Campaign Finance Collective Action

... occurring. Rationally, each candidate is
running because they each want the chance to run
against President Bush for a chance at the White
House. Each of the principles can explain the
actions taken by the individual candidates and
enlighten us on what may be to come for the
primaries. If each candidate has the goal of
winning the primaries, they are going to do
everything within their powers and the rules to
get there. Campaign spending is a big issue here.

J D Salinger Museum Of Natural History
641 words
In The Catcher in the Rye, J. D. Salinger used
symbolism throughout the novel. Three major
symbols were the ducks, the Museum of Natural
History, and Jane Gallagher. They all represent
Holden in a way, and Salinger uses these symbols
very well. While Holden is wandering around New
York City, he asks many people about what happens
to the ducks in the pond when it freezes. I think
this really symbolizes Holden. He isnt really
wondering about the ducks, he is wondering about
himself. He wants to kn...

Oil On Canvas Everyday Life

On April 7, 2002, I visited the Menil Collection,
the Cy Twombly Gallery, and Richmond Hall. I
arrived at the Menil Collection at around 2: 00 pm
and stayed until approximately 4: 45 pm visiting
the three collections. As I drove to the museums,
I was challenged with normal Houston traffic
clutters, but nothing out of the ordinary. The
weather was musty, full of humidity in the air
with light sprinkling rain, and it seemed that it
was about to start pouring outside but never did
during my visit t...

Special Treatment One Man
517 words
In todays society this question has been raised
numerous times. Should we let polygamy be accepted
or should monogamy remain. In my point of view I
feel that we should abide by the monogamy marriage
meaning be limited to only one man or one woman.
Emotions, especially love and sexual desire, are
the result of a mans basic values. Thus he will
naturally respond positively to All the women that
he perceives to manifest those values. There is no
inevitable conflict between what a women feels for

Merriam Webster Middle Ages
1,149 words
Shakespeare's sonnet LV entitled "Not marble, nor
the gilded monuments" is a well-crafted poem. In
the first line Shakespeare uses a word, namely
gilded, that can mean more than one thing. I also
found this word of interest because I had never
heard of it. In the Merriam-Webster dictionary to
gild can have six different meanings; (1) to
overlay with or as if with a thin covering of
gold; (2) to give money; (3) to give an attractive
but often deceptive appearance to; (4) to make
bloody; (5) to ad...

Fourteenth Century Black Death

Played An Important Role Oskar Schindler

The paper I decided to do was on "Schindler's
List." I have seen this movie four times and yet
had not really noticed the many ways in which the
director, Steven Spielberg, used the camera to
emphasis a "million words." It was interesting,
when watching this film from this stand point, how
I was able to see the importance of the way the
director uses sounds and color to make some much
significant points of a film. I decided to
emphasis the way certain close ups and facial
expressions were used t...

Zeus Dionysus Semele Love

Dionysus, also known by his Roman name Bacchus,
which he appears to have two different origins.
Dionysus was the god of wine, agriculture and
fertility of nature, but on the other hand he also
represents the mystery in religions. Scholars
believe that this god came about later in
pre-history, unlike other gods. Almost all
barbarian nations had their own versions of
Dionysus under many names such as, Bacchus,

Adam And Eve Tree Of Knowledge
1,244 words
Paradise Lost written by John Milton is a detailed
version of the book of Genesis from the Bible.
Both stories revolve around a similar basic plot
however, in Paradise Lost, the characters are
portrayed differently in a negative sense.
Paradise Lost gives the character Eve more reasons
for being tempted into eating the fruit from the
forbidden tree. Eve is also given a more
submissive and unintelligent image in Paradise
Lost. The qualities she attains basically sets up
the stage for her to be th...

Repeated Three Times Road Not Taken Quot

Five Great Pieces of Thought I think Robert Frost
is a understandable, but yet an unconventional
poet. Frost wrote in his own style, and as a
result, he took quite a bit of heat from the
critics of his period. Frost has an elegant style
of writing descriptive and understandable poems. I
am going to tell you about the five best pieces he
has ever written. First off, " A Considerable
Speck" is a unusual poem about Frost noticing
a tiny speck on his paper. Upon further

Rape Of The Lock Lock Of Hair
1,135 words
Alexander Popes The Rape of the Lock engages the
reader by telling the tale of a beauteous young
woman who has been terribly wronged when an
amorous suitor purloins a lock of hair. He begins
his tale with an introduction, an apology of
sorts, to one Arabella Fermor. Pope makes light of
the fairer sex, and indeed poets themselves, as he
states... for the ancient poets are in one respect
like many modern ladies: let an action be never so
trivial in itself, they always make it appear of
the utmost ...
