In Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Frost At
Midnight" the speaker starts off the poem in the
present time pondering over the "secret ministry"
of the frost. He is noticing how quiet and
peaceful it is as he sits with his infant son.
However, it is only calm on the surface since
amidst the speakers "solitude" there are all of
the "numberless goings-on of life" like the cry of
the owl, the "populous village" and the "Sea, hill
and wood. " But like all of the "goings-on of
life" the speaker is not ...

George Orwell Main Character
1,027 words
Power. What encompasses power? Is a malicious
Tyrant considered powerful if he has the capacity
to oppress a population; or is power merely a term
used to describe the physical strength of an
individual? Regardless, the process through which
power is earned requires confidence to retain
morality and strength to forfeit freedom.
Authority on the other hand, requires a title
(that is bestowed) to provide some sort of
recognition, but the possession of authority does
not indicate that one has power...

and to protect the minorities, many colleges have
adopted codes and policies prohibiting offensive
speech based on race, gender, religion and sexual
orientation. While college administrators may find

all of these problems, experience has showed us
that restrictions of free speech on campus create
even more complications and confrontations between
students. By adopting speech codes universities

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

mountain ranges. The thing they noticed was the
silence in the forests in the valley. Unlike what
is found in the other forests of Kerala where
crickets hum throughout the day and become more
active as the night approaches, it was noticed

night. The silence becomes eerily loud as we

Pentagon Papers Richard Nixon

Whitewater vs. Watergate. Both are political
sandals that have rocked the nation. As Watergate
unraveled, many of Nixon's dirty tactics were
learned, including assorted lists of enemies (a
number of which became targets of IRS tax audits),
wiretapping, political sabotage, burglary,
blackballing, and smear campaigns. Similarly, as
Whitewater unfolded, the scandal appeared to

Everyday Has A New Beginning Food For The Soul Sky

of togetherness within the universe consumed me.
It had been a long, rough night of boozing. I had
