- 13681: Sexuality In Wiseblood
- ... grotesquem. Different levels of the darker side of sexuality are exposed, from perversion to flagrant displays of nudity. It serves to give the novel a bit of a moralistic overtone. The "Carnival Episode" illustrated Hazel’s first experience with sexuality. The author depicts an incident surrounded by an aura of sinfulness. Indeed, the show’s promoter claims that it is "SINsational." In his anxiousness to view the sideshow, Haze resorted to lying about his age. He was that eager to see it. When he enters the tent, Haze observes the ... at the body, he first thought that it was a skinned animal. When he realized what it was, he at once left the tent, ashamed, and perhaps frightened of the object before his eyes. Hazel’s reaction was not unnatural. The sight with which he was confronted would invoke both fear and embarassment within most ten-year-olds. Not only was the body nude, but it was inside a casket ...
- 13682: The Rise of Communism in Russia
- The Rise of Communism in Russia Unless we accept the claim that Lenin's coup that gave birth to an entirely new state, and indeed to a new era in the history of mankind, we must recognize in today's Soviet Union the old empire of the Russians -- the only empire that survived into the mid 1980s (Luttwak, 1). In their Communist Manifesto of 1848, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels applied the term communism to ... of which Marxism-Leninism is a takeoff, originated in the West. Designed in France and Germany, it was brought into Russia in the middle of the nineteenth century and promptly attracted support among the country's educated, public-minded elite, who at that time were called intelligentsia (Pipes, 21). After Revolution broke out over Europe in 1848 the modern working class appeared on the scene as a major historical force. ...
- 13683: Merry-Go-Round In The Sea - Ra
- In Randolph Stowe's novel, "MERRY-GO-ROUND IN THE SEA", the problems of adolescence and early adulthood are a primary focus. Many factors contribute to the complexity of these problems, the main issues being h effect war has on a growing boy and the loss of Rick's carefree attiude and innocence through the trauma he endured as a POW. Not only does Stowe concentrate on phychological changes within the main characters, but also the physical changes time influcts upon them. Stowe effectively includes these issues as part of the novel's cycle, which is represented by the symbol, the merry-go-round. As a small child, the war had a shattering effect on Rob, though in his naivety it was no obvious to himself. The ...
- 13684: The First Amendment
- ... enjoy the freedoms that he knows are rightfully his. He reflects the American desire for freedom now when he says, "I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread." He recognizes the need for freedom in its entirety without compromise or fear. I think Langston Hughes captures the essence of the American immigrants' quest for freedom in his poem, "Freedom's Plow." He accurately describes American's as arriving with nothing but dreams and building America with the hopes of finding greater freedom or freedom for the first time. He depicts how people of all backgrounds worked together for one cause: ...
- 13685: Comparison And Contrast Of Lit
- ... can be determined easily by comparing works of the same basic plots and characters. Also by contrasting the same two works is equally as important. Little Red Riding Hood by Charles Perrault and Angela Carter s The Company of Wolves are perfect examples. The writer s purpose, characterization, and readability shows one of many ways of pinpointing the author s bias. Clearly Carter and Perrault show a 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 ...
- 13686: David Copperfield
- ... title: 'The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, and Observation of David Copperfield, the Younger, of Bluderstone Rookery. (Which he never meant to published on any account.) This complete title strongly suggests that this is one man's story written for himself. It was also supposed to 'never have been published on any account.' Later in chap 42 this condition is repeated: 'this manuscript is intended for no eyes but mine.' Of course this is part of the fiction, after all we are reading David's story ourselves when we reach this sentence. What is David Copperfield about? I pose myself this question to help illustrate how much of an autobiography this book really is, the simplest answer is of course that it is about David Copperfield himself and his development as a man. Although after having read several biography's done on the author Charles Dickens, I was led to believe that this book is very near Dickens own life, for example his father, John Dickens does seem to have been a warm and ...

After Mel Gibson’s portrayal of Wallace in the award winning movie, Braveheart, there was a dramatic rise in the popularity and recognition of the Scottish hero.

- 13690: Machiavelli's The Prince: Views of A Leader
- Machiavelli's The Prince: Views of A Leader In The Prince, Machiavelli offers his views on how a leader should rule his country based upon his past analysis of history. This advice was designed to help keep ... cruel, deceitful, and hypocritical view of how one should govern the world for he believed that it was the only way to govern men as they are. In Chapter XVII we can see clearly Machiavelli's exceedingly pessimistic view of man: he says "that they are ungrateful, fickle, dissembling, anxious to flee in danger and covetous of gain" (Prince 60). If Machiavelli were to advise President Clinton about lying under oath, he would probably say that President Clinton is hardly unique when it comes to temptation and dishonesty. He would think that President Clinton attempted to do the right thing. Machiavelli's first piece of advice would be to keep a good public image so that Clinton will remain well respected. Machiavelli states that a man "must maintain himself in such a high standard that no ...
