Pleasure is always enjoyable. In fact the words pleasure and good are often times interchangeable. After seeing a movie I liked, I may tell someone that the film was pleasurable or that it was good. Both descriptions have a positive connotation. But while pleasure is undoubtedly good, it is not the highest goo...

It would appear that they were not selected by any force other than random chance.

Major Wilhelm Trapp, a career policeman and World War I veteran headed the battalion. Trapp joined the Nazi p...

A falcon, tow ring in her pride of place, / was by a mousing owl had at and killed. (Act 2. Scene 4. Lines 12 - 13). The irony in this statement is that a mousing owl killed a falcon. Falcons are associated with birds of prey more than owl. In fact, the stereotype of the falcon is statelier than the owl. It is like comparing a vulture to a cardinal. There is a significant difference b...

Jack The Ripper East End
2,060 wordsJack the Ripper was a murderous madman who terrorized prostitutes in the late 1880? s. Time has not diminished the gruesomeness of the killings.

Viking Probe Second Expedition Movie
770 wordsThe Book, the Movie The Martian Chronicles, written in 1950, was produced in 1979 as a made-for- television mini-series. As with most adapted screenplays, the movie differs from the novel. These differences are not that drastic and do not circumvent the overlying message of the piece. The first noted difference is the opening scene of the movie. It begins with the landing of the Viking probe on Mars. This change is possibly an attempt to explain away the results of the Viking probe. The audience...
