English literature can be divided into four main types - poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction. Poetry is a type of literature that conveys thoughts in a lyrical arrangement of words and can have structured forms like rhyming lines or freeform styles. Drama is a composition intended to be acted on stage involving characters and conflict. Fiction includes novels, short stories, and novellas that are created from imagination rather than presented as fact. Nonfiction is based on true events and includes categories like narrative, expository, persuasive, and descriptive writing.

Tradition and individual talent.ppt
Tradition refers to the English literary canon from ancient Greek and Roman works through Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton and others. Individual talent refers to new poems and poets. Eliot argues that for a new poem to be successful, it must conform to literary tradition by demonstrating a historical understanding of poetic forms and a poetic sensibility shaped by great works, yet still reflect the contemporary era. The new poet must act as a catalyst, combining tradition and individual experiences into a new work without changing themselves. In this way, great poetry is created by both conforming to tradition and expressing individual talent.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
