- 3431: The Awakening Concepts Of Morality
- ... treated the children were full of neglect. As in a certain night, Mr. Pontellier returned home from work to find that one of his children had a fever. Mrs. Pontellier refused to look at the child because she stated that "He had gone to bed perfectly well . . . and nothing had ailed him all day (P.5)." Mr. Pontellier knew that his child had a fever, but could do nothing about it, and was left to ponder that his wife was a habitual neglecter of their children. He told her this and she did nothing. As a neutral ...
- 3432: Euthanasia Overview
- ... goal to protect ourselves from harm and do whatever possible to stay alive. When euthanasia is implicated, it goes against our concept for survival (98-99). Those against the practice also believe that some might abuse euthanasia and use it for self-interest. The cost to keep a person alive through means of modern technology can be very costly. Families might, despite their love for the patient, consider the money being ... miraculous recoveries would not exist because there would be no expectation of them happening. If the patient is put to death then they have lost their right to recovery and life (100). Another argument regarding abuse is the professional aspect of euthanasia. In the medical profession, doctors are committed to saving lives (Baird, 100). With euthanasia, death is no longer natural; it is a result of a medical decision. Several questions ...

- ... on brains and on responsibility. Someone has always taken care of Lennie and done his thinking and talking for him. First his Aunt Clara looked after him, and now George does. He is like a child, a term George uses several times in describing Lennie to Slim. Lennie has a child's short attention span and tendency to hang onto one idea stubbornly--the rabbits he will get to tend. He is innocent and "has no meanness in him." In a sense, Lennie and George are ...
- 3434: Sherwood Anderson Life And Inf
- ... had happened to him and he had lost his wives. The last story, "The Triumph of the Egg", is, in my opinion, the best example to support my thesis. The story is told from a child's point of view. He tells how he sees his parents trying to make it in the world and their unsuccessful attempts at making money. His father starts by trying to start a chicken farm ... tries to impress the young man with his collection of freak chickens. Rather than impress him, the man is sickened and leaves. The father, then defeated, closes for the night and goes to bed. The child in this story is seeing how his family is struggling to get by, and how his father has a hard time keeping a job. Anderson's father too had a hard time keeping a job ...
- 3435: Comparison Of Brave New World
- ... that is highlighted more in GATTACA is that wealth means more privileges. Based on how much money one has, a set of parents can determine just how perfect and aesthetically beautiful they would like their child to be. Niccol is showing us that if we do not draw the line, these decisions could lead to a world that worships predictability and perfecion, leaving no room for the dreams and desires of God-children like Vincent. However, in BNW, there is more of a predestined life and there are no mothers of fathers to choose what they want in a child. Huxley uses satire to humor almost everything in today's world, wheras Niccol's view of a futuristic world is not as satirical but it seems like it is, rather, a warning. In their separate ...
- 3436: Kate Chopin A Style Of Her Own
- ... the birth of women's freedom of individuality. In "Desiree's Baby", Chopin uses themes, such as, independence of women and marriage between people of two different races. When Desiree's husband notices that his child has a black tint to him, he feels that she has hidden something from him. Desiree's feelings overcome her and she drowns herself and her child. Again, symbolism takes a large part in Chopin's stories. This act symbolizes the independence that women do not have because of a male dominated society. Women had few options, and one of them was ...

- 3439: Comparison Of The Scarlet Lett
- ... the evident relationship that exists between these two works. The main evident theme from both works is sin. In The Scarlet Letter, the sin that has been committed is adultery and has produced an illegitimate child. Hester Prynne, and the outspoken and praised minister of the Puritan community Arthur Dimmsdale were the adulters who committed the sin and produced the child Pearl.
