Cohn's growing obsession over Brett is his fault, not hers. No one can force a person to pick fights, to engage in clandestine meetings, and to play the fool. Cohn's foolishness is a direct consequence of his own lack of self-esteem and his decision to live as a literal outsider in Europe.
Even Mike Campbell, who Brett pledged to love and marry, must take responsibility for his own pain. Knowing Brett's past and her attitude toward interpersonal relationships, Mike should not expect Brett to suddenly transform her personality and lifestyle for him and in many ways Mike, like Romero and Jake, accept Brett for who she is.

Brett Ashley was, in her time, an extraordinary woman willing to break the mould and pave the way for women to become more independent in the future. Although never achieving true satisfaction or happiness for herself, Brett acts on her own convictions and purely…...

Lady Brett's life is ultimately empty and unfulfilling no matter how many men she finds herself with, but she "can't go anywhere alone" as Jake points out. Her lack of commitment to any one man can be seen as a representation of how the ar destroyed traditional ideas of love and romance. In the final lines of the novel, she muses on what a relationship between her and Jake could have been, but she is stopped by a policeman signaling the cab they are riding in to stop. This moment sums up the sad state that Hemingway found the world when Jake says, "Isn't it pretty to think so?"
Robert Cohn can be seen as the old values in a new post-ar world. He is the only non-veteran among the characters presented in the book, and therefore he has retained his sense of dignity, romance, and morality. The problem is…...

Jake Barnes is a tragic figure, one that is struggling to come to terms with himself and the society in which he lives.
Jake is like the other characters in 'The Sun Also Rises' in that he is in a society that has changed and he is struggling to find his place in it. Like the other characters, he attempts to distract himself from his problems, by leading an outwardly fun lifestyle, fueled by alcohol.

Unlike the other characters he has a sign of the changes that cannot be ignored. A war injury means that he cannot have sexual relations. While he loves Brett and she loves him, they are unable to stay together because of his inability and so he must watch her have affairs with his friends. The struggle of this adds to his problems, with his injury a constant reminder that his place as a man is questionable.

" That is his hope for the future: to be able to make better sense of his suffering, and to manage to get what enjoyment he can from life
Jake's present philosophy, as these paragraphs imply, has to do with both "paying for everything" and "getting something in exchange," depending on what, how and why one pays

Jake's philosophy of "paying" and "being paid" is a sexual metaphor that works for others, but not for him.

In terms of his relationship with Brett, Jake still "pays," as other men do, but can receive nothing, sexually, in return. Thus, Jake can neither "pay" nor "be paid" sexually, as other men (and women) can

Jake, however, still wants to learn "to live in" the world as he now finds it, including learning to live with his uncomfortable condition.

Jake hopes that his own personal endurance and determination will help him "learn... what it was all about," that…...

Wilentz admittedly and explicitly applies a quasi-feminist reading to the novel by examining religion -- specifically, Judaism as represented by the villainous Robert Cohn. his also ties in to how the novel was received in its era, according to Wilentz's argument. She asserts that Hemingway meant to indict the Jewish race through this character, and that it is impossible to come way from the novel disliking Cohn without being slightly anti-Semitic. Much of this wrok, especially the rationale for such a reading, seems unnecessarily paranoid and unwarranted, though the biographical details Wilentz provides about Hemingway do make such a reading more plausible. All in all, however, this source seems rather too far -- fetched.

The feminist perspective Elliott applies to the novel examines the concept of masculinity in the novel, specifically as it pertains to the narrator Jake Barnes. Elliott opens with a general overview of Hemingway's treatment of gender and sexuality in his full body of works, specifically in the time period that the Sun Also Rises was created in. After this cursory examination regarding the interchangeability of gender apparent with many of Hemingway's characters, Elliott narrows his focus to Barnes and the affects his genital wound had on his gender and sexual identity. Almost everything becomes evidence for many different interpretations of Barnes' masculinity, and Elliott does not provide very compelling arguments for any specific interpretation. Though full of examples, this article lacks a specific focus.

Thomas Strychacz. "Dramatizations of Manhood in Hemingway's in Our Time and the Sun Also Rises." American Literature, Vol. 61, No. 2 (May, 1989), pp. 245-260.

Strychacz takes a markedly different view of gender in the novel, viewing much of Barnes' and other male characters' personas as representations of the over-macho male that Hemingway either idolized or parodied, depending on the reading. The frustration with this piece is that Strychacz refers to too many works in too many disparate ways to settle on one interpretation of Hemingway's treatment of the mach male. It is hard to tell even whether Strychacz is in the parody or idolize camp. The piece is exhaustively researched, with many interesting observations but no discernable conclusion.

These characters live in a vacuum of values which does not allow them to experience personal fulfillment. Society as a whole has lost its innocence thus these characters become its best representatives. To a large extent, the Biblical quotation that the novel opens with, "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth forever" (Ecclesiastes 1:4) best explains the connection between characters and title in the sense that it expresses the constant renewal of the search for meaning that occurs with each new generation.

Great Expectations" & "The Sun also ises," one may concur that both narrators are on opposites ends of the spectrum when comparing their reliability. In Great Expectations the main, character Pip is the narrator. Pip is considered a reliable source in the novel, on the other hand in " the Sun Also ises" the narrator Jake Barnes is not viewed as a reliable source, there are scenes in the reading where it appears that one is not given all necessary information, as if to put the narrator in a better light in the reading overall. One main difference in the story detail is in the form of speech. Another correlation between the two books is the dramatic depictions of scenes and emotions throughout the readings.

Great Gatsby And Sun Also Rises
Both F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises depict the American psyche in the aftermath of the First World War. Although The Sun Also Rises is set in Europe, many of its main characters are American expatriates who seek fulfillment unsuccessfully through partying and sexual affairs. Similarly, the characters in The Great Gatsby seek stimulation through romantic relationships but also through the accumulation and display of great amounts of wealth. In both novels, the pursuit of pleasure is mitigated by a haunting emptiness. The marriages and romantic relationships in both The Great Gatsby and the Sun Also Rises fail to offer true intimacy, while infidelity underscores the illusions of love. Although most of the characters in these 20th century novels sincerely seek for wholeness and fulfillment through romance, excitement, or wealth, none emerges satisfied. Therefore, The Great Gatsby and…...

references when there is a contingency change. The relative response strength is changed by differential reinforcement of alternative courses of action. It is then that behaviors change. It is possible to conclude that adult students' observations about educational technology will change when the contingencies toward participation are strengthened. The clientele of higher education, its students, now enroll in college with expectations of learning about and to learn with technology (Green 1999).

How students deal with change and their ability to accept it has much to do with their observed satisfaction of the course that implements the most up-to-date technologies.

Merriam and Caffarella (1991) say that the more that is known about adult learners and the changes they go through and how these changes motivate and interact with learning, the better educators will be able to develop learning experiences that respond and stimulate development. This is an essential factor in adult learning and requires additional research regarding the implications for quality educational programs. This present research acknowledges the influence of the adult learners' attitudes and observations toward change. However, so that the emphasis remains on learning styles, no data will be collected to measure change in attitudes and perspectives.

Tools for Measuring Distance Education Courses

It is essential that there is an evaluation of educational curricula to determine what is and is not efficient in relationship to learning style. Technological courses have altered the evaluation process due to the additional factors of equipment, cost and knowledge of using technology. It is critical to keep in mind, however, that educators control technology, since technology is only one of many different tools. Technology is easy to assess; one knows immediately if an software does not work. It is necessary for instructors to spend more time considering the educational experience that they want to create and what is not working properly in terms of education results. Are students interested and engaged? Are they communicating with one another? Do they find the information challenging and productive? Are they receiving enough feedback from the instructor? Ultimately, an effective evaluation tool will help the teacher recognize if the conditions for quality learning are present or need improving and that the instructors and students feel their use of technology was considerably helpful.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes
The interaction of human beings and the natural world has always been one of conflict because of the inhumane way that people can behave. Animal have been used by human beings as pets, as entertainment, and in the course of scientific research. Fictional depictions of this interaction have reflected the nature of this relationship between man and animal. Some people value animal research as a means of curing human ailments and others decry it as animal cruelty. This is not a clear cut issue, but rather one of many different viewpoints. This document will show various attitudes toward these interactions; the positive aspects of animal testing, the negative attitudes towards testing, and finally how both these attitudes are fitted into the context of the film Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a film which shows exactly how society feels about this complicated issue.

China, a Growing Threat in Southeast Asia?

The appearance or reality of peace, stability and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region in the 1990s may be drawn from the popular compliance of the countries to the provisions of an agreement (Shuja 1999). This was the Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT, signed in 1968 and becoming effective in 1970, by the countries or States. Their number increased to 176. They agreed to give up the use of nuclear power for military purposes. Africa, Argentina, razil, Romania and Algeria were examples of such countries. ut this image of peace and unity in the region was shattered and vanished when India and Pakistan conducted nuclear tests in May 1998. India and Pakistan had a long-time feud and the tests sent the message to the rest in the region that the protagonists could be preparing for a nuclear…...

Earth evolves Around the Sun
Is this idea/theory/episode/question an example of scientific activity? Why or why not?

It's important to bear in mind that the philosophers of hundreds of years ago didn't always believe that the Earth revolved around the sun. Many of these thinkers believed that the sun revolved around the Earth and that the Earth was the center of the universe -- with the sun and all the stars and planets revolving around it. However, the complicated movement of the sun made this a very difficult theory to support. "The Sun, however, does not merely rise in the east and set in the west. You can see for yourself that the Sun only rises directly in the east on the equinoxes: at all other times of the year, it rises in the northeast (summer) or southeast (winter). Also, the Sun moves with respect to the stars: the Sun wanders…...

A slave was similar to a paid servant. The children of the poor people could be sold as slaves, but it was usually for a determined period of time. The slaves had the right to buy their freedom.
War was a very important activity, because of their conquering ambition and also for religious reasons. Mexicas believed that the gods had sacrificed themselves for the people and their blood had given them life. They thought that the sun lived on blood from human hearts so the purpose of human blood was to feed the sun gods and ensure their continuity and the preserving of life. The sacrifice of animals and humans was part of Aztec religion. To warriors it was the maximum honor to be killed in battle or volunteer for a sacrifice. One main reason to make war on other tribes was to capture prisoners for sacrifice.

## The Significance of Language and Imagery in Shaping Literary Arguments

Language and imagery serve as fundamental tools for authors to construct and convey their arguments in literary works, profoundly influencing their effectiveness. By harnessing the evocative power of words, authors can create vivid sensory experiences, elicit emotions, and forge indelible connections with their readers.
