This document analyzes the competitive history between comedians Jay Leno and David Letterman. It details how they both started in Los Angeles comedy clubs in the late 1970s and later became guests on Johnny Carson's "The Tonight Show". When Carson retired in 1992, Leno was given "The Tonight Show" hosting role instead of the expected Letterman. In response, Letterman began hosting "The Late Show" on CBS in the same time slot. This began a long-running rivalry as the two competed for viewers and ratings that helped define the era of late night talk shows.

Crash Falling for "Crash Landing"
For many months, “Crash Landing On You” continues to be on Netflix’s Top 10 most watched list in the Philippines. Time Magazine also named it as one of the best K-dramas on Netflix. Though I was not a “virgin” in K-drama-bingeing since I first followed the period drama, “Jewel in the Palace” decades ago, I was not really into rom-coms and chick flicks. What piqued my interest was the engaging storyline set in the backdrop of the continuing military if not political conflict in the Korean peninsula. “Crash Landing On You” was inspired by an actual event in 2008 when a South Korean actress on a boat trip with her three friends, accidentally strayed into disputed waters between North and South Korea after getting lost in a fog.
Courtly love
Courtly love was a code of conduct during the Middle Ages where married noblewomen and knights engaged in secret, adulterous relationships. As marriages were arranged to forge alliances rather than love, courtly love provided an outlet for passion and devotion between higher status individuals. A knight would pledge his chivalrous love from afar to a noblewoman and seek to prove himself through feats of bravery, while she would encourage but not fully accept his advances due to social norms.
Courtly love
Courtly love originated in the 12th century in Aquitaine, France and spread to other European countries. It involved strict rules where knights would express their devoted admiration for a lady, even if one or both were married. The ideals of courtly love were promoted through poems, songs, and works by authors like Chaucer that described stories adhering to concepts like jealousy being necessary for love. However, historians note it did little to change the actual legal or economic positions of women.
Casablanca
Rick Blaine is the cynical owner of a cafe in Casablanca who is transformed from a self-centered man into an emotionally confident hero. Ilsa Lund is Rick's lost love who remains emotionally distant due to her commitment to her husband Victor Laslo, a noble resistance leader. Captain Renault initially acts cynically like Rick but finds purpose in aiding the resistance. Major Strasser is a ruthless Nazi seeking to stop Laslo from escaping. The film explores how these characters are impacted by fate, luck, and their intertwined pasts in Casablanca during WWII.
Village Wooing
This document provides an analysis of George Bernard Shaw's play "A Ship A Shop". It summarizes that the play tells a story of a man and woman meeting on a ship with opposing views, as the man wants a wealthy woman and the woman wants adventure, but they both learn to value domestic life over lavish experiences. The analysis also notes that Shaw avoids commentary and leaves interpretation open, exploring themes of language, uncertainty, and how meaning is negotiated in a theatrical performance.
Billenium
The short story "Billenium" describes a dystopian future where overpopulation has led to a severe lack of living space. People are forced to live in extremely small cubicles, with no privacy or freedom to decide where to live. The main characters, Ward and Rossiter, discover a secret room that gives them more space and privacy. They invite friends to share the room. However, as more people move in, the space becomes cramped and the last symbol of beauty, Ward's antique wardrobe, must be destroyed. The story uses this setting to illustrate themes of overpopulation, loss of privacy and freedom, and the destruction of beauty that may result if populations continue to grow unchecked.
Codes and conventions of film noir
This document describes the key characteristics of film noir, including grim urban settings, cynical characters, and stark shadowy photography. It notes the use of shadows, fog, unusual camera angles, and lighting effects to create an unsettling mood. Common elements include downbeat jazz music, voiceovers, and flashbacks told in a nonlinear fashion. The characters typically include detectives, corrupt police, and criminals, dealing with themes of greed, betrayal, and violence.
The restoration industry, commerce, and the middle class
The document discusses several 18th century English writers. It describes Anne Finch as one of the first published female poets who wrote about women's social rights and nature. John Wilmot expressed anti-women views in his poems and behaved immorally. The Restoration led to changes for women and the theater. William Wycherley's comedy play "The Country Wife" satirized the hypocrisy of upper-class Londoners through characters like the womanizer Horner and controlling husbands.

Red Balloon
The poem "Red Balloon" by Abse is an extended metaphor where the red balloon represents his Jewish faith. As the balloon floats over the town, some try to attack it but it does not burst, representing how though some tried to diminish his faith, it remained strong. The balloon brings him both joy in his faith but also notoriety from others in Welsh society who are prejudiced against his Judaism. The poem depicts how his religion divided people and caused conflicts with others due to their resentment towards it.

"Her Life's Solace Was Visiting and News": social networks and gossip in nine...The Nation, Genre and Gender Project
Gossip is an integral facet of the social and narrative landscapes of 19th century novels. When two or more characters gather on the page to discuss a third (or additional) character(s), their conversation provides narrative exposition, illustrates the personalities and sentiments of the gossipers themselves (as well as their subjects of discussion), and is frequently a spur to dramatic action. In the humanities and social sciences, gossip has been conceptualised both as a subversive communicative mode and as a socially conservative one; meanwhile, social network analysis research has examined how the act of gossiping affects individuals and groups, and has identified network structures that are characteristic of gossip and its spread through a community. Combining these approaches, this paper utilises the corpus of literary social network analyses that have been prepared by the interdisciplinary Nation, Genre and Gender project, a large-scale survey of 19th century British and Irish novels combining computer science and humanities methodologies. We identify a number of scenes in these novels in which gossip occurs, and utilise these as prototypical social networks in order to investigate how gossip manifests throughout the wider corpus. Our focus is on the identification of theoretical "gossip structures" in the networks, and whether these are associated with particular aspects of the novel, such as its genre, the gender of the author or the attributes of the characters involved.Pa no.2 Neo Classical

The document also briefly discusses how other works like Heart of Darkness and The Bluest Eye explore themes of racism and imperialism in the context of colonial master-slave relationships.
