complacent, but that this complacency became an
impossibility following the shock of World War I
(West, 92). Artists asked the questions: "Which
values of the past are illusory? Which have value
for us today? In what terms ...

see that even before the time of men, before our
puny struggles and trials, there was life on the
earth. If we look closely we can see the battles
of the Titans and the Olympians. Such battles as
men have never witnessed raged. Mountains were
cast down and trampled under the fierce feet of
the Titans. Thunderbolts pierced the sky and the

is very puzzling question to me. Personally I
believe the death penalty is a hypocritical
decision. The law states that its wrong to commit
murder yet a judge or a ...
