- ... example, "The Chimney Sweeper," "London," and "The Garden of Love." In "London," Blake reveals that this hypocrisy has robbed the world of innocence and spirit.

The word "charter" has connotations of something that can be sold or hired for money. Blake is connecting this idea with ... the dream this child is having: ". . .Tom was a-sleeping he had such a sight!" Blake is describing Tom having a nightmare in which all the children are dead and "Were all of them lock'd up in coffins of black." Blake demonstrates his religious beliefs not in the Church, but in the spirit of religion. He describes an Angel who has the power to vanquish the children's plight: ". . . an Angel who had a bright key, / he open'd the coffins & set them free." Blake harkens back to his phrase of "a green plain" where the children would be "... leaping, laughing / and shine in the sun." He has used this phrase before in ...

- ... near a particularly dangerous section of the road. The Germans had it covered with artillery fire for seventeen days of battle. McCrae would later write: Seventeen days of Hades!

After the Second Battle of Ypres there was no longer ... and one time student, Lieutenant Alexis H. Helmer was killed by a German shell. McCrae performed the burial himself in the absence of a chaplain service that night to avoid any enemy detention. The next day during a lull in the fighting, McCrae took a break and stared at the cemetery where his friend was buried the day before.

- 1874: Creative Writing: Destroying Racism
- ... the thing is, their a normal family, just like any other. They went on trips in the summer, and spring, and this time came back to a message on the lawn. I sat there that day watching cars go by their house as if it were haunted or something. I guess it can happen anywhere. But this snow-covered house is still a reflection of America, white on top with a hatred burning underneath. I go to a college, where the races meet every day. Colored man helps white man; white man helps colored man. Doesn't sound right ? That's how bad our society has gotten. Disturbing? Of course. But what is more disturbing is, lately when these issues ... were, we still have many miles to go before someone can say "What is racism"? For being racist isn't power, it's ignorance, and if you could be of a different race for a day, you probably would never say a bad thing again. Racism has become one the biggest issues in society today, and many people--from the President to a kid off the block-- are trying desperately ...
- 1875: Macbeth: Character Analysis of Macbeth
- ... he changed his mind again before finally being forced by Lady Macbeth to make up his mind to commit the murder. Macbeth also did not fear the moral consequences of his crimes (I,7, "We'd jump the life to come"). After the murder of Duncan, Macbeth sinks into continuous moral degradation. He was in a savage frenzy when he planned the murder of Banquo and Macduff's family. His morals sink so low that even his enemies said "Who then shall blame/ His pester'd senses to recoil and start,/ When all that is within him does condemn/ Itself for being there?" Macbeth had great ambition and wished to stand well with the world. He had absolutely no feelings for ... was all his superstitions that made him cling to his belief in these promises when circumstances became difficult. His imagination was so strong that when it was left to roam uncontrolled his "function/ Is smother'd in surmise." This was seen in the "dagger" scene and in the panic which Macbeth suffers after the murder of Duncan. This was also seen with Banquo's ghost at the banquet. His ensuing ...
- 1876: Night, By Elie Wiesel
- ... he vows, “Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever… Never shall I forget these moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust….Never.”(32) Each day at the German concentration camp further and further deteriorates Elie’s belief in God. The final moment, where he renounces all belief in the existence of God comes at the funeral of three Jewish males who were hung the day before, one of which was merely a child so light in weight that he hung struggling for nearly an hour before he died. Elie states, “This day I ceased to plead….My eyes were open and I was alone-terribly alone in a world without God and without man….I ceased to be anything but ashes, yet I felt myself to ...
- 1877: Hamlet: Appearance vs. Reality
- ... save his saying "Gertrude, do not drink" (Shakespeare V2280). Another character source of information relating to the appearance versus reality theme would be Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Both appear to be Hamlet's friends; "My honour'd lord!/ My most dear lord!" (Shakespeare II2223-224) but in reality both are just workers for Claudius who attempt to assist in the murder of Hamlet. Hamlet realizes this and voices his distrust of the duo, "my two schoolfellows/Whom I will trust as I will adders fang'd" (Shakespeare IV1202-203). One other character which allows us to take a good look at appearances versus reality is Hamlet.

Hamlet, when wearing his "antic disposition" appears to not care for Ophelia at all telling her, "You should not have believ'd me/I lov'd you not" (Shakespeare III1117- 119). After her death Hamlet reveals his true feelings by saying "I lov'd Ophelia: forty thousand brothers/Could not, with all their quantity of love/ ...
