W H Auden Rhyme Scheme
1,376 words
Peter Kivy opposes the idea of Formalism as the
basis of how to determine what an art is. He deems
that representation is the significant part of
determining art because without meanings and
representation words have no value. Roger Fry,
Quintin Bell and Walter Pater are on the other
side of the issue and believe that only the formal
aspect of art really has any value. The
representation of the words are not important,
only the formal aspect matters (Kivy, pg. 25). In
the poem Victor, by W. H. A...

Work Of Art Type Of Person

When Walter Benjamin wrote The Work of Art in the
Age of Mechanical Reproduction in 1969, I am sure
he didnt expect it to parallel the arguments of
todays discussions on the ethics of cloning. In
the short shadow of the replication of Dolly the
sheep, and five little piglets from Virginia comes
the discussion on if this practice should really
be allowed, and if so, what limits do you set? How
can you look in the eyes of people who have had
there family members pass away because the cloning

Childrens Literature And The Holocaust

... care writing fiction about the Holocaust is
impossible and immoral: The arguments about the
immorality of creating fiction about the Holocaust
are related to concerns about exploiting the
victims and survivors, as well as the fear of
being cooped by the act of describing evil. There
are concerns that imaginative works about the
Holocaust, as opposed to factual texts such as
autobiographies or histories, will somehow subvert
the truth of what actually happened (Walter 40).

Walter White, The Causes of the Chicago Race Riot
From Walter Whites article The Causes of the
Chicago Race Riot, which was published in 1919,
immediately following the ill-famed race riot in
Chicago, it appears that its causes were much more
complicated than usually accepted. What really
catches the eye of anyone who reads this article
is the fact that the author appears to be very
sympathetic to Blacks. This, of course, was very
unusual at the time. White gives us 8 causes
behind the riots and...

Ruling Elite Ordinary Citizens

Political Science We live in time when more and
more people, throughout the world, doubt the
effectiveness of democracy. They realize that the
political processes in democratic countries are
defined by the power balance between those in
charge, rather than by the will of ordinary
citizens. The political theories of Walter Lippman
and Samuel Popkin represent the conservative
opinion about the nature of political process.
There are many similarities between them, but we
also can find a few differe...

Life Without Parole Cruel And Unusual Punishment

The topic I chose for my research paper is Capital
punishment. I chose this topic because I think
Capital punishment should be banned in all states.
The death penalty violates religious beliefs about
killing, remains unfair to minorities and is
therefore unconstitutional, and is inhumane and
barbaric. The death penalty constitutes cruel and
unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth and
Fourteenth Amendments (Bedau 2). Those who had
shown no respect for life would be restrained,
