- 3001: Hamlet and King Lear: Villians
- Hamlet and King Lear: Villians Shakespeare's Hamlet and King Lear the respective villains commit horrible acts of violence and manipulation. Although both Claudius and Edmund share many similar qualities their moral worth is not equal. Edmund exhibits a total lack of morality whereas Claudius exhibits faint signs of a moral standard. This faint difference shines through upon analysis of each character's language, actions, and thoughts. It must be noted that not each expression can be evaluated equally.

- 3002: Ordinary People
- ... and the difficulties that follow. I think that this book easily deserves a five star rating. My general reaction to this book was one of sorrow that we must cope with such affliction in today's society. I did, however, become somewhat enthralled in reading about a topic of a more serious nature compared to the trivial conflicts of everyday life. Ordinary People is somewhat like the novel The Body by Stephan King because both books illustrate the conflicts of having a death in the family, and of a child's great need for affection. My personal favorite aspects of this book are the characters, the theme, and Guest's style of writing. I enjoyed the complexity and intensity of each character, and each character's need for affection. I also enjoyed reading how each character would react differently with other characters. Another thing ...

- ... there acquired talent. They are fine tuned instruments, who work hard to do their jobs on the field, on the court, or on the course. They do this because they love the game. Golfers don t get paid as much as other Pro-sports, but do their job just as well. Athletes are paid way to much, but golfers are not. Now take into consideration how much professional baseball players make ... to drop out of the National Basketball League and start playing baseball. Then when he was tired of baseball, the Bulls begged and pleaded for him to come back to their team. That just doesn t seem right and fair to me, especially to other players in the NBA. He may be the greatest basketball player ever, but in my books he doesn t have a lot of character and integrity. Jordan made sixty three million last year and the closest man to him was Patrick Ewig; who made twenty million, (Partinie) which is a little better character ...

- 3006: The Sound Of A Memory
- ... carefully choosing each word and arranging them on a page, like an artist blending together colors on his canvas, a poet can make readers see, and feel, things that a normal author cannot. Mark Rudman's poem "Chrome," uses carefully chosen words that help to set the pace at which the poem is read aloud. In turn, this tempo helps to create an image, and animate it. Mark Rudman's use of poetic tools create a poem that is strong in imagery. This is because the poem's sounds directly reflect that of the actual events of which Rudman is speaking of. The opening of Rudman's "Chrome" is read aloud at a steady, medium pace. The author is reflecting upon youthful ...

- ... present a modified version of it, and to show that this new version is, in general, better than its predecessor. Let us look at his argument. First, we get the usual definition of generic reliabilism: S is justified in his belief that p at t if the belief is produced by some faculty that usually produces true beliefs. Then, we get a couple of Alvin Goldman's notions of justification with Sosa's revisions. A belief is strongly justified iff it is well formed, and by means of a truth conducive process.

Also, Boo was considerate enough to save Jem from a couple of whippings, because after all, if Atticus were to see the torn pants he would have known Jem was the culprit in the Radley s yard. You were so busy looking at the fire, you didn t notice Boo behind you (pg 76) This was also a symbol which Boo shared to let the kids slowly realize the truth about him, that he was an innocuous caring person hiding behind a ...
- 3010: Ozone Depletion
- Ozone Depletion In this world of rapid change, it's extremely difficult for a company to stay ahead of the game even using all the resources available to them. So, it's difficult to imagine the problems they would run into when a group of environmentalists decide to boycott a substance which is the foundation of their company. These chemicals, although very useful, cause consequences that need to be dealt with now in order to prevent further damage. The chemicals in question are numerous, but the two gaining the most attention are chloroflurocarbons (CFC's) and carbon tetrachloride.
