  • O MAGIC LAKE Чайкаthe ENVIRONMENT of the SEAGULL the DACHA Дать Dat to Give
    “Twilight Moon” by Isaak Levitan, 1898 O MAGIC LAKE чайкаTHE ENVIRONMENT OF THE SEAGULL THE DACHA дать dat to give DEFINITION датьA seasonal or year-round home in “Russian Dacha or Summer House” by Karl Ivanovich Russia. Ranging from shacks to cottages Kollman,1834 to villas, dachas have reflected changes in property ownership throughout Russian history. In 1894, the year Chekhov wrote The Seagull, dachas were more commonly owned by the “new rich” than ever before. The characters in The Seagull more likely represent the class of the intelligencia: artists, authors, and actors. FUN FACTS Dachas have strong connections with nature, bringing farming and gardening to city folk. A higher class Russian vacation home or estate was called a Usad’ba. Dachas were often associated with adultery and debauchery. 1 HISTORYистория & ARCHITECTURE история istoria history дать HISTORY The term “dacha” originally referred to “The Abolition of Serfdom in Russia” by the land given to civil servants and war Alphonse Mucha heroes by the tsar. In 1861, Tsar Alexander II abolished serfdom in Russia, and the middle class was able to purchase dwellings built on dachas. These people were called dachniki. Chekhov ridiculed dashniki. ARCHITECTURE Neoclassicism represented intelligence An example of 19th century and culture, so aristocrats of this time neoclassical architecture attempted to reflect this in their architecture. Features of neoclassical architecture include geometric forms, simplicity in structure, grand scales, dramatic use of Greek columns, Roman details, and French windows. Sorin’s estate includes French windows, and likely other elements of neoclassical style.

    A CLUSTER OF PRECIOUS MEMORIES A bud the Gardener gave us, A cluster of precious memories A pure and lovely child. Sprayed with a million tears He gave it to our keeping Wishing God had spared you If only for a few more years. To cherish undefiled; You left a special memory And just as it was opening And a sorrow too great to hold, To the glory of the day, To us who loved and lost you Down came the Heavenly Father Your memory will never grow old. Thanks for the years we had, And took our bud away. Thanks for the memories we shared. We only prayed that when you left us That you knew how much we cared. 1 2 AFTERGLOW A Heart of Gold I’d like the memory of me A heart of gold stopped beating to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow Working hands at rest of smiles when life is done. God broke our hearts to prove to us I’d like to leave an echo He only takes the best whispering softly down the ways, Leaves and flowers may wither Of happy times and laughing times The golden sun may set and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve But the hearts that loved you dearly to dry before too long, Are the ones that won’t forget. And cherish those very special memories to which I belong. 4 3 ALL IS WELL A LIFE – WELL LIVED Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room.

  • How Much Land Does a Man Need? by Leo Tolstoy
    Lesson Ideas English Language Arts 6-12 How much land does a man need? By Leo Tolstoy How much land does a man need? is a short story written by Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910). In the story, Tolstoy reflects critically on the hierarchy of 19th century Russian society where the poor were deprived and the rich stayed wealthy. Personal belongings, property, and other forms of material wealth were measures of an individual’s worth and determined social class. Land shortage was a major issue in 19th century Russia, and in his story, Tolstoy associates the Devil with the main character’s greed for land. How much land does a man need? inspires discussion about the concepts of how greed and both socio-economic inequalities and injustices can contribute to our desire to “have more,” even if it means taking risks. The story also calls into question additional topics that students can apply to their own lives such as how we anticipate and justify the consequences of our actions when fueled by greed or other motivations. Many of these themes serve a double purpose as they are also relevant to building gambling literacy and competencies. After all, being able to identify our own tendencies toward greed can help us pause and perhaps rethink our decisions. And being mindful that we are more than our wealth can release us of the burden of comparing our and others’ financial value. Pahom sets out to encircle so much land that by the Brief summary afternoon he realizes he has created too big of a circuit.

  • A Black Monk in the Rose Garden Lydgate and the Dit Amoureux Tradition Susan Bianco Dphil the University of York the Department
    A BLACK MONK IN THE ROSE GARDEN LYDGATE AND THE DIT AMOUREUX TRADITION SUSAN BIANCO DPHIL THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH AND RELATED LITERATURE SEPTEMBER, 1999 ABSTRACT This thesis explores connections between the courtly poetry of John Lydgate, monk of Bury, and works which belong to the French tradition of the dit amoureux. A theoretical framework has been adopted for this study which insists upon the need to historicise Lydgate's dits; these were occasional poems. Linked to this historicisation is an acknowledgement of the important relationships in late-medieval literature between ideology and genre and between ethics and politics. A study of the genre of the dits amoureux in the fourteenth century reveals poems which are didactic and courtly; they also frequently refer to specific historic referents. No courtly commission has hitherto been sought for Lydgate's dits amoureux. The suggestion that Henry Bolingbroke, the future Henry IV, features in both the Complaynt of the Black Knight and the Temple of Glas positions these poems amongst Lydgate's earliest extant works. The Complaynt may refer to Bolingbroke's exile in France; the Temple may have been written to celebrate his marriage to Joan of Navarre. I conclude that the Complaynt exploits the tradition of the French dit amoureux to use the allegory of an unhappy courtly lover to express political and androcentric concerns. I propose a multiplicity of readings for the Temple. It depicts a 'marriage' in Venus' temple of love, produces an implicit critique of courtly language and courtly love and teaches the importance of gaining popular support through eloquent speech in the public forum.

  • Nan Cuba Nacuba.Com Chekhov: Artist, Magician (Lecture Presented
    Nan Cuba nacuba.com Chekhov: Artist, Magician (Lecture presented at the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson Alumni Conference) In Frank O’Connor’s New York Times Book Review essay, “A Writer Who Refused to Pretend,” Chekhov’s stories are compared to Degas’ painting, “L’Absinthe”: [T]he figures are not placed solidly in the center of the picture and the figure of the man trails off inexplicably behind the frame, so in Chekhov there is always a deliberate artlessness of composition—people walk on and off, and sometimes a fascinating character is described and then dropped. Men are always being caught buttoning their trousers and women pulling up their stockings, and their outraged glances as we catch them at it are always part of the total ironic effect. Donald Rayfield, in his book Chekhov: The Evolution of His Art, introduces another technique that contributes to that same effect: The characters’ statements not only get them nowhere, they are not even possible to complete, so insistent is the absurd importunacy of sand in the speaker’s boots, the Cuba, Chekhov 2 compulsion to fiddle with a sleeve, the banging of an iron rail outside the house. Not only the plays, but also the stories are full of extraneous noises, physical tics and silences which give an ironic impotence to the sanest rationalizations. Joseph Wood Krutch, in his book Modern Drama: A Definition and an Estimate, explains Chekhov’s motivation for creating that deliberate artlessness. “Whereas Tolstoi and Dostoevksi were prophets,” Krutch observes, “[Chekhov] is a critic and a satirist.
