Captain Smith Gave Birth
2,536 words
I have always been intrigued by the Titanic, but
my interest boomed with the recent development in
how the side of the ship was damaged. I was amazed
that instead of causing a gaping wound, as was
previously believed, the iceberg that Titanic hit
merely caused a series of small rips in the side
of the ship. Sonar was used to determine that the
side of the ship had six small slits that were no
bigger than a single hand (web). This research
amazed me because of the amount of water that
passed thro...

Naturalism And Stephen Crane The Open Boat
1,769 words
Naturalism is frequently cited as one of the
dominant literary movements of 19 th century
America. Naturalism aimed at a detached,
scientific objective portrayal of a natural self
controlled by instincts and ruled by passion.
Since a self was not perceived to have free will,
naturalism debunked moral judgment. Historically,
naturalism is perceived to have been more
inclusive but also less selective than realism
(Hart 525). Naturalism was boxed-in by a
determinism established by Darwinian theory ...

understanding the soul, we notice that society has
the ability to bring out our savage sides. At
times, this evil side has the tendency to breakout
during times of isolation from our culture or when
we notice great differences between cultures.

Code Of Conduct Lord Byron

65279; DEMOCRATIC OUTLAWS? Pirates, the outlaws
of the sea. If like me, the first idea that comes
to mind regarding pirates is a group of raiding
and plundering individuals. This is due to today s
society glamorizing the pirates as fascinating
characters. Historically, not much written
information has been left behind. The pirates did
not leave ship logs or accounts of plunders,
because it could be used to incriminate them.
Society today has invented the pirates to fit a
romantic mold. Theref...

Francis Coppola Movie Apocalypse Inside Every Human
