The Cursed Poets (First Period)

• Misunderstood: Society often despised them and made no effort to understand their work.
• Elite Over Society: Their intelligence meant their writing required education for proper interpretation, leading to societal distance.
• Excessive Lifestyles: Many indulged in excesses like prostitution (leading to syphilis), alcohol, and opium, resulting in early deaths.

Charles Baudelaire

• He sought to intimidate the bourgeoisie, and he succeeded.
• Flowers of Evil: This work was banned as obscene. It involves both the reader and the poet in an acknowledgement of human weakness and hypocrisy. A famous line asks: “Hypocritical reader — my fellow — my brother.”
• He found beauty in the sordid and the grim.

Paul Verlaine

What is FMEA?

FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) is a methodology aimed at achieving Quality Assurance. Through systematic analysis, it contributes to the identification and prevention of failure modes for both products and processes/services. It is a tool that systematically investigates the potentially weak points of products, processes, and services, quantifying and evaluating their risk of failure.

Objectives of FMEA

• Customer satisfaction
• Introduce the philosophy of prevention to companies
• Analyze the effects and failures that may affect a product or process
• Stipulate the means and procedures for each failure mode, and assign a method of detection for each failure
• Adopt corrective and preventive actions

First Conditional & Future Time Clauses

We use first conditional sentences to talk about a possible future situation and its consequence.

First Conditional Examples:

• If you work hard, you'll pass your exams.
• The boss won't be very pleased if we're late for the meeting.
• Come and see us next week if you have time.
• Allison won't get into university unless she gets good grades.
• I won't go unless you go too.

Rules for First Conditional:

• We use the present tense (NOT the future) after 'if' in first conditional sentences.
• We can also use an imperative instead of the 'will' clause.
• We can use 'unless' instead of 'if...not' in conditional sentences.
  • Example: She won't get into university unless she gets good grades / if she doesn't

Thematic Analysis of Samuel Johnson's Rasselas

Chapter 1: Fancy, Reason, and the Narrator's Warning

This fragment corresponds to the chapter 1 of Rasselas. The narrator begins with an advisory note to the readers. This warning helps readers who are about to read the story of the Prince of Abyssinia to distinguish between veridic facts and imaginative speculation within the novel.

The use of words such as “fancy” and “phantoms of hope” indicates a life lived without the guidance of reason. When imagination is prioritized above all, reality is not questioned. The text emphasizes that there must be a crucial balance between reason and fantasy.

Comparison: Fancy in Rasselas and Dickens' Hard Times

Would You Use Dating Sites?

Would you use dating sites?

Nowadays, more and more people are using dating sites to meet someone with whom to start a relationship.

On the one hand, you can meet people with different personalities and interests. You can also start a relationship slowly: first by texting or phone calls and finally by having a date. It’s easier to tell someone you don’t like them by text than to tell them face-to-face.

On the other hand, you never know if they might be cheating on you or laughing at you. This can hurt you a lot. Besides, people often lie about their lives, age, or physical appearance.

Even though a lot of people have found their better halves, I would never use dating sites because I think that they aren’t reliable...
