City, after Carlisle Indian school, where she then became an assistant at the New York Public Library. At the time there were lots of known poets roaming the streets of Broadway, and so Marianne Moore got a chance to meet a few of them, like William Carlos Williams, and Wallace Stevens. She became friends and mentors to a lot of them. She served as acting editor of the Dial from 1925 to 1929. Along with the work of such other members of the Imagist movement as…

They need to act as if everything is normal so that nobody suspects them. Macbeth thinks that it will be difficult to cover it up. He recognises his ‘false heart’ which implies that he isn’t totally happy with Lady Macbeth’s plan. After Lady Macbeth’s persuasion it is obvious that Macbeth is feeling very uneasy and nervous. (When he sees the dagger: ‘Is this a dagger which I see before me…’) When Banquo asks: ‘Who’s there?’ Macbeth replies: ‘A friend.’ That is a good example of dramatic…

In “The Lonely Land”, A.J.M Smith says “This is a beauty/of dissonance,/this resonance” (23-25). By this quote, he means that even though the land is not perfect, there is something to be found under imperfection such as something beautiful. Dumont repeats, “this land is not” three times throughout the poem to make sure the readers understand that the land is not to be taken advantage of. In both of the poems, the land is more than just a place to live. “Not Just a Platform for My Dance”…

“Goodness is something chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man.” How do Anthony Burgess in A Clockwork Orange and William Golding in Lord of the Flies reflect violence and social responsibility?…

The first of these is seen when Henry alludes to the Odyssey, “We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts.” The reason he uses this allusion is to show that if the people of the convention do not ‘open their eyes’ to the impending conflict with the British, they will have to face the terrible consequences just as the sailors in the Odyssey did by listening to the siren’s song and ultimately sailing to their deaths…

The consequence of Bolingbroke’s rebellion against Richard and stealing of the throne seems to be, on the surface, a great venture that has awarded Bolingbroke. The reality though, is that since Bolingbroke has wrongfully taken the throne and has risen up against Richard, there are prophecies which lead us to believe that Bolingbroke’s rule will not be smooth-running. It is prophesied by Carlisle “And if you crown him [Bolingbroke], let me prophesy/ The blood of English shall manure the ground/…

Although the protagonist gains power there is still a constant thirst for more, to better their position one step further, even if it comes at the expense of a life. Macbeth becomes fixated on rising to the throne in place of King Duncan however; just recently, he has been given the title of thane of Cawdor by the king. Although happy with the new title and new power, Macbeth still craves for the role held by the king. The importance of honor in society is a primary theme as it is what provokes…

Macbeth is aware of the threats of his obsessive ambition saying: I have no spur / To prick the sides of my intent, but only / Vaulting ambition which o’erleaps itself / And falls on th’other” (25-28). But witches’ prophecy places a seed of strong temptation in Macbeth’s soul that he was unable to control and eventually succumbed to it. When Macbeth doubts killing King Duncan, Lady Macbeth demands: Was the hope drunk / Wherein you dressed yourself” (35-36)? Ironically, Lady Macbeth must herself…

Typical business ethics dilemma result from the need to balance economic performance and social performance, when people think of fraternization they think it is harmless. But they are not seeing the bigger picture; there are rules and regulations in place for a reason, to protect good order and discipline for the greater good of the military and our nation. During this Session Long Project I will give examples of fraternization, and I will recommend the business decision my command should take…
