Time And Space Rem Sleep
1,416 words
In the middle of the night, I was taking a walk
through the woods. I could hear owls hooting and
animals scattering under leaves. From the vague
sound of water trickling over rocks, I knew my
destination was coming soon. As I was walking, the
heel of my foot got wedged between a stump and a
rock. I started to sway and my heart stopped.
Slowly I could feel my body fall towards the
ground. Not knowing when I would fall, where I
would land, what I would fall on or what might
fall on me, made my hea...

Carl Jung Lucid Dreams
1,428 words
... Eve was not supposed to eat that particular
piece of fruit. It was understood she should not
eat it. In this situation the Forbidden Fruit was
the symbol. To someone not aware of the studies in
dreaming, they may mistake symbols and images as
having similar meanings when really they are
totally different. A symbol will say something to
everyone and can be grasped by all people
everywhere. A few examples would be: Merlin the
Magician or Wizard of Oz. They were known as being
magic men. The Ga...

... is and the more out of the ordinary the case
is, the more easily, ironically, the case can be
solved by the key detective. The problem in "The
Murders in the Rue Morgue" that has the police so
stumped is simply how can a non rational, inhuman
being break through the bounds of law, custom, and
civilized order and commit such a gruesome and
horrible atrocity on two well protected women. The
police cannot bring themselves to conclude that a
human could possibly do this. The house is built

Liquid From The Blisters Jenner Repeated Smallpox

Smallpox has been one of the most dangerous and
deadly curses ever placed on humankind. Even
illnesses as terrible as the plague, cholera, and
yellow fever have not had such a universal effect.
Smallpox is a parasitic virus (a virus destructive
to the host) called variola. Its considered to be
a crowd disease, spreading only through people and
requiring a large densely populated area to
survive. If the virus is cut off from new host
bodies it dies out. Smallpox is spread by what is

Repeated Three Times Hawthorne The Scarlet Letter
757 words
Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne were
contemporaries of each other. They lived very
different lives, one living as a sailor for four
years and the other attending an Ivy League
school, yet their writing reflects a similar
style, as shown in Melville's Billy Bud and
Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. Religious
symbolism is found in abundance in each of the
works. In Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet
Letter, life is centered around a rigid,
Puritanistic structured society in which one is
unabl...

Sisterhood The Two Females Emotional Attachment One

What is true sisterhood? Unity among sororities in
a college atmosphere or even a female housing unit
just for women who want to come together as one
could all be forms of sisterhood. However, having
a female sibling is a sisterhood that can bring a
lifetime friend and companion. Sisterhood is when
one female shares a mother and father with another
as well as sharing the relationship of being
sisters. A sisterhood relationship consists of
more than just the average relationship; it

Clockwork Orange First Chapter
1,310 words
A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess, is a dark
look into a frightful future of violence and
social control. The story dives deep into such
issues as free will, the illusions of reality, the
morality of ethics, and many others. Burgess fills
this horrific tale with satire, numerous puns, and
above all: irony. A Clockwork Orange is comparable
to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four or Aldous
Huxley's Brave New World. Burgess presents us with
a philosophical message that we may soon find
ourselv...

World War Ii Moral Judgement

Obeying authority in certain situations can place
another individual's health or life at stake.
World War II is an example of this. A member of
the German officer's corps, when ordered to
slaughter victims, had no remorse feelings about
killing them due to the fact that within his mind
he was acting rightly. This shows how people are
not always going to feel guilt or remorse feelings
for their actions. There are times when people are
ordered to do something even when they don't want
to. One mad ...

Salvation In Crime And Punishment

The promise of eternal life has been the driving
force behind mans quest for salvation. Religion
and the understanding of God and implicit faith in
divine justice are the keys to salvation. This is
the message conveyed by Dostoyevsky's character
Sonia, a redemptive figure for Raskolnikov in the
novel Crime and Punishment. Written in 1865 and
set in Russia, this story is about Raskolnikov, an
impoverished young man. He kills an old pawnbroker

violence with sometimes devastating results. The
impact of television violence on youth behavior
