not only in its place of origin, the United
States. While blacks used context from the
declaration to challenge slavery in the United
States, the French used its ideals to start their
own revolution. The Declaration of Independence
can be seen to be one of the few documents that
had a profound impact on the world, and this can
be easily seen because of...

Billy Personality Phrase Life Person

When one says the phrase, life goes on, we can
probably assume that they have been faced with
some type of tragedy that has affected how they
lived. This phrase might create situations where
life after the misfortune is more bearable for the
person affected and the friends and family of the
person. If The Crossing had been written through
the eyes of Billy Parham, we probably would have
read the phrase life goes on over and over again.

Coca Cola Sensual Pleasure
1,790 words
In Utilitarianism, J. S. Mill was trying to show
that "actions and institutions should increase the
overall amount of happiness in the world", and
stressed the importance of utilitarianism as the
first principle in ethics, to which any
ambiguities with second principles such as 'do not
kill' may appeal. In this discussion, it is first

each of these statements in isolation, before
going on to explore how he attempts to reconcile
these two statements....

Good Example First Verse

It is almost impossible to identify the author of
a spiritual or to pinpoint its original form.
Typically, spirituals are created by
nonprofessional musicians, changed by other
singers and passed along from one generation to
the next. As the song is passed along it starts to
change. The changes that take place become a part
of the original song and eventually the music
takes on a different form. Over the span of years
the authors' names are forgotten. The composer who
wishes to create a new spir...

Waiting For Godot Second Act
1,193 words
"Nothing to be done, " is one of the many phrases
that is repeated again and again throughout Samuel
Beckett's Waiting For Godot. Godot is an
existentialist play that reads like somewhat of a
language poem. That is to say, Beckett is not
interested in the reader interpreting his words,
but simply listening to the words and viewing the
actions of his perfectly mismatched characters.
Beckett uses the standard Vaudevillian style to
present a play that savors of the human condition.
He repeats phras...

It condemns authoritative institutions including
the military, royalty, new industries, and the
Church. Blake's tone creates a feeling of
informative bitterness, and is both angry and
despondent at the suffering and increasing
corruption of London's society. Blake's
sophisticated use of notation like capitalization,
his specific change in meter, and the point of

Christians, in other words, are a lot like Arab
Muslims, save for the accident of scripture. And

Middle Aged Man Clich

Lolita is perhaps one of the most disturbing
novels of the century: it tells the immoral story
of a middle- aged man who falls in love with a
twelve year- old girl (a nymphet, as he calls her)
and has a sexual relationship with her for over
two years, until she disappears with another more
perverse middle- aged man. What makes this novel
particularly disturbing is the fact that Humbert's
sexual perversion is disguised in highly poetic
garb and that the only monitor of virtue is the
