Like the huge stone statues of Easter Island and prehistoric cave paintings of Altamira and Lascaux, North American Indian rock art is surrounded by an atmosphere of mystery. Although examples of rock art exist at some 15000 sites in canyons, deserts, caves and river gorges. Nowadays, however, primitive rock art in the United States has become a new field of scientific study. Klaus F Wellmann wrote two books about rock art. He is a professor of medicine. Rock art represents the history of aboriginal Americans. In the most cases the art is an expression of ideas and way of life, ritual ceremonies, hunting, fighting. The pictures of people and animals are often strikingly lifelike and artistic. Many of these ancient relics have been destroyed by the ravages of nature and of man. Wind and water have worn away and continue to wear away, unprotected sites.

Dolly has discovered his affair - with the family's governess - and the house and family are in turmoil.

In the poem it is considered very essential to bear in mind both past and future, it is wisdom. But true understandings, and especially a correct anticipation of future events, are things not easy to achieve in an uncertain world. For example, as a young man of little experience determines to give the unarmed Grendel a sporting chance by himself using no weapons (which proved to be a fortunate decision, since Grendel is protected by magic against all weapons). Things go Beowulf's way. Conversely, as an old man fighting with the dragon, he is wrong expecting that he can survive as he always did. They both are doomed to death. `Fate goes ever as it must' says the poet. The course of life cannot be predicted with any certainty

Anna's not switching from vy to ty with Gurov is an obvious reminder to readers Greenberg unconscious After presenting these details, Chekhov subtly weaves in Gurov's mind an associative link between his daughter and Anna: 'As he went to bed he remembered that she had only recently left her boarding school, that she had been a schoolgirl like his own daughter' Every time the voices of his children doing their homework reached him in his study in the stillness of the evening, every time he heard a popular song or some music in a restaurant, every time the wind howled in the chimney -it all came back to him: their walks on the pier, early morning with the mist on the mountains, the Theodosia boat, and the kisses.
