Vietnam War Air Strikes
1,235 words
Most people in our society think of the Vietnam
War as a tragedy, or a negative time in our
history that was later viewed as a misstep. These
comments are true and most-certainly conventional.
However, does the average person realize how large
of an impact it had on the men who fought? When
questioned on the Vietnam War, it can be rightly
assumed that many Americans would know that it
lasted over a decade. Maybe even a few would know
that over 14, 000 U. S. troops were killed in
1968, alone, (Ap...

Women In The Ibo Society
605 words
In Things Fall Apart, the Ibo women were perceived
as being weak. They received little or no respect
in the Ibo society and were harshly abused.

as though they were animals. They never questioned
what they were told and were required to be loyal.
The reader sees this at the beginning of the
story, when Okonkwo brings the young man into his
home. Okonkwo t...

"What we are. " -- A phrase that causes a number
of thoughts to cross my mind. What makes us who we
are? From the light of events of Kokoro by Natsume
Soseki, I did some research to find an answer to
this question. One aspect of all human behaviors
is egotism. In Kokoro, events take place primarily
around the relationship of Sensei and "I." Sensei

into play is John Proctor himself who was a
leading character and Arthur Miller built up to
the big scenes seen throughout the play where the
characters are made to be seen as more appealing.

Imagery And It Impact In The Play Macbeth
436 words
The tragedy Macbeth by Shakespeare conveys blood
imagery throughout the play. By representing
imagery in a metaphoric way, it establishes
sympathy between the main character and the
audience, and questions the sanity of Macbeth. By
creating sympathy between the audience and
Macbeth, understanding him is easier. In the play,
Macbeth becomes king by killing his way to the
throne. Every one of his kills leads him to the
next to cover up the one before. After Macbeth's
first kill, Duncan, he portray...

Humiliated Justice In The Deposition
903 words
Tobias Wolff's The Deposition is a story of
humiliated justice and the lies behind the
humiliation. The characters in the story search
for their right and get deprived of that as false
statements and confessions obstruct their ways to
achieve what is just. Starting with the witness in
the court and then with the lawyer Burke, the
characters undergo an echoing ambiguous treatment
of fallacy and false justice that turns the story
into a tale of escaping truth and trying to
establish their own lies...

Mans Most Precious Possessions Mans Most Precious Socrates

Virtue and justice are mans most precious
possessions, Socrates once stated (Plato 55). I
was present when Socrates gave his compelling
argument as to why he could not possibly be guilty
of the crimes of corrupting the youth of Athens,
and creating his own gods in lieu of the gods
already recognized by the city. It is unfortunate,
however, that even with his prolific dialogue, he
was not able to save himself from his own death.
Out of the five hundred and one jurors, including
myself, listening ...

two events frustrated and angered German citizens,
thus increasing internal strife. It was much
easier for Germans to blame the Jews for the loss

themselves. The German citizens were then able to

they were thought to be responsible for the loss
of the Great War (Mazian 145 - 6). The severe
