Destroy the Forest Gregg Easterbrook's Thesis
Nature itself is much older and wiser than the
human race. It knows how to adapt to its
surrounding and how to mend all its wounds. Man is
just another pretext for nature to evolve further
and learn new tricks of survival and it may be on
the verge of reasserting itself. (Easterbrook 650)
Nature is not ending, nor is human damage to the
environment unprecedented. Nature has repelled
forces of a magnitude many times greater than the

Law Abiding Citizens Drunk Drivers

GUN CONTROL A law to outlaw all guns would be more
effective at disarming law-abiding citizens than
at disarming the criminals who abuse them. If guns
were outlawed, the outlaws would not stop carrying
guns, but the good, law-abiding people would. It
would do nothing about the illegally obtained
handguns in the possession of criminals and
terrorist. Criminals and terrorists ignore bans.
The only two things passing a law of this nature
would accomplish would be to take away the honest
citizens ab...

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...

Contemporary Literary Criticism J Alfred Prufrock
1,450 words
The so-called Love Song The ironic character of
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, an early poem
by T. S. Eliot (1888 - 1965) in the form of a
dramatic monologue, is introduced in its title.
Eliot is talking, through his speaker, about the
absence of love, and the poem, so far from being a
song, is a meditation on the failure of romance.
The opening image of evening (traditionally the
time of love making) is disquieting, rather than
consoling or seductive, and the evening becomes a
patient (Sp...

In William Golding's Lord of the Flies, a novel

within the breakdown of all order and common sense
as a group of british boys stranded on a deserted
