What defines a writer and their ability to deliver a message? Is it their level of eloquence? Or is it the topic that they decided to dedicate their time to writing about? To simply answer, yes and yes. Being a writer does require all of the above, but it necessitates something more. It requires the passion and ardor that one has to bring into their writing. In a time of fear and anguish, most might lose that passion that sparked in them, leaving behind a passionless and hopeless shell. In his Nobel

The Mother Archetype in James Joyce’s Dubliners An archetype is an instantly recognizable, fundamental theme, character, or symbol. According to Carl Jung, archetypes are part of the collective unconscious, an inherent, species-wide knowledge base that is embedded in our natural and cultural identity (Boeree, Webspace). One example of a Jungian archetype is the mother. In the stories “The Boarding House” and “A Mother” from Dubliners, James Joyce explores the two aspects of the mother archetype

Introduction In the book, ‘Understanding Movies’ Louis Gianetti refers to Mise en scène as the arrangement of objects and people within a given three-dimensional space. Mise en scène involves the setting and the actors, props, and all the other natural and artificial elements that distinguish the spaces being filmed at the time. In ‘Hard Ball’ Keanu Reeves play’s the role of Conor O 'Neill. The story is about how O’Neil is a compulsive gambler whose life is turned around after coaching a baseball

We people of present society consider not where news come from, how it ended up on our door step or, more commonly today, our newsfeed. Without question we glance of the 5Ws, who, what where , when, why, and attribute a theme or overall message to the story—ex. drugs are bad. Very rarely do we consumers think of the practice of producing news for the masses. We are unaware of how interviews were conducted. Unaware of the tones, the implied and the innuendos behind questions asked. Essentially, we

Myth functions as a source of expression in our lives, whether it be value, worldview or even how our very own gender roles are impacted. Myth can allow particular behavior in response to how we perceive and deal with the myth itself. If we accept the myth, we could potentially use it to cope with life in general. Though fiction, myth gives our lives this sense of an exterior, or hidden human life that is capable of giving our lives more meaning. Often times, and in the case for this paper, a sense

Alfred Alder’s experiences as a child with feelings of inferiority and weak physique drove his theories of organ inferiority and idea that humans strive for superiority (Engler, 2014). Alder met many obstacles in his childhood because of his health including a bone disease called rickets, pneumonia at the age of four, and he was run over twice (Engler, 2014). Alder insisted that his childhood was difficult and unhappy considering that his bone disease made him clumsy and awkward (Engler, 2014). Adler’s

In Mythology, there are various standards of analyzation such as the Freudian, Jungian, and Rankian methods of analysis. In this essay, I will analyze the 1994 American film Forrest Gump by using three methods of analysis. In overview, the movie Forrest Gump tells a tale of a young Georgia country boy by the name of Forrest Gump. Forrest can be characterized as a special kid who had to wear leg braces because of his inability to walk straight. In addition, in the movie Forrest is seen having a low

A dream I had recently has stuck with me. I’m in a small room that I don’t recognize. There’s nothing of note about it other than it has no windows and only a single bright red door. The walls and floor are all sterile white. In the center of the room there is a round wooden table with a small fish tank in the center of it and it has a couple of goldfish inside. I don’t know where I am, but I do know that it’s my job to feed and take care of the fish. This seems like a simple enough task, but after

A commonly shared, almost universal moral is that one should learn to “forgive” any transgressors and “forget” the transgressions which they have committed. In this example, forgiveness can be awarded by any given “body,” whether it be an individual or an institution, to any guilty party. According to philosopher Jacques Derrida, however, this definition is much too far-reaching and allows for a misuse of the word “forgiveness” and of the concept of forgiveness itself. Derrida argues that forgiveness

The first journal depicts Moodie as she first arrives in Canada. Beatrice Mendez-Egle et al. (1987) analyzes Moodie’s journey to Canada as a form of psychologist Carl Jung’s “individuation” where the journey “is a metaphor for an immigration into the unconscious” (p. 139). England was a civilized land with society that is close together physically whereas Canada is a vast frontier where neighbors may be very far
