State Of Mind Lost Love
1,152 wordsEdgar Allan Poe's The Raven, representing Poe's own crisis, is oddly moving and eye-catching to the reader.

Hitler Believed Mentally Ill
918 wordsSix million Jews and millions of others, including Gypsies, Slavs, homosexuals, the mentally ill and the infirm were murdered by the Nazis between 1933 and 1945.

Compact Disk Popular Music
1,485 words... d. It is always so associated with a Utopia, or more recently with anti-Utopia, so far lifted out of its environment, that its form tends to choke it. The question of the future, whether it might be in fact, nothing more than an abyss, is never really raised. Whilst resisting structures, resistant strains in popular music never seek to fundamentally question the actual structural foundations of the languages they speak, nor do they seek to radically historicism these structures. Too often, i...

Wilfred Owen Poetic Devices

Man is born with little that could be used as a physical weapon of violence. His teeth seem for laughing round and apple and there lurk no claws behind his fingers. Despite this lack of natural weaponry, human beings create themselves powerful, destructive weapons of steel and zinc that are far more deadly than any natural teeth, claws, talons, or antlers. Owen makes use...
