- 5321: Age Of Reform In America
- American reform movements in the early to mid 1800 s strived at improving our developing society. America was growing larger, and with the expanding population, many new ideas sprang up.

- 5322: Memory and Imagination: A Review
- ... she is very honest in her essay. The title itself tells you that it will be about memory, but it makes you wonder about how imagination relates to it. She mentions that Sister Olive Marie’s grandfather invented the collapsible opera hat, and later on says that it was not true. It’s not something every author often admits. She also states that we often lie about our memories but not intentionally; we lie because we feel we have to. In her opinion writing a first draft is like meeting someone for the first time. Which I think is true. In the beginning of the essay, she says that Sister Olive Marie’s grandfather invented the collapsible opera hat. Later on she says that it was not Olive but a girl who she named Mary Katherine Reilly. She was a girl whom she had played the piano ...

- 5324: Alex's Analysis of Any Abject Abuse
- Alex's Analysis of Any Abject Abuse The destruction of the grand style of the epic is just what Pope was after in his mock epic, "The Rape of the Lock." Pope had no such universal goal ... the life of the nobility of his time. While Milton chose blank verse to express the immensity of the landscape of his epic, Pope chose to utilize the heroic couplet to trivialize this grandeur. Pope's quick wit bounces the reader along his detailed description of his parlor-room epic. His content is purposefully trivial, his scope purposefully thin, his style purposefully light-hearted, and therefore his choice of form purposefully ... satirizes female vanity. He wrote the poem at the request of his friend, John Caryll, in an effort to make peace between real-life lovers. The incident of the lock of hair was factual; Pope's intention was to dilute with humor the ill feelings aroused by the affair. He was, in fact, putting a minor incident into perspective, and to this end, chose a mock-heroic form, composing the ...
- 5325: The Art of Reasoning
- ... inquiry to eradicate this doubt. Peirce thinks that there are four essential methods for fixing our beliefs, and they are: 1. Method of Tenacity If all we need is a settled opinion, then why don't we just pick an answer that we like and just stick with it? This way of fixating belief is impossible, as we would have to live like hermits. Living in a social setting, our beliefs ... terrified into silence. This method has been much more successful than the method of tenacity historically. For most people, this is the method that they use to fix their beliefs, so long as they don't mind being intellectual slaves. However, the state/church cannot regulate every opinion, and of course people from other countries/cultures/religions who hold contrary beliefs may influence public opinion. 3. A Priori Method Since the ... been the traditional place of philosophy to answer our most compelling questions. Some philosophers may feel slighted at this and construct attacks against those who would hold science as their one source of truth. Peirce's conception of the nature of scientific practice and of what differentiates it from other forms of human activity (a matter upon which he could speak expertly as a contributor to a number of scientific ...

- 5327: Animal Farm: Communism Through The Eyes of George Orwell
- ... surrounding his life. "The driving force behind his two satires is an intense revulsion against totalitarianism, combined with an even stronger revulsion against its defenders among left-wing intellectuals."1 In most of George Orwelląs books and essays, there is a strong autobiographical element due to the fact that he spent many years living with Communists in northern Great Britain (a small number of people started to follow Communism in northern Great Britain when it started in Russia). George Orwelląs writing was affected greatly by his personal beliefs about Socialism, Communism, Fascism, and Totalitarianism, and by the revolts, wars, and revolutions going on in Europe and Russia at the time of his writings.

In Animal Farm, Napoleon ...
- 5328: CHARLES BAXTER
- Charles Baxter All fictional characters have certain qualities within themselves that no one else has. This is not always true. Most of Baxter's characters are all different in one way but yet are all very similar. Almost all of Baxter's characters have a desperate need to find peace in themselves. In "Kiss Away", Jodie seems to be not able to trust Walton after her encounter with Gleinya which makes me believe that she had been hurt before in the past, although we are never told this in the story. The same thing is seen in "Stained Glass", where Donna doesn't believe she can stay with Bobby, but after se received his stained glass portrait, she forgave him and went back with him ignoring his violent temper. In "First Light" Dorsey loves her husband but ...
