Daybreak Gray and Dim, sets the picture of a

The Ozone A Hole In Theory

The protective ozone layer around our world
undergoes much thought and debate. The "Hole",
however, only exists in the minds of
environmental, self-serving scientists and
politicians. It interests many to find all the
faults in the publics consensus of the "ozone
depletion. " Most scientists do not believe in
this "depletion", they think it is a natural
phenomenon. Ozone gasses come into view as

Anselm = s definition of And@ starts by saying
that God is the greatest being we can possibly

greater than God. Anselm also states that if God
is the greatest thinkable being, he is referring
to the fact that it would be impossible to imagine
or to create in ones mind someone or something

Stanza Donne Writes Care Less Eyes Lips Love
732 words
Simile and Metaphor in John Donne's "A
Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" Valediction: a
farewell address forbidding his wife to mourn,
strikes me as an extraordinot nary title for this
poem. Donne's title has an implied meaning that
contradicts how this poem leads the reader to
believe it's a love poem he writes to his wife
before leaving on a journey to France. A love so
strong, so pure, that the bond could never
possibly be broken, even after death. Two souls
who will always be together physic...

Morally Correct One Person

Morality. It has been questioned by people,
honored by people and revered since the beginning
of time. Yet even today not one person can say
what is morally right. It is a matter of opinion.
It was Dr. Victor Frankenstein's opinion that it
was alright to create a monster. Frankenstein's
creation needed a companion. Knowing that his
first creation was evil should the doctor make a
second? With the knowledge at hand, to Dr.
Frankenstein, it is not at all morally correct to
bring another monster in...

destination, with significance or without, as well
as (sadly) by some as a goal. Death provides a
wide spectrum of ideas that can be expanded upon
with dignity or as a magnanimous ideal. The poets
