Material Things Human Knowledge
1,079 wordsA common thread of faith and reason runs through the two different theological visions of St. Augustine in his Confessions. This can be seen by comparing the ascent, the vision, the descent, and language in the two visions. Although other parts of the text will be referred to, the central part of these visions are as follows: Vision 1: .".. in an instant of awe, my mind attained to the sight of the God who IS.

Franz Kafka Hunger Artist
1,045 wordsBeginning my response I would like to say first that I really enjoyed this book. I believe that from four stories that Kafka combined together "A Hunger Artist" is by far the most celebrated and studied. This story really feels at once dream-like and utterly real; no such hunger artist could exist as Kafka describes it, yet all the events and feelings in the story seem true to life. The ending of Franz Kafka's The Hunger Artist at first glance it seemed to me to be lacking something. The Artist ...

African American Poetry Negro Race
670 words[Course Title] African American Poetry In her poem, tellingly titled A Southern Road the relatively idyllic portrait of the southern folk is disrupted by Helene Johnson with the representation of lynch violence, a representation obviously lacking in the popular film of the late 1920 s and the 1930 s: A blue-fruited black gum Like a tall predella Bears a dangling figure (Wagner 197) The poem is an ironic pastoral variation on the "Black Christ" lynching poem that was a significant subgenre of Afr...

Death Row Inmate Dead Man Walking
653 wordsI know that it is not a question of malice or ill will or meanness of spirit that prompts our citizens to support executions. It is quite simply that people dont know the truth about what is really going on (p. 197). This passage, found in the book Dead Man Walking, written by Sister Helen Prejean, speaks directly about the theme of this book: the morality of Capital Punishment. Sister Helen Prejean has written an insightful book about the morality of killing a human being and a society and gove...

Modest Proposal Jonathan Swift
2,391 wordsHave You Eaten Yet? : Swift s Final Solution As a lately favored eighteenth century essay, Jonathan Swift s Proposal has been canonized as a satirical model of wit. As will be discussed shortly, Swift s essay is often seen as an allegory for England s oppression of Ireland. Swift, himself and Irishman (Tucker 142), would seem to have pointed his razor wit against the foreign nation responsible for his city s ruin. Wearing the lens of a New Historicist, however, requires that we reexamine the pow...

Contemporary Literary Criticism J Alfred Prufrock
1,450 wordsThe so-called Love Song The ironic character of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, an early poem by T. S. Eliot (1888 - 1965) in the form of a dramatic monologue, is introduced in its title. Eliot is talking, through his speaker, about the absence of love, and the poem, so far from being a song, is a meditation on the failure of romance. The opening image of evening (traditionally the time of love making) is disquieting, rather than consoling or seductive, and the evening becomes a patient (Sp...
