000 Years Ago 100 000 Years
1,057 words
Anthropologists today are debating two sides to
the story of the evolution of the modern human
Homosapian spin. The sides agree on two different
theories called the Out of Africa theory and the
Multiregional (or Candelabra) theory. The debate,
which some may call a slanderous argument, is far
from being resolved on either side. Both
evolutionist sides have strong evidence, however,
this evidence does have its flaws and is not
accurate enough to prove one side over another.
However, the arguments...

Social Relationships Political Forces

... indeed, a mythology about childhood. On the
one hand, children are seen to possess a natural,
spontaneous creativity, which is somehow released
by the machine; while on the other, children are
seen as vulnerable, innocent and in need of
protection. Ultimately, both positions are
symptomatic of the chronic sentimentality with
which our society views children - of the very
limited and limiting ways in which we construct
the meaning of childhood, and thereby constrain
the lives of children. At ...

Every year our nations wetlands have an estimated
loss of 117, 000 acres. This means every five
minutes an area the size of a football field is

isolated wetlands, bogs of the Northeast,
bottomland hardwood forest wetlands, and playa
lakes. Isolated wetlands consist of small,

Nineteen Eighty Four Animal Farm
1,108 words
Animal Farm was written between November 1943 and
February 1944, but was not published until August
1945, principally as a result of political
objections that arose over the book's attack on
Stalin and the Soviet Union. It was turned down by
a number of publishers in England (including T. S.
Eliot at Faber and Faber) and America. One
American publisher rejected it because, he said,
Americans were not in the mood for animal stories.

of the urgency...

Great Leader Henry V

English 283 discusses many themes of British
Literature, covering novels from ancient to modern
times. These themes are evident in the personality
of the main character, usually the hero, of each
novel. These themes include loss of a close
friendship and great displays of violence.
However, one prominent theme in most of the novels
is that the hero waits until the moment when he
most needed to become a leader. The hero often
begins as a quiet character and then transforms,
by taking authority an...

Alice In Wonderland Identity Crisis
729 words
Identity Crisis Loss of innocence is often a theme
in stories that center on a single, isolated child
who is struggling to grow up. However, a theme
authors often overlook is the loss of identity
that accompanies such a lonely journey. In Lewis
Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, the author portrays
the transition from childhood to adulthood as a
lonely, traumatic experience. Exaggerated growth
and shrinking represent the changes Alice endures
but cannot come to terms with. Carroll intends to
show th...

Society And Culture Aggressive Behavior

There are different reasons why a person may act
aggressively towards other human beings. The
person may act this way because of his culture or
the way he was brought up in society. The person
does not, however, act this way based on instinct
alone. Aggression is a molded, learned behavior. A
human being must have both environmental and
instinctual factors in order to display
aggression. Some of a person's natural instincts
are to desire food, reject certain things, escape
from danger, fight whe...

J D Salinger Catcher In The Rye

There's far more to the censorship issue than a
ban on sex and four-letter words. I sometimes
think that those of us who need to be the most
clearheaded about these matters are planting the
very trees that obscure our view of the forest, "
says Dorothy Briley. According to Briley, a vast
amount more is needed than simply vulgar language
and suggestive material to censor a novel. But
this is the very reason why J. D. Salinger's The
Catcher in the Rye is frequently being banned from
high schools. ...

Comparing Young Goodman Brown And Bartleby The Scrivener

In the stories Young Goodman Brown and Bartleby,
the Scrivener, I find myself more sympathetic to
the character Bartleby. The stories protagonists
withdraw themselves from society, but for
different reasons. Goodman Brown loses his trust
in people, while Bartleby loses hope. Bartleby,
the Scrivener, by Herman Melville, describes a man
who is all alone in the world and has lost all
hope. It is a narrative story, told by a lawyer
who hires Bartleby. At first, Bartleby is a very

Kafka was a man consumed by death, consumed by the
fact that he might eventually die. One man who was
greatly affected by his father's negligence of
him, and a social deviance about him which held
him back from interaction. Such a man was so
afraid about what society thought of his writing,
that he never widely published his works, and even
asked a friend to burn all manuscripts. Not only
was Kafka Jewish, he resented this fact. Once
Kafka even stated that "Sometimes I'd like to

definition is clearly stated in The Power of One,
as well as Richard Wright's Black Boy. Actually,
both these works resemble each other by both
having many types of isolation. Initially, P. K.
in The Power of One and Richard in Black Boy are
isolated by members of their family. Subsequently,
they are both excluded by society because of their
backgrounds. Ultimately, they are excluded within
