Literary Criticism

Literary criticism is the assessment or interpretation of someones writing. It's the perception of what the reader believes. It is not always negative but there is also positive criticism as well. The majority of times it is done by professional interpreter's, who's job is to critique different text. The fact that it might be negative or positive is besides the point. The importance of literary criticism is that it asks questions. The interpretation asks questions about the literary work that might bring something out, for readers, that they might not have seen while reading the text themselves. It also makes the reader want to look deeper in to what he or she might be reading. Literary criticism also brings books, articles, magazines or any other type of writing to life in it's own way. It does this by introducing them to the world. At the same time that interpreters have their critique on someones text, you and I might form our own opinion. We will form our own opinion to the work itself as well as the interpretation. We, in return, get help from this because it helps us learn what direction to view different types of writing. This can be considered as a crutch to writers because it gives them an outside view of their own work.

MLA STYLE CITATION

The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansans call "out there." Some seventy miles east of the Colorado border, the countryside, with it's hard blue skies and desert-clear air, has an atmosphere that is rather more Far West than Middle West. The local accent is barbed with a prairie twang, a ranch-hand nasalness, and the men, many of them, wear narrow frontier trousers, Stetsons, and high heeled boots with pointed toes. The Land is flat, and the views are awesomely extensive; horses, herds of cattle, a white cluster of grain elevators rising as gracefully as Greek temples are visible long before a traveler reaches them. (Capote 1)

Steroids: The Sports Enhancer

ABSTRACT
When athletes take Steroids, especially in cycles, it increases their ability to perform well at what they do. Although scrutinized by many, a large number of sportsmen continue to engage in using steroids. It increases protein synthesis within cells, which results in the buildup of tissue. This build up of tissue occurs mostly in muscles. The hormone's anabolic effect helps the body retain dietary protein, which aids in the development of muscles. This is what attracts the athlete to consume the steroid so that he or she can have an upper hand and perform better.

Cubism: The Art Form

Cubism was a 20th-century art movement which was developed in Paris between 1907 and 1911. Pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, cubism transformed European painting and sculpture. This art form is distinguished by the downgrade and breakdown of natural forms into complex, often geometric structures. It was misunderstood for its radical departure from traditional European paintings. To Picasso the traditional beauties of art and the appeal of the subject was now irrelevant. Cubism was very much misrepresented by art critiques and theoretical works on the art movement. It was also neglected due to the outbreak of WWI which interrupted artistic life throughout most of Europe. Cubism also had a reflective influence on 20th-century sculpture and architecture. This art form presented a new reality in paintings and was later adopted and further developed by many artist.
