- 1241: Euthanasia Term Paper
- ... of Euthanasia mostly because they feel that as a democratic country, we as free individuals, have the right to decide for ourselves whether or not it is our right to determine when to terminate someone's life.

The proposition that Milton’s verse-texture is fundamentally unmetaphorical -- far less figurative in Paradise Lost, indeed, than his ordinary prose style -- will be quickly dismissed by those who remember the poem as a series of images such as Satan’s moonlike shield, or Eve as the fairest unsupported flower. The epic simile, however, was traditionally a diversion, a little world unto itself, which did not necessitate a change in the quality of the verse. The ... 119). Both Homer (the originator of the extended/epic simile) and Milton found it necessary to stop short of the complex metaphors that served the dramatists as instruments for psychological exploration and symbolic statement.
