Face To Face Long Time
1,392 words
An interesting short story is Letters from The
Samantha by Mark Help. This story tells the
fascinating tale, in the form of never sent
letters, of an ape brought aboard an iron-hulled
sailing ship in 1909 by Samson Low, the ships
captain. Although the author makes a point to tell
the reader, through Samson Low, that the animal
does not symbolize anything or mean anything, in
fact, He stands for nothing (280), several
arguments can be made to contradict this. One
could argue that the ape symboliz...

Gave Birth Early Days

Why would I do a paper on the New Jersey Devil?
The answer to that is quite simple. Ever since I
was a little child, I would travel on Route 206 to
the shore, this road slices the pines all the way
from Trenton to the Shore. Many thoughts entered
my mind during this long drive. Will the beach be
crowded? Will the salt water make me gasp as I
stick my feet in? Will I hear the bells of the ice
cream man? But as I asked myself these questions,
I could not help to stair into the dense rows of
pines....

Victor Frankenstein Mary Shelley

In the tale of Frankenstein, written by Mary
Wollstonecraft Shelley, the creature is a symbol
of evil, whose only desire is to destroy lives.
Rather, it was the initial rejection of his
creator that lead to his thirst for the
vindication of the unfairness with which he had
been treated. It is a general belief that man may
be evil, but Mary Shelley believes that all men
are born good and corrupted by the evil that
already exists is society. The creation of an

De Lacey Family Nature And Nurture
483 words
Nature and nurture are both major contributors to
the development of the monsters behavior; however
Shelley uses Rousseau's theory on the natural man,
who is born free and good but is corrupted by
society, to prove that nurture is the leading
factor which forms the creatures behavior. An
example of the creature being free is when he
explains that before society he ate, slept and
acted like an animal; eating berries and nuts,
drinking from the brook and sleeping in the woods.
Through these action...
