Origin and customs of mid autumn festival
The Mid Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese festival and a day for family reunion. On this day, everyone will eat moon cakes, which means reunion.I hope you can also enjoy your day with your family.
The World Is Too Much With Us William Wordsworth
The poem expresses dismay that mankind has become too obsessed with materialism and commerce, neglecting our connection to nature. We no longer appreciate the natural world or see ourselves as part of the greater cosmos. The speaker feels "out of tune" with nature's rhythms and forces like the sea and wind that no longer stir our emotions. He laments this lost connection and wishes instead to have the spiritual fulfillment of paganism, with its intimate bond to nature that could alleviate his loneliness and sense of alienation from the modern world.
The pilgrim's progress
The Pilgrim's Progress tells the story of Christian's journey from his home to the Celestial City as an allegory. In the story, Christian and his companion Faithful encounter Vanity Fair, a town representing the sinful world. Vanity Fair is depicted as a bustling marketplace selling all manner of worldly goods and vices. Christian and Faithful stand out from the crowd due to their plain clothing and disinterest in the wares for sale. Their behavior arouses hostility from residents of Vanity Fair, leading to Faithful being put on trial and condemned as a heretic. The allegory uses Vanity Fair to represent the difficulty pilgrims face distinguishing themselves from worldly attractions on their journey to salvation.
The world is_too_much_with_us[1]
The title "The World is Too Much With Us" suggests that Wordsworth believes society and modern life distract us too much from appreciating nature. The world of "getting and spending" overwhelms our ability to experience the beauty and simplicity of the natural world.

Eng309 revised
This document analyzes Chaucer's Wife of Bath character and explores whether she empowers women. It introduces research questions around Chaucer's intent in creating her and if he advocates for women. The thesis is that through allowing the Wife's experience to override male authority, including the loathly lady motif, Chaucer experiments with gender equality. The document then examines the Wife's prologue and tale, how she discounts male views of women based on her marriages. It analyzes how the loathly lady represents women gaining sovereignty and compares the Wife to Christine de Pizan, another women's advocate of the time.

According to legends, the cave of Polovragi was once home to the Dacian god Zamolxis. It is said he had supernatural powers and used the cave to travel through the mountains.

Home Reading Report (Soul of the Great Bell)
Ko-Ngai sacrificed herself by jumping into a furnace to be melted down in order to create a perfect bell for the emperor after two failed attempts. Her body was absorbed into the metal alloy, giving the great bell a beautiful form and melodic tones that echoed her name. To this day, the bell's ringing is said to end with a sobbing whisper of "Hiai", as if Ko-Ngai is crying out for her lost shoe. The story illustrates the themes of sacrifice and how far a daughter will go to save her father from the emperor's wrath.
