| Stephen's Relationship With Religion in Joyce's 'Portrait of an Artist As a Young Man' |
|
|
Stephen Dedalus is a young man lost in the world; he spends the majority of his life in religious schools, divorced and detached from his family and his parents. The heads of the schools, the Fathers, become his real fathers. When in college, he remembers not his family but "Father Arnell... at Clongowes", and his soul becomes "again a child's soul" (116).

| Da Vinci Code Revisited, Part 2: The Espouse of Jesus |
|
|
For Dan Brown, who caused the millions of those who read his novel Da Vinci Code, to raise eyebrows, or chuckle, or pull the book closer for a better view, Jesus' espouse was Mary Magdalene. I disagree to some degree, because for me, Jesus having a espouse was a potential possibility. Everyone knows that He didn't marry. He couldn't marry. However, had He been given a chance to live longer beyond his age of 33, He could have married and had children. Biblical Scriptures have much to offer as bas...

| From Adulteress to Bombshell: The Continuing Relevance of The Crucible and The Scarlet Letter |
|
|
It bears repeating that history repeats itself. Although Arthur Miller's The Crucible is about the Salem Witch Trials in 17th century New England, it is also a biting satire of McCarthyism in the 1950s. Just as colonists tried to save their own skin by accusing community members of witchcraft, American citizens, who were blacklisted as Communists in the late 40s and 50s, accused others in order to save their own reputations.

| Life Is Not Futile If You Are Not Macbeth: You Have More Than One Chance on the SAT |
|
|
Although Macbeth is not exactly an idol for the ages, given that he committed murder in a crazed pursuit of power, he certainly does have some notable words to impart through the illustrious voice of Shakespeare. Catch this monologue: To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

| BOOK REVIEW: THE PEARL by John Steinbeck |
|
|
John Steinbeck (1902-1968) is one of America's greatest writers and is a Nobel Prize winner for Literature in 1962. I must confess, though, that this is the first time I read a book by him, all thanks to Jzhun who kept on raving about how wonderful a writer John Steinbeck is. I bought my copy of this book for only Php17.00 from Booksale, but certainly this book is worth a thousand more than its price.

| Classics Like Romeo and Juliet Adapted for the Screen and the New Great Gatsby Movie and Its Setting |
|
|
Classics like Romeo and Juliet being made into movies and the new Great Gatsby movie and what is appealing to a filmmaker about the book's setting. A classic that hasn't been adapted is as common as a film version of the SAT.

| A Digital Brave New World That Needs a Dose of Romeo and Juliet |
|
|
Aldous Huxley wrote a treatise in 1958 that explicated how his dystopian vision in Brave New World was coming true. If Huxley felt like that then, imagine what he would say about the world now. The hyper-mediation of computer technology has led to a digitized existence; iPads and iPhones have taken over communication, resulting in much less face-to-face interaction.
