literature, The Happy Prince, Oscar Wilde
(Composed by Dang Xuan Thai Ngan DH02G-AV28) “The Happy Prince” is a fairy tale Oscar Wilde wrote for his two sons but its educational and humane value go far beyond the fairy world of children. The story develops children's compassion and sympathy for the poor and makes adults look back on their attitude toward the unfortunate people around them. All the good actions of the Happy Prince are so worthy and touching that he deserves our respect and admiration.Read more...

literature, Mother, Grace Paley
(written by Le Thi Nguyet Thu - DH02G-AV28) ‘Having Mom, my life is full of happiness. Having Mom, my life is warmer'. This is a song of a child talking about her mother. Feel like, Mother is the most meaningful part in the child's life. Yes, it is true. But does anyone of us really know the true meaning of having a Mother once she is still beside us? Still we can see what a child feel like when losing her Mom in Grace Paley's ‘Mother'.Read more...

literature, Mother, Grace Paley
(written by Tran Thi Kim Chau - DH02G-AV28) “Mother” is a short but profound story. It is told from the flashbacks of a daughter. Of several details, the image which the mother stands in various doorways is the remarkable one. At the end of a story, there is a sentence “I wish I could see her in the doorway of the living room.” As a reader, I understand that the narrator utter these words from the bottom of her heart. It is likely to me that there is a mixture of feelings expressed in this saying: nostalgia and regret. It is these feelings that led to this wish.Read more...

literature, Mother, Grace Paley
(written by Hoang Ngoc Trang - DH02G-AV28) The whole story “Mother” was full of flashbacks. It was filled with memories and wishes of a child who lost his/her mother. The mother had died; but the child still saw her or hoped to see her at the front door, at the doorway of the child's room, at the door of the kitchen, and in leather chairs. The child seemed to be obsessed by the images of the mother; and he/she was burned by a passionate longing too see her/his dead mother.Read more...

literature, I Have a Dream, Martin Luther King
(Composed by Dang Xuan Thai Ngan DH02G-AV28) Throughout the history, people have struggled for freedom, equality and civil rights not only by violent fighting but also by non – violent movements. Among those who are in favor of non – violent resistance to racism and segregation. Martin Luther King emerges as a significant figure – a political activist, a spokesman, a civil rights movement leader and the soul of the African American community. The speech “I Have a Dream” makes him live forever not only because of its powerful, eloquent and rhetorical expression but also because of his extreme devotion and great desire to struggle for the blacks' rights.Read more...

Martin Luther King, literature, I Have a Dream
(Composed by Hoang Ngoc Trang - DH02G-AV28)Vietnam is a developing country which has gain a lot of development in recent time. We are trying to become an industrialized country and the government have planed and conducted many strategies to make the dream come true. There are political strategies, economical strategies, educational strategies, military strategies, and so fourth. To develop the country, we often think of how to build a strong economy, to reach an effective education, and to have a stable political system. All of these are necessary but insufficient; there are also humans and human rights which decide the development and prosperity of the country.Read more...

literature, The Story of an Hour, Kate Chopin
(Composed by Vu Yen - DH02G-AV28) Kate Chopin most definitely was a famous writer and a poet. She lived her life in the way she wanted to and wrote what she felt and wanted to say. Most of her works are about sex, love, and marriage, and some of them were rejected by many publisher at the early of twentieth century. One of her most famous and well-liked masterpieces was the short story “The Story of an Hour”. This story shows the sympathy of the author to a woman's grieves in her marriage.Read more...

The Story of an Hour, Kate Chopin, literature
(Composed by Tran Thi Kim Chau - DH02G-AV28) The story of an hour happened within one hour in which the reappearance of Mr. Mallard had led the story to a sudden end- the death of Mrs. Mallard. The reason of her death “of joy that kills” has arisen many thoughts. In my opinion, the term “of joy that kills” can be understood in two different ways as follow.Read more...

Kate Chopin, The Story of an Hour, literature
(Composed by Dang Xuan Thai Ngan DH02G-AV28) The short story “The Story of an Hour” is as short as the shortness of an hour, within an hour, anything can happen. It is an hour for Mrs. Mallard to feel the things she never felt before, to fancy a free life ahead, to get in touch with the world outside, and then, she dies within that hour because hopes and dreams are suddenly taken away at the end by the sight of her husband coming back.Read more...

Kate Chopin, literature, The Story of an Hour
(Composed by Hoang Ngoc Trang - DH02G-AV28) Feeling free is a wonderful sense. Sometimes we feel free after an examination, feel free to leave our house and live independently, or feel free after we repay a debt. However, it sounds odd and shocking that a woman releases a feeling of freedom owing to her husband's death. Why did Mrs. Mallard utter “Free! Body and soul free!” when knowing that Mr. Mallard leaved her forever? Is it an acceptable reaction? Whether does that utterance have any further significance?Read more...

literature, Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart
(written by Le Thi Nguyet Thu - DH02G-AV28) In our whole lives, we always try to find ourselves a reason for doing something whether it is right or wrong. Some reasons are acceptable, some are not. However, to criticize a reason, we have to base on many aspects. In The Tell-Tale Heart, a famous story of Edgar Allan Poe, the murderer gave us a reason for killing the old man. It is because of the eye. In my opinion, it is unreasonable in three aspects.Read more...

literature, Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart
(written by Tran Thi Kim Chau - DH02G-AV28) The story “The Cop and the Anthem” happened with many funny details about Soapy. When he deserved being caught by the police for what he had done, he escaped from the arrest unexpectedly. Yet, when he did nothing and had just had good resolutions, he was suddenly under arrest. The ironic point here is the time when he wanted to better himself is also the moment his freedom was taken away and he could not carry out a resolution. From my point of view, despite the fact he finally wanted to resolve, it is good for him to be imprisoned for the two following reasons.Read more...

literature, Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart
(written by Dang Xuan Thai Ngan DH02G-AV28) Edgar Allan Poe wrote the story “The Tell – Tale Heart” to focus on the bad characteristic of human nature, that is the inability to resist evil deed. Under the influence of evil thoughts, the murderer in the story acts like a man who loses his mind, but in fact, he (although the murderer is unidentified, I would like to use the pronoun “he” to make my essay shorter and clearer) is normal and sensible enough to rationalize his murder and eventually he has his guilt on his conscience and admits all.Read more...

Edgar Allan Poe, literature, The Tell-Tale Heart
(written by Nguyen Hoang Ngoc Trang - DH02G-AV28) “The tell-tale heart” is a story about a person killing an old man with vulture eye and afterward admitting the crime. The narrator was sexually unidentified as well as not directly characterized by the writer. The narrator himself confirmed that he (I may use “he” to refer the narrator for convenience) was not mad, but the way he thought and his actions make me unable not to say him a mad person.Read more...
