken him and he did not mind. The obscurity lent him courage to keep his eyes fastened as ardently." This is how Brantain was first introduced to the reader. Chopin, the writer, contradicted him with darkness. She revealed that Brantain belonged to darkness, she mentioned that Brantain was not as simply as he appeared. Chopin implied that Brantain was dangerous and
Local Study. I will be undertaking my local study on the provision and opportunities of football in Oxfordshire.
Local study 2.2 Introduction I will be undertaking my local study on the provision and opportunities of football in Oxfordshire. The national governing body of football is the Football Association with the local governing body being the Oxfordshire Football Association. The OFA has the ambition of providing opportunities to anyone who has the desire to take part in football. They aim to do this by putting in place the appropriate infrastructure to help manage, control and oversee the development of grass roots football in Oxfordshire. If this can be done, it is likely the participation of football in Oxfordshire will significantly increase which will therefore emphasise the need to improve the quality of coaching in Oxfordshire which is currently an issue in this county. Grass Roots and Local Football The ESFA (English Schools Football Association) is the Football Associations main partner for the provision of football opportunities. They provide sport to over 5,000 secondary schools and 20,000 primary schools in England. There are 20 competition managers which organise football competitions around the country. The ESFA aims to increase the amount of competition managers in the country in order to enhance the provision and opportunities available to children attending school. The Oxfordshire Schools Sports Association (OSSA) aims to provide additional sporting
Why had Prussia, rather than Austria, emerged as the dominant German power by 1871?
Why had Prussia, rather than Austria, emerged as the dominant German power by 1871? By Diederik ten Brink At the beginning of the 19th century, the Austrian Empire was the strongest of German speaking countries, both military and economically (Gordeeva). The Austrian Empire was seen as the most influential country in central Europe, politics in German speaking countries were dominated by the Austrian Empire (Young). 70 years later, the entire picture had changed, Prussia had become the dominant German power. So, why had Prussia rather than Austria, emerged as the dominant German power by 1871. By 1871, Prussia had become the dominant German power, due to its economic and military power. Prussia enjoyed a lot of economic development during the 18th century thanks to several factors, one of these was the Zollverein. The Zollverein was an agreement between German states (lead by Prussia) to simplify customs. It was similar to the European Union now, it made it easier to trade between countries. This made it more attractive to trade with German states, as traders now no longer had to go through 10 customs to get from Hamburg to the southern German states. Austria was not included in the Zollverein, as it had a heavily protected economy ("historyhelp"). The Zollverein made it more attractive to trade with German states, which enabled the German states to develop very fast,
Crucible Commentary - In this passage, Arthur Miller uses punctuation, diction and stage direction to show how Abigail is a selfish and greedy little girl seeking only her benefits
Crucible Commentary Essay English Abigail is a desperate woman seeking her own benefits. She says everything that is necessary to others along with mockery even though it may hurt them. But the irony is, she does not like being hurt either. She is selfish and greedy. Although some people may argue that humans are greedy animals that do anything to gain their profits, there is always a limit to how far a person can go. For example, a person may love a person for their own benefit as long as they don’t intrude the other person’s rights. But in this play, Abigail has gone over the limit. The play is based on a place called Salem where a lot of people were being accused of witchery at 1692. This particular passage is a scene where a young girl called Abigail is arguing with a farmer John Proctor over the fact if she had an affair with him or not. In this passage, Arthur Miller uses punctuation, diction and stage direction to show how Abigail is a selfish and greedy little girl seeking only her benefits. Arthur Miller used punctuation to show how Abigail selfishly says anything she must although the listener does not like hearing her talk. Abigail was talking to Proctor how she had an affair with Proctor when he was already a married man. But Proctor did not want to talk about it and tried to avoid admitting the act he committed before. Abigail kept on projecting her voice
Planting a Sequoia, Poetry Commentary
Planting a Sequoia In the poem ‘Planting a Sequoia’ Dana Gioia writes about her and her brothers planting a tree. This tree is of significance to her as it is planted in memory of her dead son, in a way, as a continuation of his short life. The author uses the weather as a metaphor for the sadness of the day, a physical manifestation of her emotional state creating contrast between the idyllic land of her fathers and the harshness of reality. In the poem she comforts herself with reflection on the fact that he is simply returning to the natural cycle which they will all one day join and that will out last the ephemeral human lives they will live. The author conveys the sadness of the day using the weather as a metaphor for her own mood. She writes how ‘The sky above us stayed the dull grey’. The word grey has connotations of blankness and of unfeeling and this impression is cemented with the description as ‘dull’ suggesting something that may have once been very sharp and poignant but has been worn away. Cold is often synonymous for unemotional with connotations of hardness. In the same way that the ‘cold winds’ are keeping back the rain that ‘blackened the horizons’ her emotional hardness is keeping back tears that threatened to overcome her. This is important for the readers understanding as everybody can sympathise with the feeling of strong emotion
Did television play a major part in the US defeat in Vietnam?
The Vietnam War Question 2 'The war on colour television screens in American living rooms has made Americans far more anti-war than anything else. The full brutality of the combat will be there in close-up and in full colour, and blood looks very red on the colour television screen.' (A statement made by a BBC commentator in 1970 to members of the British armed forces.) This statement suggests that television was an important reason why the United States lost the war in Vietnam. Is there sufficient evidence in Sources D to L to support this interpretation? Use the sources and knowledge from your own studies to explain your answer. There is much disagreement about whether television was an important reason why the United States lost the war in Vietnam. The Vietnam War has been described as 'the first war to be fought on the television screen.' Near the mid 60's the majority of American households had a television and millions watched the newsreels on the war. Source D is a North Vietnamese poster showing the problems faced by America fighting a guerrilla war. It was evident that the Vietcong had the upper hand. This source is propaganda; it is likely that American troops saw this poster and this could lead to demoralisation of the troops. Source E is one of the most striking pictures of this war. Although photos can be posed it is doubtful that this was, as it shows
Les Miserable
RESPONSE PHASE We were introduced to two different drama texts. Text one was a song called "Another Day in Paradise" by Phil Collins, a British singer, songwriter. The song was written at around 1985. Text two is an extract from the musical "Les Miserable." The extract is called "Look Down" and is set on the streets of Paris in 1832. For text one we were asked to listen to the song and discuss the storyline, themes and characters. The fact that the song is about people that are in poverty and how other people feel towards them. The lyrics from the song are about two characters, a man who is a passer-by in the street and a homeless woman in the street. She asks him for help. "Sir can you help me? But he ignores her, "He pretends he can't hear her". The man represents ignorance and the woman represents poverty. Phil Collins directs the song at us by saying "Its another day for you and me in Paradise". He means that we're in paradise compared to the lives oh homeless people. We were also asked to read the script from "Les Miserable"; the extract is called "Look Down". We each picked a character and then we read the script. Les Miserable is about the life of poor people in Paris and they want to start a revolution against the French government and the monarchy. However, they all say that they need Lamarque but he is ill. The similarities between the two texts are they both are
In critiquing the educational leaflet based on case study A 14 year old female experiencing juvenile chronic arthritis, there are a range of strengths and limitations that will be discussed.
Write an essay of 800 words (+/- 10%) in which you discuss the strengths and limitations of the educational leaflet that you developed within a small group during seminars. You should cite approximately 4-6 academic references in support of your arguments. You need to consider how well the leaflet might assist your chosen client, how well it presents evidence-based information, and how successfully it communicates information to the client. Include references to your case study client, as well as using published literature to support your arguments. Submit the leaflet or information sheet that your group developed as an Appendix. You should focus on the leaflet itself, and not group decisions or dynamics that influenced its developments. Juvenile chronic arthritis refers to any form of arthritis that develops in children or teenagers who are under 18 years old. Arthritis is inflammation of the joints; it refers to a group of diseases that cause pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of motion on the joints. Most individuals with arthritis will experience pain and difficulty moving around. They may feel a level of discomfort and fatigue which leads to them feeling frustrated that they are unable to carry out daily tasks due to loss of strength and grip (Arthritis care, 2011). In critiquing the educational leaflet based on case study A – 14 year old female experiencing
Sociology: Functionalists and Marxists on Society
James Allen Functionalists and Marxists agree that to a large extent society controls our behaviour. They disagree however as to whether or not this is a good thing. In this essay I shall be outlining what functionalists and Marxists believe whilst discussing whether or not they think society controlling our behaviour is a good thing. We will discover which theory believes this idea of society controlling us is a positive thing and which theory believes it is a negative thing. Functionalism is a structuralist theory. This means that it sees the individual as less important than the social structure. It is a ‘top-down’ theory that looks at society rather than the individual within it. Society is more important because the individual is produced by society. People are the product of all the social influences of them: their family, friends, educational and religious background and their exposure to the media. Functionalists look at social institutions as the means of bringing about the patterns of shared and stable behaviour that they refer to as social order. A major function of social institutions is to socialise every individual into a system of norms and values that will guide their future behaviour and thinking. People need to be taught the core values of their society and to internalize them, so that they become shared. The end result of this process is value
To what extent is it true to say that there was absolutely no movement or prospect of Italian Unification between 1815-1848?
Emma Lerner History 12ML 1 To what extent is it true to say that there was absolutely no movement or prospect of Italian Unification between 1815-1848? Between the years 1818 and 1848 there were many revolutions in Italy starting in the year 1821. The statement above states ‘absolutely no movement or prospect,’ therefore I strongly disagree with this due to the fact that there must have been some movement to achieve what Italy were finally able to. The following essay will give different points on the statement. In my opinion, I do not agree with the statement, one main reason being there were enough people in Italy that wanted it to be unified and that fought for what they believed in. For example the secret societies. During the times Italy was under the ruling of Metternich, many secret societies were formed, with passwords, mutual protection and sometimes even semi-religious rituals. The Carbonari, the most well known society and so consequently the most important. There were approximately 60,000 members involved, and it was particularly active in South Italy, especially in Naples. There aims were relatively mild, in Piedmont and Naples for example they hoped to establish a constitutional monarchy. It is already possible to see that there was some movement in Italy from secret societies that were hoping for Italian Unification. Another
