Narrow Minded Politically Correct
682 wordsDogmatic Tolerance = Hypocritical Tolerance. It is a word synonymous with peace, good will, brotherly love, acceptance and forgiveness. It is a virtue that is essential in a world filled with racial and religious discrimination. But at the same time tolerance, or, more specifically, the modern, politically correct definition of tolerance, holds some very dangerous pitfalls which, if our government, and we, as a people are not careful of, could be crippling to the individualism, and the religious...

Ethan And Mattie Pickle Dish
480 wordsSymbolism can give additional meaning to a variety of texts. From music to movies to novels, symbolism creates an even deeper meaning than found in a surface reading.

The Jerry Springer Show
888 wordsTelevision has come a long way from the first black and white silent show to its current craze, which happens to be the television talk shows. In the nineteen eighties, the daytime airwaves were monopolised by soap operas and game shows but the trend gradually evolved to talk shows towards the nineties. Being before my time, research appears to imply that the talk show intrusion of our airwaves all seemed to start with the originals such as Geraldo River, Donahue and Sally Jesse Rafael. Surprisi...

Imperialism Representation In Conrad And Kipling
1,526 wordsImperialism sprung from an altruistic and unselfish aim to take up the white mans burden and wean [the] ignorant millions from their horrid ways. These two citations are, of course, from Kiplings White Mans Burden and Conrad's Heart of Darkness, respectively, and they splendidly encompass what British and European imperialism was about at least seen from the late-nineteenth century point of view. This essay seeks to explore the comparisons and contrasts between Conrad's and Kiplings view of impe...

Ode On A Grecian Urn Critical Analysis
501 wordsFirst of all, when one starts to read this poem, one cannot help but think that the tone is one of happiness. In fact, in the third stanza, Keats uses the word happy five times. The language of the poem is very flowery and beautiful, and it has the effect of lightening the deeper mood of the poem. For example, in the line "A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme: " (Keats, line 4), Keats is talking about the tale told by the urn. He is disguising it as sweet and flowery when, in reality, it i...

Brought Into The World Shelley
1,300 wordsThe Lasting Impressions of Frankenstein &# 9; Frankenstein has had a lasting impression on audiences since its publication in 1818. This continuing popularity is for many reasons. On the simplest level, Frankenstein is a novel that shows audiences there is a way to defy death, but on a deeper level it reveals many things about human nature and emotion. This is why I feel the novel has persevered through so many years and still enjoys wide popularity. &# 9; Beginning on the simplest level, Franke...

Hamlet And Ophelia Series Of Events
1,685 wordsThe Madness of Hamlet and Ophelia It was fascinating to look at how many characters in Shakespeare s plays poked at the brink of insanity. It seems to me, the plays couldn t have been tragedies if this didn t happen. In the plays we read, important characters evolved into madness, the plot thickened, figures died, and the tragedy prevailed. It was really interesting to see how this series of events would be an ongoing theme in the Shakespearean plays. Even though the same outcome was to be expec...

Act I Scene Iii Rest Of The Play
1,471 wordsOne Hamlet A Different Version One of Shakespeare's great pieces of work, Hamlet, has been divided to alternate versions Quarto 1 and Quarto 2. Focusing on Act I Scene iii, apparently the differences in these two versions are mainly on the way the characters are formed and the language that is used. Quarto 1 is a much more compact version that has weakly defined characters and uninformed language. As for Quarto 2 this lack of complexity is not so. This version has a higher quality of character d...

Heart Of Darkness Points Of View
748 wordsThe point of view from which a story is told positions the reader to perceive experiences in the novel from a certain perspective. This is particularly true for Joseph Conrad s Heart of Darkness. Conrad uses two first person narrators within the text, one within the other; the nameless frame narrator who describes the happenings on board the Nellie, and Marlow an interior character who narrates his adventures in the Congo. These differentiating points of view help to convey the symbolic signific...

Hip Hop Ain T
3,377 wordsSpirituality in Hip-Hop Many people view hip-hop from only a commercial standpoint. This would force them to believe that since mainstream rap is riddled with references to violence, sex, and money, that there is a lack of reverence or acknowledgement for God. This problem is remedied, however, if one looks deeper into the sources of hip-hop. Mainstream music is the sub-genre of rap in which the consumers most readily purchase. For rap, the ideas that sell the easiest are these sex and money-fil...
