Evocation

Teague Sydney Teague Hensley English 11/ Second Period 27 February 2018 Part 12: Rough Draft #1 “This was what made the gentle Desiree so happy, for she loved him desperately. When he frowned she trembled, but she loved him. When he smiled, she asked no greater blessing of God.” Desiree is the adopted daughter of Monsieur and Madame Valmonde. She was found by Monsieur Valmonde lying in the shadow of a stone pillar near the Valmonde gateway. She is eventually courted by Armand and they get…

visceral relation which the Kabyles maintain with their village is being neglected, as it is shown by a progressive abandonment of practices of certain rituals such as the repatriation of the funeral remains to the village. The fact remains that the evocation of this territorial identity finds a truly renewed interest on the internet network. The online exchanges intensely accelerated the contact between these scattered villagers to the point where expatriates discuss online their ancestry or…

Robert E. Mercer's account of the hostile takeover of Good Year Tire and Rubber Company focuses mainly on a struggle between the powerful and the powerless. According to the Interviewee, The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is portrayed as an underdog in several incidents against certain established practices; stock manipulation and unfounded legal claims by law firms who accused Goodyear for, depriving their “shareholder of the highest price he can get,” along with abuse by well by share…

Finally, a tragic hero must produce ‘catharsis ' in the audience. According to Collins English Dictionary, catharsis—in the context of Aristotelian literary criticism— is characterized as “the purging or purification of the emotions through the evocation of pity and fear, as in tragedy.” It is worth noting that another characteristic of a tragic hero is a punishment or fate that exceeds that which he or she deserves, essentially, the audience should feel a degree of pity or sympathy as the…

World War II was occurring in Europe in the early 1940’s, and many European nations were either at war or under occupation. American film companies were taking notice of the conflict prior to U.S. involvement, and a number of companies decided to use their films as an implicit way to urge their fellow Americans to enter into the war; Michael Curtiz’s film Casablanca (1942) was no exception. In this film, Rick Blaine, an American expatriate, is a heartbroken casino owner in Morocco who fled…

Travelling is inevitably a change from routine, a break or perhaps even freeing for some. With the right amount of romantic evocation, attractions and plenty of nature’s sceneries, anything beautiful can undermine the reality when it is written on paper. “A Small Place” by Kincaid seeks to challenge this very notion by revealing a darker side of tourism, a dimension that looks beyond Antigua as a tourist locale. Behind a romanticized narrative of Antigua reveals the challenges of…

Chapter2 Perspectives: New York as a Character, New York as a Backdrop “I can't with any conscience argue for New York with anyone. It's like Calcutta. But I love the city in an emotional, irrational way, like loving your mother or your father even though they're a drunk or a thief. I've loved the city my whole life - to me, it's like a great woman.” From one of his earliest films, Bananas (1971) all the way to his latest work, Café Society (2016), Woody Allen has always treated New York as a…

Abstract Anton Chekhov, the Russian Dramatist delineated the texture of everyday life in his plays. He articulates for people the still small voice of the heart rather than the fanfare of great historical events. His preoccupation with individual joys and sorrows is not divorced from his intense awareness of the social realities that birthed them. Chekhov's basic theme in his plays is the twilight of a social order in decay, the malaise that precedes great social changes, the disintegration…

In the film, Ponthan Mada, TV Chandran used metonymy to visualize the shared experience of alienation between characters along with the associated class differences existing among them. The scene, where Mada is stuck in front of car, and the follow up shot from the inside of a fast moving car metonymically signifies as someone anachronous to the present century and of a lower status. The repeated scene, where Mada communicates with Sheema Thampuran by climbing on the palm tree metonymically…

The dispute between Poussinists and Rubenistes, was ultimately not only about the form and style of painting, but also about the philosophical or political connotations that had risen in light of the discourse regarding neoclassicism and romanticism, which is, if simply defined, the distinction between the prevalence of reason and that of emotion. Throughout this paper, I plan to inspect the idea of artistic competition in art history, using the example of one of the largest artistic…
