Life Is A Game Holden Caulfield
1,029 words
I swear to God Im crazy. I admit it. It is very
easy to automatically assume that Holden Caulfield
is crazy. Its even a logical assumption since
Caulfield himself admits to being crazy twice
throughout the course of the book. However,
calling Holden Caulfield crazy is almost the same
as calling the majority of the human race crazy
also. Holden Caulfield is just an adolescent
trying to prevent himself from turning into what
he despises the most, a phony. Most of Caulfield's
actions and thoughts a...

Idea Of Fate Epic Poem
1,564 words
Scholars have argued about the religious stance of
the epic poem Beowulf for centuries. Although the

Beowulf poet, was a devout Christian, the actual
poem itself is pagan. There are many clues in the
epic that lead us to this conclusion such as the
numerous references to pagan symbols, namely the
symbol of fate. Also, the central idea of revenge
in the poem opposes the ideas of Christianity. The
poem also contains many breaches of the Ten
Commandm...

Unjust Law Martin Luther

According to the theory of Jean-Jacques Rousseau,
18 th century French political philosopher, in a
democratic society the state represents the
general will of the citizens, and that in obeying
its laws each citizen is pursuing his own real
interests. Thus, in an ideal state, laws express

a law must be failing to look at things from the
moral standpoint. Rousseau is talking about an

will, a will that...
