Literary Devices In Marigolds By Eugenia Collier
Eugenia Collier, the author of the short story Marigolds makes great use of literary devices such as imagery, diction, flashback, and juxtaposition in
a way that creates a voice for the narrator that conveys both the regret over, and possibly the longing for her childhood. The diction, that is, the
vocabulary choice is expertly combined with imagery, or the unique descriptions and sensory details, in order to allow the reader to formulate the
experiences and the surroundings of the narrator's childhood in their imaginations. Flashback is used to allow the narrator to not only explain how she
viewed the events of her past as a child, but to compare these views with her adult feelings of the same events. Juxtaposition aids in further explaining
the connection between the setting and emotions of the main character, creating a better picture of the narrator's life. These elements all combine to
construct a narrative that effectively conveys the coming of age theme. The first literary devices that are to be discussed are diction and imagery.
Diction is the vocabulary demonstrated by the author, and how the objective and subjective meaning of the words and phrases the author chooses to
utilize help construct and expand the narrative. An example of diction used uniquely by the author can be seen in paragraph twelve of Marigolds when
this sentence is used: "the idleness whose prospect had seemed so beautiful during the busy days of spring now had degenerated to an almost

Theme Of Norwegian Wood
Norwegian Wood is a nostalgic novel imbued by death, suicide and sexuality. Murakami describes a Japanese youth beset by doubts, embedded in the
Spleen and surrounding by dreams. The protagonist and narrator, Watanabe, is remembering his past as a university student, while in a plane bound to
Hamburg. All his memories appear because of the song during the landing, Norwegian Wood byThe Beatles. The song brings him back twenty years
earlier, during the Sixties in the middle of the Japanese student revolution.
After this preamble, we discover the high school life of Watanabe and the original context on which the whole story rely. The trio composed by him,

From the beginning of the novel, we feel that the different conceptions of what is to live to Watanabe and Naoko will make theirlove story impossible.
The distance is unbounded between the two characters in their platonic relation, and take a geographical dimension early in the book. However
Watanabe does not hesitate. If he is uncertain about everything in his life, he want to live and is not absorbed by Naoko's death drives. Likewise he
is not attracted by the inhumanity of Nagasawa. Every characters of the book are allegoric of Japanese and widely more generally human beeing.
Here is the strength of Murakami's work, beyond a very Japanese context firmly anchored in student turmoils of the Sixties in Tokyo, story and
characters are universal. Main subjects like suicide, responsibility, depression and aspiration to live fully resonate in the reader's mind, and the very
Japanese sensibility that emerges from the work is transcended by

Essay on Intelligence Analysis
If you had that one piece of the puzzle that would have prevented the bombings of the twin towers in New York and the Pentagon on September 11
2001 would you know it? If you saw someone do something weird or suspicious before the attack on September 11 2001, would you have called the
police? If someone had walked into a United States Embassy in a foreign country and said that they know someone was going to use a plane to
destroy New York in two days, could this have stopped the attack?Intelligence Analysis puts the raw sources of information together, make predictions

Putting the data into related groups that will either confirm, enhance or disagree with each group of data. The process of synthesizing the information,
using the current data, past history of the subject(s), and additional relevant information, begins toward a final conclusion. Different predictions,
conclusions or scenarios are made based on both the data and the analyst insight, training and past experience. The results are sometimes rated based
from most likely to occur to the least likely to occur. As the International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence, writer Stephane Lefebvre
points out "Of course, accurate estimates depend at least as much upon the mental model used by the analyst as upon the accuracy and completeness of
the information itself" ( 236). The analysis is then given to consumers and policy makers, once it is checked by the analyst supervisor and peers. The
analyst should also be ready to give a briefing on short notice. But both the analyst and the policy maker or consumer have to be aware of at all times,
is that the intelligence field does not know everything. "On any given subject, the intelligence community faces what is in effect a field of rocks, and it
lacks the resources to turn over every one to see what threats to national security may lurk underneath" (Pillar).

Also, suffering from delusion of seeing another fake Mima, dreaming of the scriptwriter, the photographer and her fan are all murdered by herself,
yet, are truly killed by someone in the reality. Her talent agency, Rumi, who has the same symptom as Mima, she has not only dreaming, but has
actually attacked people, is sent to an insane asylum eventually. Satoshi was trying to put out more of the relationship between the real and the
illusion. Once a person has lost in reality, he/she will become confused, and questioning his/her identity. For an outsider, the dreams and the film
within a film are easy to separate from the real world. But for the person who is experiencing them, everything is real.(1) As Susan Napier points out,
the Perfect Blue goes beyond critiquing Japanese society to become a subtle study of the attempt to find oneself in a postmodern realm where illusion
and reality commingle in ways that threaten the autonomy of the individual' (Napier 2006: 35
The character 's personality in Perfect Blue is vague. It is not the ambiguity in the development of the character's personality, but because of the
characters themselves losing of their identity. This seems to be reflected to the audience, which we are not sure about the identity of the character.

However, the persuasive essay assignment I had to do for my writing class this semester changed my perspective. I chose to write about how frequent
testing benefits college students. I also encountered writer's block when I began this writing assignment, and decided to take a different approach. I
began making an outline of how
I was going to structure the essay, and used my annotated bibliography as a reference to which points I needed to address. To my surprise, the
outline really helped aid me through writing my paper rather than limit me. It was the foundation of what my writing would become, and reminded
me of my main focus if I ever got sidetracked. The outline also helped me direct each key point in my persuasive essay, such as, "Frequent testing is
beneficial to students because it promotes better study habits, decreases risks for stress, and aids in the learning experience overall." In my opinion,
this statement is conveyed in an affirmative tone, which is something I had a hard time with in my past writings. I used to have a hard time with this

Synthesis Essay On Gender History
The history of gender is a tentative subject in the United States. Much of what is known of American history is written from a domineeringly white
male perspective. This course has resolved to identify the breadth of information missing from the equation of gender history in the early twentieth
century and continue the conversation. However, it would be inappropriate to solely look at gender. Gender is multiā€“dimensional, and as such there are
a multitude of factors that need to be accounted for when analyzing gender history. Race and gender establish a coevolution between one another, and
in many ways race defines gender. The concept of a gendered race creates an overlap of stereotypes that can at times inadvertently define a person's

Essays In Idleness By Virginia Woolf
Konko. "Essays in Idleness" (30ā€“36)
"Essays in Idleness is a compilation of fragments of writing by the Japanese author Kenko, that he wrote in his moments of idleness and boredom.
These writings seem to flow as freely as thoughts and range in themes, from love and beauty to death and the home, but a recurring theme in Kenko's
writing is a longing for the past as he describes changes in the culture and traditions around him. Kenko notices the changes in things such as language
which is constantly changing. In fact, people today still struggle to understand the way that language changes as they grow, from new words being
created and definitions being changed continuously. Kenko however, understands that you can not hide from time,change, and death and explains that
even if you shut yourself away from the world in an effort to avoid it, the "enemy called change" will always attack one way or another. He may
long for the past and for tradition, but he doesn't try to run away from it, as he understands that change is inevitable. Instead, Kenko chooses to write
about the past and how things have changed, as he believes that writing and possessions linger long after people die and writing is one of the ways to
keep a time alive.
Woolf, Virginia. "Street Haunting" (256
ā€“265) In Virginia Woolf'sessay, 'Street Haunting", she explores themes of perception and identity through a
story about walking through an empty London street during the evening to buy a pencil, a seemingly mundane task. Woolf puts into words the
thoughts and feelings we may have when were alone and vividly captures these moments in her writing, the way people make stories in their heads
and dwell on what might have been. She warns that our minds can take us to dangerous places, "deeper than the eyes approve", and that we can lose
ourselves in our thoughts and start to question our identities, wondering, "Is the true self which stands on the pavement in January, or that which
bends over the balcony in June?" The way Woolf uses description in this essay makes the scenes seem to come to life and make you see things in a
new light, such as how she describes entering a new room, as an adventure, or how she describes secondā€“hand books. She also

The Diary Of Lady Murasaki
In the essentially dual religious system in Japan, ideologies and traditions play a heavy role in the everyday life of the Japanese people. Shintoism and
Buddhism intertwine and complement themselves in Japanese culture, despite Buddhism coming in from mainland Asia. A particularly powerful idea
from Buddhism is mono no aware, the realization and acknowledgment of the impermanence and its place in the world. This idea that nothing stays
the same forever manifests itself heavily in Japanese literature, whether in personal writings or fictional works. Despite spanning hundreds of years,
each work was shaped by and include manifestations of mono no aware. I intend to underline and pinpoint instances that mono no aware is influencing
these works, and discuss similarities and differences between them. In this paper, I have three works that I will explore, each one corresponding to a
different time period before the preā€“industrial revolution; The Diary of Lady Murasaki comes from the classical period, Essays in Idleness from the
medieval, and the immensely popular play Chushingura from the preā€“modern era. Kenko, the Buddhist monk and author of Essays in Idleness, took
great satisfaction in the idea of impermanence. A hefty amount of this work deals with Kenko talking about Buddhist values and the beauty of change.
He felt that "if man was never to fade like the dews of Adishino, never to vanish like the smoke over Toribeyama, but lingered forever in the world,

Jefferson And Idleness
Thomas Jefferson once wrote, "Determine never to be idle... It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing." I do not believe that
Jefferson intended to say that we should never take time to rest, rather that we can accomplish more when we do more. I agree with his principle
because always doing something keeps our minds occupied, increases productivity, and helps us to be more creative. The good thing about working on
something on something all the time is that it takes our minds off of bothersome situations. Often, the situations arise again after a while, but it can
help to take the shock out of an issue that happened suddenly. Similarly, it gives us time to cope with problems that occur throughout our daily life. It

Atsumori
Four Characteristics of Buddhist Literature
Atsumori is NŠ•ŠŒ drama from Japan. NŠ•ŠŒ drama was "originated as drama for the upper and samurai classes (the educated classes) and was heavily
influenced by Buddhism" (Gibson). Atsumori has four characteristics of being Buddhist literature because Buddhist beliefs are woven into the drama,
it talks about the afterlife of Atsumori, the focus "on the emotion of the character rather than the audience" (Gibson) and yugen.
Atsumori was killed by Kumagai during a battle, Kumagai then became a Buddhist priest because of his "grief at the death of Atsumori" (Seami).
Since he became a Buddhist priest, Kumagai changed his name to priest Rensei. Priest Rensi now "pray[s] for the salvation of Atsumori's soul"
(Seami). Atsumori asks priest Rensi to "pray the Ten Prayers for" (Seami) him and he does but wants to know the name of the one who is asking.
Buddhist beliefs are incorporate into the drama very well.
In order for Atsumori to be happy in the afterlife, he has to attain nirvana and has not because he wanted revenge for his death. In the end of the drama,
priest Rensi "has obtain salvation for his foe; so that they shall be reā€“born together" (Seami). This is another Buddhist belief that was included into the

remember the events before his death and felt the emotions that he went thru. The feeling of perplexity when "the Royal Boat and the soldiers' boats

Douglas MacArthur, military chief for World War II, once said,"Old soldiers never die; they just fade away." For those who survive battle and return
home safely, an entirely unique battle begins: learning how to move on. Vietnam War veterans specifically felt a lack of respect and acknowledgement
from their fellow citizens because of the controversial causes of the war. In the chapter "Speaking of Courage" of The Things They Carried, Tim
O'Brien's use of the symbolism of circles demonstrates the state of eternal meaninglessness and idleness that Vietnamā€“Warā€“survivors like Norman
Bowker experiences after returning home. In "Speaking of Courage," O'Brien captures Norman Bowker's failure to settle into his new life as a veteran

The chevy seemed to know its own way. The sun was lower now. Five fiftyā€“five, he decidedā€“six o'clock, tops" (138). In this situation, Bowker's sense
of time implies once again his life's resemblance to a circle; on a radian clock, the hands rotate around and around the center, never changing their
pattern and never traveling anywhere new. Norman Bowker, both literally and figuratively travels in an endless circle, incapable of making progress in

Yoshida Kenko's Theory On The Beginning And End
Then, when the time reaches 12:00, everyone happily cheers, and fireworks are set off. Kenko's theory about the beginnings and ends holds true in this

Kenko's opinion of art is that "Expert knowledge in any art is a noble thing" (Kenko 45). Kenko believes that learning an art is a worthy pursuit,
and even gives tips on how one should approach the learning process. In essay 150, Kenko describes a common approach beginners take when
learning an art. The beginner says, "I won't rush things and tell people I am practicing while I am still a beginner. I'll study by myself and only
when I have mastered the art will I perform before people. How impressed they'll be then!" (Kenko 134). This is the wrong approach for beginners,
Kenko states. A novice should mingle with the experts, accepting their comments and criticism, and learning from them. Even without natural talents,
a novice can surpass the experts after years of practice, and eventually become an authority in his art, gaining public recognition and a good
reputation. Kenko reminds readers that even the most skilled experts were once incompetent, and had many faults. However, through persistence and
diligence, they became paragons and teachers of their art. Kenko also states that although being knowledgeable in an art is admirable, it does not
make one man better, or more accomplished, than another man. For example, a stupid man who is a skilled at Go is ignorant if he believes he is
superior to an intelligent man who is unskilled at Go (Kenko 165). People should not criticize others

Kimi No Na Wa, or Your Name in English, is a film that was released in April 2017. Kimi No Na Wa tells the story of two high schoolers who swap

Additionally, Mitsuha's craving for the modernization of Tokyo shares parallels to Ghost in the Shell. Batou states, "if man realizes technology is in
reach, he achieves it. Like it's damn near instinctive" (Ghost in the Shell). While Mitsuha is Taki's body, she is seen using various parts of modernity
that is not available to her in Itomori. She instinctively spends Taki's money on various sweets and uses his phone to take pictures and text Taki's
crush. While Taki does not use his phone to the same extent of Mistuha, he uses his phone to log what he does while he is in Mitsuha's body. In
contrast to Taki, Mitsuha actions embodies how many millennials act with their usage of their phones.
Existing alongside the lively modern culture is the traditional Japanese culture. In the movie, traditional Japanese culture is still alive in Mitsuha's
hometown. "Mitsuha nevertheless becomes an embodiment of furusato (hometown): of premodern traditions that consist of communal intimacy,
folkloric practices, the preā€“rational and occult pagan belief system" (Noh, Nostalgia in Anime). "Furusato, a term that, as Robertson explains, is linked
to the word 'furu [i] (old) signif[ying] pastness, historicity, age, quaintness and the patina of familiarity and naturalness that cultural artifacts and human
relationships acquire with age, use and interation" (Napier, 293). Mitsuha is the embodiment

Complexity: Analyzing Industry and Idleness
On the surface, William Hogarth's overall message seems simple; those who work hard and continue to stay diligent, as well as focused, will relish
in riches whilst those who slack off like Tom Idle are destined towards poverty. However, if read more closely, Hogarth actually challenges that
superficial reading by the immense amount of detail put into each plate specifically in regards to each person. At first glance, we are able to see
exactly what he intended, Francis Goodchild's good fortune contrasted against Tom Idle's misfortune. In addition to this, Hogarth intended for another
message to be received. As Hogarth praises Goodchild throughout the plates, he also effectively criticizes not only his work ethic, but him solely. More
or less, Hogarth's purpose with Industry and Idleness was to raise the moral of the lower class people and encourage the reader to look past the
superficial reading for something more fulfilling.
It is vital to look at both apprentices' backgrounds by analyzing the many hidden messages and themes that Hogarth inserted into each plate. By doing
this, the reader can get a renewed sense of contemporary society during this time frame. Aside from this, it can also help to understand the ethics of
the eighteenth century and the aspects of life. This plate series is based on a "moral code" in which Hogarth gives specific notions of morality directed

Analysis Of Natsume Soseki 's Kokoro
Natsume Soseki's Kokoro illustrates the struggles of a young man (the narrator) who was alienated from his family and his loneliness as he pursues
acceptance and love by building a friendship with an elder. As a parallel to this, the elder (Sensei), sought an end to his social isolation through his
love to a woman whose qualities were not tainted by modernity. K, Sensei's childhood friend, had also hinted his struggles in isolation as he tried to
keep to his idealistic principles. This paper will analyze the isolation and loneliness that was faced by the Japanese people during a period of significant
modernization and how they approached it and attempted to solve the conflict between tradition and modernity.
Meiji Ishin was a time of revolution in 1868 that restored practical imperial order to Japan under Emperor Meiji, thus reconstructing the government.
Many people had high hopes in this new order of government but the older generation was torn between their tradition and modernization. In Kokoro,
Sensei was a character that illustrated loneliness and isolation in his individual struggles with this conflict. In the present, he said that he represented
neither the new or old tradition but rather a representation of a person who was caught inā€“between the traditional belief and modern belief. Here I

Analysis Of Yasunari Kawabata's Thousand Cranes
Gandhi once was asked what he thought of western civilization, answering that "it would be a very good idea", and in Yasunari Kawabata's Thousand
Cranes, Kawabata exposes the emerging movement from tradition to westernization in postā€“war Japan. Kawabata enriches his novel with a variety of
intricate relationships between children and their parents, exposing how the loss of tradition begins at home. Ironically, Kawabata then depicts how
even the teachers of tradition manipulate it with their hate and jealousy, tainting the new generation's knowledge of tradition, and thus moving them
away from it. This movement away from tradition allows the new generation to easily recognize and be influenced by Japan's newfound westernization.
Therefore, through parents, Chikako's poison, and the new generation; Kawabata explores the decaying tradition of the tea ceremony, expounding the
shift from tradition to westernization in postā€“war Japan.
Children observe their parents, assess them carefully, and know their parents better than parents do their children, which explains why the power
parents have towards influencing their children is limitless. In the novel, Kawabata exposes this power by linking the parents and their children
together, revealing how as parents begin to lose their tradition, so do their children. The protagonist of the novel Kikuji states that "he had never been
tempted to take up the [tea ceremony] himself, however...his father had never pressed him [to]" (Kawabata

Reflection Of Water In Siddhartha
Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse, tells about how Siddhartha, the main character, is not taught by any essentialistic truths that Buddha may have to offer,
but by the nonā€“essentialistic behaviors in the movement of the water. The motion and lifeā€“likeness of water is classified as an important symbol of the
impermanence that Buddhists embrace in their thinking. Water to Siddhartha and his mentor, Vasudeva, is not just something for them to ferry people
across, but a teacher to help them understand the constantly changing nature of existence. The water taught Siddhartha many lessons, but most
importantly it taught him to live in the present, the past always comes back; hence, life is transitory and truths impermanent. Siddhartha gains his first

The motions symbolize how in Buddhism the now is perfect, that everything comes back to you, and in life you have to go through many things to
gain different aspects of a whole. These three concepts, Siddhartha learns from the flowing of the water, help him in the concepts of the cyclical
journeying during life. The living in the now, the past coming back, and life being transitory form different journeys in their own ways, and become
reasons that help in the idea of the constant journeying Siddhartha will go through during life. Buddhism teaches the same topic, that life keeps going
and you are always in a constant state of journeying to achieve components of a whole, Enlightenment. The water acts as a symbol in Buddhism
because it teaches the exact same things the religion lectures about. The water symbolizes a metaphor for the journey of the Buddha, or Siddhartha,
learning from multiple different ways of living, to find a lifeā€“style knowledgable enough for him. Siddhartha is Buddha and his journeys lead him to
become a ferry man that learns from the water who's lifeā€“likeness is equal to the laws of Buddhist thinking,

Theme Of Osamu Dazai's The Setting Sun
The setting of Osamu Dazai's The Setting Sun and the history of Japan play a major role in the story and its theme; in fact, Japan's culture and the
events of the 1940s, when is was written, seem to be the catalyst for its creation. The title is a reference specifically to the fall of ancient Japanese
culture as an actual practice, that is, its removal from everyday use. The actions and motivations of the characters can be linked directly to the Japanese
mindset and its unusually close relationship to death, as seen throughout history. For example, Kazuko references one of Japan's most beloved novels
in her letters to Uehara: Genji Monogatari, or The Tale of Genji, which was written by an aristocratic woman of the Heian period known as Murasaki
Shikibu (97). When expressing her love for him and her desire to mother his child, she compares her passion to the iconic novel, exalting 'those days'
of Genji, Shikibu's main character, as the time of ideal relationships. The Tale of Genji indeed explores relationships and proper and improper
behavior, but it also illustrates just how deep death runs in Japanese culture; a major theme of the world's first great novel is evanescence and the
beauty of impermanence. In fact, the death of the main character Genji's true love Murasaki, although sorrowful, is described with great care:
Despite the fact that she was terribly emaciated, Murasaki still looked remarkable; the loss of weight had, if anything, distilled her beauty, which now

Literary Devices in Marigolds by Eugenia Collier

  • 1. Literary Devices In Marigolds By Eugenia Collier Eugenia Collier, the author of the short story Marigolds makes great use of literary devices such as imagery, diction, flashback, and juxtaposition in a way that creates a voice for the narrator that conveys both the regret over, and possibly the longing for her childhood. The diction, that is, the vocabulary choice is expertly combined with imagery, or the unique descriptions and sensory details, in order to allow the reader to formulate the experiences and the surroundings of the narrator's childhood in their imaginations. Flashback is used to allow the narrator to not only explain how she viewed the events of her past as a child, but to compare these views with her adult feelings of the same events. Juxtaposition aids in further explaining the connection between the setting and emotions of the main character, creating a better picture of the narrator's life. These elements all combine to construct a narrative that effectively conveys the coming of age theme. The first literary devices that are to be discussed are diction and imagery. Diction is the vocabulary demonstrated by the author, and how the objective and subjective meaning of the words and phrases the author chooses to utilize help construct and expand the narrative. An example of diction used uniquely by the author can be seen in paragraph twelve of Marigolds when this sentence is used: "the idleness whose prospect had seemed so beautiful during the busy days of spring now had degenerated to an almost Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Theme Of Norwegian Wood Norwegian Wood is a nostalgic novel imbued by death, suicide and sexuality. Murakami describes a Japanese youth beset by doubts, embedded in the Spleen and surrounding by dreams. The protagonist and narrator, Watanabe, is remembering his past as a university student, while in a plane bound to Hamburg. All his memories appear because of the song during the landing, Norwegian Wood byThe Beatles. The song brings him back twenty years earlier, during the Sixties in the middle of the Japanese student revolution. After this preamble, we discover the high school life of Watanabe and the original context on which the whole story rely. The trio composed by him, Kizuki, his best friend and Kizuki's girlfriend, Naoko. This represents the stability of...show more content... From the beginning of the novel, we feel that the different conceptions of what is to live to Watanabe and Naoko will make theirlove story impossible. The distance is unbounded between the two characters in their platonic relation, and take a geographical dimension early in the book. However Watanabe does not hesitate. If he is uncertain about everything in his life, he want to live and is not absorbed by Naoko's death drives. Likewise he is not attracted by the inhumanity of Nagasawa. Every characters of the book are allegoric of Japanese and widely more generally human beeing. Here is the strength of Murakami's work, beyond a very Japanese context firmly anchored in student turmoils of the Sixties in Tokyo, story and characters are universal. Main subjects like suicide, responsibility, depression and aspiration to live fully resonate in the reader's mind, and the very Japanese sensibility that emerges from the work is transcended by Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Essay on Intelligence Analysis If you had that one piece of the puzzle that would have prevented the bombings of the twin towers in New York and the Pentagon on September 11 2001 would you know it? If you saw someone do something weird or suspicious before the attack on September 11 2001, would you have called the police? If someone had walked into a United States Embassy in a foreign country and said that they know someone was going to use a plane to destroy New York in two days, could this have stopped the attack?Intelligence Analysis puts the raw sources of information together, make predictions based on the data, and finally publish the results.

Putting the data into related groups that will either confirm, enhance or disagree with each group of data. The process of synthesizing the information, using the current data, past history of the subject(s), and additional relevant information, begins toward a final conclusion. Different predictions, conclusions or scenarios are made based on both the data and the analyst insight, training and past experience. The results are sometimes rated based from most likely to occur to the least likely to occur. As the International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence, writer Stephane Lefebvre points out "Of course, accurate estimates depend at least as much upon the mental model used by the analyst as upon the accuracy and completeness of the information itself" ( 236). The analysis is then given to consumers and policy makers, once it is checked by the analyst supervisor and peers. The analyst should also be ready to give a briefing on short notice. But both the analyst and the policy maker or consumer have to be aware of at all times, is that the intelligence field does not know everything. "On any given subject, the intelligence community faces what is in effect a field of rocks, and it lacks the resources to turn over every one to see what threats to national security may lurk underneath" (Pillar).

Satoshi Kon's works were all released in the context of a Japan in the social, economic and political doldrums: a discursive situation that provides a point of reference for his civic conscience (Napier 2006).

Also, suffering from delusion of seeing another fake Mima, dreaming of the scriptwriter, the photographer and her fan are all murdered by herself, yet, are truly killed by someone in the reality. Her talent agency, Rumi, who has the same symptom as Mima, she has not only dreaming, but has actually attacked people, is sent to an insane asylum eventually. Satoshi was trying to put out more of the relationship between the real and the illusion. Once a person has lost in reality, he/she will become confused, and questioning his/her identity. For an outsider, the dreams and the film within a film are easy to separate from the real world. But for the person who is experiencing them, everything is real.(1) As Susan Napier points out, the Perfect Blue goes beyond critiquing Japanese society to become a subtle study of the attempt to find oneself in a postmodern realm where illusion and reality commingle in ways that threaten the autonomy of the individual' (Napier 2006: 35 The character 's personality in Perfect Blue is vague. It is not the ambiguity in the development of the character's personality, but because of the characters themselves losing of their identity. This seems to be reflected to the audience, which we are not sure about the identity of the character. The story begins with Mima and two other group members in CHAM, always dressing in cute, pink(girlish) style skirts.

  • 5. Anais Nin, a Cuban author, once said, "We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection". Writing is like photography. It has a thousand different meanings and will always be there for times of reminiscing. It has been an important part of my life by enabling me to convey my inner thoughts that cannot easily be spoken. It serves as proof of my greatest memories, but also moments of despair. However, there were several obstacles and hurdles that had prevented me from writing to my desirability. Despite that, the journey that I have encountered through writing has led me to overcome challenges and has transformed me into a more skillful writer. During the stages of writing, the most difficult part for me is...show more content... However, the persuasive essay assignment I had to do for my writing class this semester changed my perspective. I chose to write about how frequent testing benefits college students. I also encountered writer's block when I began this writing assignment, and decided to take a different approach. I began making an outline of how I was going to structure the essay, and used my annotated bibliography as a reference to which points I needed to address. To my surprise, the outline really helped aid me through writing my paper rather than limit me. It was the foundation of what my writing would become, and reminded me of my main focus if I ever got sidetracked. The outline also helped me direct each key point in my persuasive essay, such as, "Frequent testing is beneficial to students because it promotes better study habits, decreases risks for stress, and aids in the learning experience overall." In my opinion, this statement is conveyed in an affirmative tone, which is something I had a hard time with in my past writings. I used to have a hard time with this because I never used to be confident in my opinions. Due to the lack of confidence, my writings resulted to a temporary downfall. The uncertainty of my opinions became visible in my writing. Nonetheless, through the discovery of myself, I learned to voice my own opinion. Besides writing more affirmatively, I also had difficulty using sources to support my Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Synthesis Essay On Gender History The history of gender is a tentative subject in the United States. Much of what is known of American history is written from a domineeringly white male perspective. This course has resolved to identify the breadth of information missing from the equation of gender history in the early twentieth century and continue the conversation. However, it would be inappropriate to solely look at gender. Gender is multiā€“dimensional, and as such there are a multitude of factors that need to be accounted for when analyzing gender history. Race and gender establish a coevolution between one another, and in many ways race defines gender. The concept of a gendered race creates an overlap of stereotypes that can at times inadvertently define a person's societal Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Essays In Idleness By Virginia Woolf Konko. "Essays in Idleness" (30ā€“36) "Essays in Idleness is a compilation of fragments of writing by the Japanese author Kenko, that he wrote in his moments of idleness and boredom. These writings seem to flow as freely as thoughts and range in themes, from love and beauty to death and the home, but a recurring theme in Kenko's writing is a longing for the past as he describes changes in the culture and traditions around him. Kenko notices the changes in things such as language which is constantly changing. In fact, people today still struggle to understand the way that language changes as they grow, from new words being created and definitions being changed continuously. Kenko however, understands that you can not hide from time,change, and death and explains that even if you shut yourself away from the world in an effort to avoid it, the "enemy called change" will always attack one way or another. He may long for the past and for tradition, but he doesn't try to run away from it, as he understands that change is inevitable. Instead, Kenko chooses to write about the past and how things have changed, as he believes that writing and possessions linger long after people die and writing is one of the ways to keep a time alive. Woolf, Virginia. "Street Haunting" (256 ā€“265) In Virginia Woolf'sessay, 'Street Haunting", she explores themes of perception and identity through a story about walking through an empty London street during the evening to buy a pencil, a seemingly mundane task. Woolf puts into words the thoughts and feelings we may have when were alone and vividly captures these moments in her writing, the way people make stories in their heads and dwell on what might have been. She warns that our minds can take us to dangerous places, "deeper than the eyes approve", and that we can lose ourselves in our thoughts and start to question our identities, wondering, "Is the true self which stands on the pavement in January, or that which bends over the balcony in June?" The way Woolf uses description in this essay makes the scenes seem to come to life and make you see things in a new light, such as how she describes entering a new room, as an adventure, or how she describes secondā€“hand books.

  • 8. The Diary Of Lady Murasaki In the essentially dual religious system in Japan, ideologies and traditions play a heavy role in the everyday life of the Japanese people. Shintoism and Buddhism intertwine and complement themselves in Japanese culture, despite Buddhism coming in from mainland Asia. A particularly powerful idea from Buddhism is mono no aware, the realization and acknowledgment of the impermanence and its place in the world. This idea that nothing stays the same forever manifests itself heavily in Japanese literature, whether in personal writings or fictional works. Despite spanning hundreds of years, each work was shaped by and include manifestations of mono no aware. I intend to underline and pinpoint instances that mono no aware is influencing these works, and discuss similarities and differences between them. In this paper, I have three works that I will explore, each one corresponding to a different time period before the preā€“industrial revolution; The Diary of Lady Murasaki comes from the classical period, Essays in Idleness from the medieval, and the immensely popular play Chushingura from the preā€“modern era. Kenko, the Buddhist monk and author of Essays in Idleness, took great satisfaction in the idea of impermanence. A hefty amount of this work deals with Kenko talking about Buddhist values and the beauty of change. He felt that "if man was never to fade like the dews of Adishino, never to vanish like the smoke over Toribeyama, but lingered forever in the world, how things would Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Jefferson And Idleness Thomas Jefferson once wrote, "Determine never to be idle... It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing." I do not believe that Jefferson intended to say that we should never take time to rest, rather that we can accomplish more when we do more. I agree with his principle because always doing something keeps our minds occupied, increases productivity, and helps us to be more creative. The good thing about working on something on something all the time is that it takes our minds off of bothersome situations. Often, the situations arise again after a while, but it can help to take the shock out of an issue that happened suddenly. Similarly, it gives us time to cope with problems that occur throughout our daily life. It also keeps Get more content on HelpWriting.net

NŠ•ŠŒ drama was "originated as drama for the upper and samurai classes (the educated classes) and was heavily influenced by Buddhism" (Gibson). Atsumori has four characteristics of being Buddhist literature because Buddhist beliefs are woven into the drama, it talks about the afterlife of Atsumori, the focus "on the emotion of the character rather than the audience" (Gibson) and yugen. Atsumori was killed by Kumagai during a battle, Kumagai then became a Buddhist priest because of his "grief at the death of Atsumori" (Seami). Since he became a Buddhist priest, Kumagai changed his name to priest Rensei. Priest Rensi now "pray[s] for the salvation of Atsumori's soul" (Seami). Atsumori asks priest Rensi to "pray the Ten Prayers for" (Seami) him and he does but wants to know the name of the one who is asking. Buddhist beliefs are incorporate into the drama very well. In order for Atsumori to be happy in the afterlife, he has to attain nirvana and has not because he wanted revenge for his death.

  • 11. Douglas MacArthur, military chief for World War II, once said,"Old soldiers never die; they just fade away." For those who survive battle and return home safely, an entirely unique battle begins: learning how to move on. Vietnam War veterans specifically felt a lack of respect and acknowledgement from their fellow citizens because of the controversial causes of the war. In the chapter "Speaking of Courage" of The Things They Carried, Tim O'Brien's use of the symbolism of circles demonstrates the state of eternal meaninglessness and idleness that Vietnamā€“Warā€“survivors like Norman Bowker experiences after returning home. In "Speaking of Courage," O'Brien captures Norman Bowker's failure to settle into his new life as a veteran ...show more content... While Bowker was in Vietnam, he often did not have a watch or a way to tell time, so he learned to estimate the time of day by the position of the sun. O'Brien states, "he clamped the steering wheel slightly right of center, which produced a smooth clockwise motion against the curve of the road. The chevy seemed to know its own way. The sun was lower now. Five fiftyā€“five, he decidedā€“six o'clock, tops" (138). In this situation, Bowker's sense of time implies once again his life's resemblance to a circle; on a radian clock, the hands rotate around and around the center, never changing their pattern and never traveling anywhere new.

Kenko's theory about the beginnings and ends holds true in this situation. Everyone celebrates the end of one year and the beginning of the next year, but no one celebrates throughout the year. This is because the beginnings and ends are the most interesting and memorable moments of events. In addition to his theory on the Beginning and End, Kenko also writes about his theory on the importance of perishable beauty. Kenko begins essay 25 by stating that the world is unstable, and that "times change and things disappear: joy and sorrow come and go; a place that once thrived turns into an uninhabited moor; a house may remain unaltered, but its occupants will ...show more content... Kenko's opinion of art is that "Expert knowledge in any art is a noble thing" (Kenko 45). Kenko believes that learning an art is a worthy pursuit, and even gives tips on how one should approach the learning process. In essay 150, Kenko describes a common approach beginners take when learning an art. The beginner says, "I won't rush things and tell people I am practicing while I am still a beginner. I'll study by myself and only when I have mastered the art will I perform before people. How impressed they'll be then!" (Kenko 134). This is the wrong approach for beginners, Kenko states. A novice should mingle with the experts, accepting their comments and criticism, and learning from them. Even without natural talents, a novice can surpass the experts after years of practice, and eventually become an authority in his art, gaining public recognition and a good reputation. Kenko reminds readers that even the most skilled experts were once incompetent, and had many faults. However, through persistence and diligence, they became paragons and teachers of their art. Kenko also states that although being knowledgeable in an art is admirable, it does not make one man better, or more accomplished, than another man. For example, a stupid man who is a skilled at Go is ignorant if he believes he is superior to an intelligent man who is unskilled at Go (Kenko 165). People should not criticize others Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. Analysis Of Kimi No Na Wa Kimi No Na Wa, or Your Name in English, is a film that was released in April 2017. Kimi No Na Wa tells the story of two high schoolers who swap bodies. Taki is a high school boy who lives in Tokyo. He has a job in a busy Italian restaurant and dreams of becoming an architect. Mitsuha is a high school girl who lives in rural Japan and fantasizes about life in Tokyo. Due to a supernatural occurrence of a comet, Mitsuha and Taki are able to swap bodies. Through their body swaps, they are both able to experience a life that was unknown to them. Taki and Mitsuha bring light to two different lifestyles within Japan. One life highlights the traditional culture. The other life highlights the modern culture. Through the body swaps, the difference ...show more content... Additionally, Mitsuha's craving for the modernization of Tokyo shares parallels to Ghost in the Shell. Batou states, "if man realizes technology is in reach, he achieves it. Like it's damn near instinctive" (Ghost in the Shell). While Mitsuha is Taki's body, she is seen using various parts of modernity that is not available to her in Itomori. She instinctively spends Taki's money on various sweets and uses his phone to take pictures and text Taki's crush. While Taki does not use his phone to the same extent of Mistuha, he uses his phone to log what he does while he is in Mitsuha's body. In contrast to Taki, Mitsuha actions embodies how many millennials act with their usage of their phones. Existing alongside the lively modern culture is the traditional Japanese culture. In the movie, traditional Japanese culture is still alive in Mitsuha's hometown. "Mitsuha nevertheless becomes an embodiment of furusato (hometown): of premodern traditions that consist of communal intimacy, folkloric practices, the preā€“rational and occult pagan belief system" (Noh, Nostalgia in Anime). "Furusato, a term that, as Robertson explains, is linked to the word 'furu [i] (old) signif[ying] pastness, historicity, age, quaintness and the patina of familiarity and naturalness that cultural artifacts and human relationships acquire with age, use and interation" (Napier, 293).

  • 14. Complexity: Analyzing Industry and Idleness ENGL 331 Restoration & 18th Century Literature Complexity: Analyzing Industry and Idleness On the surface, William Hogarth's overall message seems simple; those who work hard and continue to stay diligent, as well as focused, will relish in riches whilst those who slack off like Tom Idle are destined towards poverty. However, if read more closely, Hogarth actually challenges that superficial reading by the immense amount of detail put into each plate specifically in regards to each person. At first glance, we are able to see exactly what he intended, Francis Goodchild's good fortune contrasted against Tom Idle's misfortune. In addition to this, Hogarth intended for another message to be received. As Hogarth praises Goodchild throughout the plates, he also effectively criticizes not only his work ethic, but him solely. More or less, Hogarth's purpose with Industry and Idleness was to raise the moral of the lower class people and encourage the reader to look past the superficial reading for something more fulfilling. It is vital to look at both apprentices' backgrounds by analyzing the many hidden messages and themes that Hogarth inserted into each plate. By doing this, the reader can get a renewed sense of contemporary society during this time frame. Aside from this, it can also help to understand the ethics of the eighteenth century and the aspects of life. This plate series is based on a "moral code" in which Hogarth gives specific notions of morality directed towards Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 15. Analysis Of Natsume Soseki 's Kokoro Natsume Soseki's Kokoro illustrates the struggles of a young man (the narrator) who was alienated from his family and his loneliness as he pursues acceptance and love by building a friendship with an elder. As a parallel to this, the elder (Sensei), sought an end to his social isolation through his love to a woman whose qualities were not tainted by modernity. K, Sensei's childhood friend, had also hinted his struggles in isolation as he tried to keep to his idealistic principles. This paper will analyze the isolation and loneliness that was faced by the Japanese people during a period of significant modernization and how they approached it and attempted to solve the conflict between tradition and modernity. Meiji Ishin was a time of revolution in 1868 that restored practical imperial order to Japan under Emperor Meiji, thus reconstructing the government. Many people had high hopes in this new order of government but the older generation was torn between their tradition and modernization. In Kokoro, Sensei was a character that illustrated loneliness and isolation in his individual struggles with this conflict. In the present, he said that he represented neither the new or old tradition but rather a representation of a person who was caught inā€“between the traditional belief and modern belief. Here I quote, "You see, I am an inconsistent person. This inconsistency may not be so much a natural part of my character as the effect that the remembrance of my own past has had on Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 16. Analysis Of Yasunari Kawabata's Thousand Cranes Gandhi once was asked what he thought of western civilization, answering that "it would be a very good idea", and in Yasunari Kawabata's Thousand Cranes, Kawabata exposes the emerging movement from tradition to westernization in postā€“war Japan. Kawabata enriches his novel with a variety of intricate relationships between children and their parents, exposing how the loss of tradition begins at home. Ironically, Kawabata then depicts how even the teachers of tradition manipulate it with their hate and jealousy, tainting the new generation's knowledge of tradition, and thus moving them away from it. This movement away from tradition allows the new generation to easily recognize and be influenced by Japan's newfound westernization. Therefore, through parents, Chikako's poison, and the new generation; Kawabata explores the decaying tradition of the tea ceremony, expounding the shift from tradition to westernization in postā€“war Japan. Children observe their parents, assess them carefully, and know their parents better than parents do their children, which explains why the power parents have towards influencing their children is limitless. In the novel, Kawabata exposes this power by linking the parents and their children together, revealing how as parents begin to lose their tradition, so do their children. The protagonist of the novel Kikuji states that "he had never been tempted to take up the [tea ceremony] himself, however...his father had never pressed him [to]" (Kawabata Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. Reflection Of Water In Siddhartha Siddhartha, by Herman Hesse, tells about how Siddhartha, the main character, is not taught by any essentialistic truths that Buddha may have to offer, but by the nonā€“essentialistic behaviors in the movement of the water. The motion and lifeā€“likeness of water is classified as an important symbol of the impermanence that Buddhists embrace in their thinking. Water to Siddhartha and his mentor, Vasudeva, is not just something for them to ferry people across, but a teacher to help them understand the constantly changing nature of existence. The water taught Siddhartha many lessons, but most importantly it taught him to live in the present, the past always comes back; hence, life is transitory and truths impermanent. Siddhartha gains his first lesson...show more content... The motions symbolize how in Buddhism the now is perfect, that everything comes back to you, and in life you have to go through many things to gain different aspects of a whole. These three concepts, Siddhartha learns from the flowing of the water, help him in the concepts of the cyclical journeying during life. The living in the now, the past coming back, and life being transitory form different journeys in their own ways, and become reasons that help in the idea of the constant journeying Siddhartha will go through during life. Buddhism teaches the same topic, that life keeps going and you are always in a constant state of journeying to achieve components of a whole, Enlightenment. The water acts as a symbol in Buddhism because it teaches the exact same things the religion lectures about. The water symbolizes a metaphor for the journey of the Buddha, or Siddhartha, learning from multiple different ways of living, to find a lifeā€“style knowledgable enough for him. Siddhartha is Buddha and his journeys lead him to become a ferry man that learns from the water who's lifeā€“likeness is equal to the laws of Buddhist thinking, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. Theme Of Osamu Dazai's The Setting Sun The setting of Osamu Dazai's The Setting Sun and the history of Japan play a major role in the story and its theme; in fact, Japan's culture and the events of the 1940s, when is was written, seem to be the catalyst for its creation. The title is a reference specifically to the fall of ancient Japanese culture as an actual practice, that is, its removal from everyday use. The actions and motivations of the characters can be linked directly to the Japanese mindset and its unusually close relationship to death, as seen throughout history. For example, Kazuko references one of Japan's most beloved novels in her letters to Uehara: Genji Monogatari, or The Tale of Genji, which was written by an aristocratic woman of the Heian period known as Murasaki Shikibu (97). When expressing her love for him and her desire to mother his child, she compares her passion to the iconic novel, exalting 'those days' of Genji, Shikibu's main character, as the time of ideal relationships. The Tale of Genji indeed explores relationships and proper and improper behavior, but it also illustrates just how deep death runs in Japanese culture; a major theme of the world's first great novel is evanescence and the beauty of impermanence. In fact, the death of the main character Genji's true love Murasaki, although sorrowful, is described with great care: Despite the fact that she was terribly emaciated, Murasaki still looked remarkable; the loss of weight had, if anything, distilled her beauty, which now Get more content on HelpWriting.net
