capture perfectly the very essence of life, while
conveying lifes significance as communicated to
the reader in light tones of consciousness

Faith In God Golden Carp

Life is a battle between faith and reason in which
each feeds upon the other, drawing sustenance from
it and destroying it. Reinhold Niebuhr (18921971),
a famous American theologian, wrote this
quotation. It is Niebuhr who understands the
concept of faith and accepts it as reality. What
binds faith into reality is the decision to
believe. Faith is more than a concept of belief
and disbelief; it is the comfortable acceptance of
truth; however, the insecure nature of belief
sometimes causes faith ...

Seize The Day Coy Mistress
866 words
Andrew Marvell is famous for his poem, To His Coy
Mistress. Marvell is viewed by many as being a
chauvinist. This is a typical carpe diem poem
where the writer encourages his love to seize the
day. He is basically trying to coerce his love
into physical intimacy. In modern times, Marvell
seems like a chauvinistic jerk, particularly in
his selfish nature. However, I agree with a lot of
what he stands for in the poem such as not taking
the present time for granted. More than I feel
time should not...

and create something that seemed to be missing
from the newly born nation. He took this
responsibility seriously and made a mythology that
founded an American literary tradition. He took

place where everyone works hard and no one has too

Andrew Carnegie Competitive Nature

Even before the beginning of the twentieth
century, the debate between socialists and
capitalists has raged. In The Jungle, by Upton
Sinclair, he portrays capitalism as the cause of
all evils in society. Sinclair shows the horrors
of capitalism. In The Gospel of Wealth, by Andrew
Carnegie, he portrays capitalism as a system of
opportunity. However, both Carnegie and Sinclair
had something to gain from their writings; both
men had an agenda. Capitalism and socialism both
have advantages and pitfa...
