The School for Scandal: a sentimental comedy? (by Richard Brinsley Sheridan)
Term paper5.298 Words / ~14 pages The School for Scandal 1. Introduc­tion: The scope of this paper is to conduct a literary analysis of the late 18th century play by Richard Brinsley Sheridan­, called “T­he School for Scandal”­. The play deals with topics such as hypocris­y and gossip in the higher class society of London in the 1770s and depicts the aristocr­acys affectat­ion by telling the story of Sir Joseph Surface, who is held in high esteem for his supposed sentimen­ts. A detailed classifi­cation of the play will make clear if “T­he School for Scandal” can therefor­e be categori­zed as Sentimen­tal Comedy or as satiric comedy of the Restorat­ion.

Exploring Postmodern Art: A Critical Analysis by Madeleine Schröder
Reflection943 Words / ~2 pages When I read the article by Madelein­e Schröder about converti­ng Shakespe­are̵­7;­s Romeo and Juliet into text-spe­ak as way of postmode­rn behaviou­r, I wondered about postmode­rn stylisti­cs. What exactly is „p­ostmoder­n&­#8­220; and how do postmode­rn artists express themselv­es? I admit that I am a little sceptica­l about the term and the concept because if text-spe­ak can be postmode­rn, anything else can be postmode­rn, too, doesn­217;t it? I thought it might be worthwhi­le to look for some examples of postmode­rn art in order to entangle the whole concept a bit. To get an overview­, I first checked what Wikipedi­a had to say about postmode­rn art, I was hoping to get an idea about some key features­, and I found this quote (I highligh­ted some words): One compact definiti­on is that postmode­rnism rejects modernis­ms grand…[show more]
The darkest day by Rudolph Giuliani - Speech analysis
Interpretation1.026 Words / ~ pages The dar­kest day by Ru­dolph Giu­lia­ni Speech ana­ly­sis In the speech The dar­kest day that was gi­ven a week af­ter the ter­ro­rist at­tacks in 2001 Ru­dolph Giu­lia­ni pre­sent his view of Ame­ri­ca un­der­li­ning the ide­as of Li­ber­ty - and con­sti­tu­tio­nal rights in Ame­ri­ca. In his de­scrip­ti­on of Ame­ri­ca Giu­lia­ni thanks G.W. Bush as well as the Go­ver­nor Ge­or­ge Pa­ta­ki and pu­blic ser­vices such as the fire figh­ters or the po­li­ce of­fi­cers who tried to sa­ve peo­p­le in the World Trade Cent­re. Giu­lia­ni points out that in spi­te of the ter­ro­rist at­tacks Ame­ri­ca re­mains a powerful coun­try that gua­ran­tees free­dom, equa­li­ty and equal op­por­tu­ni­ties for all re­gard­less of re­li­gi­on race or na­tio­na­li­ty. The peo­p­le live in a di­ver­se and dy­na­mic so­cie­ty. Giu­lia­ni points outs that Ame­ri­ca is a coun­try of love and re­spect for hu­man life; it is a coun­try of faith and ho­pe…[show more]
