Mom And Dad Dochyel
718 wordsDochyel stood very stiffly at the bottom of the old stairs that lead up to the attic. He held a large serving spoon that was stained with spaghetti in his right hand.

Civil Rights Movement Martin Luther King Jr
5,282 wordsThesis Statement: Throughout the history of the United States, as seen through an analysis of African-American literature and rhetoric, black rage has not only existed, but has grown. As the momentum toward equality is clearly evident in the black races struggle, the question of where (or when) this rage will subside (if ever) remains unanswered. In examining black rage, four distinct periods of American history should be considered: slavery, Reconstruction and Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Era, an...

Shell Hole Words Words
1,478 words... in the world of it shall bring back again the lost eagerness of my youth. I sit (Remarque, All Quiet VII. 151) But Baumer continues to wait and the sign does not come; quiet rapture does not occur. The room itself, and the pre-enlistment world it represents, become alien to him. "A sudden feeling foreignness suddenly rises in me. I cannot find my way back" (Remarque, All Quiet VII. 152). Baumer understands that he irredeemably lost to the primitive, military, non-academic the war. Ultimately...

Erich Maria Remarque Quiet On The Western Front
1,759 wordsThe destructiveness of war can be understood upon several levels. Primarily, war exposes innocent lives to violence so unforgiving that it leaves physical and mental scarring to the victims for the rest of their existence. War destroys the bonds that soldiers have built with their family, friends and former lives in their pre-enlistment years. War strips all the baggage of life away from the participant, leaving only the raw emotion to be endured by the soldier. Fear, hate, passion, confusion, e...

As one by one the ponds opened, tool the white ice painfully into their dark beliefs, I began to listen to them shore-slapping and rock-leaping into the growl of creeks, and then of course the ocean, far off, pouring everything, ever and over, from jar to enormous jar. You'd think it would stop somewhere, but next it was rocks flicking their silver tongues al...

Radical Feminism Liberal Feminists
2,592 wordsIt can be said that the state is a category of abstraction that is too aggregative, too unitary and too unspecific to be of much use in addressing the disaggregated, diverse and specific (or local) sites that must be of most pressing concern to feminists. (Allen 1990) The difficulty of any theory of the state is an obvious one. The state is a generalization that is constantly shifting and redefining itself and the power paradigms that exist within it. Therefore, it is difficult to agree on an id...

Quot Quot Nursery Rhyme
4,907 wordsGrover Smith Although " The Hollow Men" is not a mere appendage to The Waste Land, it may most profitably be read as an extension of the same design of quest and failure. The quest has already failed once when the poem opens. The history of Kurtz in " Heart of Darkness" conforms to the general pattern. Conrad may often be understood best through the study of primitive rituals of succession, initiation, and fertility. That Kurtz has been initiated into the tribe, becoming its ...
