Examining or recognizing authorial styles related to meaning has enabled many writers and critics to write pastiches and parodies that enriched the literary heritage.

going to be talking about the field journal entry that I’ve created for my collage. The collage I have created depicts Canadian culture based off of what I think it is. The first images I used, which are poutine, maple syrup, and Beavertails, are classic Canadian food staples. It seems basic, but I believe that they hold a deeper meaning than just being delicious food. To start off, food brings everyone closer. Food is a way people connect with each other and enjoy something together. Poutine,…

When looking at artifacts that point to early civilization, not much looks like anything we use today. With our mighty gadgets and volatile computers, it is hard to be terribly impressed by a moon shaped stone tool that is the size of a thumb nail.

Then, at my no-compromise direction, he apologized to the young sailor in front of my entire division of enlisted men. But I had his number and he had mine. He was always an asshole, and while I watched my back, I couldn’t wait to get rid of him. But at least I never saw him step across that particular line again, and I was blessed…

Turnaround strategy for Royal Enfield Divesting the non-performing businesses Siddhartha Lal was all of 26 when he took over as CEO of Royal Enfield in 2000. If you had spent Rs 55,000 to buy a Royal Enfield motorcycle in 2001, you would now have an old, rugged bike. But if you had invested the same Rs 55,000 in shares (at Rs 17.50 per share) of Eicher Motors, the company that makes Enfield bikes, your investment will be worth Rs 4.75 crore now. The twin credit for building a rugged bike as well…
Art and architecture are huge influences on culture. Furthering movements of all different sorts is the goal of many artists in American history. Artists react to events as they occur, voicing their opinion through visuals rather than words. Sometimes the opinions of the artists reflect the public opinion, and sometimes they reveal reality. Art and architecture are important to U.S and world history, not just for understanding the past, but interpreting the present. The Colonial period was a…
