- 3341: Lewis Carroll
- Of all of Lewis Carroll’s works, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has a unique standing in the category of whimsical, nonsense literature. Much has been written about how this novel contrasts with the vast amount of strict, extremely moralistic children’s literature of the Victorian time Lewis Carroll lived in. Yet, as odd as this novel appears in relation to the other Victorian children’s stories, this short novel is odder because it was written ...
- 3342: Seal
- Seal For this assignment, I chose to look at the biography of a recording artist who's music I enjoy. Seal is a British singer-songwriter. He has won numerous British as well as Grammy awards for songs for his two self-titled albums which were released in 1991 and 1994. His songs are an eclectic mix of soul, rhythm-and-blues, folk rock, and dance music united by an overall message in the optimism of tragedy. Seal's spiritual and redemptive attitude toward pain and suffering stems from his own "rags to record deal"story, his face scarred by lupus that he contracted at age 23, only hints at the ordeals he has ... music. He has even stated that he "feels fortunate to have gone through an abusive childhood." The Neo-Freudian whose theory I feel related most closely to the little information that was given in Seal's biography would have to be Karen Horney. Due to the fact that she focused on the social relationship between a parent and a child, and believed that early relationships in life, particularly ones between ...
- 3343: Participants In The Wars Of Th
- In the late 1400’s the House of York fought the House of Lancaster for the English crown. Because Lancaster’s heraldic badge was a red rose and the Yorks was a white rose, the long conflict became known as Wars of the Roses. The real lives of the main participants of the Wars of the Roses will be displayed in this paper. In Shakespeare’s Richard III the participants in the Wars of the Roses were not suitably displayed. The participants in Shakespeare’s Richard III were Henry Tudor, Clarence, Edward V, Richard III; Queen Margaret will have their ...
- 3344: William Penn
- ... With his efforts, and the help of others, the Quakers left a huge impact on Pennsylvania and the entire nation. The Quakers are a religion that originated in England in protest of the Anglican Church's practices. The man in charge of this religious revolution was George Fox.1 He believed that God didn't live in churches as much as he lived in people's hearts.2 In that state of mind, he went out into the world in search of his true religion. He argued with priests, slept in fields, and spent days and nights trying to find ...
- 3345: Roswell
- ... many other worldwide governments have proof of UFO existence but are afraid to release this information to the general public. It is up to the general public to examine the evidence and decide whether UFO’s exist. If the government is going to continue a policy of denial then the citizens must begin a policy of belief. Whether policy makers are afraid of UFO’s effect on national security or the potential mass hysteria that could follow such a release of information, the people must not sit back and let evidence of extraterrestrial contact slip through the cracks. A UFO ... the side of a mountain on the night of July 4, 1947. The alien craft had malfunctioned that may have been caused due to the thunderstorm. As the craft touched the ground on Mac Brazel’s farm, it again became airborne and was able to remain in the air until crashing to its final resting-place. This is where the craft was recovered shortly after the news was released that ...
- 3346: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Huck Finn as the Narrator
- ... year-old son of the town drunkard. He had to see life as Huck did and had to create a character that could see life as Mark Twain saw it. Huck is more than Twain's mouthpiece because he is a living character and is capable of shaping the story. The language that Huck uses shows what he sees and how he will pass it on to us. Something else that is apparent is that the humor of the book often depends on Huck's language. In chapter fourteen, Huck is telling Jim about royalty in general which is an example of humor through language and incomplete education although sometimes he is not that far from the truth. "They [royalty] don't do nothing! Why, how you talk! They just set around." "No; is dat so?" "Of course it is. They just set around, except, maybe, when there's a war; then they go to war. ...
- 3347: A Developmental Study of Alex in Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange
- A Developmental Study of Alex in Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange Synopsis of A Clockwork Orange In A Clockwork Orange, the main character is that of a mildly young child of 15 who, along with his fellow friends, or "Droogs", partake in evenings ... of helplessness, fear, and near-death paralysis, similar to that of drowning. Alex soon associates this feeling of distraught with the violence, and with the background music being played throughout the entire ordeal: Beethoven, Alex's main love. The final result is that whenever Alex is confronted with either violent acts of any kind, or the sweet strings of Ludwig Van, he is soon on his knees in pain and agony ... him. To his dismay, the author did recognize him after hearing Alex sing a song in a very similar fashion to the way his attackers did 2 years ago. After slipping a sedative into Alex's wine, Alex wakes up to find himself in a locked room on the second floor of an apartment high-rise. Through the floorboards, Alex starts to hear the hateful sounds of Beethoven, and goes ...
- 3348: Book Of Job
- ... reasonable, but a closer look at them reveals that they convey a certain meaning. These questions imply that human suffering is inconsistent with the love of God. As a God of love He either doesn't have the power to prevent suffering, or He has the power he just doesn't have the will. He might prefer us to live our own lives without intruding on us. Maybe we are to assume that the prevention of suffering should not be expected from a God of love ... and he suffered great pain, so people just assume that bad things happen to good people. Job never gave up his love and trust in God, but he was a little uncertain and questioned God's decision at times. Job brought on a great deal of his suffering himself. He wanted pity, and he did not just accept the fact that you don't have to be an evil person ...
- 3349: Money
- ... in society as a whole. We believe in the economy as a whole - a black hole! Why should you be able to think things, and even learn things, without paying somebody for that privilege? Let's get to brass tacks, the bottom line. Money. Money is reality. You see this printed dollar bill. It' s far more real than topsoil, oxygen, the ozone layer or sunlight. You may say that this is just a piece of paper with some symbols on it, but that's sacrilege! This is the almighty dollar. Most of the dollars we worship are actually stored in cyberspace. Dollars are just digital ones and zeros in a network of computers, but that doesn't mean ...
- 3350: How Do The Attitudes To Love E
- ... they show remarkably different approaches. Two are written from the narrator to his lover to persuade her into commitment into a sexual or loving relationship. The third gives a neutral definition of true love. Marvell s is concerned with seizing the moment and living life to the full, and satisfying his need for sexual intercourse in his relationship. The narrator is more concerned about lust than love. Donne s point of view comes after sex and he discusses the love between him and his lover and puts lust in his past. Shakespeare s Sonnet 116 is slightly different as it provides the reader with a definition of ideal and true love which gives the effect of a conclusion to Donne s and Marvell s poems. In To ...
