For this, I owe a great thanks to all my English teachers; especially Mrs Hinds, who is here with us today and Mrs Lyndon, who helped prepare us for our final stretch of school. While preparing for this speech, when I read the assessments from the past two years, it surprised me to realise how much I had missed the point

When most people think of an archetype, they apply it to literature and literature only. This belief was true for me as well until I discovered that an archetype can be applied to the human experience and can be a basis for our lives.

English Literature Poems Compare the methods that ‘Presents from my Aunts in Pakistan’ employs to highlight the importance of cultural identity with another poem? I have chosen to compare ‘Presents’ and ‘Hurricane’ as both poems highlight the importance of cultural identity in society. Both poets ‘Alvi’ and ‘Nicholas’ employ many different and similar methods to illustrate the importance of cultural identity. The poem ‘Presents’ is about the writer herself at a younger

For instance, in the above examples we see: There are mean people All mean people are creatures All mean people are creatures who are not pleasant Therefore, all mean people are unpleasant Creatures may be pleasant or unpleasant Creatures may be liked or disliked

English Voice Diversity There was no single “American experience” and therefore no typical American voice in the late 20th century.

Literature began to focus on personal experience when writers’ began to address the emotional effects of wars, and issues of social, political, and cultural relevance.

The Romantic Period in English literature began in the late 1700s. Romanticism focuses on the emotional side of human nature, individualism, and the beauty of the natural world. Romantic literature explores the intense beauty of nature and Romantic poets invest natural events with a divine presence.
