1,048 wordsTaking a persons life is a serious matter. Some people think that a person who is in great pain should be made to suffer through it. People with serious illnesses, however, should be able to decide if they want to live through the pain of a slow agonizing death or die a quick, painless death.

Lives Of Women Chopin
1,359 wordsA Style of her Own Kate Chopin uses symbolism and realism to enhance her theme of social conflict in the lives of women during the nineteenth century. These conflicts seemed to travel from one woman to the next, unnoticed by the rest of society. Chopin used these conflicts as a basis for all of her short stories and novels.

Roman Polanski York Ny
1,256 wordsRoman Polanski incorporated religious themes into his films, A Knife In The Water (Poland 1962) and Rosemary's Baby (U. S. 1968). A Knife In The Water contains some Christian imagery that is not incorporated into the plot or theme of the film. In contrast, the central theme of Rosemary's Baby is religion.
