The Bell Jar Cancer Versus Depression
1,962 wordsIntegrated into the story of The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath is a "case history" of a depression patient, from it's subtle beginnings to it's terrifying consequences to it's shaky resolution. On the subject of this depression, there is an article written by William Styron which, in the course of describing his own dealings with the disease, he compares it to cancer.

Is Huck Finn A Racist Book
749 wordsControversial in death as he was in life, Mark Twain has been accused by some of being a "racist writer, " whose writing is offensive to black readers, "Perpetuates cheap slave-era stereotypes, and deserves no place on today's bookshelves.

Allusions To Nature Father And Child Death
1,177 wordsIn Gwen Harwood's poetry, the changes in an individuals perspective and attitudes towards situations, surroundings and, therefore transformations in themselves, are brought on by external influences, usually in the form of a person or an event. These changes are either results of a dramatic realisation, as seen with shattering of a childs hopes in The Glass Jar, or a melancholy and gradual process, where a series of not so obvious discoveries produces similar reformation. An example of the later...

Jar Jar Movie Chopped

So instead of doing something cool like having the robots chase after screaming children, they bitch and moan and say things like 'ow' when they get their prosthetic limbs chopped off. Even worse are the idiots who scarf down these sub-childish morsels of comedic relie...

Red Figure Ancient Greek
2,325 wordsIn the absence of significant examples of the major art of Greek painting, pottery has assumed an importance even beyond its own great intrinsic value. During certain periods and in certain localities the vase-painter was not content to decorate his pots with simple lines and plant motifs.

Moreover, occasionally these vase-paintings are of the highest quality, and this is especially the case in the At...

Tao Te Ching Human Nature
497 wordsHuman nature is the disposition of man. That is a fact. Where, when, or how human nature arises is where the question lies. Sarte believes that man starts with nothing and that he acquires an essence through living. The Tao Te Ching, on the other hand, promotes the idea that the essence of human nature is found and implanted within the soul. These two points regarding the issue of human nature are poles apart, but if read into deeply enough, one can see that they both have the same aspiration. T...
