Anthem
.... for many days the farther they went from the city the safer they felt. "Everything which comes fro! m the many is good. Everything that come from one is evil." Ayn Rand wrote this in the end of the ninth chapter when Equality begins to doubt everything he has learned in the city. The mountains represented a new beginning. In the mountains Equality and Liberty found a house left from the unmentionable times. In the house there are many things they have never seen before like mirrors, light bulbs, a library .....

A Good Man Is Hard To Find
.... pride and self-centered wish to see the house causes the Misfit to discover and murder the family. Both houses are, in effect, ruins of the spirit.
It is a comic view of the family that the reader receives in the first half of the story. The comedy is in the way O'Connor has very matter of factly and nonchalantly reported the characters outlandish actions and appearances. O'Connor has made this even more funny by not appearing to tell it in a funny way. The grandmother is the funniest and m .....

Analysis Of The Machine That W
.... the battle plans to be unreliable. His
internal conflict between himself losing his job and wanting to keep it made
him jingle with the programming until it seemed right.
This foreshadowing helps the reader to see that someone is going to
have to act upon Henderson’s faults if the war is to be won. Swift, the
military commander, received these battle plans that Henderson had ‘printed
up’ out on the front (the front being the battle front).
He, realizing that some of these plans were outra .....

American History X
.... reprehensible. The press and public have become so used to tales of murder, rape, robbery, and arson, that any but the most spectacular crimes are shrugged off as part of the inevitable texture of American life. "Racism" is never shrugged off. For example, when a White Georgetown Law School student reported earlier this year that black students are not as qualified as White students, it set off a booming, national controversy about "racism." If the student had merely murdered someone he would have attra .....

Design By Robert Frost An Exam
.... The innocent little moth was tricked and it cost its life.
I feel that there is a deeper meaning in Frost’s poem. I think he is telling us that any color can have any meaning. He refers to the spider as being “snow-dropped” which tells the readers that the spider is innocent. The innocence that this spider has is similar to the innocence of a toddler who smacks his younger sibling and runs away and immediately begins to do another activity. The toddler is trying to show that he o .....

A View From The Bridge
.... tenement buildings with sparse amounts of furniture inside. With the "American Dream" not being lived by these legal citizens the idea of isolation between Italian cultures and the US is evident. The majority of people going to the theatre would be Middle class and well paid so watching a play about poorer Italians creates tension and suggests an unhappy outcome.
The play begins with Alfieri's first speech setting the scene and introducing us to the plot. Despite saying very little about the story its .....

Devil S Advocate
.... One of the observations I made about the film was that Kevin's legal talents are the Devil's instruments of choice. It is his legal practices that destroy his wife and eventually lead to her horrifying death. An important quote which I recall was when Milton (Al Pacino) says, "nobody on earth could do his bidding better than a well trained band of attorneys". Kevin is working for Milton, and the more pampered he becomes, so much the better for Milton. It wasn't until this point when I finally realized .....

Antigone Essay
.... With his wife and child dead, Creon has nothing left to live for. The dynasty of Creon's family will not continue reign over Thebes. Antigone’s headstrong attitude not only influences her choices but it also leads to the death of her lover Haimon, her aunt Eurydicê, and herself. This also leaves Creon emotionally wounded. Creon’s ending words of the book, “Lead me away I have been rash and foolish…” intimates that he will give up his throne as the King of Thebes. Antigone’s stubborness causes man .....

Diction And Imagery In The Poe
.... The depiction of “white nudes between each sizzling shaft,” brings to the reader the vulnerability the swimmer feels running from one danger to another. Also, the affect of a challenging computer game is again played. The swimmer is like a loosing player challenging each feat and then faced with yet another.
Some goodness comes out of taking the risk of swimming alone. Ones“prohibition and expectations are ignored.” The challenger of this feat has let go of all egois .....

Antigone: Gender Conflict
.... conducted with these
words, “I give this women for the procreation of legitimate
children...I accept...And I give a certain amount as dowry...I am
content.” Clearly the purpose of the women was to bear children.
The role of the husband is vague and seems as though he doesn’t play
much of a role in the household. Contact with other men was not
allowed for the wives, yet for the husband it was common to pursue
adulterous relationships. An Athenian male stated “Hetairai we have
