Rules Are Made Brought To Death World
410 wordsMichael Foucault's writing in Right of Death and Power Over Life is one of the most confusing and difficult pieces of literature I have ever read. He thinks that the world was not created to have rules and laws; and by creating these laws we are just creating problems for the entire world. Foucault says that if a king were to wage war on his enemy, and required that his men fight, then the king is not directly proposing their death, because it was an indirect power of life or death. However if t...

Rose For Emily Reader Response
478 wordsWilliam Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" can have many different reader-responses, as any story can, however it is the responsibility of reader-response critics, like Robert Crosman, to determine if they are valid and helpful in understanding the story. "How Readers Make Meaning" is a failed attempt by Crosman to show that any reader response, no matter how far fetched, can be helpful in the interpretation of a story.

Rem Sleep Subconscious Mind

There is no proven fact on why we dream, which is why there are so many theories on the topic. There is Freud's theory that dreams carry our ...
