The Bacchae                 Irony is the presentation of ideas in a way, opposite to the expectation of the audience. Literary motif on the other side is the use of repetitive narrative to reinforce the development of a particular theme. Irony and motif are used in The Bacchae to express the message of civilization and madness. Irony as a literary device involves the presentation of an idea in a way that is radically different from what would be expected under normal circumstances. The irony could either be dramatic, situational or in the form of similes. The dramatic and situational irony has a primary purpose of emphasis of truth that would otherwise not be conceived. The type of irony that uses similes like sarcasm involve deliberate use of language to state the opposite of the truth, understates facts, or even denies the truth.

However, it is against the expectation of Pentheus, that…

Distinguish between the following offences under the penal Code taking note of any ambiguities or overlaps Infanticide Killing of an unborn child Abortion related offences   Introduction These are offences found under division IV of the Penal Code which entail crimes relating to trespass of the person[1]. These offences include; murder and manslaughter. Since infanticide, killing of an unborn child and abortion deal with killing, they are therefore murder related offences. Ambiguities and overlaps come up because they all deal with killing and attempts to kill children. The underlying principle, however, is that these killings are unlawful and therefore have penalties such as life imprisonment or a jail term of up to 14 years.   Infanticide Infanticide, on the other hand, is where “a woman by any willful act or omission causes the death of her child being a child under the age of 12 months, but at the time of the act or omission the balance of her mind was disturbed by reason of her not fully recovered from the effects of giving birth to the child or by…

Call for Action: Cell Phones on the Road  When a cell phone rings in a meeting or a class, it attracts significant attention and irritation yet it does not endanger the lives of people. However, on the road, irresponsible use of cell phone puts people life at grave danger. Most often, we have seen drivers being distracted while the chat and converse on the phone while driving in a manner resembling drunk drivers, they weave between lanes or running down near pedestrian crosswalks. Drivers are impaired by cell phones hence the need to enact laws that can deter the use of cell phones by drivers. Phone use while driving is a proven form of distraction responsible for many preventable accidents on our roads. The available set of laws for reckless driving are lenient and insufficient to punish offenders. Only a few states prohibit the use of a handheld phone while driving by allowing drivers to use a hands-free system like Bluetooth to talk on the phone. Several other states and D.C have laws prohibiting the use of the cellular phone…

Historicism and Historical Materialism There exist a perceptible difference between historicism and historical materialism. However, these differences have been explored exponentially by different scholars with several critiques and philosophical explorative proofs. Generally, historicism is defined as the idea of characterizing expressive connotation to both space and time. For example, the historical period of a given phenomenon, exploration of a local culture, and geographical space. Precisely, it is a well-documented official history. On the other hand, historical materialism is a methodological approach focusing on human and social societies and also their historical development trajectory, which postulates that history results from material conditions instead of ideas. However, Benjamin takes a different path to challenge the above postulate by Karl Max, by rejecting the truth that history is an act of automation. To well exemplify his hypothesis, Benjamin uses the example of The Turk, an 18th century famously known chess-playing device, as a perfect analogy of historical materialism. The device was a set automation that had the ability to defeat skilled human players. It was in the form of a human-allegedly dwarf who…

Initial Response: The Niceties POSITIVES (+) The first positive moment can be located in act one, where Janine is conversing with Zoe and complements Zoe of having an excellent choice of words. Janine tells her that she had never had a student use the word “bedeviled.” It is her first time to see a student use the term. This statement of appreciation is a crucial positive moment for both the reader and Zoe, who responds by accepting the gratitude. The audience listening to the play can appreciate the change in tone and attitude in the play (Burgess, 2019).

The Role of the United Nations Forces in Congo, 1960 t0 1964 The United Nations operations in the Republic of Congo started in 1960 to 1964. These operations were initiated in response to a request by the Congolese Government to be offered military assistance to gain control of the rebellious army and restore order in the newly independent country. In response to this request, the United Nations Security Council authorized a peacekeeping force to address the civil unrest that followed after the Belgians gave the country its independence in 1960. The UN was originally mandated to help in removing Belgian troops and provide military support to the Government in Congo, and its actions were swiftly expanded. This is when the UN began fighting the Katanga troops who possed a threat to UN’s operations in the country. What ensued was a scuffled between the UN troops and Katanga forces which lasted until early 1963 when Katanga was fully reintegrated. By June 1964, all UN forces were withdrawn from Congo. This paper looks at the role of the United Nations in Congo…
