cartoons comment on politics while some others comment on science, and entertainment. A large chunk of cartoons are created with the sole intent to entertain the readers. In this cartoon, Marshall Ramsey hilariously draws a comparison between the rising obesity levels and gas prices using symbolism, analogy, and exaggeration.

No other occurrence throughout Irish history has had a greater impact on the lives of the citizens of the country.

The timeless essence and the ambivalence in Yeats’ poems urge the reader’s response to relevant themes in society today. This enduring power of Yeats’ poetry, influenced by the Mystic and pagan influences is embedded within the textual integrity drawn from poetic techniques and structure when discussing relevant contextual concerns. “Wild Swans at Coole”, “Easter 1916” and “The Second Coming” encapsulate the romanticism in his early poetry to civil influences and then a modernist approach in the
Irish citizens took upon themselves the responsibility of overthrowing the British Government in Ireland during the “Easter Rising of 1916”, which was the result of centuries of rights violations against the Irish by the British. Oppression of the Irish began in A.D. 1367 with the Statute of Kilkenny, which restricted the traditions of the Irish and placed them under the authority of the English in Ireland. (Hardiman) Oppression of the Irish was expanded in the late 1600s and early 1700s with a
Easter 1916, the reader is able to notice a change in the people’s views and see that they are now the ones who are fighting for Ireland’s independence in honor of their previous leaders.

The Free State resulted in dividing the country both geographically and passionately along with those who had accepted the Free State and those who
well-known and respected psychiatrist, who turned into a complete cannibalistic killer.

The second stanza is filled with three heroes from the Easter Rising, yet W.B. Yeats begins to depict them as unlikable people. He describes the heroine of the poem “in ignorant good-will”, arguing so much “her voice grew shrill”. After he highlights all the flaws of the heroine, he acquires a more respectful tone
dedication to his country and his culture as the Amish do to their religion today. Pearse’s early life and ambitions shaped him into the hard working, intelligent man he was.

and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.'; This statement, from which the title of the novel comes, as well as the content of the whole Book of Ecclesiastes, may be the reason for upholding this hope, the hope given by the rising Sun, the hope of forever abiding Earth. It is a common knowledge that war - "the calamity for civilization';, as the narrator Jake names it - disorganises or even destroys human's inner life, his priorities, his code of values; that war causes
Another contributing factor that suggests that poor leadership was the main reason for the failure of the rising was due to the fact that the rebels had no internal support- the IRB failed to gain the support from the rest of Ireland that they required for support. There were few supporters as it was, most of which were from Dublin, this meaning that there was no support from the remainder of Ireland, either due to them listening to Macneill or the fact they didn’t actually know about it. The rebels

Hannibal Lecter was born in Lithuania in 1933 to a family of artistocrats. His younger sister, Mischa, lived with Hannibal in their mother and father’s castle. The family appeared to be well adjusted, loving, nurturing. It becomes apparent very early on how dearly he cares about his sister, Mischa. When World War II broke out, Lithuania became a battle ground for warring Soviets and Germans. Hannibal’s family fled to a cottage in the woods in attempts to avoid being caught in the cross-fire
As one of the first and most influential modernists, James Joyce transformed writing of the twentieth century. His novels challenged the wider consciousness by writing of the repressed aspects of life. Profound changes in Ireland with the establishment of the Free Irish State in the beginning of the 20th century influenced James Joyce as a writer. Being a Protestant raised by a Catholic family and living in the Catholic country of Ireland, James Joyce developed a grand understanding of Christian
associated with the god Amun. The Great Sphinx is to the northeast of Chephren's Valley Temple. Where it sits was once a quarry. Chephren's workers shaped the stone into the lion and gave it their king's face over 4,500 years ago. The sphinx faces the rising sun with a temple to the front, which resembles the sun temples which were built later by the kings of the 5th Dynasty. The figure was buried for most of its life in the sand. King Thutmose IV (1425 - 1417 BC) placed a stela between the front paws

Poetry is the everlasting method of literature, and is used to portray emotions and stories in a much more in depth and descriptive style, as explained by Sir Joshua Reynolds, ‘Poetry operates by raising our curiosity, engaging the mind by degrees to take an interest in the event, keeping that event suspended, and surprising at last with an unexpected catastrophe.’ Welcome back, ladies and gentleman to Burning Poetry on Dare the Dream FM, I’m your host Gary, and today we will be discussing the
