Makes The Reader Billy Pilgrim
876 words
Slaughter house-Five, written by Kurt Vonnegut is
a post modern novel, attempting to undermine the
readers expectations. The novel does not have
smooth transitions from one event to the next. The
reason is, because the novel reflects modern mans
life. Since the novel is not smooth it is
confusing. This is just like modern mans life,
confusing. Another literary device is, it is
difficult to follow. When the novel is hard to
read the reader cannot enjoy and understand the
book. This is how modern ...

Marlow Describes Kurtz Actions
1,807 words
Throughout his narrative in Joseph Conrad's Heart
of Darkness, Thomas Marlow characterizes events,
ideas, and locations that he encounters in terms
of light or darkness. Embedded in Marlow's
parlance is an ongoing metaphor equating light
with knowledge and civility and darkness with
mystery and savagery. When he begins his
narrative, Marlow equates light and, therefore,
civility, with reality, believing it to be a
tangible expression of mans natural state.
Similarly, Marlow uses darkness to depi...

Locke Believed John Locke

Perhaps one of, if not the, most historically
influential political thinkers of the western
world was John Locke. John Locke, the man who
initiated what is now known as British Empiricism,
is also considered highly influential in
establishing grounds, theoretically at least, for
the constitution of the United States of America.

Philosophical Ideas External Objects

philosophical speculation was the Socratic
teaching. In his attempt to define the conditions
of knowledge so as to refute sophistic skepticism,
Socrates had taught that the only true knowledge
is a knowledge by means of concepts. The concept,
he said, represents all the reality of a thing. As
used by Socrates, this was merely a principle of
knowledge. Plato took it up as a principle of
Being. ? If the concept represents all the reality
of things, the reali...

Deep Inside Island Time

The reality of being on an island is one that sets
our inner-selves free. When we embark on a voyage
to an island, we are really embarking on a voyage
to discover ourselves. An island is a place where
we let go of our made up personalities, and become
who we really are deep inside. With no involvement
from the outside world, you get time to reflect
upon who you are. If you tried this in the
convenience of your own home, you would have a
much different experience. For these reasons, I
