World View One Main
825 wordsCan we ever decide whether or not a certain world view is righteous and true? The society we live in has become misguided and confused. One of the many issues that stands to be faltering our religious stance from getting where we want to be, is the question of whether or not atheism is a realistic world view.

Childs Imagination Involves Pirates Children
351 wordsPeter Pan is one of the only novels on the reading list which I was familiar with before this class. Again it is a tale of adventure and fantasy.

Brave Orchid Woman Warrior
1,167 wordsThe Woman Warrior, by Maxine Hong Kingston, illustrates the story of a girl trapped between the culture of her surroundings and the traditions her mother forces upon her.

The Brave New World Of Technology
1,362 wordsWhen thinking of progress, most people think of advances in the scientific fields, believing that most discoveries and technologies are beneficial to society.

Chain Gang Baby Suggs
1,319 wordsAnger, in all its sometimes raw, sometimes subtle, sometimes simple and sometimes sophisticated glory is an affect, which from the first line of Toni Morrison's Beloved (" 124 was spiteful") takes center stage. The true multi-faceted nature of this affect often goes unrealized because we tend to recognize an emotion through its responses.
