Answer:
Pygmalion derives its name from the famous story in Ovid's Metamorphoses, in which Pygmalion, disgusted by the loose and shameful lives of the women of his era, decides to live alone and unmarried. With wondrous art, he creates a beautiful statue more perfect than any living woman. The more he looks upon her, the more deeply he falls in love with her, until he wishes that she were more than a statue. This statue is Galatea. Lovesick, Pygmalion goes to the temple of the goddess Venus and prays that she give him a lover like his statue; Venus is touched by his love and brings Galatea to life. When Pygmalion returns from Venus' temple and kisses his statue, he is delighted to find that she is warm and soft to the touch--"The maiden felt the kisses, blushed and, lifting her timid eyes up to the light, saw the sky and her lover at the same time" (Frank Justus Miller, trans.).
Pygmalion In Modern Stories And Literature. Pygmalion was a sculptor who falls in love with an ivory statue he had carved. The most famous story about him is the narrative poem Metamorphoses by Ovid. ... He kissed it again, and found that the ivory had lost its hardness.
Modern treatments of the Pygmalion myth sometimes explore Pygmalion’s side of things; others, the perspective of his lady (named Galatea much later by Jean-Jaques Rousseau). Irrespective of the point of view, Pygmalion stories always focus on the idea of making someone into someone else. Sometimes this metamorphosis (or attempted metamorphosis) is played for comedy, sometimes for drama, or straight-up horror. Whatever any particular case may be, there’s something undeniably and enduringly fascinating about the central idea; given the volume of Pygmalion retellings out there,
The story "There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" can be understood from various different perspectives. Even though Sorrentino claims to not have written it as a symbol for anything, the narrative can be understood as a symbol of life itself.
The man with the umbrella is completely random and inescrutable. The man receiving the blows has no idea why he is the recepient, or what motivates the other man. His only option is to take the blows. This is similar to how we face hardships in life. We just have to accept that tragedy is sometimes random. Moreover, the protagonist eventually gets used to this situation, in the same way we can get used to any problem we have in life.
Dear Principal.
I come through this letter to emphasize attitudes that should be discouraged in our students and encouraged in our teachers, to make the learning process in our school more effective and strengthened, in addition to making the school life more harmonious.
In relation to students, I believe it would be beneficial if the practice of sitting, or even lying down, in the library corridors were prohibited. I have seen that many students tend to do this type of activity, which impairs the circulation of people in the library and can even cause accidents that put both the students and the library's collection at risk. A second practice among students that should be avoided is the use of calculators during classes that involve calculations. This should be avoided because, although the calculator is an efficient tool, it prevents students from being able to understand the calculation and exact it.
Among teachers, I believe it is important to encourage patience, as some of them have been a little impatient when complex concepts are not quickly understood by students. I also believe that they should encourage students to take more notes, as I have noticed that students learn more by copying than by receiving class material by email, or by handouts.
Thank you for your time and ask you to take my recommendations into account.
Graciously,
Mary Smith.
