He states that there is no critical thinking involved with creating such vague and inconsistent “jargon” in texts because the over-complexity of the words involved with modernized English leaves the intention of the writing unclear. From the perspective of George Orwell, the modernized English style of writing is nothing more than a set of equivocal standards that we all adhere to. I agree with his essay regarding politics and English language. The lines between critical writing, professional, and political language have been blurred. We may attribute the deterioration of English writing with political language.
A common theme through Anil's Ghost is violence. Anil Tessera is symbolic of the Western audience, and the inability to understand the trauma due to postcolonialism. Through out the novel, Michael Ondaatjee uses different literary devices to describe trauma, and what it does to victims during civil wars. As a novel focused around historical strife, there is no mention of government and religious factions. Since there is no mention of key factors to point at Sir Lanka, readers are to take the novel as a commentary about several places that experienced post-colonial trauma.
It was dreamt up as an “anti”-movement, rather than a movement. Tristan Tzara stated “The beginnings of Dada were not the beginnings of art, but of disgust.” (Documents of Dada and Surrealism: Dada and Surrealist Journals in the Mary Reynolds Collection) They felt that, having lost all confidence in their cultures, they needed
Pugh argues that some literary allusions lose their original meaning through time, and because of this, the contemporary reader is unable to “experience” Babbitt. Pugh raises valid questions, but he makes the mistake of relying on examples from T.S. Eliot’s Wasteland and other works from the same author to prove his thesis. Pugh should have relied on the text of Babbitt more to illustrate allusions that are not common or have lost their original meaning through time. Pugh begins his essay by questioning whether or not the term “Babbittry” would stand the test of time.
These communication technologies have not broadened their appreciation and knowledge on topics such as history, civic values, and philosophical questions. In a sense these technologies have “stupefied” these individuals. Overall Bauerlein argues that these “digital natives” are not using these modern technologies to gain knowledge, but instead to interact with each other about topics such as pop culture or downloading new video games. Mark Bauerlein is a professor of English at Emory University and worked as a director of Research and Analysis at the National Endowment for the Arts, where he oversaw studies about culture and American life. “The Dumbest Generation” is Bauerlein’s most recent work, but his is the author of five other published works.
The first example of misunderstanding was the word "ghost". Since the Tiv did not have the word ghost in their dictionary, they found it difficult to understand the meaning of it because the closest meaning to it is omen. Omen and ghost are two different words. Moreover, the Tiv's elders disapproved Horatio's plan to tell Hamlet about the omen. They criticized Horatio and explained that it is disrespectful to the chief and the elders to go behind his back, and matter things should be discussed by old people and not be youngsters.
I do believe that he put thought into this but this is not music, there is no expression in this. I believe this piece contains little creativity, this however says nothing about his ability to write and compose but it is simply an opinion. Perhaps if the piece would contain a succession of tones and sounds it would fall in the category of music. If I would have experienced this for the first time in person, I might
This essay disagrees with the statement, and it strongly believes that artists through their creations of unique techniques of architecture and artworks did not influence the world, but just the environment around themselves. From movements in the early and late 20th centuries, pop art, surrealism, abstract expressionism and dadaism, these only revolutionised the art world, but it did not have an impact on politics, religion or the economy, therefore did not influence the world. Dadaism or Dada is a post-World War I cultural movement in visual art. The movement was, among other things, a protest against the barbarism of the War. In general, many believe that Dada was not art, it was anti-art.
In my opinion, this story is not satisfying. There are too much wanting things they didn’t say. This story The Tell-Tale Hearts Story is not spellbinded me because of the author. First, I can’t learn everything about the person in that story. At beginning i don’t know that it he is a gir lor boy, don’t know his name.
Violent reactions were, therefore, not effective as they received violent reaction from the government and did not bring the desired change to the colonists. Non-violent reactions, on the other hands proved very effective because it forced the British government to repeal the stamp act which as a
