THE COMPARISONS BETWEEN CAN-CAN BY ARTURO VIVANTE AND THE STORY OF AN HOUR BY KATE CHOPIN


This paper will talk about the comparisons between two short stories. According to Oxford dictionary comparison is the process of comparing two or more people or thing. In here I will compare the two short stories entitled Can-Can and The Story of an Hour. I find many similarities and the differences in this story such us: in tone, the theme, the point of view, the theme, the setting, the internal conflict and the characterization.

First, I will start from the tone. Based on the Oxford dictionary, tone is the general characters or attitude of something such us a piece of writing. In my opinion both of the stories have irony tone. Irony means the amusing or strange aspect of a situation that is very different from what you expect. For more details, I will show you the ironic part of the stories.

Political Life in Britain


The Politics of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland takes place in the framework of a constitutional monarchy in which the Monarch is head of state and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the head of government. The government exercises executive power. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of Parliament, the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
Since the 1920s, the two largest political parties in British politics have been the Labour Party and Conservative Party. This system of government, known as the Westminster system, has been adopted by other countries as well, such as Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and Jamaica, countries that made up part of the British Empire. In this case, we will talk about the Political Life, the public attitude to politics, the style of democracy, the style of politics, the party system, and the modern situation at Britain.

Aesthetics


The art of the ancient Greeks and Romans is called classical art. This name is used also to describe later periods in which artists looked for their inspiration to this ancient style. The Romans learned sculpture and painting largely from the Greeks and helped to transmit Greek art to later ages. Classical art owes its lasting influence to its simplicity and reasonableness, its humanity, and its sheer beauty.
The first and greatest period of classical art began in Greece about the middle of the 5th century BC. By that time Greek sculptors had solved many of the problems that faced artists in the early archaic period. They had learned to represent the human form naturally and easily, in action or at rest. They were interested chiefly in portraying gods, however. They thought of their gods as people, but grander and more beautiful than any human being. They tried, therefore, to portray ideal beauty rather than any particular person. Their best sculptures achieved almost godlike perfection in their calm, ordered beauty.
