Show Dark The Netflix science fiction series Dark requires concentration among viewers to be intense to watch and to understand what goes on. It is more than just viewers who cannot speak German or understand what the show’s characters are saying, putting down their phones to read and follow the subtitles. The German-language series requires viewers’ concentration to avoid missing small details, hidden meanings, and things amidst all of the show’s mind-boggling insanity and meticulous plots. The series, whose premise about the small town of Winden, Germany, follows several families and primary characters finding their way through the secrets they harbor that span generations, among them the abduction and murder of young boys. It is a show whose plot includes many time travels, which, together with allusions to pop culture, music, history, and, as covered in this paper, mythology, and folklore, help viewers keep up with the storylines, genealogies, and concepts of time. The significant symbolism and subtle references to mythology and folklore in the series one of Dark add to the meaning of the tragedy in it. There…

Stylistic analysis on Toni Morrison: Commencement Address, Wellesley College, 2004 Smith (1992: 75) spoke succinctly to the concern about loss of intelligibility across varieties: ‘My response … is that for at least the last two hundred years there have been English-speaking people in some parts of the world who have (c) 2011 Hong Kong University Press. All Rights Reserved. not been intelligible to other English-speaking people in other parts of the world. It is a natural phenomenon when any language becomes so widespread.’ By adopting this commonsense and empirically arguable stance on the issue, Smith does away with recourse to emotional sorts of reactions to the spread of English. The reflexive cry ‘something must be done!’ is set aside in favour of a reasoned exploration. Holistic approaches to intelligibility are difficult to carry off: it becomes clear, as illustrated in the examples above, that there are various levels of language and of the perception of language at work in communicating with other speakers of English. Strevens’ proposal of separating accent from the other layers of language was a step in…

Analysis of a Poem In this poem, the theme expressed is that of the loneliness of a man who is surrounded by nature, yet cannot share his feelings or life with anyone. From the very onset, the audience can deduce that the presence of Li Po is filled with frustration and loneliness. “A cup of wine, under the flowering trees; I drink alone, for no friend, is near.” The moments described in these lines must have been those when the speaker felt the solitude and loneliness of his life.

Such an aspect of his life can also be connected with his love for wine and being a heavy drinker (Li and Waley 98). Analysis of the Poem There is a lot of figurative languages used in the poem.
