- ... book, after the killing, follows the killer to an unusual place-a concert hall. There it is found that the killer is internationally famous concert pianist John Mikali. This man, Mikali, has been tormented by death and pain all of his life. His family has been based through a stout naval history, as his father, and relatives past have all been commanders and captains of great naval ships. The one break ... had left were his nanny and his aunt. The book gives an accurate description of his life and times before his incredible hobby. After the book describes Mikali's background, which itself is filled with death, the book goes into the current life of Mikali and how he got to where he is. Mikali discovered his great talent in music at a very early age. His grand-father, who is the ... the same man, and he killed him-and the police were baffled because no trace of the killer had been found. Using this, Asa Morgan carefully deducted that Mikali was responsible for his daughter's death. Mikali's killing is likened to Manson's in the fact that it was just one piece in a huge master plan-Manson's for a new earth while Mikali's just one piece ...
- 2832: Nuclear Energy
- ... was no war, the scientists who created the atomic bomb, turned this destructive power into huge plants generating "clean and cheap "electricity for the country. But this new resource brought sickness, mutations, cancer and eventually death to those exposed to high levels of radiation. Even the government declared that nuclear powers were safe and efficient. The truth is that accidents do happen at nuclear power plants and at other facilities all ... radiation or by massive tissue bleeding. Humans above all other species are the most susceptible to radiation. Cockroaches and other types of insects can withstand 200 times more radiation exposure than humans before cancer or death occur, Radiation alters the electrical charge of the body's cells and allows cancer to form in the cells. Not all exposures to radiation cause cancer. The radiation may cause an incubation period of up ... it is cancer caused by radiation or not, Different doses of radiation will cause different problems. A dose of 2000 - 3000 REMs ( Roentgen Equivalent Man ) will cause brain tissue to swell, hemorrhage and will cause death. Five-hundred REMs will stop the cells from dividing, will cause hair to fall out, and will cause ulcers to form on the skin. It also destroys the white blood cells and platelets that ...
- 2833: Beowulf 5
- ... Ironically, Ali Pasha, who Byron extremely admired, had been one of the Turkish oppressors of Greece. Byron sailed for Greece at great risk and expense, even though he believed he was sailing towards his own death. He joined forces with a Greek prince named Mavrocordato and financed a navy for the freedom fighters. Byron found himself unwillingly in command of everything. In 1823, Byron's daughter, Allegra died of a fever in the convent school at the age of five. Facing the death of loved ones, and almost foreshadowing his own death, Byron wrote the following lines in On This Day I Complete My Thirty-Sixth Year (Jan 22, 1824): "'Tis time this heart should be unmoved, Since others hath it ceased to move: Yet, though ...
- 2834: All Quiet On The Western Front
- ... portray the lives of several German school mates who are eventually destroyed by World War I. Ramarque's purpose in writing this book was to display the hidden costs of war. The physical aspects of death and wounds did not begin to show the mental anguish that the soldiers experienced during and after the war. He hoped to show the results of war on an entire generation; a loss of innocence ... once soldiers could never replace. Remarque's message came across very clearly. There were constant tragedies which forced Paul or the other soldiers to question war and become detached from civilian life. After viewing the death of a close friend and a recruit whom he had comforted earlier, Paul went home finding that war had isolated him from his family and his childhood. With the return to his unit he again ... them. A new perspective of the battlefield was presented in which soldiers of opposite forces are in much of the same state: frightened human beings with family and loved ones at home, attempting to avoid death each day by whatever means possible; many very likely questioning the purpose of war as Paul constantly did. Many conflicts of values were presented constantly throughout the course of World War I. One of ...
- 2835: The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano
- ... one of the family. The slaves do the same amount of work that any other member of the family would do. When Equiano reached the West Indies he saw the Africans being literally worked to death, because they were so numerous and wouldn’t lose money if they perished. Another principal difference in the treatment of slaves between Africa and Europe was lodging. In the Ibo tribe, the master of the ... He did not remember an African who was not cut or flogged in the region. The slaves were treated this way because the West Indies produced sugar, which was in great demand in Europe. The death rate was high because planting sugar in a sweltering tropical condition was so tedious. Because the world wanted so much sugar the planters stopped at nothing to produce it. The conditions in the Southern Colonies were similar because rice was produced on large plantations like those of the West Indies. In Savannah Equiano was almost beaten to death; he never wished to return to Georgia again. The slave conditions in Virginia, London, and the northern colonies were more favorable because of their society’s views and the crops and labor, which existed ...
- 2836: Sir Gawain And The Wife Of Bath
- ... also that of rape. It is similar to and different from the same crime in Chaucer. Prince Urians is the rapist, and the maiden complains to Arthur. Gawain captures Urians, who is judged guilty to death. He who has shed the virgin's blood is to die by strangulation, and thus his blood will not be shed. It is Gawain who pleads with Guenevere for the life of Urians, since Urians ... but perhaps also because he is gentle and noble, and does not want a man killed for a mere rape. Urians has a choice to endure the shame of the dog trough or to suffer death. Of course, he chose to rape the lady in the first place. In Kemp Owyne, again, Owyne's choice is not ironic, though it is fraught with peril. He must give the three kisses without touching her anywhere but on the lips, for fear of death or pain (it is not quite clear which), or choose to leave her to her fate. In The Shepherd's Daughter, the knight moans more than once that he is an unwilling victim, to ...
- 2837: Byblis and Myrrha
- ... emphasize the struggle at hand. Despite all the similarities in content, Byblis’ thought progression mirrors Myrrha’s. When Byblis wishes to relive her dream at the onset of her speech, she is almost wishing for death. She wants to see these scenes over and over in sleep, and since Hypnos, the god of sleep, and Thanatos, the god of death, are twins, sleep can easily be mistaken for death. Myrrha, on the other hand, begins her speech with a more upbeat tone. She provides concrete support to act out her passions almost immediately. After weighing the pros and cons of her predicament, Byblis ...
- 2838: No One Writes to the Colonel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- ... possibly a riot, reroutes his funeral procession to avoid the police barracks. Since the musician is a first to have died of natural causes, we can assume that martial law has resulted in the untimely death of many people. Another example is the death of the Colonel's son, Agustin, Whom after his death has become the embodiment of the underground. It is rightly so, being that he was the writer of the "clandestine" papers. "'Agustin wrote.' The Colonel observed the deserted street. 'What does he say?' 'The ...
- 2839: A Good Man Is Hard To Find: Irony, Characters, and Foreshadowing
- ... both of these do infect come true. More examples of forshadowing and symbolism is when the family is driving they pass an old family burial ground, the author mentions six graves and the forshadowing of death is exemplified her due to the fact that there are six family members in their car. Throughout the story, symbolism is a constant catalyst. After the family wrecks their car, the convicts appear on the scene and the car they are driving is described as being a big black hearse-like car, symbolizing death, for example, thought the story, the author mentions the sky quite a few times. At the beginnings of the trip the children use their imaginations while looking at the clouds in the sky. As they ... the reader continues reading they find out that the woods and trees become very significant to the fate of the characters. In fact at the end of the story the entire family all meet their death in the woods by the hand of the misfit and a few other guy’s with him. This essay covered Flannery O’Connor’s usage of Irony, main characters, foreshadowing, and some symbolism she ...
- 2840: An Analysis Of Much Ado About
- ... If you want to go even farther, you could take a good hard look at Claudio and Don John and see if you think they are really allthere is no story. Remem c)The supposed death of Hero - how does a potentially tragic scene - comparable to the supposed death of Juliet become part of a comedy? I would argue that it is a comdey. I am more apt to consider Much Ado a problem play for exactly this reason. We don't know what ... Hero, then name Hero, "Hero" was not writing to be understood on merely one level. Comedy at it's best makes us laugh when we want to cry. There is nothing funny about Hero's "death". The comdey is in her triumph over the social mores of her time, her ability to turn it around and shame Claudio later. And that comedy is not the fast and furious comedy of ...
