Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy
1,187 words
To begin with I would like to put the introduction
of the book as an beginning: Far out in the
uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of
the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small
unregarded Orbiting this at a distance of roughly
ninety-two million miles is an utterly
insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-
descended life forms are so amazingly primitive
that they still think digital watches are a pretty
neat idea. This planet has - or rather had - a
problem, which was th...

Greek Tragedy King Laios
1,102 words
Since the beginning of time, man has used various
methods on which to pass down stories, beliefs,
and myths which explain different aspects of life.
From oral tradition, to pictographs, to clay
tablets, and onto paper, all compose the world of
literature. Literature has always been an infinite
realm of ideas, morals, and trains of thought.
Although the sphere of literature is encircled
with extreme diversity of thought, its core is
focused on one theme: man. All literature carries
with itself th...

Anti War Movement Point Of View
1,046 words
After reading through newspaper articles for the
year 1968, I realized that the year was quite an
eventful one. Politically, socially and
economically speaking, the country endured a great
deal of influential circumstances. Although the
studying of vast articles from the New York Times
succeeded in painting a clear, factual picture of
that turbulent year, I was still eager to discover
how incidents affected people growing up in that
era. This fueled my motivation to begin the
interviewing proces...

Heaven And Earth Ecco Il Made

We would speak first of the Puritans, the most
remarkable body of men, perhaps, which the world
has ever produced. The odious and ridiculous parts
of their character lie on the surface. He that
runs may read them; nor have there been wanting
attentive and malicious observers to point them
out. For many years after the Restoration, they
were the theme of unmeasured invective and
derision. They were exposed to the utmost
licentiousness of the press and of the stage, at
the time when the press and ...

Empress Anna Of Russia

Russia is a nation with a rich past and a history
of royalty that cannot be compared with any other
in the world. There were memorable rulers,
including Catherine and Peter the Great, and
rulers that Russia and the rest of the world would
like to forget, such as Ivan the Terrible. However
short their reign, or how seemingly insignificant
their actions, all have had an effect on Russias
history and have left plenty of colorful images to
be written down into history books. One can argue

Rhetorical Devices First Line
1,046 words
Great poetry is great not because of what it says
but because of how it is phrased. Few poems say
anything that is very profound; instead, the best
of them use language in novel, memorable, and
effective ways. Certainly this is true of Percy
Bysshe Shelleys famous sonnet England in 1819. In
this poem Shelley describes the depressing, dark,
and dirty state of affairs caused in Britain by
political, social, and spiritual corruption.
However, this poem would not be nearly as
effective if it were no...

Oedipus The King Biological Parents

Even though Oedipus the King didn? t detail all of

I think it was smart of Sophocles to pick out the
most significant, life altering phase in Oedipus?
life to bring to the stage. I also really respect
how Sophocles took the myth of Oedipus and put all
of the details of the story into it. I think it? s

supposedly happened and gave the people exact

in Maryland, a terrible thought occurred to me.
Jack had a melanoma in his belly, a malignant
solid tumor that the doctors guessed was the size

tumor, but they knew Jack would soon die. The

Social Democratic Party Ivan The Terrible
1,541 words
RUSSIA IN THE 1800 S Since the reign of Ivan the
Terrible, the Russian Tsars had followed a fairly
consistent policy of drawing more political power
away from the nobility and into their own hands.
This centralization of authority in the Russian
state had usually been accomplished in one of two
ways either by simply taking power from the nobles
and braving their opposition (Ivan the Terrible
was very good at this), or by compensating the
nobles for decreased power in government by giving
them gr...

power because he is stubborn, egocentric, and
unkind. Other than losing money and power he loses
his three daughters as well. Lears pride is so
overwhelming that he is unwilling to allow anyone
to contradict him. If anyone (besides his fool)
