anna akhmatova - was the pen name of anna andreevna gorenko, the leader and the heart and soul of st petersburg tradition of russian poetry in the course of half a century.
akhmatova's work ranges from short lyric poems to universalized, ingeniously structured cycles, such as requiem (1935-40), her tragic masterpiece on the stalinist terror. her work addresses a variety of themes including time and memory, the fate of creative women, and the difficulties of living and writing in the shadow of stalinism.
early life
akhmatova was born in bolshoy fontan near odessa. her childhood does not appear to have been happy; her parents separated in 1905. she was educated in kiev, tsarskoe selo, and the smolny institute of st petersburg. anna started writing poetry at the age of 11, inspired by her favourite poets: racine, pushkin, and baratynsky. as her father did not want to see any verses printed under his "respectable" name, she had to adopt the surname of one of her tatar ancestors as a pseudonym.
Nowadays, one of the most important things in teenagers life is education. Some people think there's nothing more valuable than education in 21 century. others believe there's plenty things that more important than it. Who's right?
In my opinion, education is really important for teenagers. Firstly, without education you won't find a well-paid job. Secondly, education can help you to make friends among smart, purposeful people. when you always deal with people, who have a purpose and constantly motivate you by their speeches, ideas and stories, you adopt their purposefulness, confidence, motivate to go on, way of thinking and even way of speaking.
however, there exist another point of view on this debatable problem. there's a fact that many people, who had low marks or even dropped out of school, build a really successful career and find their way anyway.
despite my respect for this opinion, I cannot share it because it is the way easier to get a good education and then just start building your career without any worries and global risks. there are not that many people who actually became successful without education, it's exception rather than the rule.
in conclusion, I would like to say that the problem of importance of education still can be discussed. however, as far as I'm concerned, education is one of the most important thing in teenager's life and everyone should put it first before it's not too late to build a great career and make your dreams come true.
