Robert Zimmerman changed his name to Bob Dylan and became a famous rock star, taking the name of the renowned Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. Thomas was considered the "rock star" of 20th century literature for his romantic poems filled with vivid imagery and landscapes that epitomized the zest for life. Though his themes involved mortality, he maintained a non-pessimistic view. Thomas was well known for his speaking tours performing his poetry but led a chaotic personal life as a womanizer and heavy drinker, ultimately dying of alcoholism at age 39 from "severe insult to the brain."

Milton
John Milton was a highly educated English poet from a cultured family who decided to become a poet of God while at Cambridge. He fought against the king and was imprisoned when the monarchy was restored. While blind and in prison, Milton wrote Paradise Lost, considered the greatest epic poem in English that tells the biblical story of Adam and Eve's fall from grace in a vast setting involving supernatural forces like gods and angels. Epics generally feature a heroic figure of national importance and historical deeds, an elevated writing style, and sometimes begin by stating their theme or asking a question of a muse.
To The Virgins
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying :
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying.
The poem advises readers to make the most of their youth and not delay in pursuing love and marriage as time passes quickly and youthful beauty and vigor will not last forever. It encourages readers to "be not coy, but use your time, / And while ye may go marry" before losing their youthful prime and chance for love.

Parents must sign and return the permission slip by November 19th to allow or not allow their student to watch the R-rated film, which contains some mature content and violence.

The British Renaissance
The document summarizes key aspects of the English Renaissance period including the rediscovery of classical Greek and Roman works, the focus on humanity and nature over religion, the invention of the printing press, rise of democracy and nationalism, and interest in education and the arts. It also provides details about sonnet forms like the Petrarchan and Shakespearean styles. Specific poets from the era like Sir Philip Sidney and Christopher Marlowe are discussed, noting their biographies and important works.
Theme
Theme refers to the underlying central idea or universal truth communicated by a work of literature. It expresses the author's view on life, society, human nature or experience. A theme may be found in stories, art, movies and more. While a theme does not fully explain the work, it is one element that provides meaning and insight into the author's perspective.
Character traits
Character traits help readers understand why fictional characters act the way they do, predict their future actions, and comprehend their relationships. Authors bring characters to life through direct descriptions using adjectives or indirect examples of what characters say, think, feel, look like, and how others perceive them to help readers feel a certain way about each character.
Theme and symbolism
The document discusses themes and symbolism in literature. It defines a theme as the underlying central idea or universal truth that a work of literature communicates about life, society, human nature or the human condition. A theme expresses the author's view or raises questions, but does not completely explain the story. Symbolism represents one thing with another through objects, ideas or actions that have meaning known only to some. Both themes and symbols in literature require attention and interpretation to understand fully.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
