A widely used literary term that typically
portrays a particular theme in a novel is the
symbol. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Ian

fiction is a great example of the use of literary
terms in literature. One of the main themes

Hitlers Rise To Power
1,881 words
Who or what was responsible for Hitlers rise to
power? Many believe that there was only one factor
for his rise to power. Some state that Hitler
could not have risen to power in any other than
Germany, implying that he was nothing more than a
product of German culture. Others say that Hitler
made himself dictator by means of his political
genius. And yet still others claim that it was the

variation of things. It can be defined as a way to
be observant of the forms required for good
breeding. It can also be a means to the needs and
affairs of the general public. However, the latter
of the two definitions can also be stretched to
include a definition of the private rights and the
remedies sought by action or suit. The point is
that the...

... any, the first thing he saw was Jan. A small
girl, just five feet tall with a petite body and
blond hair, she stood on the opposite side of the
room, her legs spread apart in a shooter's-stance,
both arms straight out and rigid, holding a gun
aimed directly at him. He did not even have time

The announcement of the cloned ewe, Dolly, in 1997
by scientists in Scotland, was a shock to the

truly considered the likelihood that human
reproduction would fall so fully under the hand of
technology (1). However, once the reality of this
controversial practice set in, scholars and common

George W. Bush came out of his national convention
with a significant lead over Al Gore. One poll put
the margin at 17 points. While this is reassuring

a 17 point lead over Republican George Bush and
lost the election. One of the wild cards in this
particular campaign is the performance of the
national media, which has shown the ability to

The term laws of war refers to the rules governing
the actual conduct of armed conflict. This idea
that there actually exists rules that govern war
is a difficult concept to understand. The simple
act of war in and of itself seems to be in
violation of an almost universal law prohibiting
one human being from killing another. But during
times of war murder of the enemy is allowed, which
leads one to the question, if murder is
permissible then what possible laws of war could
there be? The answer t...
