Chris Baldick defines characterization as “the representation of persons in narrative and dramatic works. This may include direct methods like the attribution of qualities in description or commentary, and indirect (or ‘dramatic’) methods inviting readers to infer qualities from characters' actions, speech, or appearance.” (Baldick, The Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms 3 ed.) Rabindranath Tagore’s use of characterization in The Child’s Return is very effective in understanding the text. One…

Presumably your self-awareness begins at conception, and thus there is self-awareness even at the cellular level. Now if you, and here 'you' could be a plant or a microbe, respond to stimuli (external or internal), then you are self-aware, albeit awareness of self comes in degrees - a mammal is more self-aware than a cactus even though both can respond to stimuli. If you respond to stimuli in a way that's not predictable by the laws of physics then you are self-aware. A rock cannot be a 'you'…

The goal of life is to live in harmony with what is ordained for one, or one's Personal Legend; happiness depends upon this harmony. Ostensibly, we all once knew, as children, what our Personal Legends were. The main problem is that as humans and adults, we strive to make things more complex than they really are. In the text of The Alchemist, this problem is mirrored by the experience Santiago has with alchemy. While traveling through the desert with the Englishman, Santiago reads several…

or at least as much as they pleased; that the weak therefore, who are the greater, have an interest in conspiring to protect themselves against the strong. It also appeared, that almost all the things, which man denominates good, are the fruit of human labour; and that the natural motive to labour is the enjoyment of its fruits . 4.2 WESTERN TRADITION/JURISPRUDENCE 4.2.1 Historical Milieu…

Fear is something that every living organisms have. It limits our potentials, it causes us to perceive something as dangerous, a threat. Fear controls us, it controls us so much as to even change our behavior. Many of the characters in Things Fall Apart tend to be in fear of something. They all suffer from fear of something. Okonkwo fears becoming like his lazy and shameful father, Ekwefi fears losing her daughter, Ezinma, and Ikemefuna fears what the future holds for him. Even though most…

Turtle’s Adventure Long before today, when the earth was untainted by the clatter and clamor of humans, animals lived in peace. There was harmony among all living creatures and everyone mattered. Everyone in the forest had a place and they were all happy. Turtle was one of these creatures who lived in peace and was always happy. He was average in size and closely resembled a lizard in all aspects of his physical appearance. “Look at Turtle go,” the other forest animals would say in awe as he…

In his book As a Man Thinketh, James Allen has a running theme which is the power of the mind. To start off his book, Allen discusses the power of the mind to shape one’s thoughts, character, circumstances, health, and one’s purpose in life. Then Allen transitions into discussing how one should strive for achievement; how one should chase after his own visions and dreams; and at last how one should strive for a calm mind. I will be discussing all of this and I shall relate Allen’s ideas to my…

Sweet Poison Revenge is like sweet poison. It possesses people and draws them in like bees to honey yet, it is a deadly device to be played with as it can mess with one's head completely in not a very good way. The need for revenge is like an infection in one's mind that if not put in check quickly spreads out and harms vital organs of the body which might ultimately lead to death. When someone has offended us we seek to harm them most times intentionally and get even the score for what they…

Since humans made the first illustrations upon cave walls, animals have been included in artwork and have represented a variety of ideas, stories, characteristics, and morals. Each individual animal carries their own symbolism, such as a lion representing royalty, a trickster fox, and a dragon for courage, and characteristics such as these may instantly come to mind when thinking of a particular animal. These symbolisms may be shown in a multitude of ways, by carving the animals into statues,…
