- 2801: The Tragedy Of Hamlet
- ... on his sword, and like them Hamlet dies by getting cut with a poison tipped sword. But that is not all that is needed to consider a play a tragedy, and sometimes a hero doesn't even need to die. Making Not every play in which a Hero dies is considered a tragedy. There are more elements needed to label a play one. Probably the most important element is an amount of free will. In every tragedy, the characters must displays some. If every action is controlled by a hero's destiny, then the hero's death can't be avoided, and in a tragedy the sad part is that it could. Hamlet's death could have been avoided many times.

I never asked him but I would ... deal to him. When my dad pulled up with him I thought Gandhi had risen from the dead. In broken English he said, “Hello, my name is Hank, nice to meet you.” I almost didn't respond because I was laughing at a man named Hank from India had just come into my house, but I got out a , “very good, how are you?” He didn't look like, act like, or even dress like an American, but with a name like Hank it was the only thing that would make sense to me.

- Why I Hate the Mall I hate shopping malls. No, you don't understand. I really hate shopping malls. I think sitting at the Food Court near the Burger King for one hour has served only to heighten my displeasure with these gaudy monstrosities. The only reason I ... cabs. I never understood why it is that each and every one of them have air freshners which are so putrid smelling, they make one long for the odor of a New York City cabbie's "natural cologne". After enduring ten minutes of the cabbie's "lemme tell ya what's wrong with this country", I finally get to my destination. As soon as I got there, I began to think about how sad it is that the mall has ...
- 2804: Juvenile Justice
- ... American public want something done, and they want it done now. Right now we are beginning to relize that if the situation looks bleak now, it could deteriorate even more in the future.

- ... a record of his experiments with drugs. 'Brave New World' was first published in 1932, and has been reprinted many times after that. Main Characters: Bernard Marx Lenina Crowne John Savage (Son of Tomakin, Bernard's boss) Helmholtz Watson Huxley tries to make a statement with this book, he tries to make something clear to the reader. To do this he uses characters, but they're insignificant to what his real ... individual in a western civilization in a 'near' future. The society has turned into a well oiled machine, in which everything is controlled, even the future profession of the individual is determined before birth. It's a society in which the human being only serves a sociological and scientifical purpose, the individual thought is overruled by one big totalitarian state, likewise emotion and initiative are ruled out. Giving birth is forbidden, sex is the most normal thing on earth, and even drugs is taken with the routine and amount of normal meals. Only a small group of the real man exists, be it's far outside the 'civilized' world. John Savage is one of them, representitive of individual freedom and thought, torn between two societies. Huxley warns for material and technical dependence, that will eventually bring destruction upon ...
- 2806: Contender
- ... course of THE CONTENDER, by Robert Lipsyte, Alfred is influenced by several characters who help him grow, change and learn. Two of the most important were Mr. Donatelli, the owner of the gym, and Alfred's Aunt Pearl. Mr. Donatelli had a positive influence on Alfred, helping him in a variety of ways. When Alfred first came to the gym Mr. Donatelli questioned him to make sure Alfred had what it took to be a boxer. He noticed from Alfred's scars that he'd been fighting on the streets. He' explained all the ups and downs of boxing to make sure that it was what Alfred really wanted to do. "' You're all alone in there with another man who wants to hit you harder than you hit him. There's rules and a referee to make sure you follow those rules. It's not the street… you have to earn your way in there, you have to work hard for it. Most kids leave.'" ...
- 2807: The Harness Conspiracy
- ... were sold. This conspiracy may not seem obvious at first glance, but under closer observation, one can see all the inconsistencies and clues that lead to this conclusion. First, there are many inconsistencies concerning Emma's incessant illness. When we first see Emma described, we are told that her eyes were "feverish with a determination to live" (39). This image does not suggest that she would give up life as easily ... nurse when she fell ill and did not let anyone do anything for her except Peter. This was to hide the fact that she was not really ill at all. Another inconsistency was the doctor's unusual diagnosis of Emma's health. It was noted that, ". . . to Dr. Marn anyone who wasn't actually a corpse, was well on the road to recovery" (42). Since he gives here such a "deadly" diagnosis we may reason ...
- 2808: The Policies of My Way
- ... colleagues to see how best he could placate them, or calm them, or Heap his beatitudes upon them. Trudeau, from day one , was always more samurai than shaman. Even in his pre-leadership days, Trudeau's love of trial by combat was predominant. Mackenzie King would have never touched the unholy trinity of divorce, abortion and homosexuality: each one of these issues is a sleeping dog best left to lie; each ... coast to coast. Since King dared not touch them seriatim he certainly would not have touched them together-in an omnibus bill. This, Trudeau did joyously. The myths-makers have it at this was Trudeau's first deliberated joust, the kingship being the final prize. But Trudeau had no leadership aspirations at the time; all that he had, still has, was the love of combat for the sake of combat and religious scruples be damned. Trudeau the Catholic zealot tackle divorce, abortion and homosexuality active Prime Minister in this country's history, liberated the homosexual practitioners of black acts totally abhorrent to him; ironically, in the process, Trudeau gave irrational Canada a pretext for branding him a homosexual too. P.E.T. has always hated ...
- 2809: Ignorance and Racism in Heart Of Darkness
- ... escape, suspense, an unexpected attack. Chinua Achebe concluded, "Conrad, on the other hand, is undoubtedly one of the great stylists of modern fiction and a good storyteller into the bargain" (Achebe 252). Yet, despite Conrad's great story telling ability, he has also been viewed as an ignorant racist by some of his critics. Achebe, Singh, and Sarvan, are three of his critics who have different opinions about Conrad being a racist. Readers usually are good at detecting racism in a book or story. Achebe tells us about Conrad's ability to hide racist remarks, "But Conrad chose his subject well - one which was guaranteed not to put him in conflict with psychological predisposition..." (Achebe, 253). By reading Heart of Darkness for the second time I started to understand the hidden racism in the book. I also discovered the racist remarks towards the natives. Racism is portrayed in Conrad's book, but a reader must know that back in the eighteen hundreds society didn't understand racism towards "Blacks". Conrad's critics would have never called Conrad a racist, during his time, but rather ...
- 2810: Creationism
- ... began to circulate” (Marlantes 1). Gradual change is what evolution is about, no sudden event could occur. Some may wonder, “if the Creator uses physics and chemistry to run the universe of life, why wouldn’t He have used physics and chemistry to produce it, too” (Marlantes 2). Though evolution is one of gradual change, it is sporadic in those changes, whereas creationism is based on a design rather than chance ... confirmation of a higher being. One cannot undermine a higher being if in fact there is one, but evolutionists would just like some evidence as to the human existence on this planet. During the 1650’s, an archbishop of Ireland, James Ussher was the one whom the modern creationists derived their ideals from (Creationism 1123). Creationists believe that because the evolutionists have no spiritual background, that they must look at God through their intellect. Those that oppose evolution aren’t misinformed; it’s just that they don’t like the implications (Marlantes 2). The world is run by energy, and the Laws of Thermodynamics apply only to energy. The second Law of Thermodynamics states ...
