In his introduction to Permanence and Change, Hugh Dalziel Duncan wrote, “Burke demands that we become masters of many perspectives in order that we may understand one perspective” (Duncan xv). This statement does a sufficient job of explaining Kenneth Burke’s theory of dramatism to the casual observer of rhetoric.

To understand the nature of Lee, you have to take a step back and understand who Lee was before the Marvel phenomenon: a dispirited, middle-aged company stooge working in a dying industry, with no reason to believe anything could change. He was born Stanley Martin Lieber in Manhattan’s Upper West Side on December 28, 1922, the first child of middle-class Jewish parents. Stanley’s father, Jack, had been a dressmaker but suffered from chronic unemployment during the Depression. “Seeing the…

Article 31 – Greece takes initial steps towards online casino gaming legalisation Greece has been dominating the headlines as of late and not for good reasons. The country’s financial meltdown has become the talk of analysts and experts around the world. While the entire situation is fairly complex, to put it simply Greece has been spending beyond its means as a country for far too long and now it is paying the price. The country has received a bailout, with a second seemingly on the way. The…

The ways in which repetition highlights the differences between the speaker and the Lady particularly construct this lack. The speaker’s main object of comparison throughout the poem is the goddess, whose “radiant and shameless” (H.D. III, 13) beauty coupled with the Victorian connotation of “Lady” (III, 1) aligns her with Virginia Woolf’s concept of “The Angel in the House.” (Woolf 150) H.D.’s Lady possesses the ideal and almost inhuman grace of Woolf’s Angel, who haunts…

Although Adam Smith and Karl Marx have radically different economic theories, both their ideologies have the same goal in mind: greater freedom. Their divergent views therefore arise from their different ideas of what freedom is. Smith ties freedom to financial gain whereas Marx ties freedom to financial ownership. These differing views on freedom can be seen in their different attitudes towards machinery. While Smith sees machinery as furthering the efficiency of society which he connects to…

Reilly, Gary Marshall, and many more. Along with being the star of the film, Barrymore also produced the film. You do not see too many movies with woman taking on the main role. It was refreshing to see for a change, and what made it even better was that the movie was widely successful which put in a good word for woman…

I was receiving pay while I exhorted you to these things, it would be somewhat reasonable. But as it is, even you yourselves see that the accusers, who accused me so shamelessly in everything else, in this have not been able to become so utterly shameless as to offer a witness to assert that I ever took any pay or asked for it. For, I suppose, I offer a sufficient witness that I speak the truth: my poverty (West, Apology,…
