- 3021: Julius Caesar - Brutus Character Analysis
- ... this shows how Brutus loved Caesar but cared for the life of Rome and its people more. This is the only reason Brutus would conspire against Caesar. For Brutus says to himself, "I know no personal cause to spurn at him...How that might change his nature..."(act 2, scene1, ll. 1,13) Caesar's relationship with Brutus is also strong. Just allowing Brutus to speak to Caesar shows his respect for Brutus. Caesar feels that Brutus is noble to him and does the right thing regardless of personal danger. On the Ides of March, as Caesar was assassinated, Caesar's last line is: "Et tu, Brute?--Then fall, Caesar."(act 3, scene 1, l.85). This shows that Caesar would not die without ...
- 3022: The Black Death In Europe
- ... end each towns burial count was up to 349 and higher in many cases (Defoe 4). Since this work is an autobiographical account and a first hand account, it made it all the more personal to read, whereas Boccaccios work was a collection of tales. In this work Defoe deeply delves into the dismal everyday life at London during this time: Many houses were then left desolate, all the ... Defoe clearly paints a mental image of the tragedies of everyday life in the town of London during 1665.

- ... involved communist countries to a great extent. Communism has gone wrong in many countries, with the state turning into an authoritarian one, with a few people at the top abusing their power for their own personal gain, at the expense of the other members of the public. In conclusion, I believe that Marx's theories would be beneficial up to a point. I agree that there should be no class distinctions ... of greed and power lust. A communist state, however, would never work, as it is in the human nature to compete against one another, which rules out any social equality one could gain by abolishing personal property.

This is not just stating the obvious that economists, lawyers, biologists, atmospheric scientists, and others bring different expertise ...
- 3025: Virtues of My Life: Order, Courage, Patience
- ... in order to become a confident, successful person. The present day provides impediments which I believe I can overcome by way of morality and virtue. Order, courage, patience, and faith are all virtues necessary for personal achievement in my life. The first virtue I have chosen is order. In agreement with Russell Kirk, I also believe that "order is the path we follow, or the pattern by which we live with ... condition we cannot live without. Without order there is chaos, and with chaos there is room for little virtue. Order is important because it provides life with stability and direction. As an example of a personal order, the school schedule which governs my academic studies is a type of order, setting specifics of where and when I should be.

Some prominent examples of this type of writing include George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World". The places mentioned in those stories were all imaginary. Such a place does not exist in the world as we know it today ... I'm living my life trying to reach a point where I may be happy.

- 3027: Technology in Improving Education Standards
- ... to place all of these massive books onto one small CD. This CD is much simpler than the unpleasant job of flipping page by page just to read about an uninteresting topic, such as history. Writing reports on a type-writer was a displeasing method to write term papers; especially if that student runs out of white- out. Certain programs offer a spell-checker, thesaurus, and other he lpful features, which make writing that term-paper easier. These particular programs are only a few of the educational resources available to students. Most educational boards should be open to any new idea that technology has to offer. It would ...
- 3028: Julius Caesar
- William Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar, is mainly based on the assassination of Julius Caesar. The various men who happened to object to his assassination had different personal desires for their actions. Depending on each of their actions, words or even tone of voice they may misrepresent them and may be misinterpreted. Brutus, Cassius, and Antony had motives for their actions. I will ... people's thoughts and feelings, of not just what is going around us, but also of their attitudes towards us. Shakespeare showed that one should not bring death to someone based on his or her personal desires. If Caesar had listened to others more, and Brutus paid more attention to his judgment, both would have lived a long prosperous life.

As benevolent paternalism and bureaucracy took over, personal freedom tended to disappear. By the third century, to quote the historian Trever, "the relentless system of taxation, requisition, and compulsory labor was administered by an army of military bureaucrats. . . .Everywhere were the ubiquitous personal agents of the emperors to spy out any remotest case of attempted strikes or evasion of taxes." There was no escape from the relentless regimentation which pervaded all aspects of life. For regimentation was the ...
- 3030: 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 ...
