It’s a lot easier not to feel, I think most people would agree with that. When people separate themselves from the emotional side of life, things like guilt and pride no longer become issues that they have to deal with. For example, a common psychological test given involves a trolley rolling towards a group of five people, with a track that switches off to a crowd of two people. Most of the population would pull the lever to change the track, sparing the lives of the five people simply because…

There are many things I love. Like the morning breeze that brushes my skin and makes my hair fly. I love sitting under a tree and reading on a chilly autumn morning. The warm feeling I get when my family is all gathered and having a great time at dinner. However, when it comes to food I absolutely love Enchiladas Suizas. This dish is very addicting because of the creamy sauce and the savory chicken that mixed together is like fireworks bursting with flavor. Another reason is because this dish…

“Auto Wreck” reveals what its poet considers to be the terrible secret of modern life: the creeping indifference toward technological determinism, the simple violence of machine against human being in which everyone participates by failing to be troubled or moved by such disasters as automobile wrecks. The tone of the poem is likely to be melodious which an imagism verse is. It is a short, lyrical narrative poem. The poem is described in first person narrative. The poet in short is trying to…

kai jiaow (Thai-style omelette) and moo kratium prik Thai (stir-fried pork in garlic and pepper). Believe it or not, Bangkok’s sweets and desserts deserve some attention too. Travelers should try khao niew bing (sweets sticky rice wrapped in banana husks), luk chup (bite size sweets made of bean, sugar and coconut milk), roti (pancakes with filling or…

How does Mahfouz use imagery as a means of communicating varying attitudes towards change? Mahfouz’s novel Midaq Alley contains very detailed, yet often inconsistent descriptive imagery. Representations of Midaq Alley and surrounding Cairo frequently highlight the Alley’s claustrophobic nature, yet also its past glory. This motif of forgotten grandeur is prominent in the novel, and plays a key role in underlining the varied and often clashing views on change. Mahfouz wrote Midaq Alley in and…

Although his mansion is spacious, luxurious, and highly impressive to Nick and other characters, it is also reduced by Fitzgerald's writing as nothing more than a husk; a truly lonely space that is regularly filled with unimportant and unfulfilling partying to force the emptiness out of it.
