- 3421: Franz Kafka
- ... accompanied by great wisdom, which was shown in the writing of Metamorphosis. Kafka was a political genius who showed all his political beliefs through his one great work, Metamorphosis. All of the experiences in Kafka’s life are portrayed through Gregor, a person who wished he was dead at the end of Kafka’s words. Distant from the poor, meager, and mostly un-vivacious reality of life and it’s hardships stands one man, Gregor, a provider of financial resources for his family. Such a young man is making his way in society, and the world in general. Through Gregor’s successes, and his ...
- 3422: As I Lay Dying: Character's Words And Insight To Underlying Meanings
- As I Lay Dying: Character's Words And Insight To Underlying Meanings Fulfilling a promise they had made to their mother, Addie, Cash, Darl, Jewel, Dewey Dell, and Vardaman, in William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying, journey across the Mississippi countryside to bring her body to be buried in Jefferson, alongside her immediate family. Each one, in turn, narrates the events of this excursion as they are ... one expresses what they see and how they feel by exercising their individual powers and limitations of language. What each character says as well as how he/she says it gives insight into that character's underlying meanings. Darl, for example, uses his linguistic skills to gain power as narrator. He possesses the ability to pick up on things unsaid and to read other people's actions. Dewey Dell describes ...
- 3423: Beloved. Who Or What Is Belove
- Beloved. Who or what is Beloved? Many people think that Beloved is the Devil or a savior. Others just take her at face value as Sethe's dead child come back to haunt her. I believe that all of these ideas come close to her identity, but they are still not completely right. This is not a story about good or evil, but rather a story about facing your own past. Beloved (the character) is simply a physical manifestation of Sethe's guilty conscience. Sethe's desire to save her children from slavery was stronger than her humanity, and as a result she brutally murdered her baby, and buried it under the headstone "Beloved." Sethe chose to have this engraved ...

- 3425: M&M's Are Better Than Smarties
- M&M's Are Better Than Smarties "Woo, they taste great! They're superior to ordinary, tasteless Smarties. What are they?" This is the common reply to all who are given the delicious chocolate M & M's. M & M's are by far the finest chocolate that has been made, coated within a little shell, then coloured and finally imprinted with the letters 'MM'. No other chocolate can ever compare with the great tasting ...
- 3426: Diseases: Sex Linked and Sex Influenced
- ... so they need to use that X, whether it is flawed or not. Females on the other hand, have two X chromosomes, so if one is defective, they can use their second X chromosome. Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy(DMD) is defined as "a genetic disease characterized by defective muscle cells that can not produce a protein called dystrophins (Science News 380). In patients of hemophilia, there is a deficiency of a ... of joints. Sex linked diseases are born when sex genes, that compose two of the 46 chromosomes, are mutated by an error in copying genes in reproduction. One of these sex linked diseases is Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy. DMD is a disease that has rightfully been gaining some headlines recently, as the disease is taking the lives of young children. Several cures have been brought up recently in the medical society ... body of the patient. Generally, victims are in their early twenties when they die from either heart failure or diaphragm failure.(The diaphragm is the muscle that makes breathing possible.) One mother of a Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy patient says succinctly, "Eventually these kids get bedridden and then they die."(Grady 87) It is imperative to find a cure for Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy so we can save the lives ...
- 3427: Capitalism Theory
- ... in The Name of the Rose emerges again in The Name of the Rose. An abundance of sublimations concerning the cultural paradigm of consensus may be discovered. "Class is intrinsically elitist," says Baudrillard. In Foucault's Pendulum, Eco affirms the subconstructivist paradigm of narrative; in The Name of the Rose, Eco denies capitalist dialectic theory. It could be said that many discourses concerning material nationalism exist. In a sense, the subconstructivist paradigm of narrative implies that culture is used to disempower the proletariat, but only if art is equal to language; if that is not the case, Habermas's model of the cultural paradigm of consensus is one of "subtextual destructuralism", and hence fundamentally a legal fiction. Tilton[1] implies that we have to choose between postcapitalist socialism and capitalist dialectic theory. The subject ... that we have to choose between the subconstructivist paradigm of narrative and the preconceptual paradigm of expression. However, the subject is interpolated into a subconstructivist paradigm of narrative that includes truth as a reality. Lyotard's analysis of neomodernist capitalist theory holds that language is capable of truth. It could be said that the characteristic theme of the works of Tarantino is a capitalist totality. An abundance of discourses concerning ...
- 3428: The Battle of Antietam
- The Battle of Antietam The Battle of Antietam ( or Sharpsburg) on September 17, 1862, climaxed the first of Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s two attempts to carry the war into the north. About 40,000 southerners were against the 87,000- man Federal Army of the Potomac under General George McClellan. When the fighting had ended, the course ... had marched his Army of Northern Virginia into Maryland, hoping to find vitally needed men and supplies. McClellan followed, first to Frederick ( where through rare good fortune a copy of the Confederate battle plan, Lee’s Special Order No.191, fell into his hands), then westward twelve miles to the passes of South Mountain. There on September 14, at Turner’s, Fox’s, and Crampton’s gaps, Lee tried to block the Federals. But because he had split his army to send troops under General Thomas J.“Stonewall” Jackson to capture Harpers Ferry, Lee could ...
- 3429: Dickinson vs. Whitman
- ... after receiving schooling to be with her family and never really had a job. Walt Whitman spent most of his time observing people and New York City. Dickinson rarely left her house and she didn't associate with many people other than her family. In this essay I will be comparing Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. Emily Dickinson's life differs greatly from the life of Walt Whitman, although they lived during the same time period. Walt Whitman published practically all his poetry during his lifetime, but Emily Dickinson only published seven of her poems during her lifetime. Actually, her poetry wasn't published until after her death. Both Whitman and Dickinson were poetic pioneers because of the new ideas they used in their poetry. Emily Dickinson did not write for an audience, but Walt Whitman wrote ...
- 3430: The Great Gatsby 5
- ... By examining these characters, one can see that each one is flawed almost fatally, and this causes mayhem, jealousy, infidelity, and ultimately death. Gatsby is the rich, majestic, protagonist of the novel. While it isn't clear how he made all his money it is obvious that it was through illegal dealings in organized crime. There was a reference to the 1919 World Series, (That's the one where the players on the Chicago White Sox helped out organized crime by not trying their hardest when it counted). It is also clear that the driving motivation for getting all this cash is so that it will appeal to Daisy. Daisy was the rich girl that he fell in love with before he joined the service. Unfortunately he just didn't have enough money to keep her while he was overseas. When Gatsby got back she was married to someone else but that didn't dissuade him in the least. Gatsby's whole efforts in ...
