Hester Prynne Arthur Dimmesdale
929 words
By definition, a symbol is something concrete that
represents or suggests another thing that cannot
in itself be pictured. Nathaniel Hawthorne uses
many people as symbols throughout The Scarlet
Letter. The characters of Hester Prynne, Arthur
Dimmesdale, Pearl, and Roger Chillingworth all
represent sin. However, these four symbolize
different aspects of sin. Through the character of
Hester Prynne, Hawthorne shows how sin can make a
person stronger. When Hester commits adultery, the
Puritan punish...

Men And Women Home Burial
1,233 words
"Home Burial" depicts a household of misery and
miscommunication. As a husband and wife attempt to
deal with the loss of a child, they loose each
other. Men live life more singularly than women,
and immerse themselves in work and
self-improvement. Women, on the other hand, tend
to regard their family as their life, and
therefore live their life more collectively. This
difference causes most men and women to think in
different ways, and therefore feel unable to
communicate or understand one anoth...

Pro Choice Single Cell
595 words
Abortion is pro choice and women all over the
United States are struggling and coping to make
the critical decision. The genesis of a new human
life begins when the egg with 23 chromosomes joins
with a sperm with 23 chromosomes and creates a
fertilized cell, called a zygote, with 46
chromosomes. The single cell zygote contains the
entire DNA necessary to grow into an independent,
conscious human being. But being alive does not
give the zygote full human rights- including the
right not to be abor...

Morrison Toni Baby Girl
675 words
"It is the ultimate gesture of a loving mother. It
is the outrageous claim of a slave." These are the
words that Toni Morrison used to describe the
actions of the central character within the novel,
Beloved. That character, Sethe, is presented as a
former slave woman who chooses to kill her baby
girl rather than allowing her to be exposed to the
physically, emotionally, and spiritually
oppressive horrors of a life spent in slavery.
Sethe's action is indisputable: She has killed her
child. Sethe'...

Sense Of Community Important Aspect

I didn't know what to expect of our Community
Leadership class at the beginning of the semester.
I knew what the words community and leadership
meant and that the community I came from was a
small one, but that was the extent of it. Every
week I learned new information from the readings
and more importantly through participation in our

world. I started to realize that communities are

Disney Princesses Similar But Different

ROUGH DRAFT- Compare/Contrast Essay # 910711
Disney Princesses: similar, but different It would
cause some people to laugh if I were to say that
all leading characters in Disney movies were the
same. To anyone who has seen at least a few, that
notion is absurd. Even in tales of Walt Disney,
not every hero wins the war, nor every princess
her prince. In the classic Disney love stories of
"Cinderella" and "A Little Mermaid", the story
lines are extremely similar. Love stricken

Odysseus And His Men Homers Odyssey

The world depicted In Homers Odyssey and Aeschylus
Agamemnon was one quite remote from the modern
concept. The society of archaic Greece was one
based on communities of local landowners who
joined together and accepted the rule of a chief
landowner. Under this ruler, or bacillus, the
large landowners held aristocratic power and
formed the head council (boule) while the families
of lesser wealth were represented in the assembly,
comprised of all male citizens. The purpose of
this hierarchy of pow...

the United States. Bush is the man that should and

Bush stands out as the strongest stingiest leader.
George Bush is the best man for the job. Bush also

One Should Begin Prior To Race Day

There is no big secret as to how and why people
have to prepare for a race such as the quarter
mile. It is the longest most physically demanding
of the sprints; strenuous training is required in
order to survive a single race. There is a certain
way that I choose to prepare for it that makes it
just a bit easier. What a person chooses do before
a race can greatly affect them. The way one

U S Department Department Of Education

Richard Rodriguez's essay, Hunger of Memory,
narrates the course of his educational career.
Rodriguez tells of the unenthusiastic and
disheartening factors that he had to endure along
with his education such as isolation and lack of
innovation. It becomes apparent that Rodriguez
believes that only a select few go through the
awful experiences that he underwent. But actually
the contrary is true. The majority of students do
go through the long, unglamorous, and demeaning
process of education, but...

Majority Rule Democratic Society

The Relationship Between Democracy & Individualism
A modern dictionary might define democracy as a
state of government. However, the concept of
democracy can be interpreted as a state in society
and a way of life. Things like equality, the right
to vote, and majority rule come to mind when
speaking of Democracy. It is intended to let
everyone express his or her own opinion without
consequence. This expression of individual
thoughts is related to the concept of
individualism. This concept refers ...

PLUR is a ravers motto. It stands for peace, love,

social event, a phenomenon of modern youth culture

Believes That Man Good And Bad
1,042 words
Jean-Paul Sartre says "man is nothing else but
what he makes of himself" (762). This
existentialist view depicts the idea that one is
not based on the essence of a soul, but rather,
based on decisions made throughout life. Sartre
also believes that every man is responsible for
all men. One may choose his marriage partner,
however, in choosing to marry, one chooses
monogamy. Decisions that individuals make will
collectively create a set of principles and
beliefs for all of man. Many people believ...

To Kill A Mockingbird Style

The stylistic elements that an author chooses are
instrumental in ensuring that the theme or tone
that he or she wishes to convey is in fact
conveyed to the reader. Harper Lee obviously
realizes this, for in the novel To Kill A
Mockingbird (Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird,
[New York: Warner, 1982 ] 278) she wisely selects
a distinctive style to relate the moving story of
a young child discovering harsh truths regarding

Type Of Love P 85

Sophie began her childhood like most of the
children within the combines of her village in
Haiti. She was young and innocent. Her aspirations
were simply to enjoy the pleasantries of being a
child. Education, love, and a strong family bond
were the essence of her sweet beginnings. All that
she had ever known was the unconditional love of
her Tante Atie. It was an unsettling, but eager
sense of unwavering devotion that forced her to

Margaret Atwood Bodily Harm

... her form of writing that reinforces her theme
of awareness can be found in her poem, It is
Dangerous To Read Newspaper. This poem deals with
the aspect of not only female victimization but
beyond that. It talks about how men not only
victimize women, but also other men. They not only
inflict injuries upon women but upon themselves as
well. However, this poem seems to single out a
very important part of a society, which is the
media and more specifically newspapers. Throughout

Married His Mother Laius And Jocasta
1,269 words
First and foremost, one thing must be understood.
The matter of Oedipus guilt is not whether or not
he murdered his father and married his mother.
These facts have been previously determined, as
there is no evidence proving otherwise, and also
as Oedipus himself admits guilt. What we are
questioning in this matter is his culpability in
his psychological downfall and of the tragic
events that follow the initial crimes: Jocasta's
suicide, the Black Death, and Oedipus
wretchedness. The defense will...

Point Of View Franz Kafka
564 words
It has been said that Man revolts against his
condition first by understanding it and then, in
the face of his cosmic meaninglessness creating
his own human meaning. To me, this means that a
person has no meaning until he understands he has
no meaning and only when this understanding occurs
is when he creates his own personal meaning. Two
books, which support my point of view, are The
Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka and The Plague by
Albert Camus. These two stories use setting, plot
structure and s...
