- 7651: As You Like It: Grow Up, Oliver!
- ... brother. After Orlando saves Oliver's life, Oliver finally gives up on planning his death. He changes his views completely. His callous reputation is almost forgotten by the end of the play. Because of his new love for Celia, Oliver seems to become more mature and does not show his envy for Orlando in such a juvenile way as before. We, as humans, experience envy almost everyday. How we deal with ... that Oliver addresses to the audience he says, "Yet he's gentle, never / schooled and yet learned, full of noble device, of all / sorts enchantingly beloved, and indeed so much in / the heart of the world, and especially of my own / people, who best know him, that I am altogether/ misprized" (1.2.163-8). After reading this quote about Orlando, it is clear that Oliver feels sorry for himself because ... Orlando. However, Orlando risks his own life to save the life of his cruel, insensitive brother. After almost being killed by a lion, Oliver began to look at his brother and life in an entirely new way. He explains to Celia and Rosalind why Orlando is late. He says, "Twice did he turn his back and purposed so / But kindness, nobler ever than revenge / And nature, stronger than his just ...
- 7652: Hamlet Was Weak and Diminutive
- ... state a paradox: Claudius is twice related to him, as uncle and stepfather, but not really his kin or kind at all. Hamlet is allowing Claudius to know that he is not fond of the new king or the marriage to Hamlet’s mother. Though Hamlet makes it known that he doesn’t like Claudius, he never acts upon his remarks. Another pun Hamlet states is, “Thrift, thrift, Horatio! the funeral ... sharper by wishing that Polonius was as honest as a fishmonger, which is to say that Polonius is lower than the lowest of the low. Hamlet goes on to say, “to be honest, as the world goes, is to be one man pick’d out of ten thousand,” and then says what Polonius probably thought was a very absurd and crazy thing: “For if the sun breed maggots in a dead ... heat of hatred. But as he is calling King Claudius a “bloody, bawdy villain,” Hamlet realizes that he’s still talking rather than doing: “O, vengeance! Why, what an ass am I! This is most brave, That I, the son of a dear father murder’d, Prompted to my revenge by heaven and hell, Must, like a whore, unpack my heart with words, And fall a-cursing, like a very ...
- 7653: Candide
- ... literary works, Voltaire’s “Candide” and Alexander Popes “A Modest Proposal” They use satire in a different way. One to entertain the upper class and the other to show us the harsh realities of the world. Swift's "A Modest Proposal" In his lengthy literary career, Jonathan Swift wrote many stories that used a broad range of voices that were used to make some compelling personal statements. For example, Swifts, A ... a terrible plan that involves both the sacrifice of another human as well as cannibalism and expect to be taken seriously? Voltaire presents a story with a distinctive outlook on life. He tells of a world that has gone mad and is laced with evil. Voltaire questions optimism, philosophy, and absolutes. Through his story he exploits absolutes such as: justice, happiness, true love, humanity, brotherhood, and many others. He leaves the reader feeling that the world really is a cruel place and that happiness is hard to come by. By using the main character Candide, a naive and innocent optimist, Voltaire ridicules concepts such as: belief, philosophy, religion, and absolutes ...
- 7654: The Webb Story and the Efforts to Rebut It
- ... with a life sentence. Meneses was eventually convicted for trafficking, but in Nicaragua, never in the United States.) These allegations have been challenged vigorously by the "responsible" U.S. press: those papers, above all the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Post, who respond most swiftly to the needs and requests of their CIA sources. For those who follow such matters, the special connection between these papers and the CIA is no secret. Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein once wrote in Rolling Stone that the CIA’s "relationship with the [New York] Times was by far its most valuable among newspapers, according to CIA officials. From 1950 to 1966, about 10 CIA officials were provided Times cover...[as] part of a general Times policy ... to provide ... have taken much research for the L.A. Times to show that, on this point, Cannistraro may have been lying. One need only go to the lengthy attacks on Webb by Tim Golden in the New York Times. Though in sum Golden was also hostile to Webb’s allegations, his articles specified that DEA had notified the CIA about Meneses’ drug-trafficking activities. Golden referred also to "intelligence reports on ...
- 7655: Adolf Hitler
- ... that day. Many Historians like to speculate what would have happened IF.... perhaps the small town boy would have had a bit more talent....or IF the Dean had been a little less critical, the world might have been spared the nightmare into which this boy was eventually to plunge it. 2. World War 1 While living in Vienna Hitler he made his living by drawing small pictures of famous landmarks which he sold as post cards. But he was always poor. He was also a regular reader of a small paper which claimed that the Araban race was superior to all and was destined to rule the world.

- 7656: Comparing Events In History To
- ... man was Adolf Hitler the Fascist dictator of many. What he was able to do through his public speeches was remarkable. He was able to tell millions of Germans that the reason why they lost World War I was because of the Jewish people. Many of the people went with his ideas since it was also the Great Depression all around the world. All he did was form an army and over power many people and make them leave their homes for the Concentration camps. The Nazis also persecuted the Slavs, Roma, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Communists ... about keeping his name. He didn’t want to be thought of a liar so he decided to die. In this century it has been rough for many people in America and all around the world. I think the biggest catastrophe this century was The Holocaust because it killed almost twelve million people. If McCarthyism succeeded I think that many other people may have died because the government would in ...
- 7657: The Prime Minister of Great Britain
- ... he could trust. Basically the PM controls his party and in essence he controls the Parliament, but that is not all. The PM alone can request the sovereign to dissolve the Parliament and call a new election, it is open to debate whether it is this power to allow him the control of the party and the Parliament. I agree with this argument completely because if the PM doesn't like the way it is going with his party he can always announce new election so the Parliament pretty much backs up whatever the PM proposes. This is my main argument for this paper. In United Kingdom there is no system of checks and balances like there is in ... head and does not have any real power. The PM is a link between the monarch and the Government, he keeps the Queen aware of what goes on with the Cabinet, the Government and the world at large. Although the Queen is a fictional figure and has no real power she can damage the reputation of the Government and the entire country by one careless word. It is the Prime ...
- 7658: Paramilitary and Survivalist Groups
- ... paramilitary groups live, especially the way these groups grow. Technological advances are a key reason for growth of these groups. With fax machines, electronic bulletin boards, and the Internet, these groups can now enroll many new members. When these advances were not around they expressed their opinions the most by handing-out flyers in busy public areas (Dees and Corcoran 87). By preaching their beliefs of a coming "New World Order", or "NWO" for short, these groups try to scare people into becoming members of these organizations. They also claim that NAFTA, and other similar trade agreements are evidence of the "NWO" (Morganthau 36- ...

- ... a lack of sleep the previous night. To improve his performance, he drinks a cup of coffee. The caffeine in the coffee wakes the businessman and prepares him for a competitive day in the business world. Should coffee be seen as a performance-enhancing drug? It is the same concept as an athlete taking a performance-enhancing drug. A businessman's coffee will simply amplify his natural skill in the business world, just like an enhancing drug taken by an athlete will amplify his natural skill in his sport. International Olympic Committee officials are concerned that baseball slugger Mark McGwire is sending the wrong message by using ... and he does not need androstenedione to hit home runs.
