All these were narrow functional objectives in support of the developed study of humanities in the framework of everyday existence. To be educated is to be well informed. Education assumes that it is a lifetime development not only in sixteen...

As might be expected from such a summary, the action of the story goes much deeper than the simple activities of a woman... John...

...Literary Analysis Some poems that are written gain a lot more meaning in their words when the reader understands the history behind the poem. This is mostly because of the way that language shapes meaning. Many words that we use in our language are actually very abstract. They have a meaning, but this meaning is strongly influenced by the other words found around them. In many cases, these meanings are given further nuance when taken into context with the history behind a given poem, such as realizing that it was written during a specific time period or that major world events were taking place at that time. When reading a poem such as “A Song on the End of the World” by Czeslaw Milosz, one has the...

Modern literary scholars consider Euripides’s plays too unusual for the conservative American society (Dykstal 104). In his famous play Medea, Euripides presents his own perspective of what it takes to create a tragedy. Euripides’s Medea is the bright example of classical tragedy in the sense that it involves human sacrifice, personal fate and deities, turns the tragic flaw in the human character into the basic source of tragic complexities and, finally, results in the sudden reversal of action.
