- 1001: Can Sociology Be Value Free
- ... to concede that social research involves the use of concepts and constants that are tainted by the researcher. Wittingly or otherwise. That sociology could not be value free but argue that the deliberate dissemination of personal values be avoided in lectures and publications.

- 1005: Understanding Holden Caulfield
- ... expresses this through his true self (Lee 103) which allows him to “editorialize gloriously, fire off opinions" (Costello 96), and even, as it appears, brazenly flaunt his resentment at all the unlooked to burdens of writing autobiography (Mellard 212). The negative nature of Holden’s inner self is shown through his two roommates, Ackley and Stradlater. Ackley is the negative image of self - "ugly, pimply, self absorbed" (Branch 43). Stradlater is ... completely understand all of the character's complexities and flaws. He penned Holden Caulfield to be purposely enigmatic; to evade all attempts to pin him down to one stereotype. Salinger himself became a recluse after writing this book and the reader can only assume that some of Salinger's own personal problems are mirrored in his portrayal of Holden. Because of this, only through more scholarly analysis of The Catcher in the Rye, can one hope to have a better comprehension of Holden. Kennedy 6 ...

He uses the poet’s point of view to display how the Monk, the Friar, and the Pardoner were using the word of God to deceive people and gain personal wealth and pleasure. By using both the point of views of the poet and the pilgrim, Chaucer has been attracting readers for the hundreds of years with his amazingly complicated writing techniques. “The Canterbury Tales” have been around since the late 1300’s and people can still relate to the characters today.

- 1007: The-sort-of-economic Constitut
- ... the thirteen colonies with universal rules, laws, and regulations on all concerning issues. Many subjects were discussed; distributions of power locally and nationally, enforcement of the terms of the distribution, taxation, and commerce. Throughout the writing of the Constitution, issues that concerned the economy, such as taxation and economic powers, were uncovered, but in the end, a central theme became clear. The Constitution was written to control the rights of power ... effect on the framers themselves. However, Henry Steele Commager argued that theory with a theory of his own. Commager was able to prove that even though economics was discussed and was an issue in the writing of the Constitution, politics and power were the major concerns of the framers. The writers of the Constitution, according to Commager, were more worried about properly distributing governmental powers and control of land than their gaining a personal benefit from raising land value to help themselves. Larger issues such as the distribution of the power which allowed the authority to tax, the raising of armies, regulating commerce, controlling of contracts, enacting bankruptcy ...
- 1008: Tradgedy 2
- ... failure, lacked the foundation to fully reach the self set goals for which they strived. The tragic man is ready to lay down his life, if need be, to secure one thing- his sense of personal dignity. Tragedy is the consequence of a man s total compulsion to evaluate himself justly. (Miller) Oedipus, Macbeth and Gatsby were all self critical perfectionists, for whom nothing was ever good enough. Their personal dignity lost its strength when there were close, but not on, the next level of power and accomplishment. They had always fooled others into believing that they were good enough at the point at which ... continued until they reached a point where they felt they had superseded their ability and their deceptive charade began to crumble. They were so highly critical that it was not others who eventually crushed their personal dignity, but their own ideals of success and failure.

- 1009: Drown: A Consideration
- ... sentence. Diaz uses them to keep readers aware of Yunior’s culture and homeland, attempting to stop the "stifling" effect America often has on immigrants’ cultures. Also, Yunior’s rejection of the norms of English writing, evident in the phrases "got themselves" and "nothing to nobody" in the above quote, gives his narratives a certain rebellious quality. Not only does he rebel against America’s tendency to smother cultural values but ... another speaker. Diaz successfully attacks the United States in Yunior’s defense, but through language style rather than blatant statements. Yunior’s narration, besides being a political one, also appears very negative, but also extremely personal. His voice is conversational, which has a powerful effect: …trooped back into the living room with their plates a-heaping and all the adults ducked back into the living room, where the radio was playing ... its false promises. The juxtaposed images represent the countries, opposites in Yunior’s mind. Yunior feels his homeland slipping away while America takes over, his culture fading on American soil: The fact that I am writing to you in English already falsifies what I wanted to tell you. My subject: how to explain to you that I don’t belong to English though I belong no where else. (Drown, 1) ...

He uses similes such as, 'Bent double, like old beggars under sacks ... cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues.' These two images powerfully discourage the mere thought of war by terrifying the reader through emotionally frightening descriptions. Owen moves the images from a general concept to personal illustration by addressing the reader directly through saying, 'If you could hear'. Now, it is indicated to the reader that they must place themselves in this situation, and evoke the setting and all associated ...
