Present Situation Sit Back
907 words
It seems as though all we hear on the news lately
is bad news. So it goes, right? After all, if we
took to heart all the tragedies that occur
everyday in the world we'd never get out of bed in
the morning. We would have an overload of grief so
heavy that we'd probably all die of a broken
heart. What we sometimes forget is that for every
action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Likewise, every time someone dies another is born.
Every time a marriage ends in divorce, a newlywed
couple celeb...

powerful views, and songs were of peace or of
governmental corruption, and plays or movies were
about gruesome wars in strange jungles. This was a
time to express reality in words. Then came the

Rose For Emily 1 St Edition

A Rose for Emily A Rose for Emily might be
interpreted in so many ways. Author stresses that
A Rose for Emily is a ghost fairy-tale. On the
other hand, the plot of the story has lack of any
abstracts dedicated to a straight demonstration of
ghost, therefore it is difficult to support
Faulkner's point of view. In spite of it, the
stories there are elements such as sense of times,
few episodes, and some other evidences for
Faulkner's tale. The Griersons home represents a
shift from old to new by h...

Thebes after the murder, though he did kill
someone, he is ruled out as a suspect of Laios?
assassin. In another...

Jane Janes Denial
482 words
Jane Eyre is a novel about struggle of a little
governess for self-realization and
dream-fulfillment. In that determined and almost
obsessive struggle Jane appears as a self-involved
person in an absolute denial of the world around
her. This particular layer of Janes complex
personality is important because it shades a
general course of the novel. At one point it even
raises social and moral issues from the standpoint
of Victorian conventionality. In this passage I
will show in which way Jane ex...

Hester Prynne Arthur Dimmesdale

No one is perfect and no one is exactly the same.
Everyone sins, and that includes telling lies.
Most everyone lies at some point, whether it be to
cover something up or just make someone feel

afraid of being judged in a bad way, so if a
person does something sinful or shunned upon, they
lie about it to keep their reputations protected.
This opinion based on another's life decisions is
a hypocritical decision. We dont want it happening
