No present

one foot in the past and one in the present. As Lady Juliet reads out loud from her diaries, her voice is described by one of the archivists as a “song” and how “the voice then quavers - cracks and is reduced to a helpless whisper.” The total “effect” of Lady Juliet’s voice is described as, “both magical and devastating - for you know that what you hear is the voice of someone near death - and the wisdom remains a child’s.” (143). Just as the past and the present are contradictions of one another,

concentrate the mind on the present moment,” preached Buddha. In depth, I think Buddha seemed to understand that the past is not relevant in succeeding the present. The present is meant to be lived thoroughly with a present tense mind. Unknowingly over thinking the future prevents the mind from enjoying the present. Dwelling over an event that occurred in the past interferes with the natural order of living in the present. It seems unlikely to even appreciate or enjoy the present if the past and future

In Kindred Octavia Butler highlights how Dana’s fear of the past will interfere with the present. Butler demonstrates how Dana tries to fit into the 1800s to accomplish her goals and not have consequences in the present. The patriarchy is shown in both time periods although it grows or manifests differently. In kindred Dana travels back in time to save Rufus her ancestor who always seems to get himself in trouble. Dana is trying to make a difference in the past but it is very hard when all she does

Virgil, too, disturbs the linearity of time, yet he does this only to establish a new hierarchy between the past, the present and the future. The walls of Carthage incites Aeneas in a way that he feels hope for the future for the first time and the power to encourage his men by saying “Dismiss your fears. Trust me, this fame of ours/ will offer us some haven.” The pictures which charges Aeneas with such self-confidence, assertiveness and valor had no spirit or life themselves to begin with. It is

position is past, present or future (constituting the A-series, and these positions are changeable). An A-theorist considers the A-series to be essential to the nature of time, and Cameron presents ‘a version of the moving spotlight view’ as his preferred version of the A-Theory. To clarify, the moving spotlight theory is characterised by the combination of ‘permanentism, the thesis that everything exists forever, and the A-theory, the thesis that there is an absolute, objective present time’2. In Cameron’s

calculate a mean from the ten items. Internal consistency within the present study’s past negative subscale was highly acceptable (Cronbach’s Alpha=.83). The present hedonistic subscale, where individuals have an orientation to make sacrifices in the present, to enjoy rewards tomorrow, is measured by fifteen items (‘I take risks to put excitement in my life’). It was calculated by taking the fifteen items related to present hedonistic

Subsequently, they can be clearly understood in conjunction with their present situation through the eyes of their own experiences. Considering these factors, this approach is an infusion of the concept of relational theory with the current state (Arnheim, 1945). It provides essential insight that focuses intensely on self-awareness as well as what is going on in the present moment. The root of concern, in regards to the present moment, is the events of what will happen from one juncture of time until

made between the past and present and the contrast between Homer and, Faulkner is able to pass to his readers the concept that man’s plight is tragic but that there is heroism in an attempt to rise above it. Ray B.
