- 17813: Archetypes in A Rose for Emily
- ... and their effects are felt in our most personal life. A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner contains many of this particular critical method. Although there are several archetypes found, the most important is Emily's father. Archetypes are like riverbeds which dry up when the water deserts them, but it can find it again at any time. This short story offers many interpretations. However, the structure of the story breaks down into two stages: past and present. By examining the archetypes within the story, it can be suggested that Emily's over-protective father stands to represent Emily's feminist struggle, the ongoing battle for women to have an equal place in society. Emily should be able to do as she pleases, but her dependence her father does not allow her to have ...

Serbian believe that there peopleis more valuable than Austria-Hungry's threat. Serbian view is that, "Why should we give are people when they are being 'Patriotic' to our nation." So basically what this meant was, a rephrase of one of United States Article codes of ... Fighting for freedom, responsible for my action and dedicated to the principles which made my country free, I will trust in my God and the United States of America." So basically Serbia was protecting it's people for what the nation though was right. I mean, in my opinion, If I shot Hussain or Melosavitch(spell?) U.S. Government would probably not turn me in. Even if they say that they do not participate in assassination, because of the Geneva Convention. This almost or is the same with Serbian at that time. ...

- 17818: Ad Ananlysis
- Is there anything more appealing to a man's senses than beautiful women in tight, revealing dresses? Ok, maybe if the women were naked. Ad designers know their target consumers, and how to get their attention. A good ad can put ideas into the reader's head, and influence them to try out the product being advertised. Every aspect of an ad, from the wording through what magazine it appears in, has relevance to selling its product. As I was flipping ... is why the FX network chose to place their ad for "The X Show" in Sports Illustrated.

- 17819: Anselms Ontological Argument
- ... God (had He existed in reality) might have been greater than He is (existing only in the understanding). Based on that supposition, God is not the being than which none greater is possible. If Anselm s initial definition of God is substituted into the previous inference, it becomes a contradictory statement: the being than which none greater is possible is not the being than which none greater is possible. Therefore Anselm ... false. By proving this to be invalid Anselm has, in effect, proven that God must exist in the understanding and reality. This final conclusion, that God must exist in reality, is the goal of Anselm s argument. Chapters III, and IV of Proslogium support Anselm argument by explaining in depth the definition of God. He asserts that nothing greater can be conceived that is not God and that if a mind could conceive of a being better than God, that creature would rise above God. In Chapter V Anselm proceeds to deduce God s nature from the same basic definition of Him as something greater than which cannot be thought. He arrives as all the standard attributes: just, truthful, blessed, and whatever it is better to be than ...
