led to his death. Writing career Sand and Jules Sandeau published a few stories in co-operation, signing them "Jules Sand." She adopted, for her first independent novel Indiana (1832) , the pen name that made her famous George Sand. Her first published novel, Rose et Blanche (1831), was written in collaboration with Jules Sandeau. Also she had written some rural novels from her childhood experiences of the countryside, some theatre pieces and autobiographical pieces. Sand often performed her theatrical works in her small private theatre at the Nohant estate. In addition, Sand authored literary criticism and political texts. Her most widely used quote is "There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved." A few excerpts demonstrate much of what was often said about George Sand: "She was a thinking bosom and one who overpowered her young lovers, all Sybil -- a Romantic." V.S. Pritchett (writer)

The Byronic hero first appears in Byron's semi autobiographical epic narrative poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage Many of Byron's characters are a similar specific type of the Romantic hero: An idealised but flawed character with great talent and passion, a distaste for society, disrispect towards rank and privilege, arrogance, overconfidence, selfdistructiveness.

Partly autobiographical, the novel abounds with social criticism. It is a novel considered ahead of its time. In spite of the dark, brooding elements, it has a strong sense of right and wrong, of morality at its core. There are several Christian aspects underlying the plot that mold its character and essence.

· Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (1939) · Four Quartets (1945) James Augustine Aloysius Joyce James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 13 January 1941) was an Irish expatriate writer, widely considered to be one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. He is best known for his landmark novel Ulysses (1922) and its highly controversial successor Finnegans Wake (1939), as well as the short story collection Dubliners (1914) and the semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). Although he spent most of his adult life outside Ireland, Joyce's psychological and fictional universe is firmly rooted in his native Dublin, the city which provides the settings and much of the subject matter for all his fiction. In particular, his tempestuous early relationship with the Irish Roman Catholic Church is reflected through a similar inner conflict in his recurrent alter ego Stephen Dedalus

lifelong fascination" with illness, dying and death. Perhaps surprisingly for a New England spinster, her poems allude to death by many methods: "crucifixion, drowning, hanging, suffocation, freezing, premature burial, shooting, stabbing and guillotinage". She reserved her sharpest insights into the "death blow aimed by God" and the "funeral in the brain", often reinforced by images of thirst and starvation. Dickinson scholar Vivian Pollak considers these references an autobiographical reflection of Dickinson's "thirstingstarving persona", an outward expression of her needy selfimage as small, thin and frail. Dickinson's most psychologically complex poems explore the theme that the loss of hunger for life causes the death of self and place this at "the interface of murder and suicide". Gospel poems Throughout her life, Dickinson wrote poems reflecting a preoccupation with the teachings of Jesus Christ and, indeed, many are addressed to him

However, travel books are also autobiographical writings, and as such they inscribe the writers as narrators/characters in their texts.

When the bomb raid begins, they find shelter in the deep freeze areas, this is how they survive when 100 350 people die in dresden. When they come out of the slaughterhouse, dresden looks like a surface of moon. They are saved in the place of slaughter. This already raises moral and philosophical questions about
historical background. In the poem "It's Good", Mayakovsky writes about socialist society being the "springtime of humanity". Mayakovsky was instrumental in producing a new type of poetry in which politics played a major part. In the 1930s Socialist realism became the predominant trend in Russia. Its leading figure was Maxim Gorky, who laid the foundations of this style with his works The Mother and his play The Enemies (both 1906). His autobiographical trilogy describes his journey from the poor of society to the development of his political consciousness. His novel The Artamanov Business (1925) and his play Egor Bulyshov (1932) depict the decay and inevitable downfall of Russia's ruling classes. Gorky defined socialist realism as the "realism of people who are rebuilding the world," and points out that it looks at the past "from the heights of the future's goals"
were distinctive, but also because they stirred up our emotions and aroused us. By physiologically monitoring people during recall tasks, on arousing and neutral stimuli, researchers have found that arousing stimuli trigger the release of stress hormones. This causes neurotransmitters to increase activation of the amygdala, a brain structure that helps encode the emotional aspects of experiences into long-term memory. Outside the laboratory researchers have found that emotional arousal enhances autobiographical memories. The theory of flashbulb memory comes from Brown and Kulik. Flashbulb memories are recollections that seem so vivid, so clear, that we can picture them as if they were snapshots of moments in time and the curve of forgetting is far less affected by time than in the case of other types of memories. Flashbulb memories are most likely to occur for distinctive events that evoke strong emotional reactions and that are repeatedly recalled in conversations with others
meaning "ain't in the head." (Burge's real concern in the article is for mind, not language: to show that even belief contents are not in the head.) Chapter 5 1 "The fact is that absolutely all the contents of the Universe, absolutely everything that is at all, may be divided into two classes--namely into propositions, on the one hand, and into things which are not propositions on the other hand" (Moore 1953/1962: 71). Moore reported in an autobiographical note that he had once had a nightmare in which he dreamed that propositions were tables. 2 Though, like "idea," "concept" has also been used to mean a kind of particular mental entity. This equivocation has caused some confusion in contemporary cognitive psychology. 3 "Why does opium put people to sleep?"--"Because it has a dormitive virtue." That may sound profound until one realizes that the phrase is just transliterated Latin for "power of producing sleep
