Ärkamisaeg Mis on ärkamisaeg eesti kultuuris? Pärisorjuse kaotamine ning 1860. aastail alanud talude päriseksostmine andis eestlastele võimaluse majanduslikuks ja kultuuriliseks edenemiseks. Kasvas eestlaste rahvaarv. Euroopas levivate natsionalismi ja rahvusromantismi ideede toel sai alguse rahvuslik ärkamine, eesti rahvuse, iseseisva rahvuskultuuri ja rahvusliku haritlaskonna kujunemine. Oluliseks kultuurikeskuseks oli Tartu ja sealne ülikool. Haritlastest rahvuspatrioodid innustasid eestlasi osalema avalikus elus ja määratlesid tärkava rahva õiguslikud ja kultuurilised nõudmised. Eestlaste etnilise püsimajäämise ja rahvusliku arengu kõige olulisemaks tagatiseks pidasid liikumise juhid omakeelse euroopaliku kõrgkultuuri rajamist. Väljapaistvad rahvusliku kultuuri viljelejad olid pastor Jakob Hurt, Mihkel Veske, kirjanik Friedrich Kuhlbars ning teised eesti soost kirjamehed ja kooliõpetajad. ...

„The secret life of Walter Mitty“ https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGWO2w0H 2V8 The film was the newest film adaptation of the short story of the same title, written by James Thurber and was published in The New Yorker in 1939. Eight years later, a film adaptation was made starring Danny Kaye, though the story was entirely different from the original.

Walter is a photo editor for Life magazine, but he can't find the one shot from a famous photojournalist (Sean Penn) that is meant for the cover of the final issue.

Stiller ends up starring and directing the entire movie after much negotiation during the pre-production. Jim Carrey and Sacha Baron Cohen ...

War Horse ,,War Horse", a war drama film directed by Steven Spielberg talked about a horse and it's adventures before and during World War I. The screenplay is an adaption of M. Murpurgo's children's novel by the same name. One of the main characters is a boy named Albert, who'se father bought him a horse and Albert got to train it. Albert and the horse became very close friends. But when the war approached, they had to sell the horse in order to pay the bills. The horse, named Joey, travelled long distances and met many people. Everyone who saw Joey, wanted it to themselves. Finally, when the war was nearing it's end, Albert and Joey were reunited. I liked the movie because it told a compelling story about friendship and it taught us never to give up hope. The chances for Albert to see Joey again were very thin but luckily Joey was able to come back to it's true owner. I also liked the acting many o...
"People can live one hundred years without really living a minute" Some people live a very long life but living a long life doesn't always mean a great life. Actions in your life are what will make your life truly amazing. First of all, when you live so many years without really doing something memorable, then what's the point. Life is all about challenges and adventures. They will make you wiser and you will have more things to remember. I think when you're finally old, it's great to look back and see what a wonderful life you've lived. On the other hand, some people are okay with just being and not doing something wonderful. They like their lifes just the way they are. They are happy with that comfortable position. Sometimes it's risky to take challenges. You'll never know what will happen and that can be very frightening sometimes. To conclude, people can live a long life without living, but it's really eveybodys own decisi...

Film review A film I have enjoyed recently is The Beach. What made me want to see it was the title first of all, and I also heard that my favourite actor Leonardo Di Caprio plays in that film. It was directed by Danny Boyle and it stars two young actors, Leonardo Di Caprio and Robert Carlyle. The film is set in Thailand. The main character is a young American man who travels to Thailand in search of the perfect vacation. During a stay in Bangkok, he meets a mysterious man who tells him about a secret beach. Richard then heads for southern Thailand in search of the island. Along the way, he meets a young French couple, Françoise and Étienne and he shares the secret of the island with them. The three then start to find the island and finally they get there. Heading further inland, they find a hidden beach where a small clan of travellers has settled. After their arri...

Revolutionary period literature 17661799 Geographical lines were now forgotten, the literature of this period is no longer local. Literature presents the vivid reflection of that momentous struggle for independence upon which the American colonies had entered. Fiery speeches, able arguments set forth in newspapers and in pamphlets, sharp and bitter satire.

Have you ever wondered what travelling gives to people? Is it just all about getting away from home or something more? The person who has seen the world has more knowledge about the things going on elsewhere. From a personal standpoint, travelling is one of the ways how to accomplish themselves, for example some people go abroad only with a packback just to see if they could live without fancy hotels and only little cash in their pockets. On the other hand, it might get really hard to get food and shelter but young people like adventures. The second reason, why so many young people travel to other countries is that they want to become an exchange student. This also includes very much travelling and seeing the land. Unfortunately, it might be a sad travel because of missing their family. From a religious and historical point of view, it can be said that travelling can be really helpful if it comes to gaining knowledge about the history o...

The school holiday – time for new challenges and adventures Changes and challenges can come in many forms. An holiday is the perfect place to try something new, to push yourself to a new limit and realise your dreams. You can do something that you've never tried before, like going to new places or take part of the adventure games. You can go to the gym or run every day 5 km. I like to go hiking in the woods or just take a daytrip to a city where I have never been before. The other possibility is to go for a mental challenge, like learning new language, or reading an interesting book. It is good challenge to take a science or philosophy book, something that is not so easy to read so you can be proud of yourself after finishing it. It is also possible to learn new skills such as cooking or dancing or making yourself a short film or learn a new computer program. Some people find yourself a job for a holiday and earn money. Sometimes all ...

Mina kuulasin läbi Marilyn Mansoni albumi ''Eat me, Drink me''. Kogu album kestab kokku 52 minutit. Antud plaat on saanud inspiratsiooni Lewis Carroll'i raamatust ''Alice imedemaal'' . Albumi pealkiri on tulnud sellest, kuidas Alice leidis pudeli, mille peale oli kirjutatud ''Joo mind!'' ning hiljem leidis koogi, mille juures oli silt ''Söö mind!''. (''Eat me, Drink me'', Wikipedia, 15.09.2011); (''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'', Wikipedia, 15.09.2011) ''See on nii sünge muusika,'' ütles ema mu toast mööda kõndides, kui kuulasin seda plaati. Umbes sama arvavad ka enamus tuttavaid mu sõprusringkonnast. Need 13 laulu ja üldse Marilyn Mansoni muusika tekitab minus enamasti kahte emotsooni: rahulolu ja masendust. Mansoni muusikat kuulates tekkiv rahulolu on kuidagi eriline, kui võrrelda seda tavalise rõõmsameelse indie või elektroonilise muusikaga. See ei pane mõtlema headele asjadele, vaid probleemidele ja halbadele mälestustele min...

Doctor Who on briti sci-fi teleseriaal, mis sai alguse aastal 1963 ning kestis esialgu kuni 1989. aastani, moodustades nii 26 hooaega (pluss üks film aastal 1996). Sari toodi tagasi teleekraanile aastal 2005. Praegu on käimas 33. hooaeg (uutest hooaegadest 7.). Sari on loodud Sydney Newman'i, C. E. Webber'i ja Donald Wilson'i poolt. Seriaalil on olnud läbi aastate kümneid produtsente ja direktoreid, kuid praegused produtsendid on Steven Moffat ja Caroline Skinner. Doctor Who sisuks on ajalordi, inimese välimusega tulnuka, kes on tuntud nime all Doctor, seiklustest. Ta rändab mööda kosmost ja ajaruumi oma ajamasina-kosmoselaeva T.A.R.D.I.S.'ega, mis on lühend nimest Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Väljastpoolt paistab see nagu vanaaegne briti politsei telefoniputka, mis oli tavaline aastal 1963, kuid seestpoolt on masin mitmeid kordi suurem, sisaldades juhtpulti, eluruume ning garderoobi võimaliku basseiniga.

The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see To most people, the words tourist and traveler have the same meaning - a person visiting a foreign country to see what it has to offer. However, for people in the travel community these titles may have vastly different meanings. For many, when hearing the word tourist, a stereotypical picture comes to mind: a person with cargo shorts, a hawaiian shirt, a huge hat and sunglasses with a camera around their neck and map in hand. That is rather common amongst tourists, wearing what’s comfortable and they’d wear at home and not putting much effort into blending in. Their trips are usually planned to the T, leaving no room for any spontaneous adventures that might come up along the way. They tend to only see the ‘must see’ tourist attractions, stay in a good hotels overall sticking to all the amenities that are similar to home. A traveller however is diffe...
Today was one of those days where everything went wrong. I had prepared myself for a job interview for a long time because I wanted that job so much. One day before the interview I set the alarm clock at 7.00am, so that I would have enough time to get ready. The interview started at 9.00am. I woke up in the morning because I heard a door bell and wondered who could come so early. I saw my neighbour standing at the door holding a newspaper. ,,You always come at 8 o'clock. What are you doing here so early?" I asked. She raised her eyebrows, felt really confused and said she had come as usual. I glanced at my watch and understood that my alarm clock hadn't rang. My job interview would start in one hour and I had to hurry on a bus. Half an hour later I was in the bus station and felt relieved because I had still 5 minutes until my bus came. So I waited and looked at the timetable and saw that the bus drove every working day except that day....

See oli tema elu suurim soov, kuid vanemad polnud sellega rahul. Crusoe sai lõpuks merele ühe oma sõbra kaptenist isaga. Nad olid teel Londonisse. Merel möllasid tormid ja nooruk jäi merehaigeks. Kuid kui pääseti kuivale maale, tahtis Crusoe juba järgmisele reisile minna. Vahepeal juhtusid temaga suured seiklused, kus teda võeti vangi, kuid ta põgenes ja kohtus merel ühe Portugali laevaga, mille kapten aitas teda. Lõpuks pääses ta ta Brasiiliasse, kus ostis endale isikliku suhkrurooistanduse.Kuna sinna oli vaja lisatööjõudu, siis paluti Robinsonil Aafrikast orje ostma minna. Sellel reisil hävitas tuge...
