The Existence Of Inter Class Friendship

In chapter ten, multiple concepts/theories are mentioned. The two concepts/theories I will be focusing on are, The Nature of Friendship and Pressures on Friendships. The nature of friendship has to do with the fact that unlike any other relationship friendship is voluntary. Also in any friendship, there is “five basic expectations,” (Wood 283). These expectations have to do with what a friend is and what happens between friends. They are the willingness to invest, emotional closeness, acceptance, trust, and support. Another concept/theory is pressures on friendships. When it comes to pressures on friendships, there could be internal or external tensions occurring. Internal tensions include: relational dialectics, diverse communication styles, and sexual attraction. While external tensions include: competing demands, personal changes, and geographic distance.

The topic of war is hard to imagine from the perspective of one who hasn't experienced it. Literature makes it accessible for the reader to explore the themes of war. Owen and Remarque both dipcik what war was like for one who has never gone through it. Men in both All Quiet on the Western Front and “Dulce Et Decorum” experience betrayal of youth, horrors of war and feelings of camaraderie.

In any great work of literature, each action and thought should contribute to the underlying meaning of the entire work. No action should exist for its own sake; it must instead advance the plot and reinforce the symbolism of both the characters’ actions as well as the truth of what the composer or author is trying to convey. This is especially true of acts of violence; great literature must carefully articulate the violence into a logical meaning. Most importantly, violence and acts of extreme passion work best when communicating a character’s inner-struggles as they relate to the motive and effect of each scene and action.

In “Friendship in an Age of Economics” by Todd May, friendship is defined as different types of relationships. Todd May starts the article off with a story of him being in the hospital. A friend of his had come by and sat with him for some time. May then goes into the different types of relationships and friendships. He finishes off the article with this quote, “To be able to sit by the bed of another, watching him sleep, waiting for nothing else, is to understand where else we might be”. This quote is very meaningful because it reflects on one of the true meanings of friendship. You should be able to be with that person regardless of the situation, you should always be there for your friend, and supporting

Have you ever killed somebody? Have you ever had someone dear to you killed? With this paper I have the highest hopes of conceiving a pathway or a bridge if you will into the tormented minds of honorable heroes. So you can see the world through their weary eyes. Moreover, within the novel The Things They Carried and other articles on the subject of war it is clear to us that the heavy items they carried were not physical.

Throughout the centuries, there have been many wars that have affected individuals around the world in various ways. The way one is affected depends on the role of the individual in the war. In these wars, there are victims, perpetrators, and bystanders. The books “Night”, “Maus”, and “The Book Thief” have each of these individuals present. To begin with, the victim is the most affected individual in wars.

The earlier historical settings gave an opportunity to the Europeans to visit the primitive cultures of the world. As time progress the settling of the Europeans in different areas provided an accumulated firsthand knowledge which defined the means for existence for human beings. By looking around us we can observe the later stages on cultures that are as a result of the process that was initiated at the late age of colonization and exploration. The culture of the people has spontaneously been affected by this occurring changes thus causing cultural readjustment that has significantly contributed to transformation and new ways of social interaction. When cultures interact, then there has to be cultural exchanges that are experienced.

1.) How should war be shown in novels- as the horrible, death bringer that war is or as an act of heroism? (pg. 204-206)

Along with the modern view on war, both these authors provide a negative impression on the glory and nobility of war, exposing the wastefulness of it. Through the use of language and imagery, they provide a sense of pity towards these soldiers who risk their lives for their country. In this modern

In the essay I am going to compare and contrast the way in which different attitudes to war are presented in the poems ‘Dulce et Decorum est’. And ‘Vitai Lampada’. Both poem are a bout war but they are wrote in completely different ways.

From the early civilizations till today, interactions were necessary in order to govern and trade with people from different cultures. For instance, in early Mesopotamia writing was hugely important in society, since it allowed historians to figure out what kinds of cultural interactions happened at the time, as well

While most scholars have agreed that war is a real and significant part of human history, these same scholars have yet not reached a consensus on the characteristics of war. History books often lean toward glorifying war with stories of soldiers dying for their honor and homeland; novels, on the other hand, tend to point out the emptiness of war with stories of soldiers losing their youth and contact with the world. The selected passage from Gabriel Garcia Marquez' novel One Hundred Years of Solitude adds to the debate over war's characteristics. Through the literary techniques of irony, symbolism, and imagery, this text reveals the major theme

If great artists are known for individuality and uniqueness, why are there often so many striking parallels between famous works? This question is addressed in the relationship between Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey, and Slavomir Rawicz’s autobiography The Long Walk, as they touch on similar tropes, symbols, and themes. Despite the difference in historical eras, these works support similar underlying messages and often glorify conforming to the expected social code. Throughout both of these works, the authors urge offering strangers hospitality, defining it as an important part of human society. Similarly, the theme that perseverance will eventually lead to success is supported throughout these pieces, primarily because characters' survival is dependant on it. Furthermore, the theme that loyalty is rewarded appears through the decisions different characters make and is always portrayed positively. Evidently, the parallels in these works prove that the core of societal expectations has stayed remarkably similar throughout all of history.

In this essay I will discuss about how literary works with themes of authority that have inspired many authors who attempt in remaking classical literature. Also, I will make comparison and contrast between two poems Longley's "ceasefire" and Homer's lliad.

In the novel ‘A Passage to India’ by E M Forster there many different character that each reflect ideas, some of the ideas would be relevant to a Victorian audience. There are a plenty of ideas that reflects the attitudes and values common in the early 20th Century. Forster uses each of the characters to represent different ideas and values towards issues like racism, which is present throughout the novel.
