In the short story Liberty Hall, Ring Lardner
contrasted the superior to the inferior Mrs.

efficiency of Lardner's work, but they were
critical in the short story format. With limited
space and time, the writer needed to fully develop
a complete story from setti...

difference between intelligent and intellectual
thinking. Most people do not often realize this.
And sometimes, they do both blindly. Intelligent
thinking only works within the given
circumstances, while intellectual thinking steps
outside those boundaries and / or looks for ways
of changing the given. These two categories also
contain their own sub-categories of low, medium
and high range thinking levels. For example, if I
had just started worki...

The novella The Dead by James Joyce tells the tale
of early twentieth century upper class society in
the Irish city of Dublin. The story tells of the
characters entrapment, and the tragic lives they
lead, hiding behind the conventions of their
society. Joyce uses the symbolism to draw a

Master Symphonist Music Beethoven
678 words
Ludwig van Beethoven was, and remains today, an
Olympian figure in the history of classical music.
His influence on the last 150 years of music is
unequalled; while general a member of the
Classicist fold, he was in fact the first
Romantic, and pre-figured virtually all music that
followed the Romantic era as well. Perhaps no
other composer in history wrote music of such
exhilarating power and expressiveness; certainly
no other composer did so against greater odds.
Beethoven was born in Bonn in ...
