The notion of identity is considered to be part and parcel of the postcolonial literary accounts, as it negotiates the status of the postcolonial individual.

Postcolonial feminist writers deal with the issue of language as a fundamental aspect of cultural identity in their literary accounts with its range of disciplines. Moreover, the…

When reading Confessions you must keep in mind that these are the words of an older man talking about his past self. If young Augustine had written Confessions it would have been a much different book. Love is an interesting topic. We all love or are loved in one capacity or another. Romantic love is a different beast altogether. Often times we are obsessed with the idea of love and we will do…

1 Nestorius placed a special emphasis on the humanity of Jesus. He began preaching against the title Theotokos or Mother of God, beginning to be used of the Virgin Mary. He distinguished between the logos (“divine nature”) and Christ (the Son, the Lord) as a union of divine nature and human nature. He refused to attribute the human acts and the sufferings of Jesus to the divine nature, arguing that God could not suffer on the cross, as God is omnipotent. Therefore the Virgin Mary, could not be…

The Girl on the Train is narrated by three woman: Racheal, Anna, and Megan.

Aeneas cares more about saving his people than he does his own life. The Aeneid also shows that neglecting duty has serious consequences. When Dido is introduced, she is depicted as a well-liked and respected queen who founds a thriving city known as Carthage (Copley 812). However, she starts spending more time with Aeneas and stops attending to her kingdom, “Her towers grew no taller; her army ceased maneuvers and worked no more” (Copley 843). Here, Virgil shows that distractions from duty…

Most of my book selections occur by seeing some riveting movie trailer, and then hearing, “based on the best-selling novel….” and Gone Girl was no exception. After seeing the movie trailer, I borrowed the book, on audio, for my daily work commute. I actually prefer audio books since the book is read with the emotions that were originally intended by the author, which allows for a much clearer picture of the book. Gone Girl is an engrossing, best-selling novel that captures a myriad of emotions,…

Northern trade routes along the coast of Asia Minor connected this area with…
