Epigraph

T.S. Eliot first published The Waste Land in 1922 after World War I had concluded as commentary on the chaotic nature of modern Europe during the war and thereafter. The Waste Land is a complex and intricate poem that weaves between speakers and a plethora of different languages. The Waste Land also alludes to esoteric texts that Eliot seems to have an intense desire to return to. Eliot 's fragmented poem juxtaposes polyphonic voices and allusions to literature as a means to isolate the…

Into the Wild Questions In the first chapter of the book, the tone is very straightforward and unbiased. He says that he tried “to minimize his authorial presence.” As Krakauer begins the Into the Wild, he includes both positive and negative facts and comments about Chris McCandless by people who have met him during his journey. I don’t think that the author is very sympathetic towards Chris because he is so straightforward and doesn’t really show any emotion. Jon Krakauer sees some of Chris…

of mentally disturbing thoughts should not bother reading any of his novels. Almost every story involves some harmonious mixture of tragic accidents, murder, mental breakdowns, drug addiction, and profanity. When the first words of a book are an epigraph from H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Call of Cthulhu”, in Revival, or an excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death”, on the first page of The Shining, some sort of horror can almost be guaranteed. This is not necessarily a bad thing,…

Kathryn Bigelow has directed the two war films, The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty in which she has a very clear style which can be analysed to make meaning of the texts. Both texts explore the idea of voyeurism and are focussed on…

According to the above epigraph, servant leaders acting in the capacity of a salt leader will strive to promote a workplace culture that is based on Christian values (e.g. Servant leadership combined with agape love) where good is rewarded and evil is rebuked (Gomez-Mejia et al. 2012, 494-595). Dale Roach (2016, 45)—author of The Servant Leadership Style of Jesus: A Biblical Strategy for Leadership Development—argues against creating a homogenous culture saying that Jesus’ practiced diversity…
