  • Lovers and Friends; Or Modern Attachments
    Author: Anne Julia Kemble Hatton Title: Lovers and Friends; or, Modern Attachments Place of publication: London Publisher: Printed at the Minerva Press for A. K. Newman and Co. Date of publication: 1821 Edition: 1st ed. Number of volumes: 5 LOVERS AND FRIENDS. A NOVEL. Printed by J. Darling, Leadenhall-street London. LOVERS AND FRIENDS; OR, MODERN ATTACHMENTS. A NOVEL. IN FIVE VOLUMES. BY ANNE OF SWANSEA, AUTHOR OF CONVICTION, GONZALO DE BALDIVIA, CHRONICLES OF AN ILLUSTRIOUS HOUSE, SECRET AVENGERS, SECRETS IN EVERY MANSION, CAMBRIAN PICTURES, CESARIO ROSALBA, &c.&c. “I hold a mirror up for men to see How bad they are, how good they ought to be.” VOL. 1. LONDON: Printed at the Minerva Press for A.K. NEWMAN AND CO. LEADENHALLSTREET. 1821. INSCRIPTION. WITH SINCERE ADMIRATION OF HIS MUSICAL GENIUS, AND THE MOST PERFECT RESPECT FOR HIS HONOURABLE CHARACTER, THESE VOLUMES ARE INSCRIBED TO JOHN EMDIN, ESQ. BY HIS OBLIGED FRIEND AND DEVOTED SERVANT, ANN OF SWANSEA. College-street, Swansea, July 10, 1820. PREFACE. KING Solomon, the very wisest of all wise sages, past, present, and to come, declared, in his day, there was nothing new under the sun: how then can the weak brain of a modern author (ye sons and daughters of fire-eyed Genius, be not, I beseech you, offended; I only mean weak, when compared with the brain of king Solomon) pretend to lead the fastidious critic through paths untrodden before, or present to his lynx-like sight sentiments and incidents unheard of either in prose or verse? The difficulty of twisting, twining, and winding together, three or four volumes, of sufficient interest to attract public attention, is labour that requires an ingenuity few have genius enough to accomplish, and affords a weighty reason why prefaces are growing out of fashion; for an author finds his inventive faculties spun as thin as a cobweb in supplying the requisite number of pages for his story, without wasting his metaphors, sublimity, and brilliance, on a preface.

  • Black Ships Before Troy
    4/11/2020 StudySync - Model - Story Structure - Black Ships Before Troy Story Structure - Black Ships Before Troy Model Identification and Application: Analyze how a particular scene, chapter, or even a sentence contributes to the development of the plot, adding humor, tension, or suspense. How do specific events, dialogue, or descriptions help to create those effects? Try to identify the basic parts of the story structure: beginning (introduction of a problem), middle (development of the conflict, leading to a climax), and ending (resolution of the conflict). Think about how the author controls the order of events. Are the events presented in chronological order? Does time pass in between? Are flashbacks used? Model: Every good story has a beginning, middle, and end. But how do these parts relate to the whole? First, authors carefully choose words and construct sentences to convey meaning to the reader through plot and character development. As they write, authors also consider how to structure, or organize, what they have written so the story unfolds in a way that will hold the reader’s interest. Most stories are organized into chapters, and key sentences within those chapters provide clues about the development of the plot. The structure is important for understanding the story’s theme, setting, characters, and plot. In the chapter “The Golden Apple,” from Rosemary Sutcliff’s Black Ships Before Troy, the first paragraph brings readers directly into the time and place of the story. In the high and far-off days when men were heroes and walked with the gods, Peleus, king of the Myrmidons, took for his wife a sea nymph called Thetis, Thetis of the Silver Feet.

  • Timeline of Accidents
    EVENTS WE MAYBE SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPECTING1 Let’s do some thinking about Thoreau’s accidents. Weren’t there an unusual number of accidents in this particular person’s life? As a toddler, in a backyard incident, he had chopped off his own right big toe with the help of the kindling hatchet. As a young man, he had helped a buddy set a fire in a stump to cook their fish, and the conflagration that resulted burned over an entire section of Concord’s woodlots. While living in his shanty on the pond, he badly strained his torso muscles in avoiding the kick of a horse. Then he waded out toward Clark’s Island in Boston Harbor and was almost caught and carried away as the tide came in; had he not been rescued by a passing fisherman in a rowboat, our guy would surely have drowned. Are there other occasions I haven’t taken into consideration? Over and above what was happening to him personally, there was what was going on around him. During his lifetime there was the wreck of an Irish immigrant vessel on the rocks off Cape Cod, described in CAPE COD, and there was the wreck of the vessel carrying Margaret Fuller in the surf of Fire Island, and there was the shattering explosion of a powder mill near Concord with blackened human body parts being pulled down from the branches of the surrounding trees, and there were the people riding near Concord, backwards atop the train, who got their brains batted out against a low bridge beam, and there was a fire aboard an excursion boat that destroyed the lives of several people he knew — and so on and so forth.

  • Ways with Words Notes In
    UNIVERSITY OF CALICUT I B.A./B.SC./B.COM ENGLISH COMMMON WAYS WITH WORDS PREPARED BY www.literariness.org 0 Sonnet 29 William Shakespeare's Sonnet 29 focuses on the speaker's initial state of depression, hopelessness and unhappiness in life and the subsequent recovery through happier thoughts of love. The emotional state of the speaker in Sonnet 29 is one of depression: in the first line, he assumes himself to be "in disgrace with fortune," meaning he has been having bad luck. He also feels in disgrace with "men's eyes," implying that the general public looks on him unfavorably. This could be real or imagined, but it is enforced in line 2, when he bemoans his "outcast state." Here, "state" refers to a state of being, and in this case, he is cast out from society. Lines 3-4 make allusion to Job of the Old Testament in the Bible, who was cast out onto a dung heap and called to a God who didn't listen. The poet finds himself in the same situation: Heaven personified is God, and in this case he is "deaf," making the poet's cries "bootless," or useless. The idea of cursing one's fate also hearkens to Job, who cursed himself after falling out of God's favor. The speaker finds himself envying what others have, and in lines 5-9 he sees almost everyone as having something he lacks. He wishes to be like "one more rich in hope," perhaps meaning hopeful or literally wealthy; "featured like him," refers to someone who is handsome, with beautiful features; and another is "with friends possessed," or popular, unlike the poet (as has been established in the first two lines).

    W. A. McCay Chains of Command While exploring a group of devastated class-M planets in a remote sector of space, the crew of the U.S.S. "Enterprise (TM) " is shocked to discover a group of human slaves on a forbidding, glacial world. When the slaves revolt against their human overseers, Captain Picard, and his crew sympathize with the slaves’ plight but cannot interfere in the conflict. After the revolt is a success, Captain Picard learns that both the slaves and the overseers were controlled by a mysterious bird-like race called the Tseetsk, who are coming to reclaim their property. With the time running out, the rebels kidnap Captain Picard and Counsellor Troi -- drawing the U.S.S. "Enterprise" into the middle of their deadly plan of vengeance. ( AS THE AWAY TEAM winked into existence on the planet’s surface, the luxuriant undergrowth stirred, riffled by a gentle breeze.
