- 2881: Methods of Control
- ... respect they will say something like: " Just come home at a reasonable time." There is a great deal of trust involved in that. Parents want to keep their kids happy by giving them their own personal space. A teen will be happier if he doesn't feel trapped at home while his friends are having a good time. In the end, if one can trust their kids to do right there is no harm in not setting a curfew, but like I stated before, it can cause trouble. I have stated my personal opinion which is not persuade you in one direction, but to help you gather the facts so you can make your own decision. All parents are different; so in the end it is a decision ...

- ... test files and other such study aids available for the benefit of their members. Most fraternity members are also eligible to receive a number of different scholarships and awards based on academic excellence, leadership, and personal achievement which can contribute to both the resume and the self-esteem of the person receiving such an honor.

- 2883: Emma: All Human Beings Are Judging
- ... we can also say that Fowls was a liberalist. He did not judge or condemn his own heroine. Instead, he smirked at the social conventions that initially imprisoned Sarah (or Emma and Anna). Fowles was writing a very different kind of story than the other ones we have been discussing. His story was not aimed at upholding the moral codes but to destroy them. Unlike Flauber and Tolstoy, Fowls did not ... seem to imprison her heroine least with judgements because he allowed Sarah to break the rules and have choices without being severely punished. Nevertheless, Tolstoy might argue that, for the kind of story he was writing, it was impossible to arrive at his points without imprisoning his heroine, and he was just trying to reflect the problems of that society. It is usually easier for a twentieth century writer to look ...
- 2884: Big Two-Hearted River
- ... only possibly in the first person, there is just one instance in In Our Time in which a character speaks in the first person. It occurs in "Big Two-Hearted River: Part II", an intensely personal story which completely immerses the reader in the actions and thoughts of Nick Adams. Hemingway's utilization of the omniscient third person narrator allows the reader to visualize all of Nick's actions and surroundings ... t include, "he thought," or, "he said to himself," and so it is unclear. The result is the same regardless. Using first person narration at this point serves to make the story more alive, more personal. It jolts the reader into realizing the humanity of Nick; he is no longer the object of a story but a real person. If Nick is making so much stir over it that he speaks ...
- 2885: Michelangelo
- ... in the 1540s, his main energies were directed toward architecture during this phase of his life. Instead of being obedient to classical Greek and Roman practices, Michelangelo used motifs-columns, pediments, and brackets-for a personal and expressive purpose. A Florentine-although born March 6, 1475, in the small village of Caprese near Arezzo-Michelangelo continued to have a deep attachment to his city, its art, and its culture throughout his ... his view of himself and the world even more directly in his poetry than in the other arts. Much of his verse deals with art and the hardships he underwent, or with Neoplatonic philosophy and personal relationships. The great Renaissance poet Ludovico Ariosto wrote succinctly of this famous artist: "Michael more than mortal, divine angel." Indeed, Michelangelo was widely awarded the epithet"divine" because of his extraordinary accomplishments. Two generations of ...
- 2886: 1984: Control is Power
- ... into your mind, but if you live your own thoughts their thoughts mean nothing to the person on the inside. Yet, the Party would have their ways with people physically. Orwell's main purpose of writing the book was to warn people about too much power before it actually does happen. At first I did not like the book beacause it was hard to understand. But as you get into it everything gets to be explain and you can piece things together. I think Orwell was successful in writing this book because many things that he describes happen in the world today in a smaller sense though. I learned that with so much power you can do anything. I would recommend this book to ...

- 2888: Common Problem Faced in First Time College Students
- ... the Teacher explained as an example. The grades I received on my essays were never failing. Although they weren’t my best. I honestly thought my teacher would think my essays were exceptional. I despised writing essays because I thought I was so disgusting at it. In this section, Roberts says “It will almost always turn out to be easier to write interestingly on that side” (the unusual side). It’s ... write no matter how horrible I think it sounds and go from there. As long as I have something to work with, something on paper, I’m happy. The last thing I think about in writing any paper is what my teacher’s opinion of the discussed topic. Teachers’ always think the opposite of what I’m feeling.

- 2889: Owl Creek Bridge
- ... reality he is simply distorted due to the rope. Owl Creek Bridge is structured in a very manipulative way. The story begins at a point which is just before the end of the story. The writing style is quite formal and the language used is cynical, angry and in a way ironic. The story of the narrative is developed in the first paragraph, inviting the question of why this man is ... soldier receives a drink from ‘the white hands’ of his wife. It never occurs to him that others equally devoted to victory might actually deceive him. Otherwise, acting like a soldier gets him hanged. The writing style is elaborate. As we read further on, we realise Farquhar was a southern farmer. I think this is put across by Bierce to increase our pity for the man and symbolises innocence. As section ...
- 2890: The Role of Fate in Antigone
- ... death, and even Creon’s last minute efforts could not change her destiny. Thus, Antigone, perhaps one of the most noble of literature’s characters, is a victim of fate and destiny and not of personal pride or obstinance. Ancestry, human law, and personal actions all lead to Antigone’s downfall but none could prevent them, because fate controls the life of Antigone. A marionette of the gods, the strings obvious and tight, pull her from here to there ...
