Bruce Dawe Apology For Impatience
683 wordsApology for Impatience for Gloria. On first reading, this poem seems quite incomprehensible. Out of context, the poem appears to be about love and relationships. Apology for Impatience was written in 1963 (wife dead? ) and it was written for Gloria, his wife. Dawe rarely uses a first person persona and it is through his use of the first person persona and the fact that it was written for his wife, that leads me to believe that Dawe was not just making a comment on love, but on his love for Glori...

Catholic Church Natural Law
1,095 words... or living a lie by hiding beneath the garments of a prescribed morality, is contrary to natural law. Homosexuals are not making each other, or society, bad or worse by doing what comes naturally to them. Surely, more harm has come from forcing these moral lepers to try and be what they are not. For example: A man knows he is gay but gets married, trying to put on the airs of acceptable social norms. He has three kids with a wife who wants to spend the rest of her life with him. Around the ti...

Alien Beings Find Ship
704 wordsIf up until now I have been saying about each book that it was the best book I have ever read, I was lying... because compared with this book they all come down to nothing. For four days I have been reading non stop all 370, or so, pages and that's a first for me in English or Hebrew. Highly recommended to all si-fi fans out-there. I find it hard to condense the plot of 370 pages to just a few pages, however, I will try my best. It all starts in mid-ocean, a group of scientists, each a specialis...

Order To Protect Heart Of Darkness
1,111 wordsIn the novel Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, the seaman Marlow tells a big lie to Kurtz's Intended. To Marlow [there] is a taint of death, a flavour of mortality in lies - which is exactly what I hate and detest in the world - what I want to forget. He hates and detests those who lie but lowers himself to doing it himself at the end of the novel. There are many reasons why he does this. Unlike the lies the Manager and the Brickmaker might tell to further their own selfish agendas, Marlow's o...

First Time One Hand
1,872 words"Tuesday night again. Time for another band practice", I thought to myself as I ate supper.

This was just the lie that resulted in the birth of the novel genre in Latin countries (Boccaccio, Le Sage, Cervantes) and its refinement in England (Defoe, Richardson). It needs to be added, though, that a number of more or less faithful Christians also tended to fall prey to this three hundred year- old vogue. The pinnacle of their output - serious, thoughtful, focused novels on strictly Biblical themes - can be classified as secondary...
