The theme of unrequited love and the passing of time become apparent in the play. As earlier mentioned the play starts off with all the characters loving someone but the person they love have another love interest and they show no commitment, it's like a vicious circle. Masha really loves Konstantin but he does not return her love so she believes that her love for him will eventually pass with time or if she waits long enough he come to his senses and love her back. But this never happens and by…

adjacent to the chaos of Fisherman's Wharf and the constant foot traffic that San Francisco is famous for, from souvenir shops to chowder served on the street in bowls made from sourdough bread. But being on the boat, headed for the island, the sea gulls hovering off the stern, is a much more tranquil tourist experience. Long before it was an officially…

The Thin-skinned Tyrant Hits Back—Really Hard The Antichrist is obsessed with persecuting the saints. There is some disagreement over whether or not these saints include believers in Christ that enter into the tribulation period or whether these saints are “new” believers in Christ that come to faith during the tribulation. It all depends on one’s interpretation on the timing of what’s called the rapture; an event where God removes believers from the earth by a super-natural snatching away of…

Taylor S. Monson, the current President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (“General”), once said “We can’t direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails” (“Thomas”). In Romantic literature during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, authors rejected rationality, glossing over realistic facts of circumstance (“English”). The mid-nineteenth century, however, brought a new style of literature known as Naturalism into popularity (“English”). Naturalism rejects the…

It is said that love can kill a man, and it is also said that the ones who begin with nothing, will always have the palpable desire to achieve everything. These two sayings boast much truth in the novel “The Great Gatsby,” written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and perfectly capture the distinct differences between Jay Gatsby and Tom Buchanan. Although Tom and Jay are both blinded by Daisy’s love, their polar pasts have influenced their current contrasting lifestyles, personalities, and behaviour. To…

Anorexia? Anorexia is an emotional disorder characterized by an obsessive desire to lose weight by refusing to eat. It is a lack or loss of appetite for food as a medical condition. (Oxford Dictionary). “Laura,18, died after refusing treatment in anorexia battle”. (Hope 2013) “Anorexia tragedy of teenage cover girl: Parents tell of their grief over 19-year-old who ‘didn’t realize how beautiful she was’.” (Levy 2012) A couple of similar articles were published in the Daily Mail in years 2010,…

Two different locations were examined: the Winthrop Lake and the Winthrop golf course. Both areas are located at the Winthrop Recreational Complex, in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The experiment was formed to determine the amount of species richness in both general areas. The hypothesis that was formed stated: that the Winthrop Lake area would have a greater amount of species diversity than the golf course area based on effects of temperature, wind speed, and local habits. When going into these…

The primary source that I decided to read about and study was “Vasco da Gama: Round Africa to India”. In the Western Civilization course, we were taught about the different explorations that many men were apart of in order to explore and create relations with other countries in the world. Vasco da Gama was in charge of leading a Portuguese exploration to sail from Portugal to around the tip of Africa and to India. His task was to find a route that could lead to open up European enterprises for…

Hanna’s parents also came to visit at the end of her stay in America like Michel’s. Unfortunately, I met them only for a short time because I had to work. We did however have a great night out with them along with my grandparents at Ernie’s restaurant on Gull Lake. Five months definitely went by fast and soon enough, we were saying goodbye to Hanna as well. The night before she left, my mom went into her room to help her pack up her things only to see her sitting in the middle of her floor…

Through the film version of Dickens’s work, Cuarón makes an incomparable adaptation of Great Expectations, but without being able to get rid of the literary original version of Dickens and even leaning in David Lean’s former adaptation.

This approach considers the source simply as "raw materials", as a "pretext" for inspiration for a work of cinematic art in its own right. There are taken certain situations,…
