As the times change, the media created during those times change as well, and either consciously or subconsciously reflect the ideals and attitudes of society. Specifically, writers have deconstructed, examined, and put love poetry back together; writers have provided varying opinions and interpretations regarding the motif of love. In the Elizabethan Era, poets idealized love and ignored all potential hardships. In the Victorian Era, the concept of problematic relationships had gained popularity

As society evolves, entertainment evolves to maximize connections with the current audience. One play which has withstood the test of time is William Shakespeare's Hamlet, and a modern interpretation can be seen in Kenneth Branagh’s film adaptation of the play. One scene that emphasizes the modernization of the play is Hamlet Jr.’s to be or not to be soliloquy, found in act III, scene 1, lines 57-91, where Hamlet Jr. contemplates suicide and considers the implications of death. Though the original

Languages in the Pacific I have learned many different concepts that has to do with the Pacific Rim. It all has to do with languages and how each island or country speaks their own tongue, but all are similar in some way. In class I have examined historical and contemporary language use throughout the Pacific Basin, as well as in Hawai`i. Through exploring topics such as the effects of language contact, pidgins and creoles, and stories of language loss and preservation, and different cultures. The

The concept of idealized gender roles has long been a subject of curiosity for scholars who study historical reenactment. Reenactments rely heavily upon gender divides between the feminine and the masculine. Handler and Saxon (1988) suggest that authenticity in the reenactment hobby is a suspicious pursuit at best, because true subjectivity and “mindsets” cannot be replicated (245). Mitchell D. Strauss (2005) also considers authenticity in his critique of Confederate reenactors and the (in) appropriate

James and Lesley Milroy’s ‘Linguistic Change, Social Network and Speaker Innovation’ was published by Journal of Linguistics in 1985. The article is one of several publications by the Milroys which draw upon Lesley Milroy’s fieldwork in Belfast during the 1970s (see, for instance, Milroy & Milroy 1978, 1992, 1993; L. Milroy, 1987; J. Milroy 1992). I will first present a summary of the Milroys’ methodology and key findings. Secondly, I will examine the strengths of the paper, focusing on their appropriation

Hairstyles for the period 1750-1900 cover the Georgian era, Regency, and Romantic period hairstyles, as well as Victorian and Edwardian period hairstyles. These Era’s note not only hairstyles on men, women, and children, but also wigs and hats as part of the hairstyles of those times. When plays began being performed, even from Shakespearean times, there were never props, backdrops, or other decorations to show the audience where the play was taking place; the only visual concept was through costumes

thousand years ago, Jesus asked his followers. “Who he really was?” Tom Wright, who lives in 21st century, asks again. In this book, Wright puts the reader on a time machine and brings them back to Palestine, 1st century and starts the story of “historical Jesus”. Wright directly goes into the Gospels and talks about Jesus. Put down the ambition of Jews, take away the mystery of history, break the rule of religion, and at the moment when you realize about Jesus’ real desire, we finally can feel and

Putting pen to paper, Paul pleas with the Corinthians to better themselves through Christ Jesus. While in discourse with the Corinthians, the polemic language of Paul becomes, at times, difficult to digest. While pursuing a better relationship with the believers in Corinth, the apostle often used terms such as ‘we,’ ‘our,’ and ‘us.’ These pronouns can be understood in multiple ways; however, the manner in which they are comprehended sheds light on Paul’s agenda. In the analysis of 2 Corinthians 4:
