Role of Time in Classical Literature:
Analysis of Three Classical Literary Works
The role of time in many classic literary pieces does much to convey its timelessness as well as its relevancy to the human condition. Dante's Divine Comedy (specifically The Inferno), Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel, and Hobbes' Leviathan, are clear examples of this. All three classic tales convey a narrative which seems to exist out of time, yet each take often uses allegory or symbolism in referring to specific periods in human history in order to contain relevance to the plight of the reader. Through making time oblique, the authors create a form, which allows them to illustrate the politics of their age as well as attach a timeless quality to their work, making their tales relevant to future generations.
Dante's Inferno is one such tale that combines the ambiguity of time with its occasional specific references. Many of the issues identified…...
All of these factors show that a young boy in the country and from a working class background stereotypically likes to hunt and fish.
In Moke and Poki Build a House, the main characters are the two friends, Moke and Poki. Moke and Poki are Menehunes, a group of legendary little people who live in the rainforests of Hawaii. Though they are fictional, Moke and Poki show many traits that are associated with native people from Hawaii or otherwise. Both characters are male, though it is difficult to tell if they are adults or children. There are no parental figures and no females. Moke and Poki's friends are all animals and none of them are described using female or male pronouns. Instead they are simply called Crayfish, Nene-goose, Dog, and Cricket (Funai, 1972).
Moke and poki are portrayed in the illustration as having darker skin and, because they are in Hawaii…...

David Lindsay-Abaire's play Rabbit Hole, which he adapted into a screenplay directed by John Cameron Mitchell, concerns a married couple coping with the death of their son, with complications brought in by the wife's sister and mother and ultimately by the teenager that killed young Danny with his car (though through no real fault of his own). Each of the characters in the play has their own way of dealing with Danny's death and how it has affected their future and their lives, but a part of each of their coping mechanisms involves a great deal of escapism, or pretending the world exists in a way that it does not. This is exemplified to varying degrees and in many different ways by each of the characters, and an investigation of four of these characters and the ways in which they go down their own…...

The author Russell Banks writes in the manner that infused his stories with a sadistic honesty and moral goodness that his characters strive to live up to. He writes in striking and most often sad tones about the drama of daily life (Anderson, eye net).
Furthermore, his themes of failure, of weakness, of the complexity of living an honest life were often desolating, but all his stories does contain a positive wisdom to them along with a sense of optimism found in the details that he carefully draws out of his characters' routine and everyday realities (Anderson, eye net). Hence, in my opinion no modern author writes more delicately about common man's uncertain search for the American grail of material ease and self-esteem than Russell Banks.

Bells' by Edgar Allen Poe. The poem revolves around different phases of human life and connects them to chiming of bells. 'The Bells' is considered a near-perfect example of a poetic device called onomatopoeia.
THE BELLS
The Bells' on first reading would appear to be a happy song, which talks about various stages of man's life and the significance of different sounds. But in-depth analysis reveals that this poem is actually more autobiographical in nature and though it does mention the four stages that man goes through, it is by no means a happy song. This brings us to the central idea of the poem. The poem chronicles four stages of man's life with first being the happiest yet shortest and last two being saddest yet longer. Man's childhood is the sunniest time of his life but it lasts for a brief period whereas maturity and near-death moments are saddest and…...

In short, the poem is about four important stages of man's life and highlights the difference between reality and perception.
Criminal Justice in Todays Society: Literature eviewIntroductionIn modern-day society, the criminal justice system has to address new scenarios and challenges, among them terrorism, growth in multicultural societies, increased migration, disruptions in demographics and age?composition, advancements in technology, and the effects of globalization. In todays community, criminal justice has to change with the change like crime. As society continues to change, it is obvious that criminal justice will have to change to remain effective and relevant (itter, 2006). The criminal justice system, and in particular laws, usually remains unchanged long after the customs that support it have fallen into disuse. Social change brings into existence new concepts of what is permissible or otherwise, but laws are often challenging to change and adapt to new concepts (The United Nations, 1979). This paper, therefore, is a literature review on the place of criminal justice in todays society, to situate the available literature on…...

CIMINAL JUSTICE TODAY Critical Analysis of the Literature eviewImportant Discoveries or Insights esearchers Have Made About the TopicThe most important discoveries or insights that researchers have made for the selected topic are that there changes have been made to the criminal justice system for not only punishing the wrongdoers but to prevent crime in the future. The key results in the literature review were that the criminal justice system is more rehabilitative, addresses racial equity so that equal justice is served to all ethnic minorities, believing in evidence-based findings and integration of technology.Various researchers have now pointed out that new crimes in current times are more advanced since the relationship between the offender and victim has changed (Matthews, 2020). The reason for saying so is that a new generation of offenders comes from a highly underprivileged class that does not have access to things they are deprived of but have…...

Literature eview: Community PolicingCordner\\\'s (2014) work in \\\"The Oxford Handbook of Police and Policing\\\" provides a foundational understanding of community policing. He defines community policing as a philosophy and practice that encourages proactive community engagement to address the causes of crime and societal issues. Cordner emphasizes the importance of resources in implementing community policing strategies effectively. He argues that adequate funding, personnel, and training are crucial for the success of community policing initiatives. This aligns with the thesis by showing how resource constraints can hinder the ability of law enforcement agencies to engage effectively in community policing practices. Cordner\\\'s analysis is particularly relevant to the research question as it supports the relationship between resource availability and the efficacy of community policing.Dubal\\\'s (2012) article provides a critical perspective on the challenges faced by community policing in the post-9/11 era, particularly focusing on the impact of federal surveillance programs.

¶ … Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906) wrote his 1913 poem "We Wear the Mask" in open defiance of the commonly accepted fallacy of his day that African-Americans were happy in the subservient roles they were forced to assume in the face of white racism. Dunbar, through the use of irony, through inverting the positive connotations of smiling, and through the religious rhetorical tropes of exclamation and crying out to God, conveys the cognitive dissonance between the false face African-Americans were forced to portray to earn a living in white society.
The title of Dunbar's and first lines of the poem may at first suggest a mask that an actor or a performer wears. "We wear the mask that grins and lies, / It hides our checks and shades our eyes." (Lines 1-2) However, the next lines of the poem suggest that the nature of the mask that is worn is far…...
Integrating Feminist Perspectives in Classic Literature Analysis
The incorporation of feminist perspectives into the analysis of classic literature offers a transformative lens through which to explore the power dynamics, gender roles, and social expectations prevalent within these literary works. By interrogating texts from a feminist standpoint, scholars can uncover hidden narratives and subvert traditional interpretations, leading to the development of compelling theses that challenge established norms and broaden our understanding of the human experience.
