A MAN THAT I ADMIRE

A Man I Admire A man whom I admire is Khachatur Abovyan. K. Abovyan is one of the greatest Armenian classic writers; also, educator-democrat, teacher, ethnographer, and the founder of the modern Armenian literature and new literary language. He lived in XIX century. When I was a teenager, I didn’t like to read books. However, when I once read one of Abovyan’s books, I almost fell in love with it. The reason was because his style of writing was unusual for me. At the time when he lived, Armenian classic language was very common, but he preferred to write in spoken language to reach the masses, to reach his people. His style of writing really amazed me, and he reached my thoughts. Khachatur Amovyan was very educated person as his parents. He didn’t like illiteracy in people, so due to it he tried to help people. He opened schools in Armenia to educate children. He changed minds of youth Armenians. He put them on the right way of life. He worked hard to support children with their education. He tried to be closer to youth Armenians because they were his tomorrow. Abovyan was a writer-patriot. He loved his Fatherland very much. Also, he was politically a democrat. He did his best to do many good things for people. He didn’t think about himself and his family as much as he thought about his country and his people.
Khachatur Abovyan is a person whom I really admire and glad that Armenia has him. Any country has to have this type of patriot to recall people about their motherland and bring their attention to main points of life. His qualities, such as kindness, care of his people, or love and respect to his homeland really admires me. During his short life (40 years) he did many things for Armenian people. He is unique for me because he is one of the people whom I know, who first of all cared about his people, but never about himself. His love to his homeland I’ve never seen in other people. One day he walked

    Igor Gouzenko was a Russian who did a great deal of damage to communism and the USSR. Some may see him as a selfish man, who betrayed his country for money and personal freedom, but others may see him as a selfless man, who despite the severe consequences for him and his family, did what would ultimately benefit the whole world. My opinion is that he was a great, selfless man who sacrificed all he had for the freedoms we enjoy in democratic countries around the globe. Gouzenko's sacrifice also included the imprisonment of 11 people who had barely done anything wrong, but was unavoidable because the supporters of communism had to be stopped if they couldn't be converted.…

    Sometimes, it is hard for a teenager to believe the word “modern” is not always the best, and the word “ancient” is not always unpalatable. From these encounters, my understanding of cultures, religions, and writing skills expanded. I learned the effectiveness of literary devices such as irony, allegory, onomatopoeia, and satire. The historical time frame of the writing, the cultural aspects of the writer, and historical events within the piece are important aspects in evaluating the quality of literature. If possible, reading literature in its original language helps to increase the appreciation of the quality of its excellence. Finally, reading a piece of literature more than once may enlighten a reader concerning its…

    For as long as I can remember literature has always played an important role in my life. As a young child, I can remember how excited I’d be at story time each night before bed. My interest in literature carried on throughout my school years...from kindergarten...when I was placed in the red bird group, which was the group of strongest readers….to high school…when I had the benefit of being taught by one of the best English teachers ever, Ms. Irena King. Now as an adult and professional, I am very appreciative of the literary foundation that was laid for me by my family and my teachers. I understand how important literacy is in everyday life.…

    Nothing teaches us better than literature to see, in ethnic and cultural differences, the richness of the human patrimony, and to prize those differences as manifestation humanity's multi-faceted creativity. Reading good literature is an experience of pleasure, of course; but it is also an experience of learning what and how we are, on our human integrity and our human imperfection, with our actions, our dreams, and our ghosts, alone and in a relationship that link us to others, in our public image and in the secret recesses of our consciousness.…

    After Russian conquest Kazakhs who had oratory craftsmanship tried to oppose against unfair laws. Makhambet Otemisuly was one of the examples of how fiery speeches could come against injustice. This kind of opposing views led to the emersion of opposing oratory which is very convenient in terms of democracy. But at that time (1836-1838) democracy was not the policy of the Russian Empire. Their principle was to interrupt the protests at the beginning, so that the viewpoints do not unite and become a great power. After the establishment of the Soviet Union situation didn’t really change. Everything that was printed, written or said was examined and checked for the hostility. But the experience with the power of oratory among Kazakhs taught the government to use it when it is needed. During the World War II Soviet Union needed to be unified and be soaked with patriotic idea. Since not enough Kazakhs were literate, orators could play important role in the propagation of fiery words. The role of Zhambyl Zhabayev in this process was crucial. He was…

    At its most basic level, literature is commonly regarded as a kind of communication between author and reader. Just as in ordinary linguistic communication where a speaker conveys a message to an addressee, so in literature an author sends a message to a reader. The component elements of this definition are, however, open to criticism. Mikhail Bakhtin, Roland Barthes and Julia Kristeva explore the position and role of the author in relation to the text. This essay will investigate and critique their varying theories of authorship whilst highlighting their points of similarity and difference.…
