- 2061: Blakes The Chimney Sweeper
- ... lived, but also how they felt and how they were deprived of their childhood. Blake also uses symbolism to express the evils of exploiting these small boys. Most of this symbolism appears to be about death. This gives the poem a dark mood. For example, Blake writes So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep (554). Most of the boys who were sold into chimney sweeping died very young ... of sweepers Dick, Joe, Ned, and Jack/ Were all of them locked up in coffins of black (554). In this quote the coffins of black symbolize the chimneys (554). Ultimately this all symbolizes the boys death because of their terrible life cleaning chimneys at such a young age. In the next stanza an Angel comes And he opened the coffins and set them all free, which symbolizes the boys death and escape to heaven. All of these symbols cause feelings of sympathy in the reader, hopefully causing them to want to help these children escape their fate. Blake also uses startling irony in this ...

- ... one of main factors in the fall of Rome. Some of the things that could be linked to Ptolemy would be Caesar's assassination, the civil war between Octavious Caesar and Mark Antony and the death of his mother Cleopatra.

- 2063: El Dia de Muerto
- ... tradition is still celebrated on the second of November. The occasion is "El dia de muerto" or as we would call it, The Day of the Dead. Mexicans more appropriately call it the cult of death because of the celebration's form and extent. This coincides with the Christian All Saints Day, and All Souls Day, November 1st and 2nd. People who have died in the past year are remembered, and ... the day following the feast of All Saints. The people of all Latin American countries celebrate this day as a time to remember the departed in joyous celebration instead of somber sadness usually associated with death.

- 2064: Responces To Hunger
- ... Chinese prisoners were placed in a ditch on their knees with their hands bound behind them. And one by one, a select few Japanese soldiers would go into the ditch and bayonet their prisoners to death. Up on the bank, countless other young soldiers would cheer them on in their violence. Comparatively few soldiers actually killed in these situations, but by making the others watch and cheer, the Japanese were able to use these kinds of atrocities to classically condition a very large audience to associate pleasure with human death and suffering. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who had been spectators were treated to sake, the best meal they had in months, and so-called comfort girls. The result? They learned to associate committing violent acts with pleasure. There are also some clear-cut examples of classical conditioning established by the media today. Our culture watches vivid pictures of human suffering and death, and we learn to associate it with our favorite soft drink and candy bar, or our girlfriend s/boyfriend s perfume/cologne. This occurs at the movies or even at home watching TV we ...
- 2065: Lady Macbeth: A Wife in Support of Her Husband
- ... regarded as cruel and vile, evidence exists that Shakespeare did not intend for her to be judged so harshly. By evaluating her character in relation to her actions, her overall relationship with Macbeth, and her death, we can see that Shakespeare quite possibly wanted Lady Macbeth to be judged in association with the actions of Macbeth. What appears to others as ruthlessness and ambition, is really her loyalty and love for ... Gentle my lord, sleek o'er your rugged looks;/ Be bright and jovial" (III.ii.27-28). She is concerned with his declining mental state and continually tries to aid him through her support. The death of Lady Macbeth is vital in understanding her mental condition. At the beginning of the play she appears to be unyielding and insensitive to all feelings, but as the play progresses her conscience continues to overcome her. When talking to Lady Macbeth's Gentlewoman, the doctor utters, " Unnatural deeds/ Do breed unnatural troubles. Infected minds/ To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets" (V.i.70-72). Her death is a result of the effects that her deterioration has. Her mental state has altered to a minimum, and has harmful side effects. She begins sleep walking, having nightmares, and talking in her sleep. ...
- 2066: Macbeth 2 - Fixed
- MacBeth - Attitude Changes In the tragic drama Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare in 1606 during the English Renaissance, the hero, Macbeth, constantly declines in his level of morality until his death at the end of the play. Because of his change of character from good to evil, Macbeth's attitude towards other characters, specifically Duncan, Banquo, Lady Macbeth, and the witches, is significantly affected. The first of the four characters is Duncan. Since Macbeth interacts with Duncan only a minimal amount before Duncan's death, Macbeth's attitude towards him changes very rapidly. Before Macbeth hears the witches' first prophecy, he is very close to Duncan, and would never even think of doing something against him. When the thought of ... thrusts Against my near'st of life; (III, i, 114b-118) Finally, Macbeth actually shows signs of relief when the murderer calls him to the door during his banquet and tells him of Banquo's death: Macb: There's blood upon thy face. Murderer: 'Tis Banquo's then. Macb: 'Tis better thee without than he within. (III, iv, 12-14) Macbeth's last statement, "Tis . . . within", means that Banquo's ...

It comes down to the choice of allowing the possible death of thousands to war or the possible death of a culture to forced population redistribution. Population redistribution could be the solution to lasting peace in nations faced with rivaling cultures due to ethnic diversity, but the peace would not come without a price ... still the same people when they have been forced to change their way of life eventually killing the culture which made them who they were?

- 2068: Malcolm X
- ... Michigan. In 1931 Malcolm's father was murdered by the "Black Legion", a hate society of white bigots who wore black robes instead of the white ones favoured by the Ku Klux Klan. Tragically, the death of the Reverend Little was an all too common occurrence in the so-called land of the free, a country which claimed to be the champion of democracy yet denied that self-same democracy to ... equality would either end up in prison or risk getting Iynched by white-racist gangs like the Klan. Indeed, as recently as 1980 several Klansmen who were actually filmed by T.V. cameras shooting to death half-a-dozen antiracists were set free by an all-white jury of southern bigots. Most American blacks lived lives of poverty and degradation, a situation which drove Malcolm's widowed mother into a lunatic ... war against the nonwhite, Asian people of Vietnam. Tailed night and day by the ClA and the FBI, he was also now a target for the Nation Of Islam, some of whose members had issued death threats against Malcolm.

- 2069: Beowulf and Jesus: Sacrifice and Inspiration
- ... prince of Geats, had killed Grendel, ending the grief and sorrow…forced on the helpless people"(Raffel 32). Beowulf also saved others in a Christ-like way when Grendel’s mother attempted to avenge the death of her son. To do this, she had killed Hrothgar’s closest friend in the mead-hall, therefore instilling fear into the Danes living around Herot. Beowulf respected Hrothgar and would do anything to repay ... from what caused them extreme anguish and fear. If Grendel’s mother had not been murdered, she would surely have killed again; she would have killed until someone challenged her to a battle ending in death. Therefore, Beowulf’s courageous deed provided the Danes with relief from unending terror and certain death. Beowulf allowed them to continue living a life without constant fear. In both cases, people were saved from a form of evil. Beowulf acts in the epic, as Christ acted throughout his life, saving ...
- 2070: Design By Robert Frost An Exam
- ... Frost, the classic use of the color white, meaning innocence and purity is turned around. Instead of giving this color to wholesome, pure objects he gives them to objects that are the reverse, which are death, darkness and unholy objects. When I read the poem Design I got the feeling that the author did not feel the same as I do about the color white. The first line talks about a ... all. In the second part of the first stanza Frost describes a witches brew with all the ingredients being white. Witches have traditionally been ugly people wearing all black, the color that represents darkness and death. By saying that the white spider and the dead moth are like ingredients of a witches brew is actually putting those two objects on a lower level of existence. Ingredients in witch s brew are ... the mood of the ceremony is very dark and upsetting. The theme of this poem could be like the idea of wearing white to a funeral and black to a wedding.

This poem contradicts our ...
