Alamo De Parras Alamo De Parras Company San
687 words
In many books about of the Alamo all said, The
phrase "Remember the Alamo", an often misquoted
reference to the 1836 battle, actually does very
little to help us remember the real Alamo. Largely
ignored are the years following the 1793
secularization of Mission San Antonio de Valero.
Until recently, this period of the Alamo's history
seemed doomed to remain hidden forever. The
history of the Alamo begins long before 1836. It
is the story of a thriving community whose
citizens lived and died with...

Constant Reminder Emotional Pain
1,360 words
True redemption of sin comes from suffering. When
a person goes against what they judge as wrong,
the only way to be freed of the guilt that their
actions have caused is to feel the pain
emotionally from the guilt of their sin. The guilt
they feel on the inside and the shame they have to
face others is their atonement. Feeling that guilt
shows that the person has recognized their sin as
wrong and the constant reminder from the pain of
guilt and shame of the sin forces the person to
change their ...

Joy Luck Club Internment Camps

With the recent attacks on the United States by
terrorists, many Americans have been experiencing
feelings of fear, sadness and tremendous anger.
With Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban being held
responsible, many of Middle-Eastern descent have
been experiencing great prejudice and
discrimination and are being stereotyped as
terrorists. These types of feelings are very
prevalent in American society today. Similarly,
though not widely as discussed, Japanese-Americans
have felt these feelings direct...

Man And The Sea Ernest Hemingway
913 words
Some believe to live is to suffer, and in
Hemingway's The Old Man And The Sea this
philosophy is dealt with and viewed in many
situations. In this poignant short novel Ernest
Hemingway beautifully illustrates the trials and
tribulations of everyday man, through Santiago's
struggle at sea. The old mans adventure with the
marlin is one of loss, pride, and achievement all
combined into one emotional fight for life itself.
Hemingway's use of allegory in The Old Man And The
Sea establishes many deepe...

Myths And Legends Double Standards
1,380 words
Throughout the ages myths, legends and fairytales
have been used to teach people basic moral and
educational lessons. For example, mothers and
fathers use the childhood story of Goldilocks and
the Three Bears to teach their children that
stealing and snooping is wrong. In the end,
Goldilocks was either eaten or she ran away,
depending on your bloodthirsty nature. By using
this comparison between myths and reality the
Romans were able to control their women, and to
discourage them from vain, roma...

Dont Care One Thing

The warm sensation rushed from my body as my cover
was ripped away from my skin. The flourish of the
music pouring from the radio combined with the
chants fleeing from my mothers mouth swelled in my
ears, sending that aggravating signal to the brain
that it was time to wake up. My body managed to
turn despite the complete lack of motion. I
reached for the place that my cover had resided,
finding nothing but my left leg. Screams of my
name swept through my head, consuming the islands
of sleep wit...

Underground Man Black Hole
1,509 words
One of the major ideas throughout Notes from the
Underground, by Fyodor Dostoevsky is the suffering
brought about by isolation from society.
Dostoevsky is suggesting that it is nearly
impossible to escape the suffering and pain
brought on by isolation and it can only be
possible if you realize that you must help
yourself. Throughout this novel the narrator, also
known as the underground man experiences many
levels of suffering and pain. Dostoevsky is saying
that in order to overcome this sufferi...

If there were one word to tell what the theme of
the book was it would be innocence. How we are all
innocent at some point, how to try to keep our
innocence, and how no one can keep their innocence

Eve fell from grace and innocence and set the tone

Compact Disk Music Industry

File sharing is what it is thought as, but I dont
see it that way. I see it as theft, music theft,
most commonly know as shafting. Every day people
use shafting and think nothing of it. People sit
in front of their computers and go to their
favorite website and download file after file with
out thinking how or where it comes from. They
think it is just there for the taking and it is.

Rose For Emily Miss Emily
574 words
My interpretation of the story A Rose for Emily,
is that of a women from the old south or reference
to other people from the old south that are trying
to hold their dignity of the southern gothic
heritage. It seems that Miss Emily had been raised
with the mindset of Confederate rule and slavery
and when her father died she become insane or at
least lost her sense of being. It appears that she
locked a room in her house after her one love had
left her and in this room lye the dead body of her

Section Of The Poem Make The Decision
1,373 words
Brilliant poets surface many times by creating
their individual styles of writing. They obtain
their glory from their crafted masterpieces
designed in ways like no other. Such is the case
of Robert Browning and his dramatic monologue.
Starting with Porphyrias Lover, he went on to
perfect this form authoring many famous works in
the process. This poem, once a collection under
the title, The Madhouse Cells, depicts an
unhealthy affair from a madman's perspective. In

Duke Of Ferrara Dramatic Monologue
1,963 words
Robert Browning utilized the format of the
dramatic monologue, the creation of expectation
and surprise, and extensive use of figurative
language to support the theme of possessive love
in his works "My Last Duchess" and "Porphyria's
Lover." The dramatic personae in these works
provide surprising accounts of their tormented and
often jealous love and the results of their
actions determine the startling revelations within
each monologue. Their possessive love not only
drives them to violent acts,...

Mccarthy Vs Salem Witch Trials
1,530 words
Often times it has been stated that history
repeats itself, I have found an example of a
situation where it did. Lots of people think that
the McCarthy hearings of the 1950 s are a repeat
of history from the Salem witch-hunts of 1692. In
both cases, all of the accusations were false, and
also fictitious. Also in both cases, the main
reason people were blamed was so that ones who
were condemning would receive their own personal
gain. In both parties, McCarthy and the girls,
they accused people to...

Population Growth Carrying Capacity

... ered around, it was be painfully obvious that
this could only mean one thing: the resource is
very abundant now, compared with the demand for
that resource. However, the only thing that this
means is that resources just aren't as scarce
right now, as they used to be. One of the major
causes for this is quite possibly the
over-saturation of the market with such resources.
Because mankind's economies are using the
resources so quickly, there doesn't appear to be

Fear Of Death Afraid Of Death

DEATH AND SOCIETY (1) The issue of death in
Western society has traditionally been considered
as inappropriate topic of public discussion.
People are unwilling to admit to themselves that
they will cease to exist as individuals, after
they die. This is because European mentality is
best defined by its strive towards immortality,
which is represented in works of art, literature
and science. Peoples ability to operate with
abstract categories allowed them to become

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
