Man Of Great John Proctor
1,005 wordsOften in true tests of moral character where people are tempted to deceive, be dishonest, or take advantage of each other, there are few who truly succeed. The story of The Crucible gives one of the strongest tests of morality, where the truly ethical are punished and those of low morale are free to live their lives. The Crucible very well represents that when a situation is life or death human decency crumbles rapidly. The Crucible takes place in Salem, Massachusetts where religion and corrupti...

Poet Should Express 18 Th Century Nature
473 wordsRalph Waldo Emerson states in The Poet the question, which is what is the poet? He says that all men express their feelings, but what makes a poet is that he has more ability to express his own. For example, a poet would express the beauty of nature well, while men who are less expressive cannot give nature the worth it should be given, related to reality of course. A poet would talk, as well about the common wealth not his own wealth. What is meant by that is that he does not only convey his ow...

Gregor Samsa Gregor Life
778 wordsIn Franz Kafka's fanciful novel The Metamorphosis, Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning to find that he as been transformed into a beetle. As the story progresses, we can see that Gregor's life as a beetle is not all that different from Gregor's life while in human form. Because of this we have to ask ourselves Does Gregor Samsa qualify as a human being? I believe that Gregor does not qualify as a human being and had stopped being truly human long before his metamorphosis. Writers and philosophers ...

Lies In The Fact King Lear
1,125 wordsShakespeare's dynamic use of irony in King Lear aids the microcosmic illustration of not only 16 th century Britain, but of all times and places. The theme that best develops this illustration is the discussion of fools and their foolishness. This discussion allows Shakespeare not only to portray human nature, but also to elicit a sort of Socratic introspection into the nature of society's own ignorance as well. One type of fool that Shakespeare involves in King Lear is the immoral fool. Edmund,...

Civil Rights Movement Law And Order
1,419 wordsMartin Luther King Jr. s Letter from Birmingham Jail was a pleasure to read, and the tension of the civil rights movement during that time built quickly.

On reflection, I was able to understand and appreciate the way King expressed significance of the civil rights movement. This letter is unquestionable a work of art. It is not a simple letter, because it reveals a lot and shows a range of emotions, ...

Human Mind Love Song
1,180 wordsMusic was born in order for people to express their inner most emotion of which language could try to, but not fully describe. In having this ability to express raw emotion, I believe music is a form of language. Speech expresses passion only by means of the ideas to which the feelings are linked, as if by reflection. Musical sound and gesture reach the heart directly without any deviation... Music cannot be meta lingual, because a song cannot say specifically what the language in music is. I be...
