Summary

"Closure Impact" examines how literary endings profoundly shape a story's meaning and the reader's experience. It argues that the conclusion isn't just an afterthought but a crucial element that retroactively influences the entire narrative, affecting the reader's satisfaction and interpretation. This academic exploration delves into how authors employ various narrative resolutions and the resulting cultural and psychological impacts. For example, a neatly resolved ending may provide comfort, while an ambiguous ending can spark further reflection.

 
The book progresses by defining key terms and outlining the theoretical framework of narrative closure. It then explores specific types of endings such as open, closed, ambiguous, and ironic resolutions. Each section analyzes exemplary texts, drawing upon diverse literary works to showcase narrative strategies.

 
The prevalence and preference for particular types of endings are subject to cultural shifts and evolving literary conventions. This study takes a unique approach by focusing on the impact of endings, rather than simply categorizing them. It emphasizes the active role of the reader in co-creating meaning. By understanding how different endings shape interpretation, writers can consciously manipulate narrative closure to achieve specific artistic and thematic goals, leading to a richer, more nuanced understanding of the work as a whole.

    Career, love, security, family, country, social cause, reform, revolution, ideology, entertainment, self-reinvention, pursuit of the unknown. Have you ever noticed how these things shape the years and decades not only of our own lives but of humanity, right through old age, regardless of demographic, cultural, and professional differences? Have you ever noticed how all of us - the living, the ancestors and posterity - tread the exact same path across time, from generation to generation, century to century, without ever getting past that one common denominator: our own self-interest? And, what kind of society have we built around our self-interests? Not only are we not profoundly better people but we have also destroyed each other and the world.  
    Long with me, dear friend, to go beyond our self-centered psychological needs, including righteous ones as self-awareness and self-actualization, and to tap into what undoubtedly is the calling of our time: co-operation. At this critical juncture in human history, let us find out what it takes to bring about a level of co-operation unknown to humanity - in allfields including relationship, academia, diet, and environmental change - without which the world stands no chance. 
    This is not a spiritual self-help book but an invitation to free oneself from psychology, in all its traditional and modern forms, so that a new world is built right in the heart of our highly destructive society.

       Humanity has been given the unique capacity for developing higher consciousness. In “Where in the World is God”, I observe the life of humanity in the culture of today’s world, and assess the most energetic movements of the Universe being lived out through humanity. These movements reflect the current consciousness of humanity. 
        The book is compiled of three parts. Part 1 traces the development of religion, its encounter with science, and the later merging of both with psychology at the point of consciousness. Part 2 examines the most energetic movements of the Universe being lived out through humanity today. Part 3 draws together the findings explored in Part 2, teasing out the main “living ideas” that appear throughout the chapters. This section is more philosophical, reflecting on deeper movements within the ideas, choices, actions and processes of humanity as a whole.

    Rome's Greatest Generals -...

    The rise of the Roman general was a gradual yet transformative process that shaped the very foundation of Rome’s military might. In the early days of the Roman Republic, military leadership was closely intertwined with social status and political influence. Unlike later periods where generals held almost absolute power, early Roman commanders were often aristocrats or elected officials whose primary duties lay not only in warfare but also in governance and civil administration. 
    One of the pivotal aspects that shaped the rise of the Roman general was the evolution of military traditions. Initially, Rome’s military structure was heavily influenced by the Etruscans and other neighboring cultures. Early Roman armies were comprised of citizen-soldiers who fought primarily to protect their homeland rather than for conquest. Generals were typically chosen from the patrician class, and their leadership was seen as both a duty and an honor. As Rome expanded, the need for a more organized and strategic military became apparent, leading to the emergence of commanders who were not just noblemen but skilled tacticians. 
    The social and political influences on the role of the general were significant. During the Republic, the Senate played a crucial role in appointing generals, often selecting consuls or appointed military tribunes. These leaders were expected to exemplify Roman virtues such as bravery, discipline, and piety. The successes of early generals not only brought personal glory but also bolstered their political careers. Victorious commanders could parlay their military achievements into political power, as evidenced by figures like Scipio Africanus, who leveraged his triumphs against Carthage to gain influence within the Senate.

    A pivotal moment in American history, as told by our forefathers 
     
     
     
    On October 7, 1780, American Patriot and Loyalist soldiers battled each other at Kings Mountain, near the border of North and South Carolina. With over one hundred eyewitness accounts, this collection of participant statements from men of both sides includes letters and statements in their original form—the soldiers' own words—unedited and unabridged. Rife with previously unpublished details of this historic turning point in the American Revolution, described as the war's "largest all-American fight," these accounts expose the dramatic happenings of the battle, including new perspectives on the debate over Patriot Colonel William Campbell's bravery during the fight. Robert M. Dunkerley's work is an invaluable resource to historians studying the flow of combat, genealogists tracing their ancestors, and anyone interested in Kings Mountain and the Southern Campaign.
