- 27151: Epilepsy Oral
- ... that epilepsy is a brain malfunction. Still, the 19th century health care systems in Europe isolated people with epilepsy and forced them to live in colonies away from society.

While there are some recognized causes to epilepsy the vast majority of cases have no known cause.

- 27152: Love Song Of J Alfred Prufrock
- ... evening, "like a patient etherized upon a table." This is his way of pointing out the beauty in the sky, with its millions of stars and special things, it really is quite tremendous but it's something we're used to, hence we've learnt to take it for granted. We're "etherized" to its beauty; to us it is something banal and unimpressive. He goes on to mention the twisting ... There are so many options leading up to the overwhelming question: whether he will bare his soul to another person and risk being judged? Prufrock even goes so far as to compare himself to Shakespeare's Hamlet, renowned for his indecision, and also Polonious, too cautious and forever politic, always weighing things in his mind and never acting on impulse. Breaking from his reverie, Prufrock abruptly switches to his other world ... He describes the fog almost as if it were an animal; personifying it and giving even it some sense of feline beauty. I'm not sure, but I think the fog also might represent Prufrock's causes for indecision, he describes the fog almost as a predatory animal, and perhaps he fears that should he make a mistake in telling someone else about what he thinks, they might attack him ...

- Today s society is composed of a country built on the Constitution, which is governed by laws, justice in these laws and authority. Respect and honor are key in maintaining authority.

The wife is trying to forget about her husbands death: "and the dead be forgottne" (16). ...

- ... it by William Shakespeare, the playwright indirectly compares the Forest of Arden to the Forest of Eden by exploring the theme of illusions, the idea of the forest as a place of refuge and Arden s mystical powers.

- 27157: The Christianity Of Beowulf
- ... went from pre-Christian to Christian influenced. There are many ideas of how it was written and one of the most popular theories is that the poem was already in poetic form and the author's own beliefs were added. Another theory is that the poem was written by a Christian who heard the story and added some of his own beliefs when he wrote it. A third theory is that ... the character of Grendel. Grendel is a type of man-monster and represents all evil and darkness, just like the Christian devil. They often say Satan related things about him such as calling him "God's enemy", "Hell slave", and at one point even call him "the devil in Hell" (Klaeber, p104). It is also mentioned that Grendel descended from Cain, the first murderer that was banished by God, and where ... as the water and keep it dark. At night that lake burns like a torch. No one knows its bottom, no wisdom reaches such depths." (Beowulf, ll. 1358).

Then there is Beowulf, the victorious hero who beats ...

- 27159: Job Security
- ... to the decrease in new hiring. The general idea is that the only good jobs are those that are life long, and if not then all workers could be classified as temporary. An economy that s flexible- that produces higher efficiencies, new technologies and rising living standards- can t provide absolute security. It never has and, quite probably, never will (Samuelson). In my opinion I tend to agree with the previously mentioned statement of Mr. Samuelson. Job security is never a guarantee. As the ...
- 27160: The Characters Of A Jury Of He
- ... in which she really just wants to go home to a desire to help a friend in need so much that she commits obstruction of justice. The next major character is Mrs. Peters, the sheriff s wife. This woman also feels a deep loyalty to womanhood and that is why she does not tell her husband about Mrs. Hale s crime. This quiet and relatively new comer to the county has really no ties to anyone except her husband. That makes the entire situation more complex for her. She has loyalty to her husband and is considered, married to the law, at several times. The fact that she breaks that loyalty to save an acquaintance s distant friend that she only knows what she sees in her house about allows you to see the depths of the bonds of the sisterhood of women in need. This makes her probably the ...
