Closed-form refers to a type of poetry that is written in the traditional through specific line length, meter, rhyme, and line groupings. Line is usually measured and cannot exceed the amount required. Stanzas are a group of lines that can be the same as a paragraph. A common type of closed forms is blank verse which shows normal speech but is also poetic. A couplet is two lines that rhyme and are the same in length and meter.

convey an idea, one must choose a form of media to express that idea to his or her audience. Depending on the message, some forms of media may be more expressive or accurate than others; however, I argue that the synergetic use of language, symbolism, photography, cartoons, and actions shown in film is the most expressive form of discourse. Furthermore, I argue for a new form of media that would be even more expressive by allowing a creator to make multiple art forms and communication styles that can

Plato’s theory of forms “Everything which exist in this world and all things that we see around us are not as they appear to us” this is the core idea behind plato’s theory of forms.From this idea only he moves towards explaining his world of forms or ideas. In his book called THE REPUBLIC he tell us that the “Good”is the end of all endeavour,it is the object on which every heart is set,so this good according to him has a form,infact all the abstract ideas like good, justice

Many different forms of government have existed throughout civilization. Theocracy, dictatorships, democracy, and many others have all had periods of time where they reigned as the government of choice. Arguments could be made in favor of each form of government. The key to finding the most viable form of government is to consider this: which form of government provides the most stability for the state? The stability of the state is based upon the foundation of the government. Shaky foundations

Aristotle saw democracy as the pinnacle of the benevolent types of the government forms that existed in his time. But what is it that makes democracy better than the others? To find an answer to that question, one must first take a look at the opposition. One must understand what the other types of government types lack that democracy has. There are many types of governance. In this essay, three types of governmental forms, aside from democracy, have been chosen as a comparison medium. Monarchy, Dictatorship

There are many types of modern and historic governments. The form of government a nation has is influenced by their past government and the specific circumstances in the country. There are many variations of essentially similar forms of government. All forms of government can be simplified into a classification as either limited or unlimited. Limited government is regulated by a constitution and a functioning legal system. This places restrictions on the nation’s leaders and limits their

Poems are a form of writing with a set meter. Most poems have an end rhyme scheme to accompany the meter. Poems, like short stories, have symbols. Although short story symbols were not the easiest to identify, the symbols in poems are sometimes even harder to determine. Poems also include metaphors, imagery, a certain tone, and always have a set audience. Lyrics are the most obvious type of poetry to date. A song has a rhythm and when the lyrics are sung to the beat a poem is created. Lyrics are

Plato’s Theory of Forms Plato was born, the son of Ariston and Perictione, in about 428 BC. His family, on both sides, was among the most distinguished in Athens. He was born in Athens into a very wealthy family and as a young man was a student of Socrates. Plato is probably one of the best-known philosophers. Plato embarked on a period of extensive travel, returning to Athens some years later. In 387 BCE he established the Academy, a school devoted to philosophical

An Analysis of the Form and Meaning of Happiness in Plato’s Republic I. Introduction One of the central claims of Plato’s Republic is that justice is not only desirable for its own sake, but that it maximises the happiness of those who practice it. This paper examines Plato’s arguments in support of this thesis to determine (a) what he means by happiness, (b) to what extent it exists in his proposed ideal state, and (c) whether this in any way substantiates his claims about the benefits of justice

philosophical theories are as essential as the theory of Forms. This is besides the fact that it is generally overlooked in many of Plato’s writings even though it lays the foundations to many other theories of his. The Republic is where the theory is first mentioned, followed by discussion in Phaedo and criticized in Parmenides and Timaeus thereafter. (These works will be further discussed later throughout the essay.) Plato’s theory of Forms, (sometimes referred to as the theory of Ideas) states basically:
