1,223 words
Date rape is a term used to describe a rape where
the victim knows the attacker, either closely or
casually, that frequently involves alcohol or some
other drug limiting the judgment of the
perpetrator and the defenses of the victim.
Although date rape is a forced issue, many

Oppression Of Women Mary Shelley
1,078 words
Mary Shelley put herself ahead of the
revolutionary movements in feminism in the early
nineteenth century. In her writing, she was
attempting to show the problems in her own society
in an age before others had begun to have similar
ideas. Shelley wanted a more balanced society,
increasing the power of woman, and decreasing the
stature of man. Victor Frankenstein's newest
creation, a monster, appears as such a horrible
creation that people often label it as evil before
ever giving him a chance. H...

Three Or Four Fifteenth Century
358 words
The strongest composers of the fifteenth century
were primarily located in the north. So the best
musicians tended to come from countries like
France, England, and Germany. Since Florence was
an "international headquarters" it had strong
commercial links with the north. This made it very
easy to trade ideas and because of this a new
musical expression made its way to Italy. The
frottola was a popular form of music that was
primarily developed in Florence. It was a setting
of an entertaining or s...

Black Power Movement Black Folks

Postmodernist discourses are often exclusionary
even when, having been accused of lacking concrete
relevance, they call attention to and appropriate
the experience of "difference" and "otherness" in
order to provide themselves with oppositional
political meaning, legitimacy, and immediacy. Very
few African-American intellectuals have talked or
written about postmodernism. Recently at a dinner
party, I talked about trying to grapple with the
significance of postmodernism for contemporary
black ex...

In the six hundred years that have passed since
Johannes Gutenberg first was first credited with
inventing movable type, periodical literature has
become a multi-billion dollar conglomerate that

place in one room and that, until the last act,
Nora is in every scene; she never seems to leave
the room everything comes to her. She is literally

takes place on Christmas Eve. However, though
there is a great deal of talk about morality
throughout the play, Christmas is never presented
as a religious holiday and religion as a concept
is later questioned by Nora in the third Act. In

A Reading of Donne's 'The Flea' Jimmy Breck-Mc Kye
Gordon College Cambridge University United Kingdom
It is common to ascribe to Donne the status of
archetypal logical poet- a man whose works are
tightly crafted, confident, and certain in their
application of metaphor and analogy. True enough,
Donne's poem seems to suggest a certain
self-security: we see a tight, predictable rhyme
scheme, and an ordered structure. There is also
arguably a wealth of rhetorical resources - Donne
does not shy away ...
