Morally Correct Good Intentions

War, regardless of its noble justifications and
the good intentions of soldiers, dehumanizes men

to remain moral. The novel Catch 22 by Joseph

war. Catch 22 is a perfect example of
demonstrating how soldiers change or morph from
when they enter the war, until they leave if
fortunate enough. Soldiers enter war with good
intentions. They enter figuring they will not see
any combat and the thought of...

Othello And Desdemona Cassio And Desdemona
1,500 words
A puppet master is in complete control over his
puppet. But only after years of studying and
observation does this special interaction of
complete control occur. The master soon speaks for
the puppet, acts for the puppet, and feels for the
puppet. A similar manipulative situation arises
between Iago and Othello in Shakespeare's Othello.
Iago's clever application of parallelism, rhyme,
and metaphor play a key role in his devilish
scheme. He wishes to manipulate Othello's
emotions; thus creating a...

CHAUCER? S IMPRESSION OF WOMEN OF MEDIEVAL TIMES
Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales in the
late 1400 s. By conceiving the idea of a
pilgrimage to Canterbury in which each character
strives to tell the best story, Chaucer cleverly
reveals a particular social condition of England
during the time. In this time period, the status,
role, and attitudes towards women was clearly
different from that of today. Two tales in
Chaucer? s collection specifically address this
subject: the Miller? s ta...

The Dreams of Alice Many people have argued that
hallucinogenic drugs influenced Lewis Carroll's
novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. However,
upon closer observation, the story more closely
resembles the experiences people have while
dreaming, rather than while under the influence of
drugs. There are numerous examples throughout the
novel which support the idea that it is based on
dreamlike experiences. The first example of how
the story relates to dreams is in the beginning as
Alice finds h...
