Censored Ing Second Stanza
1,280 words
This Be the Verse by Philip Larkin They censored
you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to,
but they do. They fill you with the faults they
had And add some extra, just for you. But they
were censored ed up in their turn By fools in
old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were
sloppy-stern And half at one another's throats. It
deepens like a coastal shelf. And don't have any
kids yourself. Lately, I have read a good deal of
poems by Philip Larkin, and one unifying factor
that I have not...

Music has been around for thousands of years.
Music appeals to everyone. When was the last time
you have heard someone say, "I hate all music. "?

all the crimes and murders in cities all over
America and heavy metal is being blamed for giving

Bob Dylan Black Man

On July 17, 1966, in Paterson, NJ, Rubin Hurricane
Carter was contending for the heavyweight boxing
title, when, one night, he was pulled over and
suspected of a murder. There was no evidence or
witnesses to prove the Hurricane guilty, but the
cops needed somebody to blame; so they fixed the
trial, and Rubin received the short end of the
stick. He was put away for life for a crime he
didnt commit. This is a true story. The song was
written by Bob Dylan to bring Rubin's situation to
the public. R...

Status Of Women In Islam
1,931 words
The Status of Woman in Islam The status of woman
in Islam constitutes no problem. The attitude of
the Qur " an and the early Muslims bear witness to
the fact that woman is, at least, as vital to life
as man himself, and that she is not inferior to
him nor is she one of the lower species. Had it
not been for the impact of foreign cultures and
alien influences, this question would have never
arisen among the Muslims. The status of woman was
taken for granted to be equal to that of man. It
was a ma...

Marilyn Manson Violent Movies

Why do parents blame celebrities for their
children's actions? Where are the parents?
Irresponsible parents use celebrities as an excuse
for their lack of interest in their children's
lives. I strongly agree that the parents should be
at fault. Parents who know their children's
thoughts and feelings towards things are usually
the best parents. If parents know what their
children are like, you should know more about
their personality. If a parent doesn't like what
their children watch or listen t...

School Shooting Video Games

Upon reading last Sundays issue of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, then scanning the Editorial Pages my
eyes were drawn to thick black letters entitling a
column Time to pick on bullies. This editorial of
Bill Thompson immediately laid claim that after a
school shooting, news follows that the shooter was
bullied by fellow students. Seeing where this
topic was headed, I was intrigued to read on.
After a short reminiscent review of how kids used
to either tolerate the ridicule, or as Mr.
Thompson wrote, ...

Responsible For His Own Death Trojans Into A Full Retreat Patroclus
1,085 words
The Fate Of Patroclus Throughout The Iliad Of
Homer, the constant theme of death is inherently
apparent. Each main character, either by a spear
or merely a scratch from an arrow, was wounded or
killed during the progression of the story. For
Zeus son, Sarpedon, it was a spear through the
heart, and for Hector, it was the bronze of the
mighty Achilles through his neck which caused his
early demise. It seems that no one could escape an
agonizing fate. Of these deaths, the most
interesting and intr...

Didn Acute T Black And White
1,579 words
I agree that Arthur Miller engaged the audience to
a large extent, and he also manages to get across
a historical story at the same time and prove a
point. I believe that through extensive character
detail he has made it possible for us to
understand exactly how the different characters
are feeling, and why they behave the way they do.
Miller also plays on our emotions by amplifying
our own faults through the characters, as in the
case of Abigail using the whole situation to her
advantage, and b...

Cyrano's Inevitable Destiny Who should take the
blame for this tragedy? In Edmond Rostand s Cyrano
de Bergerac, Cyrano is portrayed as a valiant hero
who exhibits humorous intelligence as well as
great generosity. However, if we examine the play
more carefully, we would find that Cyrano is
personally responsible for his downfall; his
constant aspiration for perfection and excessive
deception eventually leads to his death. Such
ornery behavior is exhibited when he adamantly
insists on being himse...

what we must have was a lot of them rotten chunks
thats called fox-fire, and just makes a soft kind

Ability To Control Narrative Voice

In Middlemarch, Middlemarch Rosamond Revisited In
Middlemarch, George Eliot presents a complex web
of characters and bonds that cannot be classified
into distinct categories. Dorothea and Casaubon,
Lydgate and Bulstrode, and Fred and the Garth's
represent a wide spectrum of human relations.
Rosamond Vice and Tertius Lydgate encompass one
such relationship. The relationship seems
transparent on the surface, but closer inspection
reveals a more complex core. Eliot creates a new

Day To Day Bugs Bunny

80 SOCIETIES SCAPEGOAT Youth crimes are on a
continual rise. It seems that everyday violent
offenders keep getting younger and more
aggressive. We turn on the news only to hear that
a ten year old mugged, shot, stabbed, beat or blew
up one of his peers. With crimes on the rise
involving children, people begin to look for a
cause. Society, when looking for a scapegoat,
becomes worse than a blood thirsty lynch mob at a
witch trial. Usually the most obvious source of
violence within a home is the t...
