- 10911: Jane Eyre: The Preserverance of the Personality
- ... Personality It is a curious task to read Jane Eyre as a psychological investigation. The possibility unmistakably offers itself - it is made explicit in the text. The "Reader" cannot neglect such points as the heroine's constant and unusual awareness of her position in company, i.e. inferiority-equality-superiority; the priority of 'inward' actions over the actual events; the elaboration of the construction by recurring features - major themes varied; or ... such an environment is the underlying subject of the novel, which can serve as our aim of exploration. The opening chapters of the work are as crucial as childhood can be; the books, especially Bewick's British Birds, that Jane reads at Gateshead determine her imagination: in the pictures she paints, the way she interprets her story. The shocking account of that extreme terror and brutality she suffers from John and ... as one of the servants observed: "Did ever anybody see such a picture of passion!" ), which like a volcano erupts at times in the form of revolt against the "tyrants". It seems that the child's most burning question is what kind of role she plays in the Reed house: if young John is her "master", she consequently has to be a servant, yet, she is regarded less than a ...
- 10912: Charlotte’s Web And Watership
- In light of the description of anthropomorphism, I think it is only fitting to use the novels Charlotte’s Web and Watership Down to demonstrate them. While both of these novels show animals behaving in different manners, they are both uncharacteristic of normal animal behaviour. Charlotte’s Web shows animals behaviour as primarily human while Watership Down demonstrates animals behaving mostly as animals. This said, we see that both these novels show their characters with human traits, however they are all confined to their physical limitations as animals. A perfect example of this is Charlotte, from Charlotte’s Web. However the activities, physical and mental, actions and behaviour demonstrated by the rabbits in Watership Down are typically the things that humans would expect from rabbits. This said, Charlotte’s behaviour in Charlotte’ ...
- 10913: Socialism
- ... been striving to eliminate or at least mitigate this conflict. The first socialist movement emerged in France after the Revolution and was led by Francois BABEUF, Filippo Buonarrotti (1761-1837), and Louis Auguste BLANQUI; Babeuf's revolt of 1796 was a failure. Other early socialist thinkers, such as the comte de SAINT-SIMON, Charles FOURIER, and Etienne CABET in France and Robert OWEN and William Thompson (c.1785-1833) in England ... masses toward socialism, irrespective of the masses' inclinations. SCHISM AND CONTROVERSY Throughout the 19th century the socialist movement was beset by a number of ever-deepening conflicts and doctrinal controversies. The Internationals The International Workingmen's Association (First International; see INTERNATIONAL, SOCIALIST), founded in 1864, was expected to achieve unity among various socialist and militant trade union organizations, but its efforts were greatly hindered by, among other things, the conflict between ... socialism was compatible with individual economic responsibility. He rejected, furthermore, the idea of "class morality," which judged all actions according to their revolutionary import. Instead he advocated a code of individual morality, derived from Kant's moral philosophy. Consequently, Bernstein asserted the need for socialists to concentrate on immediate tasks instead of ultimate and remote objectives; the movement, he wrote, was everything; the goal, nothing. This doctrine, henceforward called revisionism, ...
- 10914: Kevorkian Essay
- Jack Kevorkian is one of America's most controversial people. Since 1989 he has aided in the death of over one hundred people, some as young as twenty-one.

First, a solution of sedatives began, followed by a paralyzing drug. Then potassium chloride would stop the heart, causing death. Kevorkian's second machine was very similar to the first one, but it had fewer moving parts and did not include the paralyzing drug.

- 10915: Death, Rebirth
- ... have their own opinions. Death is a symbol which has been linked to many objects, however, it continues to represent new meanings in new ways. Death is the theme which encompasses and underlies Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and James Joyce’s “The Dead” using opposite elements; moreover, from the surrounding death, both main characters, Marlow and Gabriel, go through a symbolic rebirth. Before it is proven how Marlow and Gabriel have symbolic rebirths, it first must be shown how death exemplifies itself within the works, as it does through three main elements: the motif, the setting and the characters. While it is obvious that James Joyce’s title for the his work, “The Dead” refers to the death the story portrays, Joseph Conrad’s book Heart of Darkness, expresses death through its title in a more subtle way by depicting it ...
