- 1701: Cyrano De Bergerac 4
- ... of rejection is terrifying enough to him that he is unable to tell Roxane that he loves her deeply. Cyrano feigns the love letters for Christian, who is not greatly skilled in the field of writing. This action seems to be a brilliant idea, but it causes a great beguilement since Roxane has deeply fallen in love with both Christian s looks and Cyrano's persuasive writing. A situation for a poet! Come. Shall we collaborate? I ll be your cloak Of darkness, your each anted sword, your ring To charm the fairy Princess! (Cyrano, P.86) If Cyrano hadn t write ... man. He should have had the courage to deliver the letter himself. If he had signed the letter and given it to Roxane, perhaps she would be angry and dejected at first, but his eloquent writing would eventually have won her love and admiration. However, Cyrano doesn t consider the consequence of this behavior. He should have realized that realistically he is not helping Christian. His idea only harms both ...
- 1702: The Social Construction Of Rea
- ... EVALUATION Various devices are incorporated into the article to present a stronger argument. Among the tools used are: anecdote, syllogism, rhetorical virtuosity, appeal to authority and other scattered techniques. ANECDOTE (a fictional story that conveys personal opinion, lacks systematic evidence yet is interesting) 1) "Whether I . . . am viewing the panorama of New York City or whether I become conscious of an inner anxiety, the process of consciousness involved are intentional in both instances."(p.20) This anecdote attempts to illustrate the common intentional nature of all consciousness. It is a personal opinion and lacks analytic support. Evaluation: I find this anecdote to confuse the statement wished to prove. The article states that consciousness intends or is directed toward objects. Anxiety is a subjective experience that would ... provides an excellent illustration of such playing on the part of adults.The transition between realities is marked by the rising and falling of the curtain."(p.25) This excerpt sounds like more of a personal opinion anecdote. Evaluation: It does not appear to be a valid argument that spectators in a theater are transported magically to another reality while watching the performance. The article clearly states earlier that escaping ...

- ... bias with the characters in their stories. Carter s main character being a female whom is clever, strong, and an in-depth thinker who is always thinking ahead. This shows that the author was probably writing during the women s movement, where women began entering the work place and becoming more than mere objects or at home mothers. On the other hand Perrault s view of a young innocent child, shows ... forest. The way a story reads is a big difference in finding out about the writer s purpose. The style of their writings included literary elements such as metaphors and similes, as well as descriptive writing. The readability of a story can show the approximate time that the stories were written. During Carter s time she described a young gentleman carrying a rifle and the gory details, for example, The hunter ... not know that it was dangerous to stop and listen to a wolf. (360) Carter used a lot of metaphors and similes in her works. I like to think experiences that she had influenced her writing. She thinks men are beasts, could be from bad dates. Perrault used a very rhythmic and poetic structure. In his days it was much easier to pass down stories and fairy tales if you ...

- ... most citizens of our country are familiar with it. Yet as every second of the day passes, more and more of my money and yours is being allotted to this growing epidemic called welfare. The Personal Responsibility Act, signed by the President, was a monumental change in welfare as we know, or used to know it.

- 1705: Virginia Woolf
- ... to my knowledge of books I believe the majority I read are excellent. Virginia Woolf to many, is a prominent writer. I wish I could say the same as well. I can not judge her writing for I have just began to study such remarkable essayists. I can state this, her ability to capture ones mind is unprecedented. She does it so well, it is almost natural. It is clear in ... In the same essay she has many more examples of imagery, more than can be expressed. I am beginning to believe she is as remarkable as people say. The more and more I read her writing, the more I began to believe this. She grabs my attention faster and more intensely than any other essayist. Many people believe her writing style is hard to comprehend, which I can understand why. This allows her examples of imagery to go far beyond other great essayists. Her vocabulary is exceedingly more advanced and at a higher pace ...

- ... order (Burgess 121). F. What Golding senses is that institutions and order imposed form with out are temporary, but that man’s irrationality and urge for destruction are enduring.... (Karl 119). VI. Other Works: A. Writing Style: 1. In each of [his] novels, the manner is indirect, the symbols rarely clarified, and the methods of narration uncondescending and stringent (Karl 119). 2. There is in all of Golding’s work [a ... Flies and The Inheritors attack the pride of modern man who fancies that he is a rational creature in control of his own destiny and both employ the same device (Baker 19). 2. Golding’s writing is not ideally suited to a social novel- it is angular and ugly and the dialogue occasionally sounds immature (Sheed 121). 3. Golding is obviously striving to move behind the conventional matter of the contemporary ... tension (Dick 121).” This is usually the key thing that makes a Golding novel a Golding novel. Lord of the Flies ,one of William Golding’s many novels, is a well written, well thought out writing that depicts the evils of human nature. William Golding the man himself is qualified enough to write about such topics because he was involved heavily in W.W.II. This caused Golding’s views ...

- ... never succeed in keeping them alive due to his different habits. What made Edgar Allen Poe? Through his lifetime many different misfortunes and disasters would strike him.

- 1708: Abortion
- ... opinion. The fight between pro-life and pro-choice supporters has been long and brutal. This is because, despite what several people may believe, abortion is neither right nor wrong. It is a matter of personal opinion and it varies from person to person. In this way, each side can say with certainty that the other side is wrong. Therefore, the question remains; should abortion be legal? Though some may disagree ... America is killed by abortion, over one half million babies a year (Willke 7). Abortion is the choice of a woman whether or not she want’s to receive one. Under the 14th Amendment’s “personal liberty” women are given the right to receive an abortion. The 14th Amendment’s concept of “personal liberty” and restrictions on state action is enough to allow a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. The right to choose to have an abortion is so personal and essential ...

- ... are those who articulate the feelings and views of the poor, namely, the Permissive Position, who see them as victims of our society and deserving of community support. The problems of the poor range from personal (abandonment or death of the family income earner) to the social (racial prejudice in the job market) and economic (collapse in the market demand for their often limited skills due to an economic recession or ... poor is a poisoned chalice that encourages the poor to pursue a life of poverty opposing their own long-term interests as well of those of society in general. Here, high values are placed on personal choice. Each participant in society is a responsible individual who is able to make his own decisions in order to manipulate the progression of his own life. In conjunction with this opinion, if you are ... people on welfare are largely responsible for our economic and social ills, that they are lazy, deviants who will not work unless forced to do so. Workfare creates the assumption that unemployment is caused by personal choice or lack of work ethic. However, due to the fact that we have well over one million people in Canada actively looking for work, this is a ridiculous assumption. Fifteen thousand people lined ...

- ... bid); for Weber this then led the Calvinists to make profits, which were not spent on many things, but had to be re-invested back in to the business. Weber described this in his following writing; When the limitations of consumption is combined with this release of acquisitive activity, the inevitable result is obvious; accumulation of capital through an ascetic compulsion to save. The restraints which were imposed on the compulsion ... am now going to look at the evidence which Weber used to back up his argument. In looking at predestination, Weber first saw this as being the Calvinists most characteristic dogma . Weber used the following writing of Calvin to use as evidence of the doctrine; In finding evidence for worldly asceticism, Weber first looked at the implementation of the Book of sports in the 17th Century(ibid). This book was made ... a similar point. In his writings Baxter shows how the Protestant ethic encouraged saving, and spending in the glory of God, as well as the limitation of being prodigal, which Weber shows in the following writing of Baxter; Every penny which is paid upon yourselves and children, and friends must be done by Gods own appointment and to serve and please him.
