in this Heian period narrative prose acts like a window into the depths of the hearts of the Prince and the lady, whom will be referred to as Izumi for clarity. Referring to The Izumi Shikibu Diary: A Romance of the Heian Court translated by Edwin A. Cranston, the very first poem expresses Izumi’s uncertainty in communicating with the Prince, half-brother to her deceased lover: “Sooner would I hear your voice – / Is it the same as his?” (132). The poems reveal every emotion from longing – “This evening

Amelia didn't know that 2 1/2 years later she would have a sister named Muriel with the nickname Pidge. Amelia and Pidge were born into a life of privilege through their grandparents. They both attended a private school and took pleasure in their life of leisure. There grandfather was not impressed, though, with his son in law Edwin, the girls father. He apparently failed to
Edwin Black's War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America's Campaign to Create a Master Race To the average American it seems unfathomable that US based research into the "scientific" practice of eugenics could have been the foundation and impetus for Hitler's Nazi genocide and atrocities. In addition, notions of racial superiority and the scientific quest for the development of a pure Aryan nation, both by the United States and foreign countries, particularly Germany, were funded and fueled
Edwin S. Porter was both a film pioneer and director. He was a film pioneer because he made people come back to the theaters and start watching movies. His movies also were good because they told a story by editing the move. Being a director he made some of the greatest films in 1902 and 1903. In 1902 he directed The Life of an American Fireman and in 1903 The Great Train Robbery. With these two skills he was able to direct great films and use special camera shots not know of at that present time
The Savings and Loans Crisis of the 1980’s and early 90’s created the greatest banking collapse since the Great Depression in 1929. Over half the S & L’s failed, along with the FSLIC fund that was created to insure their deposits. From 1986 to 1989, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. (FSLIC) closed 296 institutions with assets totaling $125 billion. With the creation of the Resolution Trust Corp. (RTC) in 1989 an additional 747 thrifts with assets totaling $394 billion were closed. That
I used the television show Breaking Bad for my analysis for SDVL due to being a show revolving around making crystal meth. The episode I chose to analyze is season 4 episode 1 “boxer cutter”. The rating of Breaking Bad is TV-14 which, I found surprising since this exposes the extensive use of drugs such as crystal meth with mediocre violence that occurs. The language is usually moderate, mainly used by one the main characters Jesse since he is a hotheaded young adult. Sex isn’t really shown during
Why "Better Call Saul"? I think many will accept the fact that a crime drama TV series "Breaking Bad" is one of the best TV series of our time, a series that has raised the quality bar for TV projects to sky-highs. But It's no secret that after the end of that TV show the audience wanted more, and it so happened that the ideas and potential of this series creators by that time hadn’t yet been exhausted. As a result, a new crime drama series has appeared - a spin-off prequel of the "Breaking Bad"
Breaking Bad is a very unique and breathtaking crime-drama television series. It entails the wire pulling evolution of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), and his powerful life journey, developing from a good-natured school teacher and family man, into a relentless criminal mastermind and killer. Vince Gilligan, the creator and producer of Breaking Bad, accomplishes to create these captivating, engaging characters, and intertwine them into the compelling story line that he visualizes, bringing to life
subject "actions have consequences." In giving Bryan Cranston a part as Walter White, Gilligan picked a performing artist whose livelihood bend dovetails uncannily with his character. As Walt changes from such a family man himself into a force eager executioner, Cranston's acting unobtrusively passes on how both characters proceed to advise all of Walt's activities. With strongly uncertainty articulations and non-verbal communication, Cranston declines to demonstrate to us the inward life that Gandolfini

Edwin Morgan's Opening the Cage The poem "Opening the Cage," by Edwin Morgan, is based on a quote taken from John Cage. Cage said, "I have nothing to say and I am saying it and that is poetry." Cage's quote contains fourteen words which are rearranged fourteen times by the poet to create a fourteen line sonnet. At first glance, the poem may seem to be random and senseless, and this interpretation could hold true, for Cage was known especially for his chaotic and seemingly mindless music. One
In “Richard Cory”, Edwin Arlington Robinson uses irony, simplicity, and perfect rhyme to depict the theme of the poem. The rhyme in “Richard Cory” is almost song-like, and it continues throughout the whole poem. The theme of the poem is that appearances are deceiving. The poem is about a man who everyone thinks is a “gentleman from sole to crown”, who then commits suicide. Irony is used in the poem very skillfully to show that appearances may be deceiving. When reading the poem, you get caught up
Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" “April Showers” “Douglass” by Paul Laurence Dunbar “Luke Havergal” by Edwin Arlington Robinson 1. Irony is a useful device for giving stories many unexpected twists and turns. In Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," irony is used very effectively in her story. Situational irony is used to show the reader what is assumed to happen sometimes doesn't. Dramatic irony is used to hint to the reader something is happening to the characters in the story
Edwin Arlington Robinson’s The Mill Lucius Beebe critically analyzes Edwin Arlington Robinson’s, The Mill best. Beebe’s analysis is from an objective point of view. He points out to the reader that what seems so obvious may not be. She notes “The Mill is just a sad little tale of double suicide brought on by the encroachment of the modern world and by personal loss.” Thus meaning The Mill carries a deeper underlying theme. Lucius Beebe expresses that a minor overflow of significant details has
Edwin Arlington Robinson's Poem "Richard Cory" The poem “Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson is a poem written about the town aristocrat named Richard Cory. It is written with four quatrain stanzas with a rhyme scheme of a, b, a, b, for each stanza. The poet’s use of hyperboles and regal comparisons when describing Richard Cory help to elevate him above the townspeople, and his nonchalant mentioning of Cory’s suicide leaves the reader in a state of shock. The first stanza of the poem

book about it. The area of science dealing with Big questions is called cosmology. The reason for it's study is found in the fact that: The universe was born at a specific time in the past and has expanded ever since. The Expansion of the Universe Edwin Hubble established the existence of other galaxies. He noted that the light from these galaxies was shifted toward the red. That is it's wavelength was longer than that of the light emitted from the corresponding atoms in the lab. Furthermore he found
telescope is the best invention. It is the best invention because of its S.T.E.M. background, historical background, and the summary of the engineering project. The telescope helped us fix our suspicions of space. The Hubble Telescope was named after Edwin Hubble and was launched on April 24, 1990. The Hubble Telescope has provided astronomers spectacular images of deep space. The telescope is one of the most productive scientific instruments ever built. The telescope has also let us reach out and explore
Flatland We are brought up thinking that everyone shares our views and that they are correct and the only right way of seeing things. In Flatland, a novel by Edwin A. Abbott, two men from different dimensions argue about which one of their societies is right and more superior. They accomplish nothing because each is so closed- minded to the fact that what they have known all their lives may be wrong. This is the case when it comes to homosexuality in today's world
Edwin Hubble “I knew that even if I were second or third rate, it was astronomy that mattered.” This quote is from Edwin Hubble, the man who discovered the cosmos. Hubble was a young ambitious yet presumptuous scientist who changed mankind’s perception of the universe forever. Hubble is best known for his discovery that the universe was indeed expanding and not static; as previously thought. He was born in Missouri 1889 and moved to Chicago when he was nine and then later graduated from the University
