- 20055: The Nasty Restroom
- ... Kleenex, its contents oozing through the cheap single-ply tissue, I opened the door to the bathroom stall. I cautiously touched only the part of the lock that seemed the least bacteria infested. I couldn’t guess what color the toilet seat was supposed to be because it was slimed in filth. A roach scampered out from under the seat and stared at me blankly for a second, only to scurry ... relieved myself and tiptoed to the sink. While cleansing my hands, the very sight of the sink made me wonder if using it would clean my hands or only contaminate them more. Globs of traveler’s toothpaste stuck to the cold water handle were teeming with ants, and clumps of hair gripped tightly to the drain. After thoroughly washing my hands under the hot water, I blindly grabbed for a paper ... first I was upset at my loss, but then I became furious. I rolled up my sleeves and began to root through the sludge for it. Inside, I witnessed a mass of matter I hadn’t until that day ever viewed so rank. First I cast aside a carton of milk from centuries ago, containing a small pool of remnant lactose, spoiled into a creamy matter. A cold shiver ran ...
- 20056: Criminal Insanity
- ... is. Insanity applies to criminals in an interesting way. If a criminal does not know the difference between right and wrong then can they be held accountable for the crimes they commit? If they don't understand that what they are doing is a crime then should they be punished as if they were criminals or treated as patients with a disease? This problem is one that has plagued courts, lawyers ... someone being criminally insane as well. For example, "Charles Manson was an ex-convict and had spent more than half his life in prison before the age of 35" ("Charles..."). Why the court system didn't identify the potential in Manson to become criminally insane is unexplainable. Psychiatrist Helen L. Morrison, and expert on criminal psychology has said about the criminally insane, "These are basically cookie-cutter people, so much alike ... A conglomeration of lifeless objects that have no true importance and therefore it does not matter whether they live or die? Dr. Morrison says about insane criminals, "Murder to him is no more than child's play, like taking apart a clock to see what makes it tick" (Methvin, 35). It would appear that this is indeed the way they see other human beings. Although in theory all of these ...
- 20057: Eating Disorders
- ... be thin and have the so-called “perfect body”, women tend to become depressed and self-conscious of their bodies. In this country, dangerous fad diets are marked widely.

- 20058: Macbeth 3
- ... to commit it. However, after she hears that Macbeth is returning home, she calls upon evil spirits and other demonic entities to give her some aid.

Then, when Macbeth arrived, just after she finished praying for help, she acts as if she has a heart of stone and ... her deception towards him, and how she acts differently when she is alone than when she is around him. Another example of her being two sided is the role she talks about playing in Duncan s death, and the role that she actually does play in it. There are a few times in the play, mostly when she is attempting to persuade Macbeth into committing the murder, that she says he should just leave the murder to her. Throughout the play she gradually decreases her role in the murder until it becomes Macbeth s job to kill Duncan, not hers. This is another very large trick on her part, but one that Macbeth also fails to see; Whether it is because he chooses not to, or because he ...

From this incident Griffin realized that the blacks always did not have a chance to ... were many similar cases. Racism is getting more serious in this world. People should care about each other regardless of their nationality, then the universe will become more harmonious. Moreover, people should learn from Griffin’s bravery. He was willing to tell everyone what he experienced and how white people do wrong. Everyone should always strive for the rights, which they deserve. Black Like Me was a very touching, adventurous, ...
- 20060: Choices And Consequences In Fr
- Everyone is a traveler, carefully choosing which roads to follow on the map of life. There is never a straight path that leaves one with but a single direction in which to head. Robert Frost s The Road Not Taken can be interpreted in many different ways. The shade of light in which the reader sees the poem depends upon her past, present, and the attitude with which she looks toward her future. In any case however, this poem clearly demonstrates Frost s belief that it is the road that one chooses that makes him the man he is.
