Athenian Women Physical Training
980 wordsIf you were a woman how would you rather be treated? If you are the relaxed, dependent type, perhaps you would find the life of the typical Athenian woman agreeable. Athenian women spent most of their lives indoors doing mostly domestic activities. But if you are an independent type of lady, who enjoys exercise, not overly modest, and do not mind sharing your bed with more than one man, then you would probably enjoy the life of a Spartan woman. The basic similarity between the lives of the women...

Carry A Concealed Gun Control
692 wordsOne of the most hotly debated topics today is gun control. But what exactly is gun control? Is it making it so hard to own that it takes away from the game or leaves someone in fear of not being able to protect themselves? Could it be that it is there to protect the innocent from being gunned down by a lunatic? All these are good questions and that is why the topic is hard to define, both sides have their own feelings on the issue and it is hard to find a happy medium between the two, but one mu...

The Last Poets who use a combination of spoken word and music in their song "Niggers Are Scared of Revolution" exemplify this. The song addresses apathy in the black comm...

Learned The Importance Of Optimism Importance Of Optimism Hiking
762 wordsI began to grow up one summer afternoon, alone, in the middle of the woods. I had signed up for a week-long hiking trip on the Northern Superior Hiking Trails in Minnesota; my hiking team consisted of three girls, four boys and two experienced hikers. The trip was designed "to build character" and although I wasn't sure what that meant, I thought it might be fun and adventuresome.

National Rifle Association Involving Guns

Years Older Six Years
1,308 wordsA person's trust is something that is coveted by many and seldom gained.

Life Or Death Unwanted Pregnancies
918 wordsToday, 27 years since the legalization of abortion, over 30 million legal abortions have taken place in the United States.

In this paper, I will address many of the issues why it should be banned. I do not assume that I will change a pro-choice person's mind, though I do at least hope to make some people think, and if I change ...

1,073 wordsWhy is it that people fawn Shakespeare and have unreasonably high regard for his works, including The Tempest, and label them as "immortal classics"? Indeed Shakespeare's works had great significance in the evolution of English literature, but these works, including The Tempest are mostly devoid of significance and literary value in the present day. One can expect to gain little educational benefit of the english language or heightened appreciation for fine literature from the reading of Shakesp...

Clearly, the injustice done by the simple misnaming of someone is unbelievable. After witnessing all of these names which bare no true meaning, as well as possibly degrade a person's character, Marlow understands that he can not continue in his former ways of mindlessly giving random names to something in fear of diminishing the essence of ...

2 Nd Amendment Bear Arms
472 wordsDear Legislator, I am writing on behalf of my thoughts and myself about gun control laws. My position on this topic is neutral leaning towards the "No Gun" law. The idea of a federal law to ban these guns is a good idea, but it could be better. I believe strongly that guns should be banned from our country in some kind of way, but there are exceptions like for law enforcement and hunters. This law could lower the murder and death rates drastically. The US would be a whole different and safer cou...

Cherry Orchard Face Reality
928 wordsIt is very difficult to pigeonhole the modern drama into a tragedy or a comedy. A drama can be either of the two in two ways: either its vision of life is tragic, or the form used to present that vision is essentially tragic 2. The sense of life pervading the world of The Cherry Orchard is tragic but there are some elements in the play due to which the tragic sense does not completely permeate the atmosphere of the play. Consequently the tragedy masquerades on the stage as a comedy. Critics who ...
