Bunches of people were moving on the platform with their belongings. In the crowd people, carrying their luggage, were struggling to find a way. Probably a train would have arrived recently.

Christopher Anderson was around 25, stern, physically strong,

John and Nancy got down, made the payment, and went to the ticket

So many thoughts were revolving in John’s mind. Whatever the decision he was going to take now, he was thinking about its long run consequences. From the discussion in the library he was now sure about the three things - Firstly he was first time exposed to the sternness of Nancy, though she did not appear so, superficially... He was sure that she would never leave him... Or never even think so..

The article under the eye-catching headline Leaders don't read Literature (The Jakarta Post, July 20) by Agus Maryono, the paper's contributor, is, in my view, superb in that it exposes a thesis, and not a mere opinion, of noted novelist Achmad Thohari of Banyumas regency. The Post should pay special attention to this novelist for the reason that his novel Orang-orang proyek (The project actors) is expected to be published soon.He became famous in 1981 for his widely acclaimed novel Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk (Ronggeng dancer from Paruk village), which succeeded in its record of producing translations in five languages, including German, Dutch and Japanese.But what is most stunning in that related story concerns the thesis, which can be appraised for its originality.

If you don’t know how to write a literature review then you can’t demonstrate that you have read and understood the work published on a particular topic. Not knowing how to write a literature review also shows that you have not done enough research and, therefore, are unable to produce it. In order to find out how to write a literature review, you need to understand what it should contain. You don’t write your literature review simply to describe the publications of others or summarize what others have written. Instead, it is a critical discussion that shows your understanding of different arguments, approaches and theories. Follow these important points in order to stop wondering how to write a literature review: You need to provide an overview of your literature review. Also,

What should you know about Literature Review in order to complete it successfully?A literature review shows previous publications on a particular topic by qualified researchers and scholars.

Italian literature presents this singular character, that it reached from its beginning complete formal perfection. Hardly had it taken its first steps when it produced Dante, its most universal genius; and with him Petrarch and Boccaccio. Shakespeare, Racine and Goethe only flourished after many generations of English, French and German poets; in Italy instead, Guido Guinizelli and Guido Cavalcanti had scarce time to astonish the Italians of the thirteenth century with catrzoni and ballate which made one forget the old troubadours, when they were overtaken by the master, as he himself says, Che l'uno e l'altro caccerà di nido. But Dante is Dante, unique. And unique also after him are Petrarch and Boccaccio. Boccaccio with his novelle, his stories, will emancipate the Italian spirit of his time and probably of all time. But poets like Dante and Petrarch, and -- after the period of learning, of the Renaissance -- like Ariosto and Tasso, represent only themselves, and through themselv

Book Reviews When I do my classroom observation on Fridays I generally have time, when the kids are out of the classroom at lunch or in “specials”, to peruse the classroom library. As I do this I take notes on what they are about, what strikes me about them, what I like, etc. Today I spent a little time today transcribing those notes as formal book reviews on Epinions. Normally my payrate in Epinions translates into, quite literally $1-2 a month, but for all of December I can earn $10 for every 10 reviews I write.  So, its worth taking the time to transcribe my notes now as opposed to later.

Ghost writers are people who write and compose for other writers. These are people who are not credited for their work, which is generally published under the name of the person hiring these ghostwriters. The most common examples of ghost writers are people who write for known writers, executives, celebrities and political leaders, where their work is credited to the leader or the author. Ghost writers are usually hired by people and publications for many different reasons. People who hire ghost writers to write for them do not have the time, discipline or the writing skills to properly complete a finished piece of literature. In some cases a person might have the necessary writing skills but may not have the skill to polish and edit their writings. In other cases, famous personalities who do not have the time to write or research a several hundred page autobiography end up hiring ghost writers. Enter the ghost writer who will either write as per instructions and guidelines provided o

Literature review is an extremely crucial part of your dissertation. A lot of students get confused when they start writing a literature review because they face trouble understanding the difference between a literature review and an annotated bibliography. Also, sometimes just knowing the guidelines doesn’t help. You have to look for something similar in order to understand what needs to be done. It’s the same with literature review and, therefore, students look for literature review samples to see how to write one। Let’s now discuss how you can get the best out of literature review samples.Understand the Difference between a Literature Review and an Annotated Bibliography: As you must have heard numerous times that your literature review is a list of sources pertinent to the

So, you have to give a literature review presentation and you need to know how you may achieve the best possible result. First of all, you need to find out about the duration of your literature review presentation. You might have to give a 15-minute presentation or a 10-minute presentation, etc. You can’t be certain until you find out from your instructor. But let’s say you are allowed a maximum of 20 minutes, you should then prepare your talk for 13-15 minutes as it will give you time for questions as well.In your literature review presentation you share with your classmates the results of your project and a summary of the imperative ideas in your literature. But, of course, you can’t cover everything in such a short period of time. You should talk about the reason behind choo

Back in 39 B.C. Horace a Roman poet said that literature was useful and sweet. Today in the western world literature is seen as being educational and entertaining. Poetry and literature of the modern world is presented in a way that is beautiful and pleasurable.Even when the author of a literary piece claims there is no real purpose to their work. The fact is that all literature is presented in a manner that is designed to convey the values and ideas of the author. This rhetoric is designed to influence and persuade the audience of the values the author wishes to pass on in a hope that the reader will buy in.Understanding what message the author is trying to convey is not always easy. With a mix of vocabulary and colorful descriptive words it can sometimes take a little bit of digestion to understanding the true meaning of what one is reading. This is part of the beauty and intrigue that draw people to literature and poetry.The literature need not be deep and complex to portray a messa

Back in August I posted about a site called Daily Lit where you can read a book via email in installments. Well today I received the last installment of Jane Austin’s Emma, and I must say I found it a nice way to read a book. I check email and the web via me mobile phone, so it was handy if I had a few spare minutes where I was otherwise unoccupied, I could turn it on and read a few pages, without having to have lugged around a book. (Not that I mind lugging around books - but sometimes you can’t!) Now I’m trying to decide if I’ll read Sun Tzu’s Art of War, As You Like It of the Bill Shakespeare persuasion, or whether I’ll venture into another Jane Austin. Share This

Doris Lessing, who won the Nobel Literature Prize recently said the following:  ”September 11 was terrible, but if one goes back over the history of the IRA, what happened to the Americans wasn’t that terrible,” the Nobel Literature Prize winner told the leading Spanish daily El Pais. “Some Americans will think I’m crazy. Many people died, two prominent buildings fell, but it was neither as terrible nor as extraordinary as they think. They’re a very naive people, or they pretend to be,” she said in an interview published Sunday.   We are either naive or pretend to be because why? Because September 11th had a profound effect on many of us? Because we tend to put an attack on our soil above what happened with the IRA in another country? Of course we are going to put precedence on an attack on us above attacks on other countries, if this make me naive, then I am guilty. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the Sept. 11 attacks. About 3,700 died an

In the last year I've been realizing some growing trends that have made reading very difficult for me. Some of these trends have been in books that have gained popularity and the worst part of this is that these books become examples of good speculative literature when in reality they are not even good literature to begin with. We should not accept these trends, or allow these trends in any way to shape the direction of speculative literature. To do so could very well kill the genre, or at least kill its chances to be accepted by the academic world. It is already difficult for the literary academia to accept science fiction or fantasy as true literature and they will have no reason and no desire to accept it if they are forced to sift through dozens of books just to find one that is written well. So here they are (feel free to add to this):POV ViolationsI've read two books now that violate POV. One time I can accept, even two times doesn't bother me too much, but when it becom

When Salman Rushdie said in his Vintage Book of Indian Writing that "the prose writing - both fiction and non-fiction - created in this period by Indian writers working in English, is proving to be a stronger and more important body of work than most of what is being produced in the 16 'official languages' of India, the so-called 'vernacular' languages, during the same time: and indeed, this new, and still burgeoning, 'Indo-Anglian' literature represents the most valuable contribution India has yet made to the world of books," opinions flew. Here are two reviews of The Picador Book of Modern Indian Literature , an anthology of modern Indian literatures including the vernaculars, edited by noted novelist Amit Chaudhuri who asks, "Can it be true that Indian writing, that endlessly rich, complex and problematic entity, is to be represented by a handful writers who write in English?"

The British novelist, Doris Lessing won the 2007 Nobel Prize for literature, announced yesterday. She is 87 years old at present, just weeks short of her 88th birthday. She is best known for her novel, ‘The Golden Notebook’, written in 1962. The academy that conferred most coveted prize on her called her an “epicist of the female experience, who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilization to scrutiny.” The announcement of the prize was made by Professor Horace Engdahl, Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy, on 11 October 2007.She debuted as a novelist with ‘The Grass is Singing’ in 1950. Recently she produced novels like ‘The Good Terrorist’ (1985) that was a satire on romantic politics. In 1988, she wrote ‘The Fifth Child’ (1988) – it was about the tragedy of a family by an antisocial and violent child. Her latest ‘The Cleft’ is a science fiction.

Dissertation literature review is nothing but the thesis statement of the research work that you need to present properly, in an order to make it acceptable by the committee. The research work is something you cannot do without the support of your colleagues, family and friends. It requires immense support from your advisor as well. For anybody starting a fresh, working on dissertation is a completely new experience. It is altogether different from the study and literature they have reviewed until now. It has a personal touch that makes it unique. It is giving evidences to your opinions or denying certain known facts. Whatever it is, it requires a thorough understanding of the subject.

Writers have from time to time experimented with different themes to weave an altogether new web in their literary works. The presence of a supernatural element has been one of the favourites with many authors.When Shakespeare made the ghost of Hamlet’s father appear before him in his drama ‘Hamlet’, it was merely that he had used what the Elizabethans already believed. Some of them thought that the ghosts were hallucinations but there were others who believed that the spirit made its journey back to the Earth in order to accomplish some incomplete task. Then there were a section of people who believed that it was by the permission of God that the spirit came to Earth to give a message. But this was only one side – God’s divine spirit; it could be an evil spirit or an independent spirit with a motive to create chaos in society.Hamlet too in the play doesn’t believe the ghost at first instance. He takes pains to prove what the ghost told him about his father’s murder. This

Author: Allen SpeightPaperback: 166 pagesPublisher: Cambridge University Press (February 2001)Language: EnglishISBN: 0521796342(R)Allen Speight argues that behind Hegel's extraordinary appeal to literature in the Phenomenology of Spirit lies a philosophical project concerned with understanding human agency in the modern world. It shows that Hegel looked to three literary genres--tragedy, comedy, and the romantic novel--as offering privileged access to three moments of human agency: retrospectivity, theatricality, and forgiveness. Taking full account of the authors that Hegel himself refers to (Sophocles, Diderot, Schlegel, Jacobi), Allen Speight has written a book with a broad appeal to both philosophers and literary theorists.

It never fails to happen. About every six or eight months, my reading tastes change drastically. During those six months, I can't seem to get enough of the kind of book I crave. Around the fifth or sixth month, I start to feel a kind of mental indigestion -- like I do after I really gorge myself on pizza or Oreo cookies. The sign is that every novel and story the genre that has consumed my life for half a year is now suddenly as boring as watching paint dry. I've found that the best thing is to dismiss completely my view of the books I read during this waning period. Unfortunately, those books are tainted for me for several years.The last time this reading shift happened was last February when I read Keith Strohm’s Tomb of Horrors. It had been well over a year since I’d been a chronic reader of fantasy and sf, and Strohm’s novel awoken in my just how much I loved it. Before that, I’d spent almost ten months reading nothing except theology and spirituality. Before tha

German Nobel Prize Winner, Thomas Mann in his novel "The Magic Mountain' writes: "What is time? It is a secret - lacking in substance and yet almighty" The concept of time has been treated differently in different periods of time. In ancient Greece time was treated as a circle. Hesoid, the Greek historian of 8th century B.C. divided time into five ages of mankind, beginning with the golden age of the distant past when men lived in peace and continuing upto the contemporary Iron Age where fights and warfare prevail. But in medieval and modern times time has been treated as a linear process. Saint Augustine in his "City of God' favoured the linear concept of time and labelled the Greek cyclic time as a mere superstition.Time has been mentioned in literature in different ways. Even the mythical and cyclic depiction of time had influenced many writers such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez ("One Hundred Years of Solitude'), Octavio Paz (his poem "Piedra de sol'). Even T.S.

From time to time, I find myself perusing through apologetic literature. As of late, I’ve been on a hunt for apologetic literature pertaining to the Hammurabi Code and other ancient legal texts. I’m always dismayed at the amount of people who are willing to seriously maintain that the United States government was founded on the Ten Commandments. To suggest such a thing either ignores other ancient societies or it relegates them to a position of inferiority without sufficient reasoning. While admittedly there are plenty of people that will simply ignore other ancient legal texts, I was more interested in the response from those that recognize that other ancient legal texts exist and address the issue. Apologetic Press was one such site. Apologetic Press tries to address the issue of legal codes that predated or were contemporaneous with the Pentateuch. It takes the stance that although these legal codes predated or were contemporaneous with the Pentateuch, the Pentateuch is so

A year ago I would walk into mega bookstores like Barnes and Noble and head straight to the magazines of photography section. Today when I walk in I head straight for the travel section. Though every time I seem to be quite disappointed. There are several shelves filled of books that list every restaurant, park, club, and museum in the country. You can buy these books by city, state, country and more. You can read all the ratings of the food and how much they cost to see what fits your budget. But for all the people who buy these books and the millions of travelers around the globe there is only a small portion of the travel section designated for essays and the stories that really make traveling what it is. Of the millions of travel books sold telling about reviews, there should be another thousand to accompany them with the stories. In this year I have become more opinionated on what traveling, roadtripping, and tourism are. To me, it doesn’t much matter if you’re on a mot

The first novel, called The story of Genji, was written in 1007 by Japanese noble woman, Murasaki Shikibu. In 1097, Trotula, a midwife of Salerno, wrote The Diseases of Women - it was used in medical schools for 600 years. The world's longest nonfiction work is The Yongle Dadian, a 10,000-volume encyclopaedia produced by 5,000 scholars during the Ming Dynasty in China 500 years ago. Greek

As the Web continues to grow, it is good to see the arts and literature represented on-line. Of course, many arts and literature sites are either experimental or produced by single artists, authors or critics. Some privately produced art and literature sites are very basic - but even these are often innovative. Others are associated with multi-million dollar web sites.Web 2.0 is advantaged by a number of creatively orientated sites both large and small. The most popular book club in the US  - and probably in the world - is that developed and maintained by Oprah Winfrey. Oprah's Book Club draws millions of readers to the Web to read reviews, watch interviews. Oprah recently (Tuesday June 5th in the US) conducted an on-line interview with Cormac McCarthy - recent winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for fiction for his apocalyptic study of the human condition titled 'The Road'. Oprah's book club continues to strengthen its reputation by offering free membership and the opportunit

This is a question Orson Scott Card tries to answer in the second half of this week's Uncle Orson Reviews Everything. Here's a snippet:Some might argue that an English professor's job is to teach students to appreciate rarefied literature.I don't think so. I think that when English professors prescribe what fiction ought to be, they are the enemies of art and should be devoutly ignored by writers. Literature does not take place at the university -- it takes place in the constant interaction between writers and readers.Literature professors (and other critics) are observers and commentators; the moment they begin to prescribe what should be written and declare vast reaches of literature not to be literature at all, they have actually admitted themselves to be irrelevant to the real literature of their age.It's like the snooty people in Shakespeare's day who thought that only poetry was real literature, and epic poetry was the highest form. The result was Faerie Queen, which is wo

A year ago, when I started thinking about home schooling my kids, one of my immediate concerns was how I'd know which books were good. I don't necessarily mean those books my kids will read for fun. In fact, I don't particularly care what they read, within reason, so long as they read. I'm talking about the books I'm going to use in their formal school work.I've come to see this was a needless worry. I've come to see that the litmus test for judging good children's books is relatively simple: How much do you enjoy them?This epiphany came to me about 30 pages into V. M. Hillyer's A Child's History of the World. I happened upon this book in my seach for a good history spine -- the term home schoolers use for the comprehensive history book that will help you organize your history curriculum.I had tried to read other children's history books, but without much success. I was beginning to worry that I wouldn't find one at all. They all seemed to dry, trite, and condescendi

The Temple of Literature is Vietnam's historical seat of learning and is the most sacred place for the disciples of Confucius. It is one of the few remaining buildings from the original city founded by Emperor Ly Thanth Tong in the 11th century and is a well-preserved example of Vietnamese architecture. It became the site of the country's first university in 1076. Consisting of a complex of small buildings and five walled courtyards, it was an exclusive establishment teaching the principles of Confucius. Over a period of 900 years thousands of Vietnamese scholars graduated from the university. In the third courtyard is a pond, the Well of Heavenly Clarity, and beside it are 82 stone stelae, mounted on tortoises and engraved with the names of successful graduates. There is also a temple dedicated to Confucius and an altar where the king and his mandarins would make sacrifices.Click photo to enlarge

Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim country, is ground zero for a fledgling literary movement whose topic is sex and whose practitioners are women, says a report in the LA Times.While the launch of Playboy in the country drew vociferous protests from clerics, "far edgier work by the country's most provocative female authors is printed without fuss by mainstream publishers and widely available in bookstores. Instead of banning or burning the books, government and religious leaders have largely ignored the erotic works, even as some of the best-written race up the bestsellers list," writes Paul Watson of the LA Times.The writer meets one such writer, Dinar Rahayu, 36, who teaches at a high school. "Teaching high school chemistry, she was the picture of propriety, not an inch of flesh exposed except her hands and a cheerful face framed by a tightly pinned head scarf ... But during the school break for the holy month of Ramadan, Dinar Rahayu was free to indulge her fantasies ..

In Breakpoint magazine, Colson first talks about The Resurgence of Christian Fiction. The links at the bottom of his article are worth a click-over in their own right.
