Eksistentialismen er et udtryk for troen på, at mennesket skaber sin tilværelse gennem valg og handling. Individet bliver sat i centrum. Eksistentialismes filosofi går ud på at mennesket har ret til frihed, men at det også må tage ansvar for sine valg i tilværelsen. Dette kan overføres til at hver mand er sig egen lykkesmed. Novellen Tørdokken er skrevet i 1949 af den tyske forfatter Stefan Andres. Den blev oversat til dansk i 1995 af Mogens Grandenwitz. Tørdokken er skrevet i perioden, som kaldes krig og mellemkrigs tid denne periode strækker sig fra 1940 til 1960. Selvom Tørdokken er skrevet i perioden krig og mellemkrigstiden omhandler den ikke denne periode, men en helt anden nemlig slutningen af det 18. århundred. ”Den første tørdok i Toulon blev bygget i slutningen af det 18. århundrede” Novellen Tørdokken er skrevet som en beretning. I del 1 fortælles der kort om tørdokken og den skik, som gør til at den i første omgang bliver udtænkt af Grognard. I 2 del bliver historien fortalt om hvordan en udvalgt galejslave skal banke støtterne væk under skibet, hvis de klarer det uden af dø, kan de frit gå. Hvis de ikke klarer det bliver de knust af skibet. I 3 del bliver tørdokken bygget og konsekvenserne ved dens opførsel og i ibrugtagelse ses. Tørdokken er skrevet i 3. person fortæller, som er bundet på Grognard. ”Han vidste at hans latterlighed ville være beseglet hvis han røbede den egentlige drivkraft bag denne store plan” (linje 64-66) Citatet ovenfor fortæller selvfølgelig at fortælleren er personbundet på Grognard, men at der også er indre synsvinkel på ham, da man enkelte steder i novellen få indblik i Gorgnards tanker, som vi gør i det krosive citat. Grunden til at Tørdokken genremæssigt er blevet sat til at v... ... middle of paper ... ...bedre var han et menneske. Galejslaven har selv stillet sig i denne tragiske situation. Ud fra eksistentialismen så er en hver mand sin egen lykkesmed hvilket vil sige at galejslaven selv har været skyld i sin tragiske død på grund af de valg han har taget. Grognard er i novellen også sin egen lykkesmed. Ud fra det løfte han giver sig selv om at bygge tørdokken, har han her med truffet et valg som fører ham i en bestemt retning. Retningen kan ændres ved at træffe nye valg, men han står ved sin beslutning, hvilket ender med at han mister live og må gå til erkendelse at han tog fejl. Før han byggede tørdokken, havde galejslaverne en chance for at få fred eller blive fri, men han tog deres skæbnesvanger chance fra dem på live eller død. Han tog deres frihed samt chance for fred i stedet for at rådne op i et fængsel og de tog hans liv, hvor han havde sin frihed.
This translation tells a wonderful tale and it is amazing that it has been preserved for this amount of time. Byock does a fantastic job of editing and telling his story. His introduction sets the stage very well, as it gives historical and cultural insight into his work. Several important lessons can be taken from the work and applied to the study of medieval Norse peoples. One of the most important aspects is the role that fate and divine intervention have on the lives of everyday man and that nothing happens by accident. The guidance of Odin and the reliance on fate are echoed throughout the work and serve as the backdrop for each characters action. This insight allows historians to dig into the narrative and extract special significance from the text.
Many people think that Christopher Columbus was the first European to set foot in America, but this conventional belief is wrong; Leif Erikson, a Norse explorer set foot in Newfoundland almost 500 years before Columbus was even born. This paper will cover everything about Leif Erikson’s life including his grandfather’s banishment from Norway, and Leif’s father’s exile from Iceland. Leif Erikson’s early life, his family, and his visit to Norway to serve under the king. The first recorded European to see North America, Bjarni Herjólfsson, and Leif Erikson’s voyage to America. This paper is also going to talk about Leif Erikson’s brother, Thorvald Erikson’s voyage to Vinland because his tale is interesting. Near the end of this research paper, it will have a paragraph on Leif Erikson’s later life. Finally at the end of this paper it is going to talk about the unknown reason why no other Europeans sailed to Vinland, and Leif’s impact on modern day North America.
data contribute to the author's unparalleled style. Njal's Saga is undoubtedly unique, and speaks of the traditions and virtues upheld by the very first Icelanders.

Erik Erikson was a researcher of the Psychodynamic perspective who lived through the years 1902 to 1994. He developed a theory that dealt with the stages of human development and was referred to as a Neo-Freudian. A Neo-Freudian are those “who have revised Sigmund Freud’s theory” (Massey, 1986). His theory argued that “both society and culture challenge and shape us” (Feldman, 2011). Erik Erikson’s theory of psychological development does not specify specific ages, so the age categories can only be guessed upon. It is my personal thought that this was a smart move due to different age milestones for different cultures. The essay titled Erik Erikson: Ages, stages, and stories argues that the stages “are organized into a system of polarities that tempt us to think about psychological dynamics in a form that is more binary than Erikson intended.” Each stage has a ‘resolution’ or goal. Each stage presents a “crisis or conflict that the individual must resolve” (Feldman, 2011, p.16)

Theorists have expanded our knowledge of psychology, influenced one another to broaden, and built upon each other’s theories to develop their own. One theorist who has built upon previous theorists was Erik Erikson. Erikson developed an eight-stage theory of identity and psychosocial development, which has countless strengths and weaknesses.
The Trinity is made up of God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This concept is what many Catholics believe in, but other worldwide religions believe in other beliefs. Out of all the three Divine Persons, “Jesus is the most qualified to bring the renewal of creation because it was through him that creation came into being” (Pohle February 7th). We as humans will have to face the consequences for actions that we have done in the past, present and future. Jesus has come into the world as a human to show his dignity and save us from sin; he was the world and of all creation. As we come to read more about Jesus we get to know Jesus more, we learn about what he did, how he did it and why he had to do these saving actions.
Svaret på problemstillingen er gjennom hele teksten. Måten han har skrevet eventyret, og alle scenarioene den lille andungen går igjennom, kan beskrive livet til Andersen godt.
