Anna Kavan

instability seem to the most common tropes. The British painter Francis Bacon and Anna Kavan, born as Helen Woods, are no exception. The similarities between their personal lives and artistic creations are striking. Both had the misfortune of neglectful parents, both moved from country to country throughout their lives, both were addicted to either heroin or alcohol, but both created gruesome and masterful works of art. Anna Kavan’s mother was detached and negligent. Both of Kavan’s two marriages failed

Evaluation of Group Work 1. Rate your group (not individuals in the group) and share what factors influenced you picking that number and explain what it would have taken to move you up half a point up the scale. I would rate our group as a whole with a 9, because we all took this project seriously and wanted to do a good job. We all put effort into this project, even though we all thought at some point that the others were doing more work than ourselves, however, we all put in more work than we thought

“It was the old New York way…the way of people who dreaded scandal more than disease, who placed decency about courage, and who considered that nothing was more ill-bred than ‘scenes,’ except the behavior of those who gave rise to them” (Wharton, Prologue). Because every time period has different beliefs and traditions, setting is vital to a novel. In The Luxe, the young and determined socialites’ lives are greatly affected by the setting. In this novel, teenage elites struggle to decide whether

That simplicity is narratively shown by character Platon Karataev (Platon for short), his dog, the complexity of Pierre and Tolstoy’s philosophy of life. Platon and Pierre are inmates to one another. Platon shows up in Chapter 3 of Book 12, 13 and 14. Even though a number of words Tolstoy writes about Platon is not significant compared to our personas such as Pierre, Natasha or Prince Andrew, it’s still enough

In the opening chapter of Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy uses the technique of in medias res, which translates from Latin to “in the middle of things”, to establish the central themes of his novel. The opening line of the book serves as somewhat of a thesis statement for the seven-hundred pages that follow – that is, Tolstoy asserts the unique nature of unhappy families to preface a book about several strained familial relationships. In the next sentence, Tolstoy establishes the novel’s chaotic tone

Anna Akhmatova was born into a high class family in Russia. Her father, Andrei Antonovich Gorenko, was also a writer in his free time. Her father forbid her to use his name on her writings so she came up with the fictitious name 'Akhmatova'. Akhmatova later married the highly praised poet and critic, Nikolai Gumilev. Gumilev was from Russia like Akhmatova. Gumilev and Akhmatova got divorced not long after their marriage. Anna Akhmatova did not have an easy life. She went threw three different marriages

Erik Erikson: The History, Development, and Significance of His Work Erik Erikson has had a tremendous life and has left an amazing legacy. He was an influential and pioneering psychologist, psychoanalyst, and author whose development of his psychosocial stages are immeasurable to the study of personalities. Erikson came from a somewhat troubled past, not so much economically, but psychologically. Erikson was born on June 15, 1902 in Frankfurt, Germany to his mother Karla Abrahamsen (Friedman

Based on the past information and the information I acquired during the duration of this course I chose to do my evaluation on Erik Erikson using the classical psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers using the non-Freudian / interpersonal approach from Adler and Jung. Since there is no way to tell if either theory is right or wrong it is imperative that we discover our own theory among the popular ones and derive our own method of practice based on our current knowledge.
