All Quiet On The Western Front
.... has brought them to forget the horrors of war.
The soldiers fight because of simple orders. They really have nothing to gain from it. Their superior officers don’t know what its like. They get out on the battlefield and cowardly turn away.

Analysis Of Amy Lowells Poem A
.... feelings have gone from just being infatuated with them to being “nourished” by them. The tone of the poem is hard to describe; it is actually the “lovey dovey” feeling that should come to the reader while reading this poem. The poem has no set rhyme scheme, and is six lines long in one stanza.
Following, is my paraphrase of the poem.
When we first met you were sharp and sweet
And when we kissed it burnt my mouth because I wanted you so.
Now that it has been a few y .....

All About Triffles
.... quilt evokes a defensive remark from Mrs. Hale in which she hints that it is unwise to tempt fate; she asserts, "I don't see as it's anything to laugh about" (Glaspell571).

Antigone
.... she could to bury him, even if it meant that she had to sacrifice her life. She knew it was the right thing to do. As she says here, “I know my duty, where true duty lies,” (1.1.78).
Ismene was the other sister of Antigone and Polynices. She however, did not think that her family was important to her.

Analysis Of Platos Simile Of T
.... today, many similarities can be seen. Citizens of our nation today are often “blinded” from the truths that are presented before them. They live their lives from day to day just knowing and accepting what is being presented to them blindly and have no concept of the reality that lies behind what they are presented. Unless these people are freed and allowed to find the truth for themselves, this is the way that they will always live their life. Plato symbolizes this by suggesting that one .....

up’ out on the front (the front being the battle front).
He, realizing that some o .....

Most people desire to live to a ripe old age and they would be aghast to have a premature death viewed through a positive light. Yet a “positive funeral” is exactly the driving force behind A.E. Housman’s “To an Athlete Dying Young. .....

A Journey To Enlightenment In
