J Alfred Prufrock Aids Epidemic
1,512 words
At first glance, Esquire magazine seems harmless
enough. In fact, I often thought of it as the
magazine for an unenlightened J. Alfred Prufrock.
J. Alfred Prufrock was the dissatisfied upper
class crybaby created by T. S. Eliot. Both
Prufrock and Eliot himself choose to use initials
instead of full names to accomplish an air of
upper classmanship. This is very much in the same
vein as naming a magazine Esquire which, according
to my computer thesaurus, is synonyms with such
words as sir or arist...

Reading This Article Assisted Suicide
1,262 words
Should assisted suicide become totally legal in
the U. S. ? Well, that is the question that Mr.
Stephen Carter seems to brutally review in his
article Rush to a Lethal Judgement, where it
appears that he takes a stance against assisted
suicide. He makes a very week argument though, and
I feel he would fail at convincing most anyone.
His thoughts are well organized, but he fails to
really take a side on the debate until the very
end and at that point it is no longer very useful.
Carter starts the...

as a man not preeminently virtuous and just, whose

misery to happiness, but on the contrary, from
happiness to misery. From this definition, he
further expanded it by defining the profile of the
tragic hero. I agree with Aristotle s views in
