- 4202: The Natural Film Vs Novel
- ... the plot, the characters, and the theme give both a very different mood and overall meaning. Many small differences add up to give each work a distinctive feel to it and an important moral. Roy's relationship with Iris, the incident when Roy gets poisoned, and the ending all effectively display the differences that have such an important bearing on the outcome and effect of the theme. Iris is a key ... complete opposite of Iris in the movie. In the book Iris is described as corpulent, with a head full of red hair, yet in the movie she is a skinny, relatively attractive, blond.

- ... 9. Works cited Introduction Dancing is a natural impulse-- an instinctual mode of self expression and communication.

- 4207: Morality
- ... life is based on interpersonal relationships. Whether it be social or business, communicating with people is the only way to get things done. There is no way that you can go through life in today's society without getting along with people. If people think that you are immoral, than they will not respect you, or be willing to work with you. Again, it may seem like it is not fair because you know that no one is one hundred percent moral, and if someone doesn't respect you because you are immoral, than they are hypocritical.

- 4208: Lack Of Knowledge Thesis Examination
- ... has a lot of truth to it. What if the knowledge is incomplete? Is it still powerful or just a burden? Frankenstein and his creature are a prime example of the burden brought on one’s life through incomplete knowledge. Frankenstein has a great grasp of knowledge of the physical world but lacks that grasp of knowledge of the emotional world. He creates a creature with the mind of a human but with a body that is severely disformed. I will discuss how the creature can be viewed as a symbol of Frankenstein’s lack of knowledge and how that can be a burden on life, through an examination of their experiences, formal and informal. In some ways, the creature’s gain in knowledge can be seen to resemble Frankenstein’s gain in knowledge, as in when the creature starts learning from books. In other ways, their experiences are very much different. As the novel ...

Hamlet s state of mind in his first soliloquy is deeply nihilistic; Shakespeare presents the world as an unneeded garden , rank in nature . In the first soliloquy and the third, Hamlet is particularly nihilistic. In the first ... He is briefly happy when things take his mind off his problems - e.g. when the players arrive - but even this, on reflection, leads to more soul searching in a soliloquy). Other aspects of Hamlet s character for the most part get swallowed up by this consuming depression, but certainly he is oppressed by the hypocrisy of his uncle.
