What is the definition of Marxist literature? What does he say about literature? How does he criticize literature?

You
have posted an interesting group of questions here because you ask for the definition of Marxist
literature, but then you request how Marx himself felt about the dealings of literature and the
criticism of said literature. In short, Marxist literature is simply literature written to
espouse the theory of Marxism.

The simple definition of Marxist literature
would be any work of writing that caters to the economic and political philosophy of Marx that
the struggle between the classes continues under capitalism and, therefore, all peoples should
work for a classless society instead. Marxist...

how do i find the probability for questions like this? A test consist of 10 true/false questions. to pass the test a student must answer at least 9...

We need to
find the probability that the student guesses correctly on 9 or 10 true false
questions:

(1) The most straightforward way is to use the binomial
distribution. Given the probability p of some event e, the probability of getting x events in n
trials is given as:

`P(e=x)= ` `_nC_x (p^x) (1-p)^(n-x) `


Here x=9 or 10, n=10, and the probability is p=.5 as there is an equally likely chance
of getting the question right or wrong. Since we have 9 or 10, and the events are mutually
exclusive, the total probability is P(x=9)+P(x=10).

`P(x=9)= ` `_(10)C_9 .5^9
.5^1=(10)(1/512)(1/2)=5/512~~.00977 `

`P(x=10)= `...

What are eight differences between prose and poetry?

I wish
that I could say the differences between prose and poetry were really clear cut; however, that
isn't always the case. Prose typically uses straightforward language, while poetry tends to be
"decorated" with literary techniques, some of which are rhythm, rhyme, metaphors, ,
and . Although, there are times when poetry lacks many of those things. "When the Fat Girl
Gets Skinny" is a good example of that. It contains some of those things, but if it were
written in paragraph format, a reader might think it was stream of consciousness prose.
Additionally, prose can contain extended paragraphs full of descriptions that sound quite
"poetic."

Probably a more concrete difference between prose and
poetry is how they organize thought. Prose will use sentences to convey a complete thought.
Thoughts that are related to each other are grouped into paragraphs. Poetry will often express a
thought as a single line, and lines are organized into stanzas of various
lengths.

When writing prose, writers do not break a line early. The words go
to the far right margin before dropping down to the next line. Poetry will use lines of all
kinds of different lengths depending on what the poet is trying to do. Sometimes the line is
topically driven. Other times the line is short or long because it has to fit a particular
syllable pattern and count.

Prose will use capital letters to start new
sentences, but poetry will generally use a capital to start a new line regardless of where it is
in the "sentence."

I have heard it be said that prose is dull and
poetry is expressive, attractive, and exciting, but that is purely up to reader opinion. That
seems at odds with what I see in bookstores. Most of the books are prose, and the poetry section
is quite small. If prose was so dull, that stuff wouldn't sell, and stores wouldn't stock as
much of it.

Finally, I think the following does a nice job of conveying a
difference between poetry and prose:

  • Poetry is best words in the
    best order.
  • Prose is words in their best order.

Prose is words in their "best" order in terms of grammar, usage,
and the like. This is because a main goal of prose is to convey information. Poetry will often
ignore the best grammatical arrangement of words in order to best convey to readers an image or
feeling.

In "A Good Man is Hard to Find," why does The Misfit kill the grandmother last?

It seems possible to me
that the Misfit kills the grandmother last because she is actually giving him an opportunity to
explain his life to someone. No one seems to have been interested in his professions of
innocence up till now, and the interaction with her provides him with the chance to really give
voice to the injustice done to himinjustice that, according to him, caused him to become the
criminal he is now. He claims that no one could ever show him the proof of the crimes of which
he was initially, wrongfully, accused. He says,


"That's why I sign myself now. I said long ago, you get you a signature and sign
everything you do and keep a copy of it. Then you'll know what you done and you can hold up the
crime to the punishment and see do they match and in the end you'll have something to prove you
ain't been treated right. I call myself The Misfit . . . because I can't make what all I done
wrong fit what all I gone through in punishment."


Even though the grandmother's interest in...

Which arguments about God are the most convincing? Of the three traditional agruments for God's existence, which argument do you believe is the...

alwaysng seems to
provoke interesting
responses doesn't it! I guess a lot of what Christians believe is based on

other presuppositions that you need to believe in for the Christian view to make
sense.
Obviously, one element of this is the role of the Bible in religion
and how Christians view it
as the word of God, therefore providing direction
for Christians. This also gives Christians a
book from which they derive a
number of their theological premises such as the omniscience and
omnipresence
of God.

What did Hamlet think about death in Shakespeare's play, Hamlet?

In
Shakespeare's , the play abounds with images of death from the very
beginning.

At the start,is struggling with his father's death; he greatly
resents his mother's hasty remarriage to his father's brother (and Hamlet's uncle) . He is so
distressed that he has considered suicide and is upset that God has forbidden it:


HAMLET:

O, that this
too too sullied flesh would melt,

Thaw and resolve itself into a
dew,

Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd

His canon
'gainst self-slaughter! (I.ii.132-135)

At the beginning,
Hamlet does not seem to be concerned with dying. Hamlet is given to believe that life after
death is not pleasant, specifically for those who have died with sins still upon their souls at
deathwhich is the way his father, Old Hamlet, died.

By the end of Act One,
Hamlet goes to see ifon the battlements is really his father. Old Hamlet relates that he is in
purgatory where "for a time," he must walk at night and burn in the fires during the
day. The ghost...

Why is the first sentence in Pride and Prejudice ironic?

This is an
oft-repeated, very famous example ofin English literature:


It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good
fortune must be in want of a wife.

Irony is saying the
opposite of what is meant. What is actually being "universally acknowledged" in this
sentence is that everyone in the village wants either themselves to marry or have their
daughters or female relatives wedded to well-off men. Everyone, in other words, wants a
well-to-do husband (having a fortune didn't necessarily mean wealth at that time, but having a
comfortable income) or a...
