Title Liceenii fata cu EminescuTitle Liceenii fata cu Eminescu«Students face with Eminescu»

EminescuEminescu

Summary Summary

What is Eminescu for high school students today? Tough question! For many - a canonical author, with several others currently in the high school curriculum and therefore baccalaureate, ready to mess up the final exam has idealistic and pessimistic philosophy sometimes misogynistic, her disturbing visions with great pictures cosmogonist with "panorama vanities" deep I dream projections, a lover unhappy and skeptical, a visionary, a romantic troubadour, a metaphysical revolt. Put simply, a genius.

Critical clichés repeated by teachers

are extensive among students eager good grades and a clear victory baccalaureate. Often follows a simplified Eminescu "landed“ sudden, dragged to the block of understanding of the students. So far there is nothing to do and still hope that Letters almost students will understand more. Predictive tests, extemporal, theses, other forms of assessment attest to the difficulties of understanding adolescent lyrical message Eminescu, and opacities in assuming biography

More details More details

Schooling poet was devoid of "fractures" and painful hiatus sites away from home in Czernowitz, where it acts as a rebellious spirit, inconformist, which causes dissatisfaction caminar George Eminovici. Students usually retain anecdotal detail, picturesque story: running away from school, grade repetition, Aron's disease Fist service Botosani Court just 14 years. Kindhearted teacher is a student playfully spelled "Arnold Fist", perhaps in unconscious

impulse, a little cosmopolitan.

His studiesHis studies Of course the poet "studied most in the German branch" (sic) and

because not too liked school, "his father went to church Uspenia" (sic). Why not his doctorate student Berlin? Here's a question, problem enticing high school students challenged to split hairs and build hypotheses from famous biography călinesciană 1932. Explanation of adolescents are brutal, crazy, absurd or unintentionally humorous, confirming the thesis that Eminescu is the author Romanian mythical beyond eras and generations taste "has not remained coregent doctorate because" (sic), "he wanted to invest the money in something else, not PhD΄s disease began to worsen "," probably remained coregent to any object or thought it was not important to a degree, but what is in your head, "" because was not interested in qualifications and exams "," retained student in German, "" lack of funds "," not his Ph.D. because he gave "," opinion is that Mihai Eminescu has doctorate, but his diploma was lost "," not because his doctorate have those three diseases, "" had no financial means ","

Some Lyrics of the poetSome Lyrics of the poet

"I saw your face blast of a sick drunk, / your bruised lip The corruption bit, / And I threw upon themselves and, crude, white veil of poetry, / And your lucidity range innocence I gave him "(Venere and Madonna).

The comments The comments Corrupt and ungrateful woman can appreciate the emotional and

aesthetic sacrifice lover, deluded chimera a moment of love. Teen considerations sometimes reveal opacity understanding and a "philosophy" land without chill

"In my opinion, the author sees imaginary girlfriend sick"; "In this stanza, Mihai Eminescu tells us how these women gave innocence, respect for poetry. And that he recited several poems "; "The poet describes his former girlfriend as she really is, here predominantly feelings of hatred, contempt and sincerity"; "Poet and realized that he gives him innocent, but she was a woman impure";

Erickson highlights flaws ideal woman, which ultimately is not perfect, but he tries to improve poetry"; "Lyrical ego brings shocking accusations woman who stir up rebellion, disappointment"; "She was barren not understand love"; "Lyrical ego discovers that lover cheating on him and it actually says that it displeases green to it"; "This woman was a prostitute and walk with people who had money, for example, actors'; "Demon verse signifies acceptance of this beloved woman and forgiveness by the poet"; "Erickson believes that his girlfriend is a whore house"; When there are "pearls" of the right, mainly put some statements in the powerful truisms and reveals an immature way of understanding poetry.

About universal poetry does not even up for discussion.

"Mihai Eminescu describes a dishonest woman, full of sin, which turns into the soul of a goddess, a saint";"She was a whore house, but because he loved went and gave indulgence spoken in the last stanza""Verse signifies innocence beloved woman who cheated" "Eminescu's lover discovers earth woman hatred, contempt, sensuality, but he tries to bring the way of innocence

When there are "pearls" of the right, mainly put some statements in the powerful truisms and reveals an immature way of understanding poetry.

The conclusionThe conclusion There is a Eminescu's winners and Olympians, the result of

juvenile unconditional admiration and based on careful reading of the great Romanian and foreign eminescologi and good reading of the work. For most high school students but national poet remains an area little explored spiritual and less understood as a "nut" hard exam and a genius in the most impenetrable.

Per Užgavėnes rūmuose nelikdavo karalių

By JŪRATĖ MIČIULIENĖ

Shrove Tuesday, the palace of Kings falls to the ground

Folk traditions of Mardi Gras, and cherished Rumšiškės are mentioned in almost every town, it’s no news. However, little is known of how celebrated the Grand Dutchy of Lithuania rulers and nobles the Shrove Tuesday. It seems that feasts and carnivals flats lasted three days .The Royal Palace Museum employees want to revive these traditions and March 1 , Saturday, for the first time they invited to the House of Shrove Tuesday . According to historians , on Shrove Tuesday the Royal Palace of the kings fell to the ground-they dressed peasants and made merry till early in the morning. Unfortunately there is no surviving painting representing this joyful feast. It is mentioned only in noblemen memories .Mardi Gras’ royal tradition from the Lithuanian’s Grand Duchy in Vilnius, rulers of German lands, came to Poland. “In the seventeenth century Baroque period, especially during the vasa era, the Mardi Gras feast of the palace had been a much-loved event . Entertainment lasted three days - until Ash Wednesday - said the Royal Palace Museum Cultural events coordinator Egle Belozaraite .The palace festival differed from the folk festival of Mardi Gras .The Rulers, their retinue, the nobles and the wealthiest city dwellers, were not content with the carnival during the celebrations. There were held luge race , knight tournaments , concerts, ballet performances opera and spectacular ballet . Happenings took place not only in the palace , but also in the surrounding pubs . Mardi Gras' peak, of course , was the carnival masks and much fruit.”

The peasants in disguiseAccording E. Belozaraites , the residents had no choice and were obliged to make changes. The Ruler and his wife loved to change the peasants, mostly those of other nations-French, German or exotic Moors, Africans. They wore clothes which were sewn from those countries popular brightly colored fabric . Shepherds depicting nobles clothed in linen shirts. An inn's owner, in whose pocket were all the fruity carnival participants, had certainly become one of the participants of the event . For example , historian Eimantas Gudas, who explored Stanislaw Radziwill Albertos memories found a 1644 entry, that during the Mardi Gras " Marshal Sapieha of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania palace, who used to raise the king previously with luxurious dinners , now kindly agreed to be the inn's owner.”Mardi Gras Animations were loved not only by vases but also by Augustus II . He even visited the Venice Carnival. According E. Belozaraites palace masks were minimal, covering only the eyes. “When nobles cast as lower caste people, they wore simple clothes. However, a peasant dressed king and queen had to present expensive jewellery ”- said E. Belozaraite .

In already mentioned A.S. Radvilos memories of 1639, March 6 "There was held a dance at night in the castle, the queen and the princess appeared in masks . Mardi Gras' celebrations and fun in the royal palace lasted three days until Wednesday (that is Ash Wednesday ) dawn. I had mild gout, kindly lay at home . "After two years AS Radvila wrote again: “The Queen and the other one dressed as Maurie danced merrily. Prince Casimir and bishop prince Karolis unrolled a couple of ruler and courtiers gifts. Fiesting was worthy prince. In the evening, according to the German custom, spell cards, was a German inn carnival, which paid as a " master " of Smolensk Voivod. Late in the night we saw a funny comedy about Arnide. The last three days before Ash Wednesday was again dancing in the castle, fun in the city".

1.How many days did the celebrations of Mardi Gras last?

2.Are there surviving paintings depicting the celebrations of Mardi Gras?

3.Could you describe the palace masks?

4.Peasants didn't have the right to disguise themselves. True or false?
