The Tankard

Rule the Party New Haven, Connecticut is a paradise. When describing the city, I’m conflicted as to which to praise first: the blizzards that pummel the population or the crime updates that illuminate my phone like muzzle flash. Perhaps neither can hold a torch to the daily berating I enjoy for not “Feeling the Bern.” Being a rural, conservative Floridian, I starve for a safe space from New England’s luxuries.

Neoclassicism and romanticism were both heavily influenced in the eighteenth and nineteenth century when it came to the poetry movement. The expression “Neoclassicism” came from the fact that they were interested in reviving classical forms of art, “classical” here referring to the art of the ancient Greeks and Romans.

“Don’t they deserve time with their families and a tankard or two of ale?” The crowd parted, but just enough for the knights to squeeze by and make it to the castle path on foot. Perceval dismounted, patted Aethon—knowing he was in good hands—then raced uphill with Gawain, Ulrich, and Lionel right on his

The ideas of personal identity and politics are, however, presented in very distinct manners. In Antigone, Sophocles portrays politics and personal identity in a nullifying manner as they lead to death and there is no happy ending.
