- 23951: An Analysis of "To a Friend Whose Work Has Come to Triumph"
- ... It was a poem believed to be written to reassure a friend that what she ended up doing was a noble thing even though in reality she failed her original task. The title of Sexton's poem is an obvious allusion to Yeats' poem. Sexton changed "Nothing" to "Triumph" in her title. Sexton's friend must have been a fellow poet to be able to catch the allusion to Yeats' poem. I believe she wanted her friend to know that what she did was the right thing. Perhaps she ... personal success, even though his satisfaction and personal glory was short-lived. She wrote "Admire his wings", "wondrously tunneling", and "Who cares that he fell back to the sea", therefore I think that she doesn't believe that the fact Icarus plunged to the sea is important. Many have used the process of allusion in the past to help convey a meaning of a poem. A popular example and choice ...
- 23952: “A Raisin in the Sun”: Struggles
- “A Raisin in the Sun”: Struggles In Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun,” the Younger family faces numerous situations and dilemmas that obstruct their path to a better life and future. They struggle in obtaining money, finding their identity, and dealing with a ... the mail shortly. Lena Younger, more widely known as mama, achieves her dream of buying a house and immediately puts thirty-five hundred dollars down on a new house and sixty-five hundred into Walter’s care. All hope is lost when Walter loses the money and the family ends up back to where they started, with nothing. Though the money is gone, this lifetime dream of Mama and Ruth is ... Youngers is a severe and harsh circumstance of racism and discrimination. Mr. Lindner, a community representative for Clybourne Park Improvement Association, and the residents of the community feel that black families and white families wouldn’t be suitable for living together in the same neighborhood. “It is a matter of the people of Clybourne Park believing, rightly or wrongly, as I say, that for the happiness of all concerned that ...
- 23953: The Adventures Of Huckleberry
- ... time, being mischievous, adventurous and funny. The society Huck lives in labels him "uncivilized" because he has an abusive, drunk father. "... by and by pap got too handy with his hick'ry and I couldn't stand it. I was all over with welts." Here the reader can observe the ultimate failure of an uncivilized person. Pap is an alcoholic, a dead beat and a racist. Nevertheless, society also considered Huck ... that Jim could have been killed or beat. The people of Jims society would not have even listened to him or even considered his reason. "Well, you see, it 'uz dis way. Ole missus-dat's Miss Watson- she pecks on me all de time, en treats me pooty rough, but she alwuz said she wouln' sell me down to Orleans. ... but she could git eight hund'd dollars for me ... live up to that freedom when Miss Watson sells him. Ultimately Twain tries to point that we can still make up for the injustices just as Miss Watson did when she set Jim free. Twain's contemporary society did not react well to the hidden messages in the novel, which would explain why people banned and burned the novel. The people of Twains society did not like being told they ...
- 23954: AIR AND WATER
- A major transition in the modern energy age began in the 1970s, when the big nation’s industry started to grow up rapidly. The use of oil was very important and overnight, oil prices shot through the roof, and the trend of ever-cheaper, ever-more-plentiful energy sources were in need. Another player on the modern energy stage is nuclear power. An industry that didn't exist 40 years ago is now at a huge amount of production, producing 20 percent of the nation's electricity. Ironically, the industry is fading out. New orders ceased 20 years ago, and as aging plants reach the end of their lives, they are closing, one by one. All the non-renewable energy ...
- 23955: Adolph Hitlers' Rise to Power
- ... to recover when he came into power. Restoring the power back into his country was of great importance to him. After World War I, Germany had 7,142,558 casualties. The losses were immense. Hitler's Germany had a lot to recover from. Hitler had plans for all Germans to gather into one empire and be ruled by one leader… himself. Germany really didn't have enough farmland to feed the population or materials to supply the factories. New lands to the east would then have to be taken over. Hitler first wanted to destroy the power of France forever ... to us that Hitler aspired to make Germany strong and feared. He wanted to reunite the German people. Hitler succeeded in making his country strong once again, at least for a while. In conclusion, Hitler's rise to power was no coincidence because of all of the various tactics he used, however, I thought that those three reasons stand out the most. Hitler was very gifted in his ability to ...
- 23956: Roger And Me
- ... of documentary. Michael Moore took every aspect of making a film and flawlessly executed it. The resulting product was one that was to the point and interesting. The first thing that I realized was Moore’s ability to use B role and integrate it seamlessly into the film. One example would be when he was moving home from San Diego. The story cut to a scene in a movie that was ... what happened. He saved a few mins of film and got straight to the point. Various other film clips were used to tell the story. This brings me to the second point, which is Moore’s ability to hold the audiences attention. You have a film about the town of Flint, Michigan and the trouble it went through during the GM plant closings. Right now I can think of a few thousand ways a filmmaker could have taken this story, added his point of view, and bored me out of my mind. That couldn’t be any farther from the truth. I found myself drawn into the story that Michael presented. He used comedy to pick up some slower parts and good camera angles to keep my attention on ...

- ... lot of strength and ability. The whole entire sword formed to what looked like the shape of a cross. Sparkling jewels sometimes decorated the handle as well as the scabbard (case,) that protected the sword's 3-foot steel, rock, or metal blade. Most knights also carried a dagger, a morning star-a club with a chain attached to a ball with sharp spikes-a battle ax, and a large shield. At first knights wore cone-shaped helmets. Later, helmets had visors that covered the face completely so that they couldn’t get hit in the face when they were pulled off their horse. To be recognized, knights wore special symbols, such as lions and unicorns, on their armor and shields, they were called “coat of arms ... linen or wool, and long stockings. Sometimes the knights also wore chainmail underneath their suit, too. A knight in full armor weighed so much, he had to be lifted onto his horse. The knight's horse also wore armor for protection on top of his head and down his back. Horses used in battle were specially bred to be large and sturdy. It was hard to move wearing a ...

- 23960: The Death Penalty
- ... United States and give you facts to fully support my arguments. Fact # 1: Recent studies show that the crime rate in states with the death penalty is no lower than in the states that don't allow it. The United States is the only Western Democracy that enforces the death penalty, and yet we still have the highest homicide rate on the planet. Fact # 2: Studies prove that it is more ... man is forty times as likely to receive the death penalty rather than the white killing the black. These facts thoroughly state my notion on why the death penalty should be abolished in the U.S. Another reason for which The Death Penalty should not be allowed is because racial issues are a concern involving the decision that is made regarding the execution. The Rev. Norris Williams of Cain Memorial African ... an impossible feat in the judicial system. All of us carry a certain amount of prejudice, so who is the perfect one to make the judgement whether someone lives or dies?" Williams said, "I don't think any of us can stand and say this person deserves to die." The race of someone can be part of the decision that is made. Of the roughly 3,000 people on death ...
