Dan Turèll
Der findes to motiver for mord: sex eller cash. "Mord i myldretiden", der er den 7. bog i Dan Turèlls kendte mord-serie, der bragte den hårdkogte kriminaldetektiv ind i dansk litteratur, bliver den navnløse journalist rodet ind i endnu et mord, denne gang i et møde med fortiden, da hans gamle musikerkammerat på mystisk vis falder om midt under en koncert.

Dan Turèlls måde at skrive er meget farverig og spraglet. Han er kendt for sin meget moderne og frie måde at skrive på, der ikke på nogen måde følger en fast form. Han beskriver områder meget nøje, som han gør med meget lange sætninger og en helt speciel humor: "Stolene - eller for ikke at bruge et for stort ord, de vaklende spontan-collager af træ-ansamlinger der stod appellerende ved bordene - svarede til dette præg af patina." (s. 31). Udover dette er Dan Turèll også aldeles kendt for sin sarkasme: "De døde er døde, men de levende skal rense negle." (s. 23).
Krimiromanen er overdænget med "forfatter"kommentarer: "For at ordne hvad? Det bundløst umulige kaos vi i mangel af bedre ord kalder 'livet'. Dét vi 'lever' - i mangel af bedre muligheder." (side 130). Der kan her både argumenteres for at det er forfatterkommentarer, eller om det simpelthen bare er hovedpersonens egne tanker, hvis der er en forskel - dette vender jeg tilbage til senere.

Dan Turèlls beskrivelse af jeg-fortælleren er yderst spinkel. Dette kommer af at "Mord i myldretiden" bare er én del af en hel krimiserie, og en beskrivelse er dermed unødvendig, da man stille lærer hovedpersonen at kende gennem serien. Man kan her se at Dan Turèlls mord-serie er meget inspireret af amerikanske krimiforfattere. Mest nævneværdig er Raymond Chandler med sin detektiv Marlowe, der har mange ligheder med Dan Turèlls unavngivne hovedperson. Med Dan Turèll blev den såkaldte "hårdkogte kriminalroman" bragt ind i dansk litteratur. Hovedpersonen er i denne form for krimier ikke i centrum, og der er i stedet i langt højere grad plads til at der bliver fokuseret

    Dave Scott has danced his way through thick, he . He now has an all-round career in being a performer, choreographing dances, music videos, movies, television shows, and commercials. Dave has filmed several tasks for both film and television. He was one of the main choreographers in So You think You Can Dance on FOX, Bravo’s Step It Up & Dance and Step Up 3D. Dave has also done his wonderful choreography in the cinemas like in the horror movie Prom Night, Maid of Honour starring Patrick Dempsey, and the recent release Dance Flick with the Wayans Brothers. No foreigner to film successes, Dave’s Disney movie, Step Up 2 the Streets, made over $118 million worldwide. His earlier project, Sony Pictures’ Stomp the Yard, was at number one for two weeks in a row at the box office and it made over $136 million worldwide. You Got Served (2004) won him the 10th Annual Choreography Award for Best Choreography in a feature film, and featured the artist B2K. In addition, Scott was the key ingredient behind the success of B2K, giving them their name, style and choreography. In just two years, B2K scored two platinum albums and headlined the sold-out tours nationwide which Dave contributed to greatly. Dave is a great choreographer and dancer because he is original, his moves aren’t copied from anybody and his moves are all his own. Dave has this certain style that is very “swag” he is cool calm and collected but fierce and strong at the same time. This gives him a very casual feel, which is what I like about his performances. His dances are always un-expected and you can always rely on him to start a new dance…

    Newell tries to create corporate advantage by introducing a “build on what we do best” philosophy started by Daniel Ferguson, the CEO. Ferguson describes this philosophy in more detail in the case by stating "We realized we knew how to make a high-volume, low-cost product, and we knew how to relate to and sell to the large mass retailer." This role for Newell was the foundation for how they would obtain their corporate advantage in the industry. Ferguson identified his focus for Newell as a market for do-it-yourself products and hardware. In order to gain access to new discount outlets for Newells existing products, they acquired Mirra-Cote, a producer of bath hardware. By acquiring Mirra-Cote…

    In the last chapter of The Problem of Punishment, David Boonin attempts to defend his belief in restitution as a replacement of punishment by the state. Unfortunately, Boonin falls short in his attempt to defend absolute restitution when addressing restitution during both murder and rape. Using convoluted language, the reader is lost in his arguments defense, instead of admitting that it falls short in cases such as rape and murder. To further understand this, it is necessary to consider the following. First, Boonin’s definition of pure restitution and why he treats it as an absolute concept. Second, Boonin’s defense of restitution in cases of rape and murder. Third, the problem with restitution.…

He first points out that the self is an evolutionary thing; asks the query: how did they deduce as creatures with selves? His conclusion: The divergence between self & other started with the evolution of vibrant item, which explore self-preservation from threats originating from the world outside. Dennett commences with a description of the primitive self, an organization that "tends to separate, calm, & preserve allocations of the world [and] thereby writes & continues boundaries" (Dennett).…

    Derek and Danny Vinyard, brothers,looked up to the wrong people. A very right-winged man managed to twist their thoughts and did the same thing to them that Hitler did to the masses. They and their fellows are feeling as a part of a community that is exploited by people who do not have the right to do so: Illegal immigrants, the Black, the Yellow and all the others who use their minority position to extract rights over the Whites from it - or so they are convinced. So, hatred against the "others" grows, and when it comes to a case of self-defense, Derek kills in rage, in hate, in thirst for blood. In jail, his eyes are opened and he can see the mistakes in the definition which made him a Nazi out of belief.…

    Derek Mahon

    • 1380 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Throughout my study of Mahon’s poetry, I was struck by how important explorations of people and places were to him. His poetic style can be considered quite detached as he rarely divulges personal details or experiences. Instead, his poetry focuses on detailed portraits of memorable characters and insightful analyses of a wide variety of landscapes. “After the Titanic” is another of Mahon’s poems that paints a portrait of an unexpected figure. Here, Mahon adopts the persona of Bruce Ismay, President of the White Star Line, who survived the Titanic tragedy which claimed so many lives. Ismay was vilified at a subsequent hearing into the disaster and isolated himself from society. Mahon achieves a remarkable feat in this poem. He gives an authentic voice to Ismay without allowing the poem to become an apology or justification for his behaviour. In his opening statement, Ismay claims, “I sank as far that night as any hero.” Mahon’s skilful manipulation of language means that this rings hollow. Ismay didn’t sink at all– this is the reason he has been shunned. Later in the poem, the sinking of the ship is memorably evoked through onomatopoeic and alliterative phrases: “a pandemonium of prams, pianos, sideboards, winches, boilers bursting and shredded ragtime.” The literal sinking of the boat is compared to Ismay’s personal sinking in the penultimate line, “My poor soul screams out in the starlight, hear breaks loose and rolls down like a stone.” Again, Mahon undermines Ismay’s version of events. Any man still employing a gardener, as we learn in the middle section of the poem, does not deserve to be considered in the same light as those who perished in an icy sea. His suggestion that he is suffering as much does not carry any weight. By the time I read Ismay’s final word, “Include me in your lamentations,” I had lost all sympathy for him and could see him only as a delusional, self-obsessed coward. Mahon has managed to give voice to a character while retaining control…

    I agree with this assessment of Bishop’s poetry. Her poems on the syllabus certainly pose interesting questions about identity, awareness and one’s place in the world, indeed the universe, and they do so by means of a unique style. This style is influenced by Bishop’s acute awareness of the poet’s craft and her ability to work with both traditional forms (sestina and sonnet, for instance) and free verse.…
