Émile Durkheim (1858 – 1917) was also a sociologist‚ social psychologist and philosopher like Mead‚ except‚ unlike Mead‚ he was French.

Emile Durkheim and Teenage Suicide I chose to write about Durkheim’s theories on suicide.

Page 1 The Satan of Paradise Lost The Satan of Milton’s Paradise Lost is often regarded in literary criticism as a remarkably complex character. Introduced to the readers as a fallen angel with a grudge against the almighty powers that be in heaven and a burning passion for vengeance‚ Satan receives more characterization and motivation than any other character in Milton’s epic including God Himself‚ who mostly operates in the background of the story. Because of the time spent familiar

The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James Apparently the fiction of Henry James appears to be about people at the center of high society.

Sarah was alone. She had woke to the sound of a noisy bird calling nearby and from there had started wandering. It was getting dark and the forest was alive with sounds. Birds getting ready for bed‚ crickets starting up their chirping songs‚ and frogs in a small pond calling out all in a chorus. She sat down next to a large oak to gain her senses.

John Milton’s Paradise Lost‚ considered the greatest achievement in English epic‚ is a poem which seeks to do the impossible: to provide an account of the book of Genesis through the medium of epic‚ a genre depicting‚ among other things‚ the religious practices and theological imperatives of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. For all that we know about Milton’s classical education‚ his early training in ancient languages and later mastery of classical genres‚ many mysteries‚ nevertheless‚ remain
