Heroic but hardly admirable”, how accurate is this assessment of Meursault in “The Outsider” When Meursault is described to us in the early stages of the novel we see that he does not obey society's codes therefore is it fair for us to assess him using societies interpretation of “heroic”? If we are to judge him by them then we are given ample examples throughout the novel of his having ... remains impartial whilst his girlfriend, Marie, thought it was “ terrible” and is sickened by the beating. Another display of his apathetic views is in the opening lines "Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know" This indicates that either he does not care or he had no comprehension of what had happened. An additional illustration of his detached attitude is after his mothers funeral when he goes to see ... section of the novel that reinforces this occurs that after the murder when he is in jail; he never mentions the Arab at all; it is as if he does not care about the Arab's life; just about what he is going to do for the rest of the day.

- ... you die and your earthly self begins turning into your disintegrated self, you radiate an intense current of energy. (p. 1) Certainly the author wishes to offer an approach to necrophilia that defies the reader s expectations.

- 2823: Walt Whitmen
- John Bell Mrs. Taylor English 2 May 30, 2000 All Alone Walter Whitman was an American poet of the 1800’s. Walt was arguably one of America’s influential and innovative poets of his time.

- ... start and concentrated her education on this aspect of Person. Thus, the language/thinking of psychology and sociology became second nature to her. The need for intense study of the language and ideas behind Roy's Adaptation Model is its biggest drawback in applying it to many clinical areas. The confusion in the physiological mode's categories could be explained by her concentrating on the psych social during her education. In 1980, Roy and Reihl advocated a single unified model of nursing and suggested this would insure stability of the discipline ... process. According to Fawcett, this position is a simplistic solution to a difficult problem. Nursing, with its limited experience with metaparadigms and conceptual models, is not ready for restrictions on its ways of thinking. It's my belief that this act of advocating a single unified model was an act of multi-oppressed thinking influenced by men, the Roman Catholic Church and the medical world. During a 1987 conference of ...
- 2825: Eisenhower 2
- ... political office or political connection of any kind," said General Dwight David Eisenhower to a stream of prominent visitors to Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers, Europe, near Paris during the last half of 1951. Despite Eisenhower's often-repeated declaration against holding political office, American business leaders and politicians continued to urge him to run for the White House. They told him that the "stalemated" Korean War, and scandals in Washington divided the nation and took away from it's prestige. Eisenhower admirers work laboriously to persuade the general that he was what the American people wanted and needed for the country; however Eisenhower loathed the partisanship of the political arena and lacked any burning desire to hold public office.

Eisenhower wrote in his diary on January, 21 1953. "Plenty of worries and difficult problems. But today [just seems] like a continuation of all I've been doing since July of ...

- ... them are a little different. But everyone with diabetes has one thing in common: Little or no ability to move sugar--or glucose--out of their blood into their cells, where it is the body's primary fuel. Everyone has glucose in their blood, whether or not they have diabetes. This glucose comes from food. When we eat, the digestive process breaks down carbohydrates into glucose, which is absorbed into the blood in the small intestine. People who don't have diabetes rely on insulin, a hormone made in the pancreas, to move glucose from the blood into the body's billions of cells. But people who have diabetes either don't produce insulin or can't efficiently use the insulin they produce. Without insulin, they can't move glucose into the cells. Glucose accumulates ...
