Street Congregational Church, Cambridge, Mass. ,

life, in the life of every nation, when, under the
excitement of passion, the simple truths which in
common times are the foundation upon which the
right order and conduct of life depend are apt to
be forgotten and disregarded. I shall venture
tonight to recall to you some of these commonplace
truths, which in these days of war need more than
ever to be ke...

All Quiet On The Western Front
1,049 words
All Quiet on the Western Front Erich Maria
Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front is one

the war. The entire purpose of this novel is to
illustrate the vivid horror and raw nature of war
and to change the popular belief that war is an
idealistic and romantic character. The story

Confederate Army President Lincoln
1,266 words
The American Civil War was a war of epic
proportion. Never before and not since have so
many Americans died in battle. It was truly tragic
in terms of material losses, financial losses, and
irreplaceable human life. By January of 1865, the
war that started nearly four years earlier was
coming to an end. Federal (Union) armies were
spread throughout the south and the Confederate
Army had shrunk extremely in size. In the year
before, the North had lost an enormous amount of
lives, but had more tha...

Tons Of Tnt Power Of One

The detonation of a single nuclear bomb or
"warhead" would cause a local disaster on a scale
that few people in the world have seen and
survived. However, it should not be confused with
the effects of a nuclear war, in which many
nuclear bombs would be exploded. That would cause
the end of civilization in the countries
concerned, and perhaps over the whole world, as
well as radioactive contamination of whole
continents, and terrible damage to the environment
and ecology. The effect of a single b...

Coy Mistress Writing Process
1,740 words
Few would argue that on the surface level of
Marvel's "To His Coy Mistress" the speaker is a
lover advancing a conventional 'carpe diem' line
of thought. He systematically reasons with his
desired object about the futility of delaying
their interlude when the hours available to them
are limited, but the lyric may simultaneously
function as a metaphor for Marvel's endeavors as a
metaphysical poet. Metaphysical writers view
poetry as an intellectual exercise, an opportunity

Imagine this: The world no longer reads. Instead,
they sit around for hours and watch giant screens
at home, viewing mind-numbing programming with no
real intellectual value. Then, they get in the car

persecution. Most of them decided to come to the
US because of the opportunities they had heard
abounded in the US. One immigrant put ...
