The Bell Jar Cancer Versus Depression
1,962 wordsIntegrated into the story of The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath is a "case history" of a depression patient, from it's subtle beginnings to it's terrifying consequences to it's shaky resolution. On the subject of this depression, there is an article written by William Styron which, in the course of describing his own dealings with the disease, he compares it to cancer. It is my own firm opinion that this assertion is perfectly valid, and it can be shown through careful analysis of the causes and effec...

Counter Argument Sexual Relations
1,250 wordsA Reading of Donne's 'The Flea' Jimmy Breck-Mc Kye Gordon College Cambridge University United Kingdom It is common to ascribe to Donne the status of archetypal logical poet- a man whose works are tightly crafted, confident, and certain in their application of metaphor and analogy. True enough, Donne's poem seems to suggest a certain self-security: we see a tight, predictable rhyme scheme, and an ordered structure. There is also arguably a wealth of rhetorical resources - Donne does not shy away ...

Introspective Five Observers Point Eight Bosses Enneagram
1,059 wordsI was angry with my friend; I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not. my wrath did grow. And I water it in fears, Night & morning with my tears: And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night, Till it bore an apple bright, And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine. And into my garden stole. When the night had void the pole; In the morning glad I see; My foe outstretched beneath the tree. In the 1997 s...

Dimensional Space Straight Line
1,540 words... stability is most intriguing: that the Tree of Reality is a multidimensional fractal. Fractals (to make a long story short) arise from unbounded convoluted lower-dimensional curves filling a higher-dimensional space. The fractals we are familiar with are formed using lines (sometimes these are contour lines defining the properties of certain regions when a function is applied to them), which are 1 D objects, but partially fill a sheet of paper, which is a 2 D space. The 3 D volumes of the Ma...

Comparing Stunt Pilot By Dillard And Spring Ehrlich
644 wordsThe Stunt Pilot by Annie Dillard and Spring by Gretel Ehrlich are two very different essays and I enjoyed one and not the other. The Stunt Pilot was much more engaging and you felt as if you got into the story. Spring was sporadic and I felt as if the essay kept jumping from one thought to the next. Throughout these two essays, the reflection was a lot the same but the tone and voice were very different from one another. Annie Dillard's essay was a great look into the stunt pilots world. Her ton...

Underground Man Wasted Life Views
693 wordsFyodor Dostoevsky's novel, NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND, has held many labels, such as being a case history of necrosis or a specimen of modern tragedy. The most popular label it has obtained however, is being the author's defense of individualism. The novel is writen as a performance, part triad, part memoir, by a nameless personage who claims to be writing for himself but consistently manipulates the reader -- of whom he is morbidly aware -- to the point where there seems to be no judgement the ...

Tragic Heroes Hamlet And The Great Gatsby
981 wordsAristotle once defined a concept of tragic hero, which should be a character with a flaw in personality or judgment that will lead this character to some actions resulting into disaster. The tragic hero also must possess some sort of flaw due to pride or his character and the destruction of this character is due to this flaw. The tragic hero must have a final moment of potential self-awareness, be a man of godlike prowess, and his goodness must come to be honored as divinity in death. In the pla...

Human Cloning Nov 1999

After my initial research, I came to the conclusion that there was no real evidence that human cloning should be illegal. My first draft however lacked good arguments. Ive since returned to the library and took a new look at the problem. And, after more research my stance was changed. Human cloning, while bringing some good, is not Gods will, and any God fearing human should consider human c...
