African Americans Vietnam War
633 wordsThe common theme in Yusef Komunyakaas poems is the Vietnam War. He focuses more on the experience of it, rather than the reasons for the war itself.

The first word of the poem foreshadows the insignificance of color and the value of brotherhood. Camouflaging the Chimera shows the dual, often diametrically opposed images. Recognizing that the horrific, absurd, and ch...

What Would Happen If The Moon Were Destroyed
1,095 wordsWhat would happen if the moon was destroyed? I have often wondered what would happen if the moon were destroyed and how it would be destroyed. Would a crazy scientist nuke it? Maybe an asteroid would hit it. Astronomers have catalogued all large objects in space that are larger than 500 kilometers in diameter and non-of them seem to be headed towards our moon. Based on this information, the only conclusion that I can come up with, was if the moon was to be blown up by some crazy scientist. Many ...

Bear Arms Machine Guns
1,516 wordsThere is a famous quote, which states: "Guns don't kill people, people kill people. " This quote is technically true. But if there are no guns, it will be a whole lot more difficult for people to kill people. Sure people could use different weapons such as knives and golf clubs to kill people. But the victim will have a significant better chance of defending him or herself from a weapon other than firearms. I was born in Tokyo, Japan and moved to the United States when I was six. I still go visi...

Relationship With God Traditional Beliefs
641 wordsBy insisting on complete orthodoxy is society only hurting itself? I believe when a society demands orthodoxy it is asking for problems. Orthodoxy to a small extent can be helpful to society, but when it is required by the people, and they demand it to the fullest it can do nothing but cause problems. There is many reasons whey complete orthodoxy only hurts society. First off, it greatly diminishes all forms of creativity among the people and doesnt allow for new ideas that can help benefit soci...

However, in William Faulkner's A Rose For Emily just the opposite is true. In Faulkner's story, the narrator has a limited third person point of view which allows the reader to dodge any emotional ties with Emily, the main character, and to form his own ideas about Emily's actions. Both storys...
