- 871: During A Son S Dangerous Illne
- Terence Duncan 11/01/99 An Essay on During A Son s Dangerous Illness Death can strike at anytime, sometimes expected, but too often unannounced. Denise Levertov wrote a poem entitled During a Son s Dangerous Illness about the unmerciful side of death. This poem emphasied on emotions, visualization, and a consice structure that symbolizes how perplexing and awful death can be. It is a poem of desolate mood and brought a horrifiying feeling to me. In my opinion, works of literature like this that bring a sense of awarness to the world to ...
- 872: Euthanasia In Canada
- ... easy way out, diserespectful of life, and challenging human dignity is misconstrued. Pro-euthanasia groups advocate self-dignity, personal choice, economic well-being, happiness, family support, and individual rights. The word euthanasia simply means good death, but has come to mean causing death with intent, whether by doing something (commission), or by omitting something(omission). Euphemisms of the pro-euthanasia movement, include "right to die", and "death with dignity". The term "passive euthanasia" is often applied to the withdrawal of useless treatment that is onlyprolonging the dying of a person. This needs to be differentiated from withdrawing of something that is ...
- 873: Abortion
- ... he does not like the taste. By 16 weeks it is obvious to all, except those who have eyes but deliberately do not see, that this is a young human being. Who chooses life or death for this little one because abortion is the taking of a human life? This fact is undeniable; however much of the members of the Women's Liberation Movement, the new Feminists, Dr. Henry Morgentaler or ... negotiable. It is easy to be concerned with the welfare of those we know and love, while regarding everybody else as less important and somehow, less real. Most people would rather have heard of the death of thousands in the Honduras flooding disaster than of a serious accident involving a close friends or favourite relatives. That is why some are less disturbed by the slaughter of thousands of unborn children than ... group. Every member of Canadian society has a vital stake in what value system is adopted towards its weak, aged, cripple, it's helpless intra-uterine members; a vital stake in who chooses life or death. As some of you may know, in 1969, the abortion laws were changed in Canada, so that it became legal for a doctor to perform an abortion if a committee of 3 other doctors ...
- 874: New Ending Of Romeo And Juliet
- ... is supposed that fair creature died, And here is come to do some villainous shame To the dead bodies. I will apprehend him. Stop thy unhallowed toil vile Montague. Can vengance be pursued further than death? Condemned villian, I do apprehend thee. Obey and go with me, for thou must die. Romeo I must indeed, and therefor came I hither, Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man For thou nor ... fight] [Paris is slain] Romeo Forgive me good sir For again, I know not what I do Inside the tomb of Capulet Romeo O Fair Juliet why must thou torture me so For even in death thy beauty is paralleled only by the stars in the sky. O Lord what great injustice hast thou done to thee For my love is gone And no greater crime against me can thou think ... I, Heaven, or Hell? Ha! you must be jest, a question for the fools is this. Heaven is thine choice!

- 875: Euthanasia, Mercy or Murder?
- Euthanasia, Mercy or Murder? A controversial issue that is currently debated is whether euthanasia is death with dignity, or simply murder. Formerly called mercy killing, euthanasia means a gentle and easy death. There are many people in the United States who are suffering from ongoing pain. If someone wants to die they should be able to make that decision for themselves. In the Constitution, it is stated that all United States citizens have the right to life. Therefore, why shouldnt people also have the right to death? If someone wants to end their life due to a major illness or severe pain, that should be their right as a human being. In this case, who is to say what is morally ...
- 876: Why Hamlet Is A Hero
- ... feats of nobility along with courage. In William Shakespeare s Hamlet, young Hamlet is obviously the hero of the play. Stranded in the middle of a court full of corruption, faced with his father s death and his mother s almost immediate remarriage, Hamlet somehow comes out of it a hero in the reader s minds. It is his courageousness and nobility that lead him through his revenge, virtually unscathed by ... it because he now believes that there s a divinity that shapes our ends (V.ii.10), and one must accept that fact. This clearly shows his courage, as he now is able to accept death, something that takes bravery and wisdom. Again, Hamlet s courage is obviously greater than Horatio s. This is what makes Hamlet a greater man than Horatio. Horatio may be the most just throughout the play ... Through these examples, it is evident that Hamlet s courage outweighs that of any other character. Another aspect of Hamlet that brands him the hero of this play is his nobility. Before his father s death, Hamlet is a very intelligent man, sophisticated and cultured. However, one of his flaws was his lack of maturity to deal with death. After his father s death, he has changed but he is ...
- 877: Euthanasia
- Euthanasia An eighty-seven year old grandmother on a respirator, a newborn child with AIDS, and a father in a coma; all put to death by respectable doctors with the O.K. of their families. But is it really "O.K."? Euthanasia, or doctor-assisted suicide, has become as common as jumping off of a fifteen story building or taking a gun to one's own head. Certainly society frowns upon suicide, but yet putting an old lady or a man in a coma to death is being accepted every day. Society knows that suicide is bad, but euthanasia is even worse. The guilt and blame of a lost life is falling on the hands of doctor's that we are supposed to trust, and even worse, the family members themselves. A doctor is to be known as a healer, not an agent of death. A family is supposed to love and support, not kill and inherit. Every person makes the light of the world brighter. The world needs everyone's power and contribution. It's the power and ...
- 878: Ernest Hemingway and A Farewell to Arms
- ... in Pamplona, Spain. He planned on calling this book Fiesta, but changed the name to The Sun Also Rises, a saying from the Bible. This book, as in his other books, shows Hemingway obsessed with death. In 1927, Ernest found himself unhappy with his wife and son. They decided to divorce and he married Pauline, a woman he had been involved with while he was married to Hadley. A year later ... A common theme throughout Hemingway's stories is that no matter how hard we fight to live, we end up defeated, but we are here and we must go on. At age 31 he wrote Death in the Afternoon, about bullfighting in his beloved Spain. Ernest was a restless man; he traveled all over the United States, Europe, Cuba and Africa. At the age of 37 Ernest met the woman who ... and so he created lives by writing stories. Hemingway acted out his feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness by hunting, drinking, spending lots of money and having many girlfriends. I think that Hemingway was obsessed with death and not too sane. His obsession shows itself in the morbid death of Miss Barkley and her child. Hemingway was probably very confused about religion and sin and somehow felt or feared that people ...
- 879: ON Doc Hollidays Death Bed
- ... deck, this would explain why Doc might have won everytime he used it. The deck of cards might also have been in Docs pocket because it is said that at the time of his death, Doc had just finished playing a game of poker with his only friend Wyatt Earp. This tale is backed up most openly by Hollywood, where movies such as Tombstone show Docs final day as ...
- 880: The Outsiders: An Analysis
- ... of the story was sensible and easy to understand. It was clear and simple, and the events have occurred in a reasonable order. The ending of the story was a bit expected. I anticipated the death of Johnny because a broken neck usually means death. The death of Dally was not as predictable as Johnny's death because it was said that: He was tougher than the rest of ustougher, colder, meaner. (page 19). I did not think that such ...
