- 3491: Mr. Flood’s Party: A Cry for Help
- ... Party”. Robinson’s theme for “Mr. Flood’s Party” is that of a man, perhaps Robinson himself, who at one time had great aspiration and high achievements, all to be lost to old age, alcohol abuse and the complementing disease, alcoholism. Using symbols, tone and dramatic irony, Robinson appears to reflect on his own life, as he cries out for help the only way he knows how. Robinson, through the use ... around a man struggling with not only alcoholism’s effects on himself but on society as well. This overall theme helps to reveal the often sad and pitiful life of an individual struggling with alcohol abuse. It is as relevant today as it was when Robinson wrote this poem. The poem also points out the bitter realism of this disease and its implications not only for individuals but also on society ...

- 3493: Essay on the Intrinsic Flaws Inherent in Christianity
- ... of prejudice in Deuteronomy. In the Bible, it is stated that "No one whose testicles have been crushed or whose penis has been cut off may be admitted into the community of the Lord. No child of an ncestuous or adulterous union may be admitted into the community of the Lord, nor any descendant of his even to the tenth generation." (Deuteronomy 23:2-3). Consider the first statement. If a ... faithful Christian were to get in an automobile accident with a resulting injury to his genitals, he would not be admitted into Heaven.

But more than that, none of his descendants may ever be admitted. These are not characteristics which are ...
- 3494: Paul's Letter To The Galatians
- ... Christ will bring righteousness, not the Law (Gal 2:21). Having circumcision will do nothing to make one better in the eyes of God.

- ... but not condone his father and his actions. Another instance where we see a transition is in the language he uses when describing his father.

He said that an enemy of his fathers was "...our enemy..."(147) and spoke with the loyalty of a lamb, never knowing that it could stray from ... to ask his dad certain things, not fearing the consequences. At the end of the story, the language Sarty uses becomes clearer and more independent. As he runs from the deSpain's house, like a child, he cries for Abner saying, "Pap! Pap!"(154), but when he stops and recalls the event, he says, like an adult, "Father! Father!"(154). He shows his development through these examples of his speech. The ...
- 3500: Euthanasia
- ... This is when doctors and patients would start taking advantage of the new law. Therefore, the first step should not be taken. I disagree with this notion and believe that there would hardly be any abuse of the new law. I have formed three reasons why euthanasia ought to be legal. First, history tells us that mercy killers have generally been let off easy in court. In the case of Hans ... pressure on family members knowing that the act was committed legally. In conclusion, the advantages of legalizing euthanasia outweigh the advantages of illegalization. It is highly unlikely that the legalization would lead to an over abuse of the rule.
