2-Tolstoy’s Character. Tolstoy was a multi-dimensional man. In his long career he had been a teacher and educational theorist, a philosopher and social critic, a successful farmer and paterfamilias, a soldier, and a prophet. Above all, however, he was a great artist, and it is on his fiction that his fame at present rests. The literary career of this "great writer of the Russian land" (as his contemporary Turgenev called him) may be divided into three parts: the early period of literary apprenticeship

shown by Alexei’s sympathetic actions after finding out about the affair publicly. Alexei’s forgiveness at Anna’s bedside, while she was dying, helped her feel fulfillment after such a destroyed relationship (Tolstoy 636-690). After Alexei forgave Anna he thought, "But I saw her and forgave her. And the happiness of forgiveness has revealed to me my duty. I forgive completely. I would offer the other cheek, I would give my cloak if my coat be taken. I pray to God only not to take from me the bliss

Zach Petersel, in his essay, “Here's Why Suspensions Won't Deter PED users Like Maria Sharapova,” claims that the risk and rewards of using performing enhancing drugs (PEDs) is unbalanced and needs to change. He adopts a slight angry tone in order to appeal that big-name athletes caught using PEDs don’t face major consequences. He uses this tone to appeal to readers who might also want change in this topic. This feature should be printed in The Shorthorn because it will prompt students to look at

ID:10075095 Baron, Marcia. "Was Effi Briest a Victory of Kantian Morality?" Marcia Philosophy and Literature (1988). March 2017. The central theme in Baron's side on the story of Effi Briest is to provide an evaluation of the extent to which the tragedies facing Effi Briest may be traced through the morality theory of Kantian (p. 1-2).

Mad Tiger (2015) by Michael Haertlein and Jonathan Yi Good band documentaries often aren’t about the music or back stage antics. They focus on the struggles of the band and their often very normal lives. “Mad Tiger” is a film about a Japanese punk band called Peelander-Z who live and play in NYC. It’s an intimate look of the relationship between two band members and if you read between the lines you can see where their troubles start. Peelander-Z reminds me a lot of the band Gwar.

“It was the old New York way…the way of people who dreaded scandal more than disease, who placed decency about courage, and who considered that nothing was more ill-bred than ‘scenes,’ except the behavior of those who gave rise to them” (Wharton, Prologue).

In the opening chapter of Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy uses the technique of in medias res, which translates from Latin to “in the middle of things”, to establish the central themes of his novel.
