Gebraucht - Sehr gut SG - Ungelesenes Mängelexemplar mit leichten Lagerspuren, , Sofortversand - Intermediate Examination Paper from the year 2001 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2 (B), Martin Luther University (Institute for Anglistics/ American Studies), 9 entries in the bibliography, language: English, comment: Not a complete analysis, but specific parts are analyzed. , abstract: Edgar Allan Poe s The Raven 'was the poem that finally made him popular as it popped up in a number of magazines and newspapers' (Shucard, 1990: 120). This may be so, among other things, because of the extraordinary usage of refrain, alliteration, assonance and the complex structure of this poem. In this term paper I am going to concentrate on the structure of the poem. First I will give a general overview of the structure and then will give a more detailed appreciation of the poem. I have chosen two contrasting aspects which I will analyze in more detail: the contrast in the course of the conversation between the raven and the speaker and the contrast between heaven and hell. Then I will make a short sidestep to discuss the credibility of the raven. This is necessary for the confirmation of some elements of the contrast between heaven and hell. Finally I will examine the elements of and the ideas presented by lost love. The individual elements of this poem can not be separated totally from each other, as these said elements often overlap. Sometimes, I feel that it is not possible to discuss something in full detail in one part of this work, as the same elements appear later again in another context, where the discussion can assume new and different aspects.…

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2002 in the subject Romance Languages - Latin American Studies, grade: 2 (B), University College Cork (History), course: Spanish America, language: English, abstract: There were several reasons which caused the independence movement of the Latin American colonies. There was not only one reason but a whole development over decades and even centuries which led to the independent struggles. Therefore it would not be correct to start the explanation with the rebellions at the beginning of the nineteenth century but we must go back in history a great deal to find out about the backgrounds, about the reasons, why there was such a dissatisfaction, such an unhappiness in the Latin American population. There was a shutter reason but a lot of more or less small factors also played an important role. The mixture of the races led to the development of the mestizos, mulatos and zambos. The Spaniards who were born in the New World, the Creoles, were also seen as something different form Spaniards. There was constant tension between Spaniards and people who were born on the American continent. In fact the whole Spanish administration was undermined from the beginning, as the Creoles were not allowed to take part in it. The weakening of the Spanish Kings and the motherland in general also played an important role. 'The American and French revolution in the late 1700s helped to ignite a revolt against European colonial powers.'1 And finally the fact that at the beginning of the nineteenth century two different people (Joseph Bonaparte and Ferdinand VII) seemed to gave orders to the administration of the motherland and the colonies, which caused confusion and disagreement in South America. So the reaction on the restorment of Ferdinand as absolute monarch was not the only reason for the final rebellions at the beginning of the nineteenth century, but there were a lot of earlier tensions which by this time came to.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2,0, Martin Luther University (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: The American Constitution: Past and Present, language: English, abstract: From the beginning on Americans have proclaimed liberty, have fought wars in its name have evaluated events and institutions and politics in the light of liberty. They were convinced that they are free people and they always wanted to serve as a model for the rest of the world. Besides the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, ratified on the 17th of September 1787, is the fundamental document that symbolizes this freedom and that serves as a legal basis of the juridical system of the United States. This original document does not include speech freedom and freedom of the press, which are two of the most important liberties a free nation should have. The Bill of Rights that includes these liberties was added later, as amendments to the original document. However, the Constitution and its amendments serve as more or less strict guidelines, as the text is not unambiguous. It is difficult to interpret the twisted language of it and as I will show in this work, the opinions reach from one extreme to the other. Justices of the Supreme Court play a leading role in interpreting the Constitution, therefore a lot of juridical cases deal directly or indirectly with the interpretation of the Constitution and are a subject of this term paper. In this term paper I am going to show how the original Constitution was finally ratified, and how difficult it is to change this document. The aim of the Framers was to make the changing of the Constitution as challenging as possible. The difficulty of the amendment process is explained with the help of an example; The Equal Rights Amendment. After discussing the basis of the amendment process I will analyze how freedom of speech and freedom of the press has been interpreted since the ratification of the Bill of Rights. I will explain that speech freedom does not mean unlimited freedom of speech, and will introduce cases that step by step show how complete freedom of speech was allowed or how for example the 'clear and present danger test' and the 'bad tendency test' limited it. Then I will go into further detail and examine cases that deal with slander, libel and obscenity, expressions that are not protected by the First Amendment. Discussing the interpretation of Freedom of Speech is a wide topic and I was forced to leave out some aspects. Sedition, criminal conduct such as bribery, pre jury, or incitement to riot does not or only partly form part of this term paper.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2 (B), Martin Luther University (Anglistics/American Studies), course: Edgar Allan Poe, language: English, abstract: Edgar Allan Poe s 'The Pit and the Pendulum' was first published in The Gift: A Christmas and New Year's Present (1843) and revised for publication in The Broadway Journal of 17 May 1845. Although by this time the Spanish Inquisition was officially over, the American public was still interested in such topics.During the nineteenth century a fascination with death evolved. People were interested in gothic novels, were fascinated by horror stories, they loved tales that included elements of magic, supernatural and torture. This morbid fascination with death received its most intensive literary treatment at the hands of Edgar Allan Poe. In The Pit and the Pendulum Poe uses all the elements people were fond of: adventure, supernatural, horror, death, being helpless etc. He moves the sensibility of the reader and evokes a certain emotional reaction.In this term paper I am going to concentrate on how Poe achieved a certain effect with his story. First I will take a closer look at the prisoner s constant escapes, point out that most of these escapes are unbelievable and try to find out what the aim of his torturers might be. I will speculate on possibilities, what could have happened to the prisoner if he had made other choices during his stay in the dungeon. Then I will illustrate that there are certain parallels between a tomb and the dungeon in which the prisoner has to endure humiliation and agony, so the victim appears to be buried alive. Hope is the most important 'property' he has, it seems as if nobody could take it away from him, and with the help of hope he survives his stay in the dungeon. Whether the story is based on a real or on a dream experience is pointed out shortly. Finally I will present and analyze the symbols that can be found in the story. These symbols underlie and develop the aforementioned theories further, it seems as if the prisoner is not only buried alive in a tomb, but he seems to be in hell already.The individual elements of this short story can not be separated totally from each other, as these said elements often overlap. Sometimes, I feel, it is not possible to discuss something in full detail in one part of this work, as the same elements appear later again in another context, where the discussion can assume new and different aspects.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject American Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3 (A), Martin Luther University (Institute for Anglistics/American Studies), course: Rhetorical Analysis of Historical and Present-day Political Speeches, language: English, abstract: After the Japanese attack on the United States Navy base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States declared war on Japan. When Germany and Italy then declared war against the United States, World War II truly became worldwide. In his speech First War Address Before Congress, made on January 6, 1942 President Franklin D. Roosevelt mentions several things: past historical events that led to the present situation, the necessity of war-production, the attempt to justify war, the creation of a negative picture of the enemy and a positive picture of his own people and claims that only total victory over the enemy can end the war, to mention just a few.War rhetoric as such is part of the actual war, so its creation and development goes back quite a time in history as the human race has always made war upon each other. The first war message of the United States was the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Besides the common features of war rhetoric the Declaration of Independence and later United States war messages (up to today's messages by George W. Bush) also include specific American features. In this term paper I am going to show that by using the techniques of war rhetoric Franklin Delano Roosevelt creates an imaginary two-sided world. To emphasize the importance of this two-sided world-view and for an overview that will serve for the whole term paper I collected and arranged examples from the speech in two charts. After setting up the two sides I will go into further detail and examine this both sides in more detail: the creation of a negative picture of the enemy on the one side and the diminishing of one s own soldiers` actions by using euphemisms on the other side. The overall aim of war rhetoric is to justify the war and to unite the nation in order to defeat the enemy. This is the point where all the little details again meet and the parts of the speech unite into one basic concept.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Romanistik - Lateinamerikanische Sprachen, Literatur, Landeskunde, Note: 1,7, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg (Institut für Romanistik), Veranstaltung: Simón Bolívar, Emilio Zapata, 'Evita' - Heldenfiguren und Gründungsmythen in den Literaturen Lateinamerikas, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Mystifizierung Eva Peróns begann bereits während ihrer Lebenszeiten, wurde 1996, etwa vierzig Jahre nach Ihrem Tod, vom Regisseur Alan Parker in seinem Musical-Film 'Evita' neu belebt. In dieser Arbeit gehe ich von geschichtlichen Tatsachen aus: um Evita (und auch um Juan Perón) wurde ein Personenkult aufgebaut, sie wurde in einer breiten Schicht der Bevölkerung als Heldin gefeiert und als heilig angesehen. Von diesen geschichtlichen Tatsachen ausgehend, untersuche ich Evitas positive Darstellung und Mystifizierung in dem Musical- Film 'Evita'1.Nach einen kurzen Überblick über die Struktur des Films welcher auch zu der untersuchten Frage beiträgt, werden folgende Lieder in Betracht gezogen: 'A New Argentina', 'Don t Cry For Me Argentina', 'Rainbow High', 'Rainbow Tour' und 'And The Money Kept Rolling In (And Out)'. Die negative Darstellung und einige Kontraste zwischen den beiden Darstellungsarten werden zwar erwähnt aber aus Platzgründen nicht behandelt. Zum Schluß wird noch das Casting der Schauspieler angesprochen, und welche Auswirkung die Besetzung Evitas mit der Sängerin Madonna auf den Film hatte. Um meine Aussagen zu unterstützen und diese Arbeit abzurunden, habe ich als Sekundärliteratur Fachbücher über die geschichtlichen Ereignisse der Zeit, und Bücher über Filmanalyse herangezogen. Desweiteren zitiere ich aus den Interviews der Schauspieler, die sich in den 'Extras- The Making of Evita' der DVD 'Evita' befinden. Grundlagen zur Filmgeschichte und Filmanalyse, inclusive Fachbegriffe, die ich unter anderem in dem Kurs EN20036: SECOND YEAR FILM STUDIES: AMERICAN CINEMA AND GENRE an der University College Cork im Wintersemester 2001 bei Dr. Gwenda Young erworben habe, sowie Grundkenntnisse über die Geschichte Argentiniens im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert werden vorausgesetzt. Die englischsprachigen Kursmaterialien aus diesem Seminar werden in dieser Arbeit auch verwendet und die englischsprachigen Fachbegriffe benutzt.Es ist Fakt, daß in Filmen die wahren Ereignisse oft dramaturgisiert werden, dies ist bei 'Evita' auch der Fall, der Film ist nicht immer 'Geschichtlich korrekt', dies spielt in meiner Arbeit aber keine Rolle. Der Text des Musicals stammt von Tim Rice, basiert auf dem Buch von María Flores, bei Zitaten werde ich aber Alan Parker als Quelle angeben, da der Film als eine Einheit angesehen wird.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik - Literatur, Note: 1,6, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), 120 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist es, die Elemente der gothic tradition, oder auch gothic elements genannt, in Kurzprosawerken von Edgar Allan Poe zu untersuchen. Zunächst wird ein kurzer Überblick über den englischen Schauerroman, über seine Entstehungszeit und der Leserschaft gegeben. Dann werden die einzelnen gothic elements aufgezählt und kommentiert. Die sechs ausgewählten Erzählungen, Ligeia , The Fall of the House of Usher , The Tell- Tale Heart , The Black Cat , The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar und The Cask of Amontillado werden gemäß deren Erscheinung, in chronologischer Reihenfolge angeordnet und untersucht. Bei Ligeia , Poes Lieblingsgeschichte, wird zunächst der Schauplatz und dessen Auswirkung auf den Erzähler untersucht. Bei dieser Geschichte spielt je nach Interpretation - auch Inzucht, das Übernatürliche und die Seelenwanderung eine wichtige Rolle. Man kann diese short story aber auch als eine Art Krimi lesen, wo der Erzähler seine Frauen tötet. Eine weitere Interpretationsmöglichkeit erlaubt das Übernatürliche und die Seelenwanderung auszuschließen, denn nach dieser Deutung hat der opiumsüchtige Erzähler die seltsamen Ereignisse nur geträumt, es war eine Halluzination. Diese Möglichkeiten werden neben den unheimlichen Schauplatz und der Atmosphäre in Anbetracht gezogen und die daraus resultierenden gothic elements werden untersucht. Bei The Fall of the House of Usher gibt es genauso wie bei Ligeia mehrere Deutungsmöglichkeiten. Dementsprechend gibt es Elemente, die nur bei der jeweiligen Interpretation in der Geschichte zu finden sind. Der gruselige Schauplatz, die unheimliche Atmosphäre und die Angst der beiden Protagonisten sind die Grundbausteine der Erzählung. Hinzu kommt ein dunkles Familiengeheimnis, Familienkrankheit oder Familienfluch der Ushers. Inzest und die Möglichkeit, dass es sich bei der short story um eine Vampirgeschichte handelt, wird auch erläutert. In The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar steht der Tod und das Sterben im Mittelpunkt. Poe verbindet in dieser Erzählung die Wissenschaft mit dem Grauen. Daraus resultiert eine Gruselgeschichte, die seinerzeit viele Leser als Tatsache betrachteten. Die Hintergründe und der Effekt der Geschichte werden untersucht, denn falls die Leser dem Bericht glaubten, müssen die Ereignisse für diese gutgläubigen Leser noch unheimlicher erscheinen. Angst und Grauen sind die hauptsächlichen Elemente, die analysiert werden. …
