within an overriding moral matrix‚ refuses explicitly to tell the reader what lesson s/he should draw from the text. Madame Bovary was a novel shocking to its contemporaries because it did not appear to articulate a clear and unambiguous moral viewpoint and it is because of the ambiguity of the novel’s moral stance that Madame Bovary found itself taken to court for its offence to public and religious morality. The challenge today’s readers are left with is how to make sense of Emma’s story. A common

RR Journal Brittany Clevenger C.Lewis T Th Heinrich Heine There are many poets out there that I enjoy reading. Heinrich Heine would have to be one of them. All of him poems are considered among the best in German literature. Not only do I consider his writings remarkable‚ he is thought this way by many. You can tell by his writings that his career is in the later Romantic Movement and the era of the socially and politically conscious movement. His writings as well as his exile from Germany

of Evil by Charles Baudelaire. In these poems‚ Baudelaire is attempting to find beauty in the most malignant and ugly aspects of life. The first section of the book entitled “Spleen and Ideal” defines the ugliness of death‚ disease‚ and other malignant aspects of life in the “spleen”‚ and the way that the “ideal” attempts to extract beauty from life through eroticism‚ drinking‚ and drug usage. These deviant ways of viewing life in France created a social outcry against Baudelaire‚ which exposed the

Room T he title of the book I am reading is The Reptile Room. The author is Lemony Snicket. The point of view is first person. The main idea of The Reptile Room is that the Baudelaire parents die in a house fire and the orphans are sent to live with a distant relative named Count Olaf‚ a terrible and greedy man. The Baudelaire parents had left behind an enormous fortune which will go to Violet‚ the oldest of the orphans when she turns eighteen. Count Olaf is so obsessed with getting his hands on the

on death. While Baudelaire focuses on what will be‚ Ghalib focuses on what could’ve been. In these poems both authors are encountering death from different perspectives. In A Carcass‚ Baudelaire stumbles across a decaying body. Baudelaire is dissociated with the deceased and because of that he comes off harsh almost to the point of being sarcastic. Ghalib‚ on the other hand‚ is writing about the loss of his son. Ghalib seems much more delicate to the thought of death than Baudelaire due to his relationship

The Slippery Slope‚ Lemony Snicket quotes the poem "Garden of Proserpine" and includes an illustration of two children riding a man-built wooden raft while one is trying to get on the raft. These two sources help justify my prediction that the Baudelaires are using the Stricken Stream to find their way to Hotel Denouement‚ which was claimed in the Snicket Files (a highly classified document with potentially dangerous information) to be the last safe place for members of the V.F.D.(a secret organization

The first subordinate conflict is finding Quigley Quagmire and meeting him at the last safe place. The conflict is in between the Baudelaire orphans and Count Olaf. This is the Baudelaire’s conflict. Another one is saving the youngest Baudelaire-Sunny from the poisonous Medusoid Mycelium. This is Sunny’s conflict
