With a touch of irony, the narrator exposes his helplessness and cowardice. Accompanied by the appearing of the mermaid, the ironic tone of poem turns tender, the scene has shifted from reality to imagination, and the narrator is no longer sophisticated but romantic. Moreover, because of the juxtaposition of the fragmentary scenes, the poem seems disorderly, however, the image of mermaid endows the poem an explicit structure in which the ＂waste land＂ theme is contained.展开更多

Access to the most up-to-date knowledge is therefore essential for the pharmaceutical companies in the competitive race to develop new proprietary drugs.

Andersen＇s story creates gender stereotype by under-representing the heroine as an effectual Actor and Sayer but establishing the image of the hero as a powerful Actor and assertive Sayer. Garner＇s story, on the other hand, tends to subvert the traditional gender stereotype by representing the heroine as a more dynamic Actor and Sayer than the hero and by reversing the power relationship between the two. These differing characterizations reflect the two competing literary traditions and embedded ideologies of romanticist fairy tale genre and modem ＂politically-correct＂ parodic satire展开更多
