The Theme Of Diversity In Novels
.... of view, the tie that Neil feels toward Brenda is
one of physical attraction. "She dove beautifully and a moment later she was
swimming back to the side of the pool, her head of shortclipped auburn hair held
up, straight ahead of her, as though it were a rose on a long stem." (Roth 3)
He sees her only as a beautiful woman and allows that to get in the way of
actually realizing the true reasons for her actions. Brenda on the other hand

"Down And Out Paris And London"
.... that Orwell says:
"Quite apart from experience, one can say a priori that very few tramps are
dangerous, because if they were dangerous they would be treated accordingly. A
casual ward will often admit a hundred tramps in one night, and these are
handled by a staff of at most three porters. A hundred ruffians could not be
controlled by three unarmed men. Indeed, when one sees how ramps let themselves
be bullied by the work house officials, it is obvious that they are the most
docile, broken-spirite .....

Early American Literature By Stephen Crane And Robert E. Lee About War
.... how
horrible war is. In this piece Crane keeps repeated "war is kind". These three
words really show how he and other Americans felt about war. He is not saying
that war is good. He is saying this in a sarcastic way. For example, he talks
about how peoples loved ones are dying. And then later he says "Do not weep.
War is Kind." In this poem he really shows us that Americans were really tired
of war.
In the "Letter to His Son" Robert E. Lee also depicts his attitude, as
well as other Americans, tow .....

the early America, however, he was a preacher.

life isn't what we were designed for" (1).
Everyone, at some point, has experienced the feelings that Wright
describes. And with the pronoun ‘we' Wright tells his readers, ‘Yes, I have
been through the same things.' This sort of statement is like a token of good
will. The readers feel that Wright understands their plight and thus are more
likely to listen to what he has to say.

corruption is due to the lack of power on one side of society and too much on
the other, or the intrinsic desire of power on the greater side of society, (2)

actually glaring at me with sun, sand, water, a little pavilion, a few solitary
people in fixed attitudes, and around it all a border of dark rounded oak trees,

Free Will Versus Determinism
.... there would be
decisions and actions in which God could not know due to the person's choice.
This would limit God's omnipotence, which is unacceptable to some. The other
argument for determinism is causation, or causes and effects. This argument
depends on relationships that should happen with the same results every time,
such as a baseball breaking a window, breaking the window. Basing on this,
everything in the universe has a cause. And if all the causes and the events
were known, then it would be .....
