1,249 words... it for his next victim to enter his store. The Ministry of Truth is a place where history and facts -- significant and insignificant are rewritten to reflect the party's utopian beliefs. They thoroughly destroy the records of the past; they print up new, up to-date editions of old newspapers and books; and they know corrected versions will be replaced by another, re-corrected one.

Divine Comedy Southern Hemisphere
417 wordsIn his lecture, Professor Mark Dantmore says that Purgatorio is "almost science fiction" to people of the time it was written. I find it very interesting that a book in the Divine Comedy, something the Catholics take as truth, might be described this way. Of course Purgatorio is a book largely dealing with Christian themes, but the actual setup was meticulously constructed to agree with scientific knowledge of the time. In fact, it was demonstrated in the lecture that the descriptions of the pos...

Emily Dickinson Love Themes
655 wordsLove Theme's in Emily Dickinson's Poetry In evaluating Emily Dickinson's biography and poems, I surmised that excluding the love of father, brother, and her deceased nephew, Emily's knowledge of romantic love, by first-hand experience, is questionable. The pure-of-mind reader may believe that what familiarity she had about love matters might have been based mainly on her extensive reading of literature. Emily was an avid reader and was particularly fond of, among others, Ralph Waldo Emerson and ...

Much of the challenge has been determining what of the information I could present.
