Lewis Carroll's Wonderland is a queer little
universe where a not so ordinary girl is faced
with the contradicting nature of the fantastic
creatures who live there. Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland is a childs struggle to survive in the
condescending world of adults. The conflict
between child and adult gives direction to Alice's
adventures and controls all the outstanding
features of the work- Alice's character, her
relationship with other characters, and the
dialogue. Alice in Wonderland is on...

Waiting For Godot Human Life
1,083 words
The purpose of human life is an unanswerable
question. It seems impossible to find an answer
because we don't know where to begin looking or
whom to ask. Existence, to us, seems to be
something imposed upon us by an unknown force.
There is no apparent meaning to it, and yet we
suffer as a result of it. The world seems utterly
chaotic. We therefore try to impose meaning on it
through pattern and fabricated purposes to
distract ourselves from the fact that our
situation is hopelessly unfathomable....

Henry Iv Part Sir Toby
1,024 words
In most of the plays written by William
Shakespeare there is always some act of revenge or
foolery. Whether it be in the gentlest of terms or
set out to hurt someone intentionally, it is
almost always present. Trickery can be seen in
many ways. It can be simply calling some one
names, or actually setting up a particular person
despite the fact he / she has done nothing wrong.
The two plays I found the strongest connections
with are Twelfth Night and Henry IV (part one).
These two plays, while to...

Black Hole Event Horizon
767 words
String theory is one of the most exciting and
profound developments in modern theoretical
physics. Unfortunately it is a highly technical
subject that can only be well understood using the
tools of Quantum Field Theory. It also doesn't
hurt to know some mathematics like Group Theory,
Differential Geometry, and Algebraic Geometry.
Needless to say this is prohibitive for most
people who are far too busy doing other things.
String theory is to be a theory of quantum
gravity, then the average size o...

Cognitive Psychology Freud Theory
1,006 words
Some would argue that all slips of the tongue are
Freudian slips. Indeed Freud and his avid
following of psychoanalysts would insist that all
slips of the tongue reveal the presence of
suppressed impulses or intentions. However, much
evidence has been found to refute this
psychoanalytical view; and it can be convincingly
asserted that all slips of the tongue are not
Freudian, and that there are other cognitive
reasons to explain these verbal slips. In Dr.
Freud's own words, "a suppression of a p...

... rds "boy" and ''man'' with respect to what
they say about a person's role and stature in
society. Similarly, use of the words "girl" and
"woman" has been important to the women's
movement. Not only are roles and statuses
reflected in language, but language seems to shape
a person's identity and sense of self. Language
concepts can raise mental fences around the
conceptions of self available to us and to others.

ignite the anger in the citizens of South Central
and cause the area to explode. One of the recent

Brother Jack White Men

I shivered, looking toward the street, where up
the alley through the tunneling dark, three
mounted policemen loomed beneath the circular,
snow-sparkling beam of the street lamp, grasping
their horses by their bridles, the heads of both
men and animals bent close, as though plotting;
the leather of saddles and leggings shining. Three
white men and three black horses. Then a car
passed and they showed in full relief, their
shadows flying like dreams across the sparkle of
snow and darkness. And, a...
