People Who Live Time And Effort

Petrarch once enlightened, Rarely do great beauty
and great virtue dwell together. Unfortunately,
sight is the main sense of mankind which is why
many people in the world are judgmental and cant
see pass the outside shell of people. Without mans
idealistic limitations of colors and shapes of a
persons outside appearance, the world would be
more virtuous rather than the cesspool it is
becoming as time progresses. It would not idolize
sexual attraction, cuteness, and conceit like it
does now. If t...

In the stories, The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest
Hemmingway and "Shipwrecked Sailor" by Gabriel
Garcia Marques, there are so many similarities,
like their losses and their love for the creatures
of the sea, that it its eerie. Although, there are
many similarities, there are also some
differences, such as the main characters' love for
the creatures of the sea. There are more
similarities in these stories than differences, in
my opinion. A difference between Santiago in The

Brothers And Sisters Olive Tree

As the mists of time part and show us the past we
see that even before the time of men, before our
puny struggles and trials, there was life on the
earth. If we look closely we can see the battles
of the Titans and the Olympians. Such battles as
men have never witnessed raged. Mountains were
cast down and trampled under the fierce feet of
the Titans. Thunderbolts pierced the sky and the
lightning crowned the ever-restless waves. Every
day brought another victory or defeat for the
forces involved...

Writers and philosophers of the Renaissance time
period expressed their opinions about human nature
and human's roles in the universe through their
writings. Pico della Mirandola's "Oration on the
dignity of man", which glorifies humanity and
praises the human ability to reason, offers the
opposing view to Shakespeare's Hamlet and
Montaigne's essay "Man's presumption and
Littleness" which both suggest that humans are no
higher in the universal order of things than any
other of God's creatures. P...

are many different types. Sharks arose about 350
million years ago and have remained virtually
unchanged for the past 70 million years and still
comprise a dominant group. It is thought that

Northern Hemisphere Food Shortage
875 words
The gray whale decline has been an eminent problem
for many decades. There are numerous reasons for
the gray whales to be in decline. Some of these
reasons include the whale hunting that occurred in
the mid 1860 s into the early 1870 s on the coast
of California (Jones, pg. 173). There are, to this
day, two countries that continue to ignore the
whale moratorium (Busch, pg. 103). Another reason
is the dead gray whales washing up on the shores
of the West Coast, which is probably due to their

As soon as I entered the house, my wife took me in
her arms, and kissed me; at which, having not been
used to the touch of that odious animal for so
many years, I fell in a swoon for almost an hour
(Gulliver's Travels, p. 292). This is Lemuel
Gulliver's account of his homecoming. After having
been away from his wife and family for many years,
it is difficult to understand how a man could
respond in such a fashion to his spouse, who had
received him with great joy and compassion.
