- 5121: Book Review of "The Burning Man" by Phillip Margolin
- ... him, Peter could not let the opportunity pass. As Richard Hale lied helpless in a hospital bed, he demanded Peter ask for a mistrial, but it seemed only to go in one ear of Peter's and out the other. Peter's boldness would be costly though, as he would lose the case and lose his father. Richard did not die, but when he heard of his son's error he could not forgive him and couldn't bare to see him anymore. Only a fatherly instinct would force Richard to find a meager job for his helpless son in a small town ...
- 5122: Emerson's Self-Reliance
- Emerson's Self-Reliance "Who so should be a man is a non-conformist." Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote this great aphorism in his story Self-Reliance. In Self-Reliance, Emerson writes about relying on yourself to make ... not becoming too enveloped in society. Another aphorism that I like is, "The sky is less grand when it shuts down over less worth in the population." This aphorism is taken from Henry David Thoreau's Walden. In this piece, Thoreau writes about his experience of living in the woods. When Emerson wrote "who so should be a man is a non-conformist," he was saying that if a man tries to become like the things around him, he is less of a man. In many ways I agree with him. I don't think that you have to act a certain way to be accepted. Emerson's whole point in Self Reliance was basically that you don't have to be accepted to make it through life, ...
- 5123: Industrial Transformation: Economic Development between 1865-1900
- Industrial Transformation: Economic Development between 1865-1900 The economic transformation is often times viewed as a threat to America’s democracy due to many reasons. The main reason being, to me, that industrialist were becoming grossly wealthy, and they were making breakthrough’s in just about every field available to them in that time frame. There were some major name that are still refereed to today in this time period. There was J.P. Morgan, "The Banker", J ... associate with this era. The industrialist pre 1860, were viewed differently then the ones after 1860. They were different in many ways, but the same in many more. One major difference is that they didn’t become grossly wealthy like they did at the end of the century. The rail was just coming about, while the canals had been there for a while, but they did not produce profits to ...

This article involves the day of Mr. Park's conviction, the reaction of the girls' parents and also the reaction of Mr. Park's mother. The problem of dangerous driving as viewed from a theoretical standpoint can easily be identified with the social control theory. The control theory questions not what motivates individuals and society in general to ...
- 5125: Imagination And How It Relates
- ... Imagination drives him to create and to use his mind. Imagination is what drives the person to buy a certain product on the store shelf; imagining it to be better to the others of it's kind. Even animals must have at least a limited imagination. They play, they study things the way humans might, and they hunt with quick thought processes. Science is ruled by imagination. Not one scientist could ... no stress. Every day we imagine what we want in life. A seven-year-old child may only imagine a toy he wants to buy, or a television show he wants to watch. The child's mind only occasionally thinking towards the future seriously. An older child may think about what he wants to do when he gets older. What he "wants to be when he grows up." He imagines how ... onward in his life, still dreaming and imagining. Corporations use imagination to their advantage also. A bleach company puts out a commercial to influence the imaginations of the viewer. The viewer sees the bleach company's bleach turn a sock from a dirty brown color to a bright white. The opposite brand's sock is still a little brown. The viewer may not realize it, but it influences his/her ...
- 5126: Seeing Through Salvador Dalí's Kaleidoscopic Eyes
- Seeing Through Salvador Dalí's Kaleidoscopic Eyes Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí I Domènech was the son of Salvador Dalí Cusí and Felipa Domènech Ferrés. He was born on the lackadaisical day of May 11, 1904. Dalí later claimed to have ... been named after an older brother that had died at the age of twenty-two months, but in actuality he was dubbed after his father and grandfather. Felipe is the male equivalent of his mother's name while Jacinto came from his uncle. The family lived in a small, rural town called Figueres in Spain. It was sixteen miles south of the Spanish-French border, being fed by the Tech and Ter rivers. Dalí's photographic memory consumed this scenery for later use in many of his paintings. He was horrifically indifferent towards his education at the Christian Brothers' Immaculate Conception primary school which likely gave him ample time ...
- 5127: A Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man: Themes Developed Through Allusions to Classical Mythology
- A Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man: Themes Developed Through Allusions to Classical Mythology James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of complex themes developed through frequent allusions to classical mythology. The myth of Daedalus and Icarus serves as a structuring element in the ... not find his way out. Instead, Daedalus fashioned wings of wax and feathers so that he and his son could escape. When Icarus flew too high -- too near the sun -- in spite of his father's warnings, his wings melted, and he fell into the sea and drowned. His more cautious father flew to safety (World Book 3). By using this myth in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young ... the Artist. From the beginning, Stephen, like most young people, is caught in a maze, just as his namesake Daedalus was. The schools are a maze of corridors; Dublin is a maze of streets. Stephen's mind itself is a convoluted maze filled with dead ends and circular reasoning (Hackett 203): Met her today point blank in Grafton Street. The crowd brought us together. We both stopped. She asked me ...
- 5128: Billy Bud
- Herman Mellville's Billy Budd is and extremely divisive novel when one considers the dissension it has generated. The criticism has essentially focused around the argument of acceptance vs. resistance. On the one hand we can read the story as accepting the hanging of Billy Budd as the necessary ends of justice. We can read Vere's condemnation as a necessary military action performed in the name of preserving order aboard the Indomitable. On the other hand, we can argue that Billy's execution as the greatest example of injustice. The basic question at stake is: Is Vere's conduct right or wrong? In either case, since Billy Budd is an ethical text, why is there an ...
- 5129: Pro Choice Among Women
- ... sense of factors being greater than limited contraception. Abortion has been performed in many clinics as a treatment for unfit or unhealthy women, and for women who may have been molested or raped. Abortion shouldn’t be used as a form of contraception, nor should women’s lives be sacrificed to bear an infant before morally ready to commit. If a woman is raped, and the outcome incurs pregnancy, then abortion is an alternate form of controlling the unwanted pregnancy. Abortion should stand as only the woman’s choice, never as a decision adverse to Pro-Life activists. Pro-Choice advocates seem to vindicate abortion, accepting that abortion is not considered a form of birth control, but merely a method of controlling ...
- 5130: View From The Bridge 2
- A View from the Bridge After reading Arthur Miller's play "A view from the bridge," I am convinced that the most striking character is Marco. He is an Italian immigrant that moved illegally to the United States with his brother Rodolpho to work as ... time (the play was written in 1955) his country of origin, Italy, was going through a major economic depression because of the outcome of World War II. In the play, we are told that Marco's plan is to make enough money to survive and be able to send some of that money to his wife and his three kids back in Italy, who are starving. Marco physically resembles the Sicilian ... skin and dark hair. He is also very strong and he could easily "load the whole ship by himself."(pg.541) In this play, the author uses plot, dialog, actions and symbolism to emphasize Marco's honor which, in my opinion, is his prominent characteristic. Throughout the play, we can clearly see that the plot helps us develop Marco's character in our imagination. For example, he is an illegal ...
