Heroic Qualities One Person
752 words
I read a novella with a collection of three
stories by Yukio Mishima. The first story was
called The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The
Sea, the second was called The Temple of the
Golden Pavilion, and the third was Confessions of
a Mask. I would enjoy talking about each of these
books individually, however I have far too little
room for discussions of a such a great feat of
writing. Instead I will point out the under lying
themes that manifest themselves in each story very
clearly. The most pr...

Oliver Twist and the Dark Side of British History
Progress can be compared to a coin. On one side of
the coin is wealth, and on the other side of the
same coin are poverty, despair, misery, and crime.
As Gertrude Himmelfarb explains: The Victorians
were avowedly, unashamed, incorrigibly moralists.
They... engaged in philanthropic enterprises in
part to satisfy their own moral needs. And they
were moralists in behalf of the poor, whom they
sought not only to assist materially but also to

Agreed Upon Threats World Order People

The country was ready to choose a person who best
represents us as our president. We watched the
debates, took part in opinion polls, we wrote
checks, and littered our yards with signs that
told the whole world that we were "involved. "
There are many people who base their whole lives
on politics. Some let it mingle in their religion,
others use it for job opportunities and others use
their politics to demonstrate their "moral" code.
These same people let their politics divide a

Margaret Atwood Canadian Literature
1,194 words
A victim could be described as a person cheated,
injured, or even fooled by circumstances. Yet it
seems that the idea of victimization has become a
symbol of Canada for Canadian authors. Margaret
Atwood explains in, The Victim Theory, that in
most instances of literature, the central theme is
bare survival in the face of hostile elements
(Atwood, The Victim Theory 77) Hence, for the
French Canadians after the English took over, it
became cultural survival, hanging on as people,
retaining a relig...

Suicide Off Egg Rock Suicide Off Egg Plath
994 words
Even in her earlier poems, Sylvia Plath displays
an unhealthy preoccupation with sex, madness,
morbidity and obscurity. There seem to be a number
of common themes running through all of Plath's
poems, which encapsulate her personal attitudes
and feelings of life at the time she wrote them.
Of these themes, the most prevalent are: sex,
madness, morbidity and obscurity. The whole
concept of sex to Plath appears to be a very
disturbed and resentful one. This is conveyed
strongly through the poem Ma...

Frankenstein Shelley Use Of And Feminine Roles
1,016 words
... semblance of her own gentleness. By contrast,
the creature unfailingly enrages Victor, causing
him to lose self-control and become violent.
Whilst the feminine roles are flat and manipulated
to affect the character and actions of the male
roles, the latter are considerably more defined.
As Elizabeth Fay writes, Shelley shows the
realistic weaknesses and frailties of men in the
novel. Walton is presented as sexist and selfish,
mocking his sisters fears for his safety in his
opening sentence: ...

Advertisers Sell Images Not Products

The definition of advertising is outdated. It was
previously, to endorse a product and praise
goodness to induce the public to buy. They are now
brainwashing consumers to buy their products using
images to sell the product. The advertisers aim is
to make the product look as good as it can through
an attractive image. There are statistics, which I
obtained from a Dolly Magazine, 16 th May 2000,
which proves that one out of four people in
Australia buy a product because of the image shown

the story is developed around the idea of the

Blindness In Oedipus Rex The Blind Leading
477 words
Some say that ignorance is bliss. Perhaps this is
true. If one is unaware of his or her wrongs, then
no guilt will be felt. Perhaps those who can't see
the forest for the trees do so because they fear
the truth. We all as human beings try to escape
the bad and ugly things in our lives, especially
that which is bad or ugly about ourselves.
Sometimes we all blind ourselves to the truth.
Oedipus Rex clearly illustrates this theme of
blindness, both literally and symbolically.
