Bitter Taste Pain Worth Girl
719 words
The greatest basketball player of all time was
once asked what made him so successful. Michael
Jordan then replied .".. I fail, therefore I
succeed." This theory not only applies to those
who fly, but also to mortals. When one fails the
bitter taste lingers forever, whereas, when one
succeeds the sweetness makes all pain worth while.
Sports are life, and in West Texas sometimes more
than that. In all my life I have always been on
the starting team, no matter what team it was. The
reason for this...

Nature Of Reality Material World

Metaphysical Ambivalence Walt Whitman's Song of
Myself explores the philosophical nature of this
world. By definition, metaphysics is the study
that seeks to uncover the nature of reality and of
being itself. In not directly committing to one of
the already accepted and more traditional
doctrines of materialism or idealism, the poem
suggests the existence of a more radical theory
that draws its support from both extremes of the
metaphysical spectrum. Whitman challenges the
notion that the nature...

Bottle Of Wine Langston Hughes

On the Way Home by Langston Hughes Although race
is a constant theme in Langston Hughes writings,
critics note his ability to write about
essentially racial themes while delineating the
personal circumstances of each main character
(Votteler 108). In On the Way Home, Hughes relates
a mans grief over the death of his mother without
specifying the race of the characters (Votteler
108). A close critique of the story proves to be
interesting. I will analyze On the Way Home, by
Langston Hughes, in te...
