Repentance

 Through the scales of raw iron he did it Through the fallacies of sin he did it My rich King became poor  The sheer weight of sin tore his flesh And ripped open his skin and whipped him to agony They spat on him and capped him with a crown of thorns The righteous blood of the lamb Started flowing long before the first whip In the garden he was cornered by doubt And fear gripped his mind because the cup was bitter His sweat was tainted with blood and it became heavy The burden of the cross was now evident And the scares were about to become permanent The logos of God humbled in frail humanity To bring into your life Repentance God is after your heart girl boy woman man We have a heart issue full of sin and pride We are arrogant, boastful, and lustful and dread is our portion The sweet aroma of the cross nullifies our iniquities A heart of flesh through spiritual surgery A change of direction from idolatry to a Holy Covenant We start to grasp the mental construct of Gods plan from the b

The word ‘orature’ according to Ngugi was to denote imaginative works of the oral tradition usually referred to as “oral literature”. Mr Ngugi thought it would be wise to avoid suggesting that oral compositions belong to lesser or derivative category  (Oxford, 2020) .   The spoken word is definitely understood more than the written letters. They are produced to capture and bring alive the human mind, intention, emotion, opinion, view, experience and prediction among other things. Around the globe, orature sets the tune for written literature. However, the global world has diluted the potency of oral narratives in Africa. But there are still relevant pieces of orat

Write an essay of about 500 words in which you give a detailed description of the concepts and concerns raised by T.S. Eliot in his essay “Tradition and the Individual Talent,” and his theory of depersonalisation.

  T.S. Eliot was one of the most pivotal critics of his time. He was also a renowned poet, playwright and publisher (1888-1965). The combination of critic and writer grafts T.S. Eliot’s credo together, quite finely. His concepts and concerns raised in his critic of “Tradition and the Individual Talent” has been one of the most extraordinary and influential criticism of his entire works.   Eliot places great emphasis on the idea of tradition but rejects tradition that is ‘blind’ or conforms to a ‘timid adherence’ to successful compositions of the past. Such ‘tradition should be “positively” discouraged he critics. He says of Individual talent that he/she cannot stand alone without the predecessors; they complete one another in timeless fashion. He emphasis how the 20th century poets are meant to be the foundation of 21st century poets. Thus, individual talent is significant in isolation of newness in uniqueness amongst its predecessors and not only immediate, but earlier generations

What is Romanticism? Read the poem "Daffodils" by William Wordsworth and then explain the romantic elements of Nature in this poem.

    Romanticism according to many scholars lacks a definitive starting date, but many agree it began during the late 1700s. Romanticism has a strong core that disobeys clustered establishment and fortifies individualism. Poets like William Wordsworth certainly advocated for intellectual individuals to follow ideals instead of established conventions. During the romantic period individual liberty became a major theme and defined romanticism as the development of individualism and an embrace of the natural world in poetic form. Often, the lot of romantic poets like of the Victorian era with Wordsworth including William Blake revered idealism, emotional passion and mysticism in their works. Imagination was not lacking either in response to the neoclassic tradition a movement that favoured science and reason. In a unique manner, Romanticism also discards cultured language which it disdains and uses a much simpler vernacular simpleton language, that the ordinary folk can understand, due t

Does the value of Sons and Lovers depend wholly or mainly on the validity of the Oedipus complex? Discuss with close reference to the theory and the text.

  The Oedipal complex also better know n as the Oedipus complex was coined by Sigmund Freud in his theory of psychosexual stages of development to describe a male child’s attraction towards his maternal mother. Freud suggests that in the phallic stage of psychosexual development, the Oedipus complex plays an imperative role. The Oedipus complex “is a state which a person shows excessive affection for the parent opposite in sex to him or herself, and a equivalent aversion for his or her other parent.”  Paul Morel is fond of Mrs Morel- and ranges his affection beyond puberty, unpleasantly affecting the harmony of his relationship with other girls (Miriam), we may also describe him as a victim of the mother fixation.   The value of sons and lovers is dependant wholly or mainly on the validity of Oedipus complex from the foreword already. Here we learn that “Lawrence” is aware of the Oedipus Complex from his own personal life and is a major theme in the novel. Lawrence states that a m

In a well-considered essay of 350-450 words show how Madame Odintsova contradicts Bazarov’s nihilistic views in Fathers and Sons? Use ample examples from the text to strengthen your argument

  Nihilism is the belief that all values are redundant and that nothing can be known or communicated. Nihilism is Bazarov’s character and we see that he is very pessimistic, condescending, is a grand sceptic. People who are nihilistic to the core would rather believe in nothing, no loyalties, no purpose other than, perhaps, to destroy and God is no go area .   Madame Odintsova challenges Bazarov to an argument while they sat and chat. His ‘nihilistic’ temperament is already evident before the argument commences. He says of Madame Odintsov “Because, so far as I can tell, your temperament is one of the cold and lethargic order, whereas argument needs impulsiveness” pg 95. Which is quite narcissistic and premature as she darts back with a witty similar disapproval of his conclusion of her abilities , as she says “How have you contrived so quickly to appraise me?”. This is the first time she contradicts him and asks Katia to confirm how she is both exacting and impatient as well
