The first recorded Japanese immigration to Canada
was in 1877. By 1901 the population grew to 4,

Members Of The Group Concentration Camps
1,081 words
The Franks were an old German- Jewish family.
Anne, the youngest daughter, was born on June 12,
1929, in the town of Frankfurt-on-Main in Germany.
Anne Frank records her feelings, emotions, and
thoughts, as well as the events that happened
while forced into hiding, in her diary. Four years

Angels Of Life And Death

"I hated the brutality, the sadism, and the
insanity of Nazism. I just couldn't stand by and
see people destroyed. I did what I could, what I
had to do, what my conscience told me I must do.
That's all there is to it. Really, nothing more"

not in the hearts of all European people between

figure is one of the ...

Sneer Of Cold Command Sneer Of Cold Ozymandias
639 words
This sonnet is written to express to the speaker
that possessions don't mean immortality -
ironically, the king who seemed to think that his
kingdom would remain under his statue's
egotistical gaze forever teaches us this through
his epitaph. "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and
despair!" becomes good advice, though in an
opposite meaning than the king intended, for it
comes to mean that despite all the power and might
one acquires in the course of one's life, material
possessions will not last for...

Coffee And A Bagel Books And Poems Man
790 words
While I was scanning our literature book in search
of a poem that was to my liking, I came across
William Carpenters Fire. At first I thought that I
should try to find a shorter poem to write a paper
on, but I decided to go ahead and read it anyway.
At first I began to smirk at the seemingly
humorous actions and thoughts of the characters in
the story, but soon the underlying theme became
very clear. This poem expresses an overall idea
that I immediately connected to: the idea that
society is a ...

Men Are Created Equal Declaration Of Independence
1,554 words
The Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas
Jefferson, and The Second Treatise on Civil
Government by John Locke, are two similar works.
Locke's work seems to have had an influence on
Jefferson when he wrote the Declaration of
Independence. Both works were written on
government, what it should and should not be.
Locke brings the view that the state exists to
preserve the natural rights of its citizens. When
governments fail in that task, citizens have the
right -- and sometimes the duty -...

concrete act that he or she is going to perform.
The definition of conscience is best portrayed
through Thomas More. In the movie A Man for All

corruption of this time. Saint Thomas is a

Meaning Of Life True Meaning

To conquer ones fears, one must see past them. To
fear is natural; to see past them is heroic. Fear
is normal additive to life; symbolizing that there
are new, sometimes extraordinary things to come,
to face. To be able to see these things before
they happen is a sign of wisdom. To see past them
is a sign of leadership and boldness. Fear is
nothing out of the ordinary. To recognize that one
fears is to recognize that one values his life.

near a river side, suddenly his axe fell into the

Dramatic Irony Elizabethan Audience
1,507 words
Shakespeare presents Shylock as both a villain and
a victim in 'The Merchant of Venice'. To what
extent is this true? Shylock is shown as a villain
because he has attempted to kill Antonio, he's
abused Jessica's freedom and cares more about his
money than his daughter. He is, however, presented
as misunderstood and a victim, because not only is
he physically abused in the text (he is spat on
and kicked), his business is undermined, and he is
an alien in his own city. A modern audience would
not ...

longs for freedom, as expressed in the poem
Tulips, not from enslavement or death, but from
life and little smiling hooks that cling her onto
the living, and from the red, vibrant tulips. The
tulips define the opposing white. They represent
the outside world, and life, spring and warmth.
They distract Plath as she lies on her hospital

Merchant Of Venice Shylock Villain Or Victim
861 words
In the play Merchant of Venice, there is always a
lot of controversy about whether Shylock is a
victim or a villain. The definition of victim is a
person who dies or suffers as a result of
voluntarily undertaking some enterprise or
pursuit. Meaning someone who dies or suffers as a
result of his or her own actions is still a
victim. In accordance with the definition, in my
opinion Shylock is a victim. When we first start
to read the play, as a Jew Shylock is put at a
huge disadvantage. 400 years ...
