Some people say you can only understand the present by knowing about the past. After all, it’s how we got from A-Z.

“Justice is tolerated not as a good, but as the lesser evil, and honoured by reason of the inability of men to do injustice. For no man who is worthy to be called a man would ever submit to such an agreement if he were able to resist; he would be mad if he did. Such is the received account, Socrates, of the nature and origin of justice.” (The Republic, Book II)

I have recently come across an article in Russia about the long-suffering book ‘Lolita’ (1955) by the Russian-American novelist, poet, and translator, Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977). The long-suffering epithet assigned to the book is not mine though. It is Vladimir Nabokov himself who said so, as he was witnessing criticism of his book. The book was published in 1955 by Paris based Olympia Press, specialising in erotic and avant-gard literature. The fact that did very little good to the book, apart, of course, from making it popular.

Debabrata MohantaPublished 3 years ago in EducationAdela Strangeworth | The Possibility Of Evil Short Story
A concept that deserves more context is how “looks are deceiving” or how you should “never judge a book by its cover.” It is not rare to encounter individuals with two-faced personalities who make themselves seem different then what they truly are from the inside. Shirley Jackson, the author of the short story ‘The Possibility of Evil,’ brings a more detailed perspective emphasizing how there is a possibility of evil in everyone – even if they look or seem innocent and charming. Shirley Jackson accentuates this through the main character of the story, Miss Adela Strangeworth. Some character traits Miss Strangeworth had that placed prominence on her duplicitous personality were self-consciousness, carefulness, and her sanctimony. Miss Strangeworth was always very self-conscious about herself and the letters she wrote to others. “She was fond of doing things exactly right. When she made a mistake, as sometimes she did, she took the page to the kitchen stove and burned it at once.” (Jackson 225-226) With this reference is it easy to realize that Miss Strangeworth loathed her failures and was wrapped in self-denial. Hence when she made a mistake, she would get rid of the evidence as immediately as she could. Since she had to mail the letters to different citizens, she needed for them to not include any sort of faults. Along with being self-conscious about her existence, Miss Strangeworth was also very careful. “she had always made a point of mailing her letters very secretly. Consequently, she timed her walk so she could reach the post office just as darkness was starting to dim the outlines of the trees and the shapes of peoples’ faces.” (227) Since Miss Strangeworth had always made sure that she mailed her letters very secretly, she would time her walk so she could reach the post office just when darkness started to arise, and people started to vanish inside their homes. This really accurately illustrates how Miss Strangeworth was very careful. As obviously clarified, Miss Strangeworth tried to avoid being recognized by arriving at the post office when it was nighttime. Since the word ‘secretly’ was being used, it is clear to the reader that Miss Strangeworth was very careful with keeping her faulty letters a secret.
justalilpeachyPublished 3 years ago in EducationThe Lord of The Flies | literally every 10th grade novel study ever.
Civilization portrays the uttermost established form of mankind existing in this rigid society; without it, mankind reverts to the more primitive and uncivilized part of their nature. This concept of human nature was emphasized greatly in William Golding’s novel, “The Lord of The Flies.” This novel highlights the different events a group of boys experience while stranded on an island. They develop rules and systems of organization, but without any civilized adults to guide them, the boys eventually become violent, and start to portray uncivilization . Golding draws prominence to this concept by using literary tools such as the symbolism of the conch shell and how it relates to one of the first acts of civilization, a detailed characterization to explain Jack’s need for civilization, and the use of masks or painted faces as another form of symbolism and how they relate to the need for civilization.
