- 2601: Gateway To Heaven" - Tiananmen
- ... as though I were a rice farmer, counting every grain of rice I had harvested. I could only think about what my sister would do. She is the wild one of my family, the more American one. She dresses in their fashions, she talks in their ways and she even listens to their music. She is a free spirit, if anything. She has her own opinions and she chooses to voice ... a complete oxymoron in these days. Je je was the perfect representation of a new democratic China, one with increased rights for all, freedom of expression and as je je would say with a grin American boys! My sister has a massive influence on my life, her kindred spirit brings color to my black and white life, I admire and love her; I sometimes feel as though I am the older ... at war with itself. My side is sterile, bland and has everything in order; meanwhile, Jing Yees side is a wonderful mass of great disorder, her clothes all over the floor, her posters of American superstars and rock stars overlap one another on the wall, and her mattress is not made. I do not think it ever has been, and worst of all, there is a 2-day-old ...

- 2603: Orwell Critizism
- ... power. Orwell's entire purpose of writing the novel was to worn against the dangers of society forming a totalitarian society. He effectively creates a story that almost completely parallels the history of the Russian revolution. Although I do think this is a great book I believe it has some flaws. One of the major flaws with the writing of this book is that if the reader does not have any prior knowledge of the Russian revolution then he will surely miss most of the important aspects of the book. I do not think Orwell took into account his audience when he wrote this book. He must have known that not everyone who would read his great work of literature would not know well the complete history of the Russian Revolution. Taking this idea into account, I think he could have somehow made it possible for a person who did not know about the Russian revolution to be able to understand the main purpose of ...
- 2604: Martin Luther and his Teachings
- Martin Luther and his Teachings Martin Luther was German preacher whose own spiritual crisis led to a revolution in religious thought and practice. His belief in the concept of sola fides, which means by faith alone, caused great controversy among the people of the time. He believed that in order to reach a ... everyone had the potential to be godly and denounced the class of priests. Along with certain technological advances and social factors, his writings proved to be a powerful weapon in the inciting of a religious revolution. A main reason for how his teachings led to a revolution was printing and its effect on the disseminating of propaganda. Without it, the revolution would never have occurred. Between 1518-1524 the amount of books printed increased seven times and between 1517-1520, thirty ...
- 2605: The Great Gatsby: Doubleness
- ... point, because of his dream. That dream is what separates Gatsby from what Nick calls the "foul dust [that] floated in the wake of his dreams..." It is not merely what is known as the American Dream of Success--the belief that every man can rise to success no matter what his beginnings. It is a kind of romantic idealism, "some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life," Nick calls it ... and affairs, and bizarre and colorful characters who appear from time to time in West Egg at Gatsby's parties. The idea of setting as moral geography is reinforced by the overriding symbolism of the American East and the American Midwest. This larger contrast between East and Midwest frames the novel as a whole. Nick comes East to enter the bond business, and finds himself instead in the dizzying world of The Jazz Age ...

- 2609: Crazy Horse
- Crazy Horse When I think back of the stories that I have heard about how the Native American Indians were driven from their land and forced to live on the reservations one particular event comes to my mind. That event is the Battle of the Little Big Horn. It is one of the ... times that the Oglala Sioux made history with them being the ones who left the battlefield as winners. When stories are told, or when the media dares to tamper with history, it is usually the American Indians who are looked upon as the bad guys. They are portrayed as savages who spent their time raiding wagon trains and scalping the white settlers just for fun. The media has lead us to believe that the American government was forced to take the land from these savage Indians. We should put the blame where it belongs, on the U.S. Government who lied, cheated, and stole from the Oglala forcing Crazy ...
