- 23511: Beowulf
- ... I read in class was far better than I expected. I was able to understand it easily both from a poetic and dialect standpoint. The story was also very suspenseful and far ahead of it's time for action. This poem was written in a very easily understood, straightforward fashion. Even though it was arranged in lines, you read as if it wasn't. The sheet that accompanies the story explains, "Read Beowulf as you would read prose, stopping not at the end of each line, but at end punctuation that shows the end of a sentence." The dialect ... 53 of the story. "Then each warrior tried to escape him, searched for rest in different beds, as far from Herot as they could find, seeing how Grendel hunted when they slept."

This story is very vivid and imaginative from a period in ...
- 23512: The Classification System In Greek Drama
- ... were limited in the amount of actors they could bring to festivals, the plays were cheaper to produce. This became extremely important to the companies who traveled around the state performing their work. They didn't have to create large troupes to compete with other plays.

Because more dialogue was told through the actors the chorus didn't have to say as much to explain the story. The three-actor rule had its disadvantages also. One of these was the chorus became less significant. The actors were giving most of the story by ... play one character in one scene and a different character in another scene. Actors playing different characters led to some other disadvantages. Sometime an actor would play a son in one scene and the son's mother in another. Different actors could have the same role.

Facts and knowledge of the killer were acquired in that scene. The connection between the play and wisdom is that Oedipus needed to prove his innocence of the ...
- 23514: Bar Mitzvah
- ... I aspire to be one of them, like Aaron was thousands of years ago. Today, politicians are no better, and, on many occasions, even worse. They believe they can lead this country, but they can't even keep their moral standards or oaths. Wherever we look at people as leaders, they do something to prove they are unfit for this title. Sports figures, politicians, actors, and actresses, have been looked up to as role models and leaders, and many of them have been brought down by their own immoral standards. Some of today's lawyers bend the truth. People, who deserve a life in prison walk free today because of people who twist the facts. Their is a definite similarity between those who have power but do not have moral standards today and Aaron's sons thousands of years ago. In all these years people have not changed. Now people have technology that allows them to break laws even easier than thousands of years ago. Without pressure on law ...

Throughout the novel the children seem to be constantly looking for food. The children find their food by learning how to hunt and learning how to fish: She didn t tell him but ever since leaving the gully she d been searching for berries, in vain (Marshall, 29). This quote is telling that they had food but not enough to last them a day, so ... items. The children were able to over come all of these barriers, however, with difficulty.

- 23516: Rap Vs Poetry
- ... culture is integrating many different racial and ethnic groups. It is now socially acceptable for people of all races to enjoy the many aspects of hip hop. Hip hop was spurred in the late 70’s.

For the ... the contrary, most “gangster rappers” do not promote this mixture. Th preach about racial tension, therefore further distancing the posibility of tranquility between races. These negative gangster rappers are the problem with hip hop. Don’t get me wrong; there is nothing wrong with telling about the injustices and harsh nditons of living in the city, but often it is taken too far. The best hip hop out there is what’s called “underground”. Most rappers are underground at first. Unfortunately underground hip hop is not extremely prosperous.

- 23518: The "Around The World" Party at College
- ... the party I could hear the blasting music all the way from the street. When I reached the back of the house to enter I could distinguish the song that was playing; it was “It's good to be King” by Tom Petty. After waiting in a line to enter I was finally in the loud, crowded house. Upon my arrival the host of the party informed me that there were ... he was talking his friend whose job it was to pump the keg when needed. People were sticking their cups in front of the tap as if they were fighting for food, and they hadn't eaten for days. There must of have been twenty people all forcing their cups in the general area of the tap. Once I had my beverage, I decided to go visit the rooms to see ... partying. Everyone who was at the party was there to drink. For some reason college students tend to drink a lot. Some might want to escape reality, others might just like to get drunk.

On the 15th July at Allahabad, British women and children were brutally murdered, and Colonel Neill ordered that ... It would be possible to describe the events of the mutiny in much more detail, but here we need to look at the deeper reasons behind it.

For example, Marx portrays the ... become firmly attached, and this simple categoristion mainly confuses as the dividing line can be very obscure. At the time, the British thought the troubles could be attributed to Muslim instigation, thus viewed the Hindu’s as loyal. The traditional rivalry though, was considered in an artificial framework. It appears that for whatever reason the uprising actually started, such as religious unrest or economic reasons, other factors actually became evident ...

Burgess noted Hayes "greatest struggle which he had with himself ... was the question whether he was deserting the just cause of the black man and ... is impaired". There are many proofs that President Hayes had good intentions when making the policy to end reconstruction. His goal was to help the black man gain and maintain civil rights.
