" But he did not stayed longer and started on with his journey the animal hesitantly followed him knowing the man was in for a big trouble with that, as he was traveling the harsh weather also began making its mark on the man's body but he wanted to ignore it and in his heart he was also terming the people who tried to stop him from the journey as weak and not brave enough to undertake such adventure "Any man who was a man could travel alone." With the passage of time and journey man realized that he was fighting a losing battle against the nature and admitted the sage's saying "Perhaps the old-timer on Sulphur Creek was right." As one starts reading the story the reader dislikes the man's arrogance and sheer disrespect for nature but also hope for the safe journey of the person and also appreciate the dog's rational behavior that it showed throughout, the ultimate result of the story is same that would have happened to any person with severe disregard for nature in such situation. The second story 'The Lottery' is by Shirley Jackson, it is a story that is least representative of common experience. It is a story about a small village of about 300 people who gathered annually for the bizarre lottery event. It is a story that is definitely not typical and this lack of typicality does not render it any less effective the reason behind it is that though the whole story had the sinister feel to it from the beginning but the nonchalant treatment by the writer that somehow gives the casual feel to it makes the reader bit confused and at the same time curious enough to find out more about the whole thing that was about to take place there in the village. The date was June 27 all the villagers gathered that day for the lottery but one strange thing they were doing was to gather stones for the occasion "Bobby Martin had already...
Soon the men began to gather..." As the lottery was about to be opened it was made sure that all the people from the village were present "there was a great deal of fussing to be done before Mr. Summers declared the lottery open" the series of interesting events continued till the family who won the lottery was announced the first sign of something seriously wrong occurred when the woman whose family was declared winner protested "It wasn't fair," Tessie said. Then second round of the lottery was conducted in which ultimate winner from the chosen family was selected, incidentally it was the same woman, she cried further foul play but then the shocking thing took place a stone hit her on the side of the head and then the whole village began closing in on her Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, and then they were upon her to the reader's horror it is revealed that the whole lottery was basically an exercise to savagely and ruthlessly kill the chosen person by stoning.
" (41) it is unclear how to understand "things are because we see them." Traditionally perception is conceived as a passive process: we open our eyes and receive input from the world. Kant suggests that perhaps it is not so passive: we "organize" the world into temporal and spatial dimensions, attribute cause and effect, etc. But what Wilde suggests here is even more radical. The "things are because" suggests a
For just one example, clinical depression in humans has been linked to early traumatic experiences; it has also been linked to specific genetic markers. Researchers have been able to plot the respective likelihood of developing the disease among individuals with either contributing factor in comparison to individuals with both contributing factors, demonstrating that the combination of biological and environmental influences is a much stronger predictor of depression than either factor
Nature of Women In many ways, the relationship between the female characters in Edith Wharton's "Roman Fever" and Susan Glaspell's "Trifles" is diametrically opposed between the two stories. Although there is a degree of amicability prevalent in the relationship in each tale, the principle characters in Wharton's narrative are largely antagonistic towards one another, whereas the principles in Glaspell's play seem to grow closer towards one another the more time
Nature of the Linguistic Sign Human beings have different capabilities with reference to their potential of acquiring and using language. Language constitutes one of the most important elements that enables communications and determines the formation of relationships among different entities.
