Franz Kafka Hunger Artist
1,048 words
Franz Kafka Franz Kafka did not exactly live a
kings life. His life was full of frustration and
confusion. That is probably the main reason for
his twisted stories. He began life in Prague on
July 3, 1883. He was the oldest of six children.
Kafka had three surviving sisters; Valli, Elli,
and Ottawa; as well as two brothers; Heinrich and
George; who died in infancy. He was 6 feet tall,
weighed between 140 and 100 lbs. (fluctuated due
to illness), had gray-blue eyes, and had black
hair (Kafka 1). ...

Men And Women First Time

I was surprised finding out that the topic for our
paper was about our feelings of belonging to the
other gender. I think the title of the book Men
are From Mars, Women are From Venus by John Gray
applies to how different men and women are in
their attitudes, feelings and lifestyles. This
experience for me will be enjoyable for me since I
have never thought what it would be like to be a
female and also to hopefully give me a better
insight on a few questions that have interest me
about women sin...

own hesitation, paranoia, and desire to gain
revenge, he inadvertently sets himself up for the
tragic events that conclude the Shakespearean play
Hamlet. On account of his active participation,
and at the same time ignorance, his efforts to
serve justice are a failure. Three of his faults
are how he deals with: his fathers death, his
mothers marriage, and Ophelias love. At the
beginning of the play, Hamlet is already extremely
depressed and has be...

Eliot Main Character

Over time many opinions have been formed about
William Shakespeare? s work Hamlet. Yet through
the quagmire of confusion surrounding the tragedy
none have spoken than T. S. Eliot. Eliot sees
hamlet as somewhat of an artistic failure due to
its confusion between the main plot and the main
character. In his analysis Eliot recalls the work
of other authors who have talked the subject of
Hamlet. He states that many authors connect with
Hamlet and don? t come to realize their own
creative potential. ...

Learned Helplessness Identity Formation

In terms of goals, an incremental person is
usually eager to learn. At school, he is most
likely going to take difficult classes in hopes of
learning new things. On the other hand, an entity
person usually focuses more on performance, rather
than learning since he already believes that
intelligence is fixed. He would take easy classes
just so that he could get an A or a B in the
class, but he would not take a challenging course
which would teach him new things and expand his
knowledge. In terms ...

Reality vs. Fantasy Birches by Robert Frost is a
nostalgic poem filled with fond memories and
fantasies, yet at the same time the speaker
reveals his longing to escape. Frost sets up a
conversation with himself using dialogue between
his sensible, knowing self and his fantasizing,
nostalgic self. At first the poem seems to be just
an account for all of the birches leaning with
none standing straight. Frost would like to think
that a child at play bent the trees, probably to
