Extramarital Affairs Married Couples
1,462 words
In this society, it is usually assumed that one is
either single or in some form of monogamous
relationship. At best, it is sometimes considered
acceptable to play the field if one is not in a
committed relationship. If one is in a committed
relationship, it is with one person only, and any
sexual and / or romantic involvement outside the
relationship is cheating. Both of these
situations, playing the field and cheating are
still often subject to the classic double standard
of being more accepta...

Devises A Plan Edgar Linton
1,470 words
Love is an affection of warm attachment,
adoration, and devotion based on strong
admiration, benevolence, and common interests. It
would be anomalous to associate this pleasurable
emotion with the ever so spiteful thought of
revenge. However, considering the major themes
proposed in Wuthering Heights, revenge is the most
imminent of them all. It is the predominant factor
that leads the protagonists to their dismal fate.
Emily Bronte proves that there is no peace in
eternal vengeance, and in the ...

Piece Play Learning
416 words
There have been countless hours when I sit with my
saxophone in my fingers, then unsure, as they
grasp each key in the tiresome effort of learning
a new audition piece. At those times, all I do is
stare despairingly at the long road of practicing,
which faces me. The slow progression to a finished
piece seems unmanageable and my only wish is that
I could just play and play as naturally as I
breathe. I wish the piece would just flow from my
arms, to my hands, to my fingers, and then to the
pearls...

Duty And Reason As The Ultimate Principle Kant
1,385 words
Duty and Reason as the Ultimate Principle: Kant
Kant claims that only actions from duty have moral
worth. In other words, actions from motives other
than duty deserve no positive moral evaluation. I
like and agree with Kant's view because I believe
that a good will makes a good person. I also
believe we have all been put on this earth to do
our duty. We should do our duty just for duty
alone; we should not be concerned about anything
else. I will begin by discussing Kant's
distinction between wh...

Love Of God Ha Ha

Insane Or Not Insane? That Is The Question Some
people wonder is Montressor was insane in the
short story of The Cask of Amontillado. Well to
me, he was. I say this because would a sane man
want revenge on a person? Would a sane man want to
kill someone in such a slow and painful way? That
is the idea that is going to be discussed in this
essay. I must not only punish but punish with
impunity (p. 149) That line in itself just says
that he is not a normal thinking human being. This

Mother and Child convey a startling variety of

Rational Thinking Aeneas Odysseus
524 words
Heroism is an important element in both Roman and
Greek mythology. Honored as a man of cunning and a
master of strategy, Odysseus is a beau ideal of
Greek heroism. Being a man of sacrifice, rational
thinking, and discipline, Aeneas is a praised
counterpart to Odysseus. Both were victims of
savagery and temptation, examples of heroism and
valor, and recipients of struggle and
satisfaction. Even when they are characters of

Madame Bovary Charles Bovary
931 words
Gustave Flaubert presents one extreme side of
human life many would very much rather think does
not exist. He presents a tale of sensual symbolism
within the life of Charles Bovary. Madame Bovary
is the story of Emma Bovary, but within the scope
of symbolic meaning, the make-up of Charles is
addressed. It is representative of deep sadness
and a despondent outlook on life whose many
symbols are, at times, as deeply embedded in the
story line as a thorn in a callous heel. The
elements making up th...

Antisocial Personality Disorder Jeffrey Dahmer
1,477 words
We are born with certain patterns called
instincts, inherited desires or behavior patterns,
which are passed along to us by our parents. Our
childhood environments, particularly our
interactions with our parents, shape or mold these
instinctual thoughts and behaviors into what we
call pure minds. As we mature, our minds become
more capable of acting on their own, and we become
more and more capable of achieving our own
personal, subjective goals within the limits set

Live Our Lives Human Beings
659 words
Everyone has a purpose and a calling in life, and
it is our duty to find what that is. What is my
purpose? Why am I here? They were questions that I
often asked myself. We spend most of our lives
searching for a purpose, and after we find it, we
spend the rest of our lives fulfilling that
purpose. I agree with Fyodor Dostoevskys quote:
For the secret of mans being is not only to live
but to live for something definite. Why live, when
you have nothing to really live for? Without a
firm notion of ...
