Rasta's Marijuana Wisdom
494 words
Rastafarians acknowledge that their religion is
the blending of the purest forms of both Judaism
and Christianity; they also accept the Egyptian
origins of both these religions. In affirming the
divinity of Haile Selassie, Rastafari rejects the
Babylonian hypocrisy of the modern church. The
church of Rome, and even the council of Rome, are
considered to be particularly Babylonian: was it
not from this city that Mussolini invaded the holy
land of Ethiopia in 1935? Religions always reflect
the soc...

Socrates Believes Turning Point

merely to ascertain the ultimate truths, a noble
act for sure. In fact, Socrates believes that the
pursuit of truth is the most important work of
man. Besides, the youth following is not as a
result of recruitment but rather of their own free
will (23 cl- 2). In addition, on the actual charge
of corrupting the youth, when prodded by him to
give an example of these acts, none is
forthcoming. They present it in a general sense
lacking any specific ...

Gregor Samsa Short Story
1,679 words
Franz Kafka's short story The Metamorphosis deals
with a man who turns into some sort of insect,
resulting in a conflict between the household and
the transformed individual. Whether the man,
Gregor Samsa, literally or figuratively turns into
a bug is not known. The story is full of themes
and symbols that Kafka uses to make his story as
ambiguous, yet as comprehensible, as possible. In
fact, the symbols and themes are interconnected.
The most important theme is the idea of change and
alienation...

Kate Chopin Chopin Kate

The Awakening The novel by Kate Chopin is an
attempt to rebel against what is known in
literature and in life itself as masculinity. The
essence of the Edna Pontellier protest is that she
does not want to accept the traditional roles of
women in the society as those of the men
subordinate sub-group members and engaged in the
domestic affairs, growing up children and cooking
only. Awakening itself comes through the permanent
struggle with the conventional attitude towards
woman. Through the strug...

Death And Dying Kubler Ross

DEATH AND DYING All this time, I thought I was
learning to live, when all along, I was learning
to die. So said Leonardo da Vinci. We read his
words, smile and think to ourselves that they dont
really apply to us. Why so? Most Westerners run
from even the talk of death. True, people cry at
movies like Terms of Endearment when dying is
unrealistically romanticized. They weep at
funerals, cheer when the bad guys die on
television, and shudder at newspaper accounts of
catastrophes, though they soon...

King And Queen Soul Of Wit

In Hamlet, Polonius is a well-respected and
important person. It seems appropriate that he
investigates and controls the behavior of his son
Laertes and daughter Ophelia. He, as the Lord
Chamberlain of Claudius courts, is no longer a
private person but a public one. What he or his
children do has important communal, not just
personal implications. However, if his actions and
speeches are examined closer, it is evident that
he is a limited and vain person who is overly
concerned with his appearan...

EXPLICATION The Doubt of Future Foes by Queen
Elizabeth I The doubt of future foes exiles my
present joy, And wit me warns to shun such snares
as threaten mine annoy. For falsehood now doth
flow, and subject faith doth ebb, Which would not
be, if reason ruled or wisdom weaved the web. But
clouds of toys untried do cloak aspiring minds,
Which turn to rain of late repent, by course of
changed winds. The top of hope supposed, the root
of ruth will be, And fruitless all their granted
