Imagine a world in which satirical fiction did not exist; brilliant novels such as Animal Farm or 1984 by George Orwell, or Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Jane Austen was one of the very first satirical fiction writers in the literary world and, without her writings, satirical fiction may not have been what it is today, or it may not have even existed. Austen is a major novelist known for her famous six novels depicting common life in England at the end of the eighteenth-century. Her satires…

This past weekend I went to view Southern Miss’s Trojan Barbie. This play was an amazing display of the range of talent in Southern Miss’s theatre department. As I stepped through the doors of Tatum Theatre, I was transported back to Ancient Troy. Along with the set, the preshow soundtrack made me excited for the play that I was about to see. When the lights dimmed and the play began, soldiers walked out from the vomitoriums and surrounded audience members. When the first solider yelled his line…

In this book we find Odysseus going through many hardships before finally getting back to his hometown in Ithaca.

So how was the performance? AfterEffect, Nutcracker pas de deux, and Souvenir d'un lieu cher were rather weak appetizers. AfterEffect is Marcelo Gomes' first big choreographic effort and he made a couple rookie mistakes: 1) slapping on a theme (the three main characters are called The Man, His Loss, and His Hope) that had little to do with what was happening onstage; 2) choosing a grand, ambitious piece of music (Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence) without really knowing what to do with it and…

practice. The letters stand for the following: psychoeducation/parenting, relaxation skills, affect regulation, cognitive coping, trauma narrative, in vivo exposure, conjoint sessions, and enhancing safety. It may have been tricky at first, but once Cassandra learned them she said she simply goes through all the steps until the child is stable. This style may take a month, or even three years, but she said it almost always works in the end. This information relates to Behavior and cognitive…

In the book of Euripides, three specific characters are included in the plays. The three characters are Medea, Hecuba, and Electra. Starting with Medea, I feel that she is a person that does not care about anything and she also is not afraid to hold anything back and say what’s on her mind just like ways of a man. Medea is a cold blooded killer without showing any hesitation. I have met some people who can relate to Medea’s ways. Now talking about Hecuba, she is sort of like Medea but not as…

In the Odyssey, the gods and their will represent fate, and as such bring both joy and suffering. Fate in the Iliad -- or rather -- the Fates are more powerful, such that the gods must consider them before interfering in the lives of mortals. In tragedies, fate is presented again as an extension of the gods, but in a much more negative light. However, one thing that remains constant throughout genres is that fate is ultimately inescapable. In the Odyssey, the Fates as mythological beings are not…

The Downfall of Hector and his family described in Homer’s Iliad, Vergil’s Aeneid, and Euripides “The Trojan Women” not only describes ancient history in a great mythological rhetorical sense, but actually is used and directs the fate of future historical events. By using the following methods of interpretations and analysis; Social charter theory, Structuralism, and Feminism and Gender, this essay will expound upon the ideas that these theories in fact do explain the impact it had on historical…
