After dinner, coffee was served in the “Petit Salon”. The Baron de Valfort offered a glass of Charteuse to the ladies. Afterwards, he called Étienne, and speaking in his ear, gave him some mysterious orders. I could not make out what he had whispered to his valet, however, I did not have to wait long to learn what he had been so cagey about. “My friends,” he said, raising his arms, in a high gesture, meant to capture our attention, “you are, in a moment, ‘a vintage moment’, if I may say so,…

social milieu. It is difficult to decide whether poverty is a curse, and prosperity a bliss or vice versa. Mainly, it is because the have-nots have dearth of money that multiplies their grief and shows its hydra-faces. So, the have-nots live in the shadow of grief always. The grief races through their mind, crashes into their heart and later leaves them deaf and blind but to survive. Only grief remains as their everlasting companion. The haves and the have-nots dwell in the same social milieu…

This paper investigates the issue of syntactic deviation: word order (fronting, postponement, and discontinuity) from stylistic point of view. The construction here exemplified by clauses in T.S Eliot’s poem “The Waste Land”. Biber et al (1999:900) pointed out; “fronting has to do with placing core elements which tend to appear after the verb in pre-verbal position”. The purpose of the study is to examine obligatory adjunct, optional adjunct, and direct object and object complement fronting…

She constantly travels to different parts of the United States with her father, missing school, leaving behind friends, and only feeling close to Mo and her…

A cold, dark night. A rainy, frightening night. A terrifying, sad night. Edward Rivers stepped out of his carriage and into the shadow of the Lowood School. “Go”, he told the carriage driver. “Flee. You are no longer wanted here”, however his strong words could not sway the carriage driver, a hard, experienced man, who cared for his master, who insisted upon his staying. “You will not be able to return, and will surely die of starvation!” he said, trying not to appear too firm. “The nearest…

diversity of masks and distorted faces that watched me thrash the way through, whispering and bickering as I had been thrown into the middle of the crowd. The rain poured down as I sat there, shakily; my breath was heavy and unsteady, sounding really irritated. “WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?” I screamed, looking around at the crowd of masked people, rain flooding, also blurring my vision. More whispering, murmurs, and laughs rise from the crowd. In a willing attempt, I fight my way to get up, trying…

A Feminist Analysis on The Story of an Hour written by Kate Chopin Kate Chopin was an American author of short stories and novels, mostly of a Louisiana Creole background. Though she did not overtly associate with the women' s suffrage movement, nor did she ever refer to her herself as a "feminist writer", Kate Chopin is nonetheless considered to have been a forerunner of feminist authors of the late 1800s. But David Chopin, Kate' s grandson, claims "Kate was neither a feminist nor a…

However, it is my obligation to raise the consciousness level of these students. It is my charge not just to educate them on sentence structure or how shadows are made, or the order of planets in our solar system. Educators are in good positions to assist students with developing their personal qualities, helping them with self-awareness and building personal values. Many schools have fraternities and sororities…
