Fear And Pity Adam And Eve
1,262 wordsPeople argue about who the hero is of Paradise Lost: Satan, Adam or Christ, the Son?

OOP's idea of hiding data and functions that shouldn't be seen elsewhere can already be done in C, with the use of static variables and static functions, and proper use of headers. C doesn't have exactly the right functionality for this, in fact it's rather prim...

Juxtaposition In Rhyming Couplets Juxtaposition In Rhyming Pope
563 wordsPope skillfully uses the mock epic genre to satirize the triviality of his society through exaggeration, parody, and juxtaposition in rhyming couplets. The epic form inherently makes subject matter larger than life and Pope cleverly uses this characteristic to reveal the absurdity of the society he lives in. In his epic, he mocks misplaced importance by placing an event as inconsequential as the snipping off of some hair at the root of his action. In Canto III, Pope turns a simple card game into...
