Lady Jane Grey

In her essay Jane Austen and John Keats: Negative capability, Romance and Reality, Beth Lau connects the two writers previously not commonly associated. Most comparisons of Austen and Romantic poets are with Wordsworth and Byron, as it is known she read their works. Alas, even without her reading works of John Keats, parallels between ideas in their works can be made (Lau, 2006). The fact remains that concepts of Romantic period, canon and ideology are based on the assumption of shared…

down. Simran was only 6 when she was teaching me, yet she was calm and patient with me. In the process of remembering that, I woke up and looked around my room. A little teddy bear stood on my desk. That teddy bear was given to me by Anuj. The little grey rock had a banner which said, “I will miss you!” I stared at the idol for a couple of seconds, yet this time I did not cry. I realized that nothing was going to stop them from moving. I just had to get over the fact, that this is not the end.…

now, am I correct?” “State your business oh dear brother or else I’ll have to escort you out of this peaceful building.” “Can’t a brother simply just worry about his sister?” “All that comes to mind is you being an old pervert towards these young ladies and have a possible criminal record after you leaving this place with a few complaints.” “I can’t lie, the boobs are tempting but alas, I’m not here for them but actually to bring you news about the incoming war, as you may already know.” “Go…

make plans for the future. Next, example number two: some species of birds are known for their ability to recreate speech or even imitate voices, among these birds is the parrot. One parrot, known for being the best at recreating speech; the African Grey Parrot. In particular N’kisi. N’kisi has memorized over seven hundred words and can use them in everyday conversations.

Being the second largest marsupial in Australia, the eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) is a very well-known species of kangaroo. It belongs to the class Mammalia and the average lifespan is 8-10 years. The maximum body structure is 7 feet tall and 120 pounds. Eastern grey kangaroos can reach speeds over 35 miles an hour, jump 6 feet high, and cover 25 feet across. That’s twice as far as the average 12-year-old girl’s long jump! In order to survive, animals have physical body parts,…

Jane filled buckets of tar adding dollops older temporary patching till she could get her local fix-it man, Henry Jennings, to do a more permanent…

The initial conclusion one can draw from the critique of modern culture by both Kafka and Eliot in their portrayals of modern man is that it is them placed in these settings and their literature is simply an outlet for said critique. The modernist sentiments expressed in their works were, in part, universally held opinions amongst literary contemporaries of theirs and as such were not only a veritable representation of them coming to grips with the reality of the world around them, but also of…

An Explication of “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” by T.S. Elliot, is a poem about a man’s psychological state of mind as he is walking through town on his way to visit a woman to ask her an important question. Instead of focusing on the woman and what he wants to ask her, he focuses on what others think of him and how he is not good enough for her. Prufrock gets himself all worked up about his physical and mental inadequacies and ends up not…

Recurring images of time, romantic disillusionment and memory reveal the inherent tension between the actual and the possible in Eliot’s poetry. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock dismantles idealistic romanticism and exposes the pessimistic perspective on life, love and time that is central to modernism. At the time of writing, in 1911, Eliot was twenty two years old, and was battling with a lack of lyrical inspiration. For this reason, critics have argued that Prufrock 's romantic hesitations…
