  • Judith Wright

    Judith Wright

    stract Poetic images retain the flesh and aroma of experience; memorable images dramatise movements to identity, empowerment and the righting of wrongs. Judith Wright uses metaphors of the bud, flame tree growth, compass heart, ageless crimson rose, rising sap, implacable heart, and “lovers who share one mind” to express human and cosmic yearning for fufillment or salvation. In her poems we hear the great mystery of life in the dynamic interdependence of waterfall, tree ferns

  • Realism and the War on Terror

    Realism and the War on Terror

    Realist thought on international relations fit comfortably within the context of the great wars of the twentieth century. Powerful nations possessing massive military forces took aim at one another to affect the hierarchical structure of the international system for the good of their own security and power. These wars, however, differ greatly from today's unconventional war on terrorism. Therefore, the realist theories of yesterday, while still useful, require at least some tweaking to fit the

    Mother to Son of Langston Hughes

    “MOTHER TO SON” OF LANGSTON HUGHES “Mother to Son” of Langston Hughes is my favorite.

Many writers began to switch to realism and naturalism from romanticism because of world events and to make a change.
