Poems are often told as stories like in "The Flea" by John Donne which tells us of a man desperately trying to persuade the girl to sleep with him or in "Porphyria's Lover" we learn that the lover kills Porphyria to make sure the love they have is preserved forever. In "Let me not" William Shakespeare tells us the story from his point of view and what ... the flea. This is how the flea is related to the narrator and the mistress. Basically the first stanza is where the flea is spotted; the second is where the narrator argues that she mustn't kill the flea, and the third is where she kills the flea.

The ... forward the point that the flea is so small and he is only asking a little thing of her.

And in the third argument the narrator says the flea has had more pleasure that ...
- 5892: Heart of Darkness; by Joseph Conrad
- ... a sense of an embarked adventure not yet accomplished. Heart of Darkness presents this meaning fully from the main character to the purpose of an unrescued grail, (which was similiar to the legendary King Aruthur's search for the holy grail a search for knowledge and rescue from evil"). Under no circumstance was the novel's grail anything but a "rescue" of the "god-like" Kurtz, Kurtz's journal and the Townson's Inquiry (An Inquiry into Some Points of Seamanship). Charles Marlow, the main speaker in the novel, is also indirectly associated with a knight on a grail-less quest (or ...

- ... Joint Venture Law in 1979 was seen as a first step by the Chinese government to build a legal structure governing foreign investment.

- 5895: Why Are Gasoline Prices Going Up So High?
- Why Are Gasoline Prices Going Up So High? If everyone else in the world is paying a lot more for gas, why shouldn't Americans? Take your average spoiled American who blames the Arabs for raising the gas prices unfairly in order to make a bigger profit. It's true, gas prices have gone up by a lot in the last few months, but is that unfair? Prices still are a lot higher in Canada, Europe and just about any other developed nation, according ... hits a $1.35 to $1.75 a gallon, which if adjusted for inflation actually is cheaper than 25 years ago." It seems that Americans just think the world owes them a favor. Maybe it's time that they start playing fairly and stop feeling so sorry for themselves!!! According to many articles, Americans have a lot more to be thankful for than they do to complain about. For one, ...
- 5896: Much Ado About Nothing
- William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing is a play involving by deception, disloyalty, trickery, eavesdropping, and hearsay. The play contains numerous examples of schemes that are used to manipulate the thoughts of other characters; it is the ... that bring serenity to the chaos that encompasses most of the play. The first example of deception we see is with the characters of Beatrice and Benedick. These two characters provide the humor throughout Shakespeare's comedy; their repartees and soliloquies tend to leave the reader smiling and anxious for more dialogue between them. Beatrice and Benedick have had a relationship prior to their battles of wit to which she alludes ... 3, Claudio, Pedro, and Leonato, see Benedick in the garden and decide that that is the right moment for them to try and trick Benedick into falling for Beatrice.

Benedick, shows us his true feelings in his soliloquy: "This can be no trick… / I will be horribly in love with ...
- 5897: A Time of Prosperous Change
- ... her own. She is thought of as a independent, an individual who has a peace of mind of her own who is allowed to work and make a living as she pleases. Even we don't think of Weldon every time someone mentions a popular contemporary author we know she deserves to be mentioned. Both in the Critical Survey of Long Fiction and in Love and Marriage in the Novels of Anita Brookner and Fay Weldon Weldon is mentioned with great honor and respect. Anna Ericson uses more past situations in Fay Weldon's own life while contrasting her to Anita Brookner while in contrast the Critical Survey of Long Fiction criticizes the works without much comparison to others. Both the Magill and Anna Ericson have strong points on a women's individualism but Anna Ericson proves Weldon's choice of personality for the main character was one reflecting Weldon's own thoughts and morals. In the The Life and Loves of a She Devil Ruth ...
- 5898: Heart Of Darkness - Ignorance
- ... escape, suspense, unexpected attack. Chinua Achebe concluded, "Conrad, on the other hand, is undoubtedly one of the great stylists of modern fiction and a good story-teller into the bargain" (Achebe 252). Yet, despite Conrad's great story telling, he has also been viewed as a racist by some of his critics. Achebe, Singh, and Sarvan, although their criticisim differ, are a few to name. Normal readers usually are good at ... Darkness, but this time reading between the lines, I have discovered some racism Conrad felt toward the natives that I had not discovered the first time I read the book. Racism is portrayed in Conrad's book, but one must acknowledge that back in the eighteen hundreds society conformed to it. Conrad probably would have been criticized as being soft hearted rather than a racist back in his time. Conrad constantly ... Black figures strolled out listlessly... the beaten nigger groaned somewhere" (Conrad 28). "They passed me with six inches, without a glance, with the complete, deathlike indifference of unhappy savages" (Conrad 19). Achebe, also, detected Conrad's frequent use of unorthodox name calling, "Certainly Conrad had a problem with niggers. His in ordinate love of that word itself should be of interest to psychoanalysts" (Achebe 258). Conrad uses Marlow, the main ...
- 5899: Computers And The Military
- ... and merchandisers all over the world. As in all businesses money is the most important criteria for the big companies so they have no morale problems with making warfare into entertainment as long as it's selling. The same goes for the film industry, but at least some war films also describe the pain and hopelessness of war. So far I've never seen a computer game capable of expressing the ... now submarine- and flight simulators are the most realistic games available. Thankfully most action games are still quite far from the real world, as I would consider these to be the most influential on people's behavior. Though some games are getting quite realistic in simulating certain situations, none of them include any everyday (peacetime) military life in their simulations. Then computers are mostly office tools for normal big business tasks such as personnel management, filing and correspondence. But some of the world's sharpest brains are constantly trying to make new, more sophisticated and more deadly weapons. New technology often uses computers as a brain in "intelligent" weapons, which reduces the human interaction in a battle. Remote ...
- 5900: The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire of 1911
- ... really shocked me was when she said, “The corner of a shop would resemble a kindergarten because we were young, eight, nine, ten years old. It was a world of greed; the human being didn’t mean anything. The hours were from 7:30 in the morning to 6:30 at night when it wasn’t busy. When the season was on, we worked until 9 o’clock. No overtime pay, not even supper money. There was a bakery in the garment center that produced little apple pies the size of an ashtray and that was what we got for our overtime instead of money.” That paragraph just blew me away when I first read it. I can’t imagine little, innocent, eight, nine, ten year olds working long hours in a very big, tough, factory. I find it to be very sad to see business tycoons putting little children to work. Another ...
