Maxine Clair portrays both arguments with her
energetic writing style. A blend of random

intense plot. Writing like this gives the reader a
more relaxed state and the book seems more alive
and real. In answer to the critique question,

abundant supply of foreshadowing, a collection of
narrators, a recu...

Plato Aristotle B C

Greek philosopher Hippocrates is Greek physician,
who is often called the father of medicine.
Despite the existence of an elaborate tradition
surrounding his name, modern scholarship
recognizes that actually very little is known
about his life, his activities, or his writings,
and what is known is based indirectly on authors
who lived at least 200 years after his death. The
only contemporaries or near contemporaries who
mention him are Plato, Aristotle, and Menon, a
pupil of Aristotle. The influ...

Ralph Ellison s Invisible Man depicts a realistic
society where white people act as if black people
are less than human. Ellison uses papers and
letters to show the narrator s poor position in
this society. Many papers seem to show good
fortune for the narrator, but only provide false
dreams. The narrator s prize of a brief case

falsehood: take this prize and keep it well.

Sixth Century Roman Church

Augustine Reconsiderations From his writings it is
clear how this bishop beloved by God lived his
life, as far as the light of truth was granted
him, in the faith, hope, and charity of the
catholic church, and those who read what he has
written about the things of God can profit
thereby. But I think that those who could hear and
see him speaking before them in the church could
profit more from him, especially those who knew
how he lived among men. [ 1 ] So wrote Augustine's
friend and biographer...

Sylvia Plath was a remarkable twentieth century
American poet. Her poetry focused on depression,
aspects on suicide, death, savage imagery,
self-destruction and painful feelings of women.
Plath attempts to exorcise the oppressive male
figures that haunted her life served as one of the
fundamental themes in her poetry. Her poetry is a
good example on how suffering and transformation
could be within traditional poetic contexts
(Initiation p. 142). She also believed that a poem
must give an express...
