.... of the sacrifice of the few. If the intent is noble the method will be justified. According to Hegel, any damaging part of a community should be removed, and one tiny crime will be wiped clean by the good deeds that occur because of it.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
.... wasn’t above putting on a negligée and batting her eyelashes to make them give her presents or do her favors. There was not a man in the book who did not fall victim to her in one way or another. Whether it was Mr. Jennings, who paid with his life, or Sir Francis Beekman, who paid with a $10,000 diamond tiara, all of the men in the novel paid a price for the company of Lorelei. So, if one looks at her critically, maybe through the eyes of a moralistic reformer, Lorelei is nothing but a prostitute. Al .....

Great Expectations
.... of the story were freely given. Even after the
first, second, third, and even fourth of these surprises gave their
pleasing electric shocks to intelligent curiosity, the denouement
was still hidden, though confidentially foretold. The plot of the
romance is therefore universally admitted to be the best that
Dickens has ever invented. Its leading events are, as we read the
story consecutively, artistically necessary, yet, at the same time,
the processes are artistically concea .....

Great Expectations Charcters G
.... Joe. Pip does undergo a change of heart towards the end, and he becomes more likable. For the majority of the novel, Miss. Havisham remains constant. Her hatred towards men is easily visible. She manipulates people to her advantage without a thought to their heart and feelings. Her treatment of those around her stays very much the same until before her death, when she shows extreme remorse and pain for her actions. It is at that moment in the novel when the reader begins to feel some sort of sympathy .....

Great Gatsby
.... is also hypocritical because she hates careless people even though she is a careless driver herself.
Daisy Buchanan expresses her vanity in the words she says. For example, she once said, "I've been everywhere and seen everything and love everything," implying that she has been around the globe and seen everything there is to offer. She thinks that she can solve the problems of the world because she has gone to a few more places than other people have and that she knows more than other people do. H .....

Crime In The Great Gatsby
.... a dog and never ever stopped his
car. (187)
Tom only wanted Daisy back because she wasn't interested in him any more. So in the end he threw Gatsby to the lions, Gatsby's death was Tom's fault, he told George Wilson that the car that hit Myrtle was Gatsby's. That was just as bad as pulling the trigger that killed Gatsby. The worst part is he felt no remorse for his actions.
It makes me sick to even acknowledge the fact that people like Tom Buchanan may have or do exist. It is people lik .....

They were now attempting to attain extras, and feared that the arrival of the Okies would halt this endeavor. The Okies motives were much nobler than the Californians’; but the Californians still felt that the Okies had no right to invade their land. “And whereas the wants of the Californians were nebu .....

Great Gatsby Essay
.... was doomed to fail.
Of all of the relationships, I think that the most honest was
between Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker. This is ironic because it
was Jordan’s compulsive dishonesty that ruined the relationship. They
weren’t secretly seeing each other behind other people’s backs, they
weren’t unfaithful to each other, and they both cared for each other.
Nick saw Jordan’s dishonesty as a major flaw in her personality, and
he didn’t think she was worth it.
Out of all of the relatio .....

Unfortunately when the pet names are also a part of the larger scheme that woman are inferior, only then do they become evil and no longer childish. “Yes, very-that is if you actually hung onto money I give you, and you actually used it to buy yourself something.” (1507).

raised in Utopia, one does not know what freedom is and therefore does
not know what is missing. Freedom leads to happiness, and if one
already possesses happiness, then there is no need for freedom,
especially if your government is making sure that all your needs are
satisfied.
Religion plays an important role in people's lives. It represents
our principles and values. Religion guides us, gives us something

really him that she has fallen in love with and it was he who wrote the letters because their

tremendously because of it.
In this play Cyrano is also a hero. He is a hero because he helps many people including
the baker and Christian. He helps the .....

Those in the upper levels of the intellectual strata do not resent their inferiors who they give orders to and those who observe others in a superior position pity their superiors because they carry the encumbrance of responsibility that their position frees them from. The goal of all conditioning is, as the Director of Hatcheries - who guid .....
