    The Anglo-Saxon ship, Sutton Hoo, was discovered by Basil Brown in 1939 in a burial mound near Woodbridge, Suffolk, in southeast England, and was excavated in 1939 and in 1965-7. This excavation provided a number of aspects of the study of Anglo-Saxons. It shows aspects of the Christian conversion, everyday life, religion, customs, kingdoms, myths and legends, and the study of the remains of the Anglo-Saxons - their artefacts and buildings. Sutton Hoo provides virtually the only evidence for the development of kingship during this period, and is the key source for the moment when the Anglo-Saxons ceased to be tribal and began to form kingdoms.…

    In giving us Perry’s interests Mr. Smith proves to be an utterly unreliable source of information. He describes him as a Sober man who likes the company of decent people and likes best to work for himself. He repeatedly compares himself with Perry, and although Perry might resemble his father in some ways Mr. Smith does not seem to notice any differences. He says that: they are both sharp even though neither had much schooling, they were made of outdoor jobs, they like to be their own bosses, they are fast learners, they are both skilled at many things and most importantly, for he repeats this idea throughout the whole letter, that they are both quite sensitive, or “touchie” as he calls it, “his feelings is very easily hurt, and so are mine.” Somehow, Perry’s father is…

During a scene in Act One, Stephen tries to reveal to Judy some of the lowest points in his adolescence. However, neither can move beyond their contradicting beliefs about the relationship their parents shared; and inevitably begin arguing. Therefore, the characters cannot share intimate moments because of their misunderstanding of each other's beliefs, which then leads to conflict.…

    The nature of existence in the Kingdom of the Dead is dissimilar to the Christian ideal of heave; the Kingdom of the Dead is a dismal place to be. Odysseus describes them as “shambling, shiftless dead” (p. 251). Existing in the Kingdom of the Dead is not a pleasing affair. People exist in death exactly how they died; the “men of war” are still wearing the bloody armor they died in (p. 250). The dead seem to be able to remember who they are, but they are not able to speak until Odysseus allows them to touch or “approach” the blood Odysseus spilt from the sheep (p. 254). Once they do so, the dead can only speak the truth (p. 254). If Odysseus were to ignore them, they would fade away (p. 254). To reach the dead, Odysseus uses milk and honey,…

    A world without human rights would be disastrous and dangerous for everybody, and additionally, a drastic change for many people. The Lives of Others is a fictional foreign film directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. This movie focuses on the life of a writer named Georg Dreyman as he is monitored by a Stasi officer named Hauptmann Wiesler in the German Democratic Republic in 1984. Wiesler begins to change through this operation, called Operation Lazlo, which was the surveillance of Dreyman’s apartment, causing him to grow to become a part of Dreyman and Christa-Maria’s life. Through Operation Lazlo, Wiesler completely invades Dreyman’s privacy, family and home without Dreyman’s knowledge or consent.

    <br>At the start of the story, we come face to face with the dominance of Neil's mother. "Be tidy at all times, then no one can surprise you" and "A little too ornate for my taste-vulgar almost" shows that Neil's mother does not just exist in planning everything for him("although he had been reluctant because of this very thing, she had insisted he could not turn down an invitation from the doctor's family"), she had embedded herself in Neil's thoughts, even to the end of the story like, "Close your mouth when you're eating, please. Others have to live with you" and " It will teach you how to conduct yourself in good society", all highlighted in italics. This brings about irritation and annoyance as Neil is really a "Mama's boy". He does not seem to have a mind of his own and lacked the moral courage to be his own personality. This is worrying as this dominance of his mother may stay with him all his life. I am, to a certain extent, angry with Neil, for being so easily dominated by his mother, and not by his own self. It is rather disappointing of a protagonist.…

    This week we discussed the death of the author and looked at readings by Barthes and Moxey. While Barthes takes an extreme position, encouraging the abandonment of the author and discussing why the idea of the author should be abandoned, Moxey discusses the ways in which the death of the author effects art history. Both of the authors state that we are moving away from the humanist idea that we have a conscious mind, that there is a universal truth, and that there is a possibility of objective and impartial thought.…
