Niccolo Machiavelli George Orwell
1,195 words
My focus is upon a piece by Niccolo Machiavelli,
an Italian prince from the renaissance period who
writes "The Morals of a Prince", and in an
opposite vein, an essay by George Orwell, an
English author and enemy of totalitarianism whose
essay is "Politics and the English Language."
Within these essays I have found a similarity in
which Orwell illustrates that 'political writing
becomes the defense of the indefensible, most
political writing is bad, where it is not the
author is usually a rebel w...

Feels That Nature Respect For Nature Thoreau
386 words
In Where I Lived & What I Lived For, Thoreau's
response towards nature is of admiration and
value. His respect for nature is almost religious.
This is depicted in the way he describes his love
and adoration for nature. Thoreau is surrounded by
nature and feels relaxed and relieved when he
comes across it. He seems to encounter a very
peaceful and quiet world in Nature. becomes a
lower heaven itself so much the more important

Blind Man Blurred Vision
857 words
The narrator in Raymond Carver's "Cathedral" has
two fully functional eyes, in which he chooses
never to use to their full potential. The eyes of
the narrator are biased, insecure, jealous, and
very limited in what they choose to see. This
inability to see is made apparent when he is
forced to meet and converse with a blind man. The
narrator's perception of the world around him, and
blurred vision, is resolved by a great irony in
the story when Roger helps the narrator see past
his prejudice out...

Acute Minds Human Race Overlords
1,170 words
In Arthur C. Clarkes novel Childhoods End, people
or beings use each other for selfish reasons.
Sometimes it is subtle, even subconscious; other
times it is a blatant usage. Three obvious
examples occur and kind of chase each other around
in a triangular fashion. 1) The Overlords use
humans / humanity . 2) The Overmind uses humans.
3) The Overmind uses the Overlords. Humans also
attempt to use the Overlords even though the
Overlords are omnipotent and seem to already have
humanity's fatal future...

Quest For Judgement In The Passionate Mans Pilgrimage
1,288 words
Sir Walter Raleigh's turbulent life in the British
court showed him just how cruel the world of
politics could be. When he was imprisoned in a
trial that was called a "mockery of justice"
(Williams 143), he became very bitter towards the
court of England. His anger and opinions were
expressed in his writing, and they helped to mold
his literary voice. Presumably penned in 1603 upon
his imprisonment and sentence of death, The
Passionate Man's Pilgrimage addresses the events
that brought him to hi...

The most important thing to understand is that it
is possible. Telekinesis is part of physical
reality, just as telepathy is. The next most
important knowledge related to achieving success

realizing that if one person can do it, any normal
person can do it, and that means you. There is a

Tao Te Ching Person Or Group
1,651 words
The philosopher Michel Foucault and the ancient
chinese sage Lao Tzu are separated by some twenty
centuries. This seems to be of minor consequence,
however, when it comes to the essence of their
ideas. Both figures deal with concepts that
explore the relationship between society and
power. Specifically, the ways in which social
bodies gain or lose power. In this paper, I will
use their ideas to support my theory that equality
is impossible in social interactions. These
interactions may range in ...

Coming Of The Age Aquarius

"New Age" is an astrological term, referring to
the coming Age of Aquarius as measured by the
precession of the equinoxes. There is no New Age
outside of an astrological definition. If one
refutes astrology the term is meaningless, and
there is no "formless but sinister impulse called
New Age" as Link Byfield of BC Report, April 6,
1996 put it, without a new age coming. New Age has

Contemporary Literary Criticism J Alfred Prufrock

The so-called Love Song The ironic character of
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, an early poem
by T. S. Eliot (1888 - 1965) in the form of a
dramatic monologue, is introduced in its title.
Eliot is talking, through his speaker, about the
absence of love, and the poem, so far from being a
song, is a meditation on the failure of romance.
The opening image of evening (traditionally the
time of love making) is disquieting, rather than
consoling or seductive, and the evening becomes a
patient (Sp...
