			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of the tragedies written by Shakespeare are revenge and ambition tragedies. For instance, Othello, Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth are the dark tragedies showing revenge and ambition. However, there is an exception to this in the form of a romantic tragedy, rather the only romantic tragedy written by Shakespeare and that is Romeo and Juliet. Unlike the revenge/ambition tragedy, there are two tragic characters in Romeo and Juliet. Romeo becomes impulsive and acts without thinking about the consequences which brings in the separation and ultimately the death of the two lovers. Coming back to the revenge/ambition tragedies, there are some noticeable features which are dealt within the following part.</p>
<p>Tragic/Fatal Flaw</p>
<p>O farewell,<br />
Farewell the neighing steed, and the shrill trump,<br />
The spirit-stirring drum, th&#8217; ear-piercing fife;<br />
The royal banner, and all quality,<br />
Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!<br />
And O you mortal engines, whose rude throats<br />
Th&#8217; immortal Jove&#8217;s dread clamors counterfeit,<br />
Farewell! Othello&#8217;s occupation&#8217;s gone. &#8211; Othello</p>
<p>A &#8216;tragic flaw&#8217;, by definition, is a personality trait that leads to the downfall of the protagonist. It can also be a wrong action performed by the protagonist that results in his own ruin. It is the most important element in the tragedy and almost every hero/heroine of a Shakespearean tragedy possesses a tragic flaw. Examples of tragic flaw in Shakespearean tragedy are: Macbeth&#8217;s obsession with power, Othello&#8217;s jealousy and Hamlet&#8217;s indecisiveness.</p>
<p>Supernatural Elements</p>
<p>By the pricking of my thumbs,<br />
Something wicked this way comes. [Knocking]<br />
Open locks,<br />
Whoever knocks! &#8211; Macbeth<span id="more-641"></span></p>
<p>Use of super-natural elements is a common characteristic of the Elizabethan drama, to which Shakespeare&#8217;s plays are no exception. The supernatural powers contribute to the fate of the protagonist. However, they are not solely responsible for the downfall of the hero, it still lies in the deeds/actions of the hero. Usually, these actions are the outcome of the protagonist&#8217;s over-ambitious nature (as in Macbeth where he wants to become the king) or the feeling of revenge. Furthermore, they are not the illusions in the mind of the hero because they contribute to the action of the play with their presence in more than one or two scenes. The effective use of witches in Shakespeare&#8217;s plays reflects the old society beliefs in the evil powers who practice evil rites to affect the central character(s). For instance, in Macbeth, when Macbeth encounters the three witches, he starts believing whatever they say without any doubt in mind of their existence. This is what the old society belief in the evil spirits reflected in Shakespeare&#8217;s tragedy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During his early career, Eliade was a prominent journalist and essayist. He was a follower of the far-right journalist and philosopher named Nae Ionescu; he was a member of the &#8220;Criterion&#8221; literary society. He also had the position of cultural attaché to Portugal and UK. During the 1930s, Eliade often expressed his sympathy towards a Romanian fascist and anti-Semitic political organization called &#8220;The Iron Guard.&#8221; These early political involvements became the subject of criticism towards Eliade after the 2nd World War. Despite his controversial early-life political views, Eliade was and still is highly appreciated all over the world due to his vast erudition, fine intelligence and deepness of spirit. Eliade knew very well 5 languages &#8211; Romanian, English, French, Italian and German. He could also read in Hebrew, Persian and Sanskrit.</p>
<p>His prodigious memory enabled him to acquire such impressive amount of knowledge. But his memory also helped him remember many childhood episodes that he referred to in some of his writings. Here is a quotation of his referring to such unusual childhood episode: &#8220;I practiced for many years [the] exercise of recapturing that epiphanic moment, and I would always find again the same plenitude. I would slip into it as into a fragment of time devoid of duration &#8211; without beginning, middle, or end. During my last years of lycée, when I struggled with profound attacks of melancholy, I still succeeded at times in returning to the golden green light of that afternoon. [...] But even though the beatitude was the same, it was now impossible to bear because it aggravated my sadness too much. By this time I knew the world to which the drawing room belonged [...] was a world forever lost.&#8221; Indeed, this understanding of the impossibility to return to the childhood and adolescent state of mind and experience might have inspired his myth of Eternal Return.</p>
<p>When the Communist regime began to show signs of taking hold of Romania, Eliade decided not to return to his native country. Thus, in 1945, he moved to France also taking his adopted daughter Giza there. Arrived there, Eliade came again into contact with Dumézil, who enabled him to recover his academic position. Following Dumézil&#8217;s recommendation, Eliade began teaching at the École Pratique des Hautes Études (Practical School of High-Studies) in Paris. At that time, he is said to work even 15 hours per day. In France, Eliade married the second time to Cristinel Cotescu, a Romanian exile. There in France Eliade rallied with some Romanian expatriates including Emil Cioran and Alexandru Busuioceanu, who helped him publicize his anti-communist point of view to the eyes of the Western European readers. Eliade also got briefly involved in the publication of &#8220;Luceafarul&#8221; (&#8220;The Morning Star&#8221;), a magazine written in the Romanian language.<span id="more-639"></span></p>
<p>As a historian of religions, M. Eliade laid his accent on the concept of sacred time and space. The sacred space is, in Eliade’s vision, the center of the universe while the sacred time is a repetition of the elements from the origins of the world, the world being considered the &#8220;horizon&#8221; of a certain religious group.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did your teen fawn over Twilight? Did she read that entire brick of a book in one night? This could be because she loves the idea of vampires, but it is more likely because it is a compelling romance. Romance novels for teens are a huge hit because so many of them are just trying out their first romances and they want to know how it’s done. Plus, many of these couples in young adult romance novels face situations that just aren’t fair and that keep them apart unnecessarily, and young adult readers tend to really respond to those themes. If your student devours romance novels, some titles to consider are the Perfect Chemistry books by Simone Elkeles, Forget You by Jennifer Echols, and The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen.</p>
<p>Science Fiction/Fantasy</p>
<p>If your teenager grew up with Harry Potter, there’s a good chance, he or she is mourning the end of the series as well as the final movie that came out this year. Rather than read the whole series again, there are some great science fiction and fantasy novels out there that will have your students taken away to a new world in no time. The best thing about science fiction and fantasy novels is that they usually come in series of multiple books, so it is really easy for your child to pick up the next book in the series when he or she is done with the first. Some books in this genre include The Dark Side of Nowhere by Neal Shusterman, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle, Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman, and Graceling by Kristin Cashore.</p>
<p>Memoirs<span id="more-637"></span></p>
<p>While not fiction, memoirs can provide the same character development and plot intrigue for young adults as fiction stories can with the added benefit of being totally true. Teenagers love a true story because they can know for sure that it actually happened at one point in time. Memoirs are true stories that read like fiction, rather than like a dry biography. Some great memoirs that grab students’ attention are A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer, Trouble In My Head: A Young Girl’s Fight with Depression by Mathilde Monaque, Freedom Children: Young Civil Rights Activists Tell Their Own Stories by Ellen Levine, and The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A poetry slam is an event during which several poets perform original poetry to an audience. These slam poets compete against each other for points, though there isn’t usually much of a prize to be won, and the judges are randomly selected audience members. In this way, slam poets need to be really good at crowd appeal. They can’t just get up to the stage and read a poem; rather, they must include a performance aspect to catch the audience’s attention. Props are not allowed in poetry slams, however, so the performance must be about the poet and the poem. Poems are sometimes sung, rapped, shouted, or whispered depending on the poet’s style and the tone of the poem. During a poetry slam, poets compete in three rounds. The first round is usually all-inclusive with as many as eight poets performing. The second round has four participants, and the final round has two. There are usually five randomly selected judges, and they score the poets between zero and ten. The lowest and highest score are dropped to give the poets each a score out of thirty. The highest scoring poets advance to the next round, in which they perform different poems than their first rounds.</p>
<p>How Poetry Slams Started?</p>
<p>In Chicago in 1984, Marc Smith started an open mic at the Get Me High lounge where poets started performing poems rather than just reading them. Despite the poetry community scoffing at the idea of poets performing rather than reading, this method gained popularity. Two years later, in 1986, the poetry slams moved to their current home at the Green Mill Jazz Club in Chicago. It didn’t take long for poetry slams to gain national attention; the first national poetry slam was held in 1990 &#8211; just four years later &#8211; in San Francisco. Since then, poetry slams have taken place across the country and around the world, and slam poets have been featured on HBO, in films and books, and in some English classrooms.</p>
<p>Responses to Poetry Slams</p>
<p>Academic poets and poetry teachers have had mixed responses to poetry slams. Some of them look down on the idea of performing poetry because, they believe, poems were meant to be written or simply read. Incorporating pop culture and hip-hop reduces the integrity of the poems, some say. Others truly enjoy this revitalization of the poetry community and are excited about the opportunity to use slam poetry to get young students interested in poetry when they might otherwise be unmotivated to study it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all know how hard it is to learn our lines, the lack of time given to memorize the lines, makes things more difficult for us. Here are some tips that you can use to make things easy for you.</p>
<p>Believe in Yourself<br />
Many people just lose their spirit if they find a long monologue in their script. They just develop a prejudice that the lines cannot be memorized by them, this hinders all their attempts to learn the lines. So, it is very important to have faith in your potential. Believe that you can achieve everything you want, if you try. The belief in your abilities will keep you motivated, even when you feel that it is impossible to learn your lines.</p>
<p>Character Key<br />
Before you start your attempts to memorize, you should try and understand your character in the play. Understand what the character demands from you, and comprehend the emotions that you need to portray. This will help you understand your lines better, which will help you memorize the lines quickly.</p>
<p>Loud and Clear<br />
When you rehearse your lines, make sure that you say the words aloud. When you do this, you are aiding your memory. Your pronunciations should be clear, and you are bound to realize the flaws in your pronunciation only when you say it loud. This technique will help your mind register the lines speedily.</p>
<p>Picture Perfect<br />
I agree that everyone does not have a photographic memory, but visualizing the scene when you are rehearsing at home, will surely make memorizing faster. In addition to this, you can use inanimate objects to represent other characters. You can also use pictures as a prompt when you practice, then eventually you will remember all your lines by just imagining the pictures in the appropriate sequence.</p>
<p>Mirror Magic<br />
Here is one of the oldest tricks to assist the pace of memorizing the lines; use a mirror! When you practice your lines, just look into the mirror (be loud and clear), this gives you a feeling that you have company, and will reduce the probability of getting bored quickly. Thus, you can maximize the time for practicing in a day, thereby reducing the days required to memorize the lines. Seeing yourself emote, can be quite amusing too!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Negative space is so called because it is the exact opposite of a balanced image, which may include a subject such as an illustration with a person and text, and a variety of other shapes. All the space around and among these items is negative space. It is against negative space that a positive space can show itself and have an impact on the viewer. Using negative space while maintaining a balance is a challenge for a graphic designer or even a photographer, and knowing how much negative space is enough is important for such creative professionals. So what does negative space do for a design? Let&#8217;s find out.</p>
<p>A Symbol of Extravagance<br />
Studies show that the use of negative space in a design gives an appearance of extravagance and sophistication. When you see a high-end moisturizer placed against a white or light background with only its container design being the colored element, don&#8217;t you want to just pick it up and use it? Doesn&#8217;t it give you a sense of luxury and try to tell you that only a selected few can afford it and use it? This is how powerful negative space is.</p>
<p>Free Flow<br />
Negative space also allows the viewer to view a design clearly. As it allows the design to stand out, a viewer is not obstructed by a multitude of elements to distract him, and the real object of focus remains the real object of focus. This makes a difference to the way a design is perceived and is largely appreciated by the consumer resulting in an eventual positive response.</p>
<p>Allows a Reader to Read<br />
In the context of web design, negative space does a great deal by allowing the reader to read the content on the website clearly. This is an aspect similar to that mentioned of free flow above. Increasing the amount of white space between lines of text tends to enhance a reader&#8217;s ability to read the page clearly. Expect people to come back for more if along with the design there is also great content for the reader.</p>

Felt is very easy to model or mold into different shapes. Felt finger puppets are about as easy to make as paper finger puppets &#8211; the advantage being they are more durable. Using cloth gives you the opportunity to stitch hands, legs, ears, and tails (in case of animal finger puppets) onto your finger puppet. They definitely add more dimension to your finger puppet than can be achieved in paper finger puppets. Stitching also means you can experiment with embroidering details onto the puppet. So your finger puppet bunny can well be clad in a dinner jacket!</p>
<p>Crochet Finger Puppet Pattern</p>
<p>If you are such a crochet enthusiast that everybody in the family already has a sweater or a pair of gloves or a muffler knit by you and you are running out of things to knit, you could branch out into making crochet finger puppets! There are many interesting crochet finger puppet patterns that you can try out. The best thing about crochet finger puppets is that they won&#8217;t break or tear easily &#8211; like paper finger puppets may. Plus you can wash them and keep them clean &#8211; since they are made of wool anyway! Crochet finger puppets however need a little more practice and patience than paper and felt finger puppets. You first need to master the art of crochet and then try making crochet finger puppets.</p>
<p>Accessorizing Your Finger Puppet<br />
1.Beads: Suitable beads in place of eyes can help you add a three-dimensional effect to the puppet and make it look more appealing and interesting. They can help you give a nerdy or geeky appearance to the puppet. You can even stick small glasses made out of wire onto the puppet to complete the look!<br />
2.Wood: The body of your puppet can be made of wood if you&#8217;d like. However, that can make the puppet a little stiff! It will restrict movement. Instead you can have just a wooden face. It will help you create the perfect expressionless guy! You can draw droopy half-closed eyes on the puppet and make it the monotonous or sleepy guy! The key here is the fact that you cannot add too many details because it is a wooden face.<br />
3.Spring or Wire: Small pieces of spring can be wrapped with wool to give your puppet noodle-hair! You can even use a bent wire to give your puppet dog a curved tail. Plastic wire pieces can add details like glasses to your puppet, as described earlier. Another interesting way to use spring in your finger puppet can be to make the entire puppet out of spring! Just wrap the spring around your finger and prop a head on top of the spring, and you can have a squiggly, bouncing finger puppet!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Definition&#8230;<br />
In an exploratory essay, you need to give in a lot of opinions and point of views, to explain and evaluate the subject chosen. The more opinions and point of views are included in an exploratory essay, the more complete and good it is considered. One peculiarity of exploratory essays is that you need to only investigate, inquire about and explore the chosen topic. You do not have to argue for or against the topic you are writing on. Due to this very reason, many people find writing an exploratory essay very difficult. On the brighter side, writing such an essay gives you full liberty to explore a topic, so if you want to gain an in depth knowledge on something, without getting biased about it, exploratory essays are your answer!</p>
<p>The Topic&#8230;<br />
To write an exploratory essay, the first thing that you need to do is to find a problem that you want to investigate. Ideally, it should be something that you are familiar with and feel strongly about, as only then you would be able to offer opinions and solutions on the same. Some of the possible topics for an exploratory essay can be &#8211; &#8220;Is large scale immigration good for United States?&#8221; &#8220;Low voter count&#8221;, &#8220;Racial Discrimination in United States&#8221;, &#8220;Economic Downturn&#8221;, etc. You need not always take topics of economic and political relevance though. Social topics can be explored with equal elan while writing an exploratory essay.</p>
<p>The Introduction&#8230;<br />
Unlike other types of essays, an exploratory essay does not have a thesis statement. It is written in such a way that the author&#8217;s thoughts and opinions on the subject at hand are presented throughout the essay to the readers. The introduction of an exploratory essay should be very interesting. It should bring forth the problem that is being investigated in the essay, in a very lucid, appealing manner, so much so that the readers feel compelled to read the entire essay!</p>
<p>The Body&#8230;<br />
During the course of the essay i.e. while writing the body, certain questions are raised with regards to the topic and the same are analyzed and answered, by the writer. The writer presents various solutions too, for the problem at hand and analyzes each one of them, till the conclusion of the essay, where the most viable ones are presented. Let&#8217;s take an example here. If the chosen topic is gender discrimination, the various ideas and solutions to combat the same, that can be explored in the essay are &#8211; Where does gender discrimination stem from? How to combat the same? (A) By spreading awareness and educating people on it.(B) By giving women equal opportunities in terms of education, experience and exposure, right from the childhood. Can gender discrimination ever be overcome? etc. Likewise, all such ideas are explored and looked into. Whatever solutions are suggested, their pros and cons are discussed in the body of the essay. You can even add some real life examples, while discussing each of the solutions. Creating hypothetical situations, wherein you write about what could possibly happen if a particular solution is opted for, will make the essay even more interesting.
