York Random House Falls In Love
1,920 words
James A. Michener is often regarded as a literary
outsider. Despite his vast works that have sold
millions of copies and delighted readers
everywhere, his blunt approach to literature has
brought him much criticism. Despite his lack of
many literary vehicles to convey his ideas, his
works do contain several universal and underlying
themes. These themes can often be applied to our
lives and thought processes to benefit us for the
better. One of Michener's most apparent and
perennial underlying th...

Paul Ds Presence Significance Of The Number 124 Beloved
801 words
What is the significance of the number 124? Is the
number 124 merely a place or can it actually be
characterized as something more important in this
novel? In my opinion 124 is more significant than
a simple address. The number 124 can be
characterized as one of the main characters within
the novel. This number is not only significant
because it is the origin of the haunting character
of Beloved, but it is in fact Beloved the
character at various points within the novel. Once
the spirit of Belov...

Rise To Power Rank And File
1,779 words
There are different interpretations of how and why
Stalin was able to gain power, either
concentrating on his own actions and abilities, or
the situation at the time and the failure of his
opponents. It would appear that the success of
Stalin was due to both his own strengths and
actions in the political arena and the weaknesses
displayed by his opponents, in relation to the
prevailing circumstances of the time. Stalin was,
by opportunism or careful planning, able to gain
control of the party ma...

Animal Rights Activists Economic Growth
1,239 words
The world becomes a sad place when we allow
animals to be factory-farmed, treating them
inhumanely to be used for our pleasure. Yes, hogs
are mentally inferior to humans but that gives us
no right to force these horrible conditions on
them. God made humans to have dominion over
animals, with the proof in Genesis 1: 26.
Therefore, it is my opinion that we are supposed
to protect animals in the same manner as we would
protect a small child. Rush Limbaugh makes the
argument that factory farming is ...

Vietnam Veterans Destructive Behavior

... live off the land. It is not rare to find a
combat veteran who has not had a social contact
with a woman for years -- other than with a
prostitute, which is an accepted military
procedure in the combat setting. If the veteran
does marry, his wife will often complain about the
isolation he imposes on the marital situation. The
veteran will often stay in the house and avoid any
interactions with others. He also resents any
interactions that his spouse may initiate. Many
times, the wife is the ...

Good Vs Evil Moby Dick
511 words
In the novel Moby Dick by Herman Melville, the
apparent themes: good vs. evil, civilized vs.
uncivilized, and conventional vs. unconventional
are throughout the book, but they are not as
superficial as they seem. In treating the theme
good vs. evil, the apparent message is one of Ahab
being the innocent victim. A man disfigured and
tormented by a beast of nature. In juxtaposition
to that the whale can be perceived as being evil
because of what he did to man. However, if we are
to look at this ob...

Beatrice And Bene Censored 16 Th Century
1,851 words
Much Ado About Nothing illustrates a kind of
deliberately puzzling title that seems to have
been popular in the late 1590 s (ex "As You Like
It"). Indeed, the play is about nothing; it
follows the relationships of Claudio and Hero
(which is constantly hampered by plots to disrupt
it), and in the end, the play culminates in the
two other main characters falling in love
(Beatrice and Bena censored ), which, because it
was an event that was quite predictable, proves to
be "much ado about nothing." ...

Describes Old Leisure Personification Imagery And Diction Eliot
703 words
History has seen advancements in technology,
philosophy, and industry, all of which radically
changed the lives of those witnessing such
developments. Slower, more relaxed lifestyles have
given way to lifestyles of a faster paced nature.
George Eliot describes her preference for the
leisure of the past, conveying the message that
the rushed leisure of her time is hardly leisure
at all. She accomplishes this by using several
stylistic devices, including personification,
imagery, and diction. The ...

stanza refers to the younger generation whose
fathers and grandfathers had fought in the war.
When these children ask for some old war stories
then they must not be glorified thus hiding the
true horror of war, purely to satisfy their need
for some desperate glory. They must be told with
truth and the understanding that there can be no
glory in war, only immeasurable pain and loss. The

Life After Death Sense Of This Word

Loss of Significant Person (1) The death of a
loved one often constitutes a shocking experience,
on the part of just about anyone. This is because
people have a hard time, while rationalizing the
fact that the death of individual means the death
of his or her individuality. Only the people
entitled with the sense of intellectual honesty
are capable of perceiving death as being
absolutely natural in its essence, which in its
turn, allows them to cope with the loss of a
family member with apparent...

this book is written from the point of view of a
young, less than civilized character. His
character emerges as a very literal and logical
thinker who only believes what he can see with his
own eyes. In this section Huck's life with the
