Narrow Minded Politically Correct
682 words
Dogmatic Tolerance = Hypocritical Tolerance. It is
a word synonymous with peace, good will, brotherly
love, acceptance and forgiveness. It is a virtue
that is essential in a world filled with racial
and religious discrimination. But at the same time
tolerance, or, more specifically, the modern,
politically correct definition of tolerance, holds
some very dangerous pitfalls which, if our
government, and we, as a people are not careful
of, could be crippling to the individualism, and
the religious...

Ethan And Mattie Pickle Dish
480 words
Symbolism can give additional meaning to a variety
of texts. From music to movies to novels,
symbolism creates an even deeper meaning than
found in a surface reading. The symbolism found
within Ethan Frome adds to the inherent meaning of
the text to give it an even deeper meaning. Edith
Wharton uses the pickle dish, the Oak tree, and
the cat as symbols to achieve deeper meaning. The
pickle dish is of great significance in the novel.
It is used to represent Zeena's virginity. Mattie
seamed to kno...

The Jerry Springer Show
888 words
Television has come a long way from the first
black and white silent show to its current craze,
which happens to be the television talk shows. In
the nineteen eighties, the daytime airwaves were
monopolised by soap operas and game shows but the
trend gradually evolved to talk shows towards the
nineties. Being before my time, research appears
to imply that the talk show intrusion of our
airwaves all seemed to start with the originals
such as Geraldo River, Donahue and Sally Jesse
Rafael. Surprisi...

Imperialism Representation In Conrad And Kipling
1,526 words
Imperialism sprung from an altruistic and
unselfish aim to take up the white mans burden and
wean [the] ignorant millions from their horrid
ways. These two citations are, of course, from
Kiplings White Mans Burden and Conrad's Heart of
Darkness, respectively, and they splendidly
encompass what British and European imperialism
was about at least seen from the late-nineteenth
century point of view. This essay seeks to explore
the comparisons and contrasts between Conrad's and
Kiplings view of impe...

Uv Radiation Skin Cancer

What causes melanoma? Scientists do not yet know
exactly what causes melanoma skin cancer, but we
do know that certain risk factors are linked to
the disease. Some risk factors, like smoking, can
be controlled. Others, like a person's age or
family history, can't be changed. But having a

Ode On A Grecian Urn Critical Analysis
501 words
First of all, when one starts to read this poem,
one cannot help but think that the tone is one of
happiness. In fact, in the third stanza, Keats
uses the word happy five times. The language of
the poem is very flowery and beautiful, and it has
the effect of lightening the deeper mood of the
poem. For example, in the line "A flowery tale
more sweetly than our rhyme: " (Keats, line 4),
Keats is talking about the tale told by the urn.
He is disguising it as sweet and flowery when, in
reality, it i...

Greek Tragedies Ancient Greece
739 words
One of ancient Greece s tragic plays in entitled
The Bacchae, written by Euripides. Many larger and
deeper philosophical views are expressed in the
play. The plot contains many speeches, and one
might think at certain points that they would be
the moral. The actual moral, however, is almost
impossible to define. Euripides uses a style of
writing that is heavy with surreal details that
are not present in other Greek tragedies. On page

Seamus Heaney: Physical and Mental Digging In the
poem Digging, Seamus Heaney seems to use his
fathers and his grandfathers digging into the
homeland ground as a comparison to his writing and
development of his poetry. Heaney's father and
grandfather use their shovels to work with the
land, and Heaney is now using a pen to work on his
ideas to write poetry. The beginning of this poem
starts out with Heaney describing what he might do
before he starts to write a poem. Heaney writes,

Rapid Eye Movement Stage Of Sleep
904 words
The subconscious is usually the right side of the
brain or the opposite side of the persons writing
hand. Within the subconscious lie different types
of things such as suppressed emotions, creativity,
and basic human instinct (Ullman and Zimmerman
1979). The conscious part of the mind works when
people are awake and is the part of the mind that
handles things that people can understand. No one
truly knows why a person cant interact with the
subconscious while awake, however studies show
that dre...

The Lasting Impressions of Frankenstein 9;
Frankenstein has had a lasting impression on
audiences since its publication in 1818. This
continuing popularity is for many reasons. On the
simplest level, Frankenstein is a novel that shows
audiences there is a way to defy death, but on a
deeper level it reveals many things about human
nature and emotion. This is why I feel the novel
has persevered through so many years and still
enjoys wide popularity. 9; Beginning on the

Hamlet And Ophelia Series Of Events
1,685 words
The Madness of Hamlet and Ophelia It was
fascinating to look at how many characters in
Shakespeare s plays poked at the brink of
insanity. It seems to me, the plays couldn t have
been tragedies if this didn t happen. In the plays
we read, important characters evolved into
madness, the plot thickened, figures died, and the
tragedy prevailed. It was really interesting to
see how this series of events would be an ongoing
theme in the Shakespearean plays. Even though the
same outcome was to be expec...

Act I Scene Iii Rest Of The Play
1,471 words
One Hamlet A Different Version One of
Shakespeare's great pieces of work, Hamlet, has
been divided to alternate versions Quarto 1 and
Quarto 2. Focusing on Act I Scene iii, apparently
the differences in these two versions are mainly
on the way the characters are formed and the
language that is used. Quarto 1 is a much more
compact version that has weakly defined characters
and uninformed language. As for Quarto 2 this lack
of complexity is not so. This version has a higher
quality of character d...

Heart Of Darkness Points Of View
748 words
The point of view from which a story is told
positions the reader to perceive experiences in
the novel from a certain perspective. This is
particularly true for Joseph Conrad s Heart of
Darkness. Conrad uses two first person narrators
within the text, one within the other; the
nameless frame narrator who describes the
happenings on board the Nellie, and Marlow an
interior character who narrates his adventures in
the Congo. These differentiating points of view
help to convey the symbolic signific...

Hip Hop Ain T
3,377 words
Spirituality in Hip-Hop Many people view hip-hop
from only a commercial standpoint. This would
force them to believe that since mainstream rap is
riddled with references to violence, sex, and
money, that there is a lack of reverence or
acknowledgement for God. This problem is remedied,
however, if one looks deeper into the sources of
hip-hop. Mainstream music is the sub-genre of rap
in which the consumers most readily purchase. For
rap, the ideas that sell the easiest are these sex
and money-fil...
