with the Colonials. Our numbers were decimated by diseases that were new to us, and the need for land by those arriving from Europe forced our larger family groups to flee. We hid along the swamps, marshes, bays and oceans of the Eastern Shores of Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. Historically, we were known also as the Kickotanks or the Great Assateagues Today, many of us try to live as traditionally as possible in this modern world. We believe, as our Ancestors did, that we must honor The Great

The Mezzotint (1904) by M.R. James The Mezzotint, written by M.R. James in 1904 is one of the many ghost stories the author is famous for. This short story is typical of the ghost story in many ways that we will develop, but with an originality that almost undermines the genre. The Mezzotint is constructed like so many ghost stories, with the apparition of a disruptive something that cannot be explained by the rational known rules that govern the world and the mind, and this apparition takes

country's greatest poet and the founder of modern Russian literature. Pushkin blended Old Slavonic with vernacular Russian into a rich, melodic language. He was the first to use everyday speech in his poetry. Pushkin's Romantic contemporaries were Byron (d. 1824) and Goethe (d. 1832), but his ironic attitude can be connected to the literature of the 18th century, especially to Voltaire. Pushkin wrote some 800 lyrics with a dozen narrative poems. "Love passed, the muse appeared, the weather of mind

By imposing an effort of seeing and hearing through the metaphor, the spectator learns again the way to himself

Discovered by Columbus in 1493, and named for his brother Bartolomeo, St. Barths was first settled in 1648 by French colonists from the nearby island of St. Kitts.     This original settlement was not a grand success, and, in 1651, the island was sold to the Knights of Malta.     Five years later, a raid by angry Carib Indians destroyed the settlement killing all the settlers. The victim's heads were placed on poles lining Lorient beach to discourage prowlers.     In 1763, the island was settled again

parents die. Jim and Jake Marpole, one of the Burdens' farm-hands, travel to Nebraska on the railroad together from the hills of Virginia. An immigrant family, the Shimerdas, is traveling to their destination as well. Like most other immigrants, the Shimerdas left their native Bohemia and moved to America for a better life. Like Jim, the Shimerdas have no one to turn to in a new, frightening place. Chapter 2 The next afternoon, at the farm, Jim’s grandmother, Mrs Burden, awakens him and prepares a

They are grinning cryptically. They are confused. They exhale. They are the readers of The Waste Land. They have heard much, know less and depending on their state of mind desire more or keep Eliot’s masterwork (so some have said) far away from their hands and eyes. Much has been written on The Waste Land and the old phrase “it has all been done before” rings some seriously loud bells. However, while many criticisms and analyses of Eliot’s poem have, in my opinion, hit home in a variety of ways
