Blues is one of the most captivating genres of music. The genre was originated in the late 1800’s as a method used by African American slaves to express the circumstances as well as to put emphasis on their feelings and emotions.

An analysis of Pablo Neruda’s “Sonnet XVII,” from the book 100 Love Sonnets: Cien sonetos de amor, reveals the emotions of the experience of eternal, unconditional love. Neruda portrays this in his words by using imagery and metaphors to describe love in relation to beauty and darkness. The poem also depicts the intimacy between two people. I believe the intent of the poem is to show that true love for another abolishes all logic, leaving one completely exposed, captivated, and ultimately isolated.

This shows he is neither able to stand up to the other boys or do the necessary dare. Showing his childishness he relies on his imagination to see him through.

Commerce is frequently thought of as the activity of buying or selling on a large scale, whether it be goods or not, but commerce can be thought of in a different manner, simply defining it as social dealings between people. If commerce is looked at as simply the social interactions between groups of people, it exists practically everywhere on nearly a daily basis. Whether it be the exchange of some sort of “good” on a mass scale from one group to another satirically seen in Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal”, arranging marriages as seen in Moliere’s Tartuffe, or 3RD TEXT, it can all be considered some kind of commerce.

Everyone is affected differently by memories. Some choose to dwell on the past and often struggle in their present lives, while other let memories inspire them to make improvements in their current lives.

The connection created between Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, and The Last Man by Mary Shelley permits the readers to increase their thoughts about the nature of the society, especially its importance in the lives of women and how social class works in society during the romanticism era. Moreover, these novels increase our imagination about how different people at different times have particular clarifications of what it means to be human. It is essential to understand how different social and historical backgrounds interpret the world in certain ways. This is specifically significant if someone’s wants to know how and why a particular novelist held the ideas and

Fate can be very complicated in life. Fate is determined by not only God, but the decisions people make. Fate can be either good or bad, as it is the end result of prior events. Often in literature we see fate as being grouped with death. Sophocles once said that “the greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves”. When people guide themselves or others to their downfall it is one of the most powerful control of fates. This can be proven in the literature works of Antigone by Sophocles and A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams. Where the characters are tragic heroes and what makes them tragic heroes is that they accept defeat for their beliefs.
