When I speak of poetry and art, I am speaking specifically about the figurative language used within them--language that disallows its readers to create internal representations. Going by representational theory, and a modernist approach, figurative language in poetry would fail to be perceived and would not present its “unique truth,” and thus be “bad art.” The representational theory states that for every unique object

translation back from the label of status is the society´s general perception of the absence of a professional image. As pointed out by Darwish (2010: 46), “professions have become a fundamental element of modern civilization and professionals possess specialist knowledge and skills that modern society has come to rely on in its daily functioning”.

Needless to say body language plays a large part in communicating. There are seven practices of nonverbal communication that are used to convey the messages to the person or persons of whom one is speaking.

Although verbal communication is understood within one’s own social group, the interpretation of body language can be a vitally imperative when

life waste away through exploration of the life of Ulysses, the mythical greek hero. Comparatively, W.H. Auden’s, “The Unknown Citizen,” emphasizes the pointlessness and monotony of day-to-day living through satirisation of the life of an archetypal, modern individual. Upon analysis it becomes evident that Tennyson and Auden have

preservation, however, salt is surprisingly present in other elements of our lives as significant as language.

In fact, the etymology of the word “argument” entirely debunks Lunford’s claim that a greeting is in one sense an argument. The modern English word ‘argument’ comes from the Latin word ‘arguere’

Alyssa Battistoni makes some very good points in her article, “The Public Overwhelming Wants It: Why Is Taxing the Rich So Hard?” regarding how the wealthy have a big part in influencing the government and taxes. Her article makes valid points on how we, as citizens, under estimate the political influence of the rich and that we have a hard time understanding the magnitude of the economic inequality and the relationship it has with political power (Battistoni, 720).
