- 22013: Animal Farm Theme
- Animal Farm Theme Theme. What is it? A theme is a central idea of a story that usually reveals something about human nature. A theme is usually unstated as are the themes in George Orwell’s Animal Farm. One theme that can be taken away from the story is weakness can be easily dominated through language and ignorance. This will be seen through the manipulative language of Squealer and the gullibility ... to special privileges in order to keep Jones from coming back. Time and time again the animals are deceived because by agreeing with one thing they believe that they are agreeing with everything. Through Squealer’s manipulative language the animals are tricked into agreeing with Squealer and saying that the pigs need the apples and milk. Another reason supporting the theme is that the pigs were lazy and convinced the other ... think that they should do the work and that the pigs are the natural leaders, therefore; they do not question when the pigs supervise instead of actually working. A third way in which the animal’s weakness’ is used to their disadvantage is when Squealer and Napoleon make the animals question their memories. “Snowball now gave the signal for the charge. He himself dashes straight for Jones”(Orwell 822). Then ...
- 22014: Crime And Punishment
- Crime and Punishment In Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov's dream about the mare can be used as a vehicle to probe deep into his mentality to discover how he really feels inside. The dream suggests that Raskolnikov is a "split" man; after all, his ... is similar to the brutal attack on Alyona by Rodion. (It should be noted that both Alyona and the mare were female.) These heartless attacks foreshadow the crime that Raskolnikov is contemplating. Dostoevsky unveils Raskolnikov's cruel side during this dream, if it is to be interpreted in this way. On the same token, Raskolnikov's compassionate side could be represented by the little boy. The child, watching the beating, ...
- 22015: Crime And Punishment
- ... in the case of the murder. Determining the rationale in killing the old pawnbroker is a complex process that necessitates deep thought from the reader. It is also a difficult point to argue because Dostoevsky’s novel is so intensely detailed that different readers can emphasize different aspects of the book in order to attempt to explain Raskolnikov’s deeds. Guilt as well as intellectual reasoning prove to be the main motivating factors behind the crime of Raskolnikov. Throughout the novel his actions are usually a result of his striking intelligence or his tormenting conscience, or in the situation of the murder, both. Raskolnikov’s idea to kill the old pawnbroker stems from a theory he was developing. It was probable that during his studies at the university he was aquatinted with the popular philosophies of two German thinkers ...
- 22016: The Scarlet Letter: Secrets. We Have Them, We Hide Them, but Can We Live With Them?
- The Scarlet Letter: Secrets. We Have Them, We Hide Them, but Can We Live With Them? Deception is defined by Webster's Dictionary as the art of misrepresentation. Throughout the history of mankind, the use of deception to promote oneself to a higher level, or to hide one's past, has been a common occurrence. In the novel The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne , Chillingworth and Dimmesdale both use deception to hide secrets from each other, and from the rest of the town. Hester ... if he finds out his identity. Chillingworth deserves to know who slept with his wife, although Hester should not have had to tell him. I think that Dimmesdale should have admitted that he was Pearl's father. Today, if a priest admitted such a crime, he would probably be sent to jail. However, in the novel, had Dimmesdale confessed, the townsfolk would have liked him even more. Hester also has ...
- 22017: Light
- ... ms^{-1} ¨ When passing though matter, light is slowed down by brief interactions, and so appears to travel more slowly. ¨ This "slowing down" is accounted for by the index of refraction of the matter. Light's properties can at first seem confusing and inconsistent because of the unique nature of light: light has the properties of both a wave and a particle. In some situations, light's behavior is more easily explained by thinking of light as a particle. In other situations, its behavior can only be explained if light is thought of as a wave. This duality of light between a ... this if light behaves as a particle in this situation, only two stripes of light should end up passing through the entire slit system. The diagram below shows light behaving as a particle in Young's experiment. These results were not what Young actually observed. Instead of seeing two stripes, Young saw a series of many stripes.

Ascending and Descending is another well-known piece by Escher. This architectural drawing illustrated Escher's ability to create realistic designs, or did it? If the viewer took a closer look, he would see that Escher was once again playing with perspective to tell a story symbolically. To every person (monk) walking on the castle's roof, there seemed to be an endless amount of stairs. Yet, these stairs were completely useless. These fictitious monks were either perpetually ascending or descending hence the title. This lithograph appeared to show the ...

The general belief is that once a team is behind by such a large margin, they have no chance to come back and ... even more humiliation if the lopsided game were to continue in the same fashion. The tragedy to this mercy is that no one will ever know how the game would have turned out. When someone’s fate is in the hands of another, the person in control has the option of exploiting this person or helping him or her. Whether or not mercy is granted is entirely up to the party ... showing mercy. Endorsing such slogans as “Take no prisoners” and “Never surrender,” the people of today have been taught to keep the idea of mercy out of their minds.
