Gitangeli Sapra "I'm Happy with an Arranged Marriage"
There are several differences in author Gitangeli Sapra's vision of the process of choosing a mate for an arranged marriage and my own approach to doing the same thing. In her essay entitled "I'm Happy with an Arranged Marriage," Sapra provides what largely functions as a point by point comparison between arranged marriages and those in which the initial impetus for marriage was largely the product of both people deciding to get married. My own perspective on the subject is certainly at variance with the one provided by Sapra, and is based on consent on the part of both parties. After considering my viewpoint with that of Sapra, I believe that mine is superior.
In the form of arranged marriages that Supra advocates, there is little opportunity for the prospective husband and wife to get to know one another prior to their union. Marriages are largely the basis of reason and logic (and of familial politics, which should purportedly 'work out' both on paper and in real life). The following quotation demonstrates the fact that couples in arranged marriages have few chances to learn about each other prior to their marriage....
"Number three did not open his mouth, his mother talked for him. I never actually saw prospective husband number eight: his mother preferred that I keep my gaze averted, Bollywood style" (Sapra 288). This passage indicates that in Supra's vision, women are not allowed to look at the person that they are supposed to spend the rest of their life with, nor even hear the sound of their voices. However, I believe that for a union to have any sort of significance, one must like looking at the other person, as well as like the sound of their voices and the things that they say. Looks and conversation help to determine the sort of chemistry that can lead to truly lasting value. Supra's method forsakes the chemistry between couples. My method values chemistry highly.
One of the supposed benefits of Supra's method for getting married by a formal arrangement is that these marriages tend to last longer. Perhaps she sees something positive about situations in which one or both of the parties is unhappy in a marriage, and the same cultural norms that advocate an arranged marriage also do not permit divorces. Regardless, the author notes in her article that "Even if Western middle…
Wallace says, "If we consider the number of perspective problems attendant to painting on the curved and irregular surfaces of the vault, it is reasonable that Michelangelo entrusted some of the architectural painting to Aristotile, thereby fostering what became one of the latter's foremost talents" (327). Wallace also provides additional arguments regarding other assistants who stayed to help Michelangelo, as well. Since there is presently no way to go back
Richards, Reverend, former member of the senior staff of the Episcopal Bishop, also expressed concerns regarding Nouwen. Richards questioned whether Nouwen as the "wounded healer" encouraged "a kind of displayed vulnerability and a disincentive to growth that does not serve the priest or the church well." In the final years of his life, Nouwen, admitted publically that he was a homosexual and "ministered" to others, not out of his strengths,
Shortly after taking charge of the project, Michelangelo viewed Sangallo's wooden model of the planned basilica. He was accompanied by Sangallo's followers who, according to Vasari, Putting the best face on the matter, came forward and said how glad they were that the work had been given to him and that the model was a meadow that would always afford inexhaustible pasture, to which Michelangelo replied that they spoke truly, meaning,
" You figure, Williams explained to the author, you don't like what's happening at home in Chicago, and now in the U.S. Marines "...you finally get a chance to get away." Those were Williams' reasons for joining the military and participating in the Vietnam War as an African-American youth. Indeed Williams saw the military as not just an escape, but as "a form of incarceration" - but the war might
Those with issues to overcome are always more heroic. Hector also becomes a hero when, after at first running from Achilles, he eventually stands up to him and dies a heroic death. The Iliad is primarily a war epic. In your opinion, is the Iliad condemnation of the it could easily be argued that the Illiad glorifies war, as much of the poem is spent portraying the warriors as brave
George Eliot Kristeva's philosophy can be applied to nearly every narrative especially in association with the body as a universal source of human language. In every narrative there are traces of description that help the reader understand the universal stance of the body, be it a description of a facial expression or the full description of a character based upon the description of his or her appearance. Eliot makes clear through
