- 7501: Hamlet: Act V-Scene 2 - The Climax
- ... of self-approach or doubts that he will act positively against Claudius. What is impressive is his decisiveness. He is able to formulate a plan and to execute it without delay. He has found man's wisdom, or reason, to have its limitation: fortune, accident, chance - call it that what it will and can determine the course of events, as his own experience aboard the ship proves. He was able to find in the dark the commission for his own death; by chance, he had in his possession his father's signet for sealing the forged document. No less by chance, the pirates proved kind and, for sufficient compensation, they returned him to Denmark. Throughout the play, after we have itemized Claudius' major crimes, the Prince does not receive an answer to his question, one which is basic to his status as a moral symbol in the play: - is't not perfect conscience, To quit him with this arm? And is't not to be damn'd, To let this canker of out nature come In further evil? It has been seen here a ...
- 7502: Modern European History
- ... did they know, as a result of the war, total war broke out and crushed all the hopes and accomplishments that the people had established. This shocking reality was unbearable and uncomprehending to the people's hopes and dreams. And as this lasted over the years, the age of anxiety was created. People didn't know or what to expect anymore. They did not know what was going to happen after the war. They're so devastated by the war that many who were still alive lost faith and all ... you think many veterans felt that they were part of a lost generation? Veterans during the war were just realizing what the war is all about. They saw what the war had done to people's lives and body parts. They sometimes couldn't even believe that such shattered bodies were once human beings lived happily among them. Most of them grew up in the war knowing nothing of life ...
- 7503: The American Pursuit of Happiness
- ... form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” The Rights of the American public are exactly what Thomas Jefferson had in mind in 1776 when he replaced John Locke’s definition of rights in the Declaration of Independence from “Life, Liberty and Property”, to “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. The good of the public took place over private material gains according to Mr ... proverb which states “be careful what you wish for, you may just get it”. In a society filled with overindulgent tendencies, often when people get what they wish for, it is exactly what they didn’t need. The pursuit of the unnecessary, though perceived as a pursuit of happiness, often becomes only a mere case of immediate gratification leaving the pursuer yearning for more. This yearning becomes an unsatisfying, and quite possibly a dangerous cycle. This cycle of materialism, which can be defined as comparing one’s self worth with the possessions that they own, leads to a path of affectation. Affectation, needing to win the approval of others, should not be bought, nor should it ever take the place of ...
- 7504: Tobacco
- ... I am not. So we will look at the issue in regards to the industry from both consumer and producer points of perspective with fairness and equality in reach. With an open mind now, let’s peer closer at the aftermath tobacco has left us standing in. Something has to get a non-tobacco user to try his/her first cigarette, cigar, chew, or whatever it may be. What is that ... in the right direction by reducing the ways that the industry can advertise tobacco. They have limited it to written ads mostly like magazines, billboards, sponsorship (meaning that Marlboro could sponsor a racecar driver), and T-shirts. They aren’t able to advertise on television or radio in any way. This helps to steer youth away from tobacco. But is this grafting the industry’s amendment of free speech? Not when the industry is ...
- 7505: Othello: Almost Perfect
- ... happen to us. In the drama, the protagonist, Othello starts out as a noble general but ends up facing the consequences brought upon by his over trusting nature and his everlasting jealousy. One of Othello’s tragic flaws, which contribute to his downfall, is his open and trusting nature. For this play to be classified as a tragedy, the hero must face opposition from an outside force, in this case it ... friend or foe makes Othello an attractive figure and a generous friend. However, it also leaves him vulnerable and useless to certain people who are able to manipulate this flaw, like Iago. After witnessing Iago’s exploitation on Roderigo, we see that Iago is the evil villain; meanwhile, he is innocent, noble, and overall a trustworthy individual to the eyes of Othello. This is what makes Othello easily susceptible to Iago’s schemes and that he judges people by their exterior behavior but really does not know anything about their interior motives. Iago takes no time in manipulating his flaw and transforms this one time soldier ...
- 7506: The Alchemist
- "That's the principle that governs all things. In alchemy, it's called the Soul of the World. When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force" (80). Anything I've ever wanted to happen bad enough, there has always been a way for me ...
- 7507: Chernobyl

I have chosen this topic because nuclear power is not only an environmental issue but also a severe health issue for the citizens ... children. In contrast, Yuri E. Dubrova of the University of Leicester in England and his colleagues claim that they have found evidence that germline mutation rates in humans can be increased by ionizing radiation. Dubrova's team compared specific gene segments taken from the blood of people in 79 families that lived in a exposed area surrounding Chernobyl. Also they studied 105 members from unexposed families in the United Kingdom. All ... DNA. No one knows the genetic purpose, if any, of minisatellites, but their variation from person to person enables scientists to use them as the basis of so-called genetic fingerprinting”.(Dubrova )Because a child's DNA represents a combination of germline DNA from both parents, any sequence in the child that does not have either parents DNA in it, must result from a germline mutation. Dubrova's team therefore ...
- 7508: Watching Payton Was Pure Sweetness
- Watching Payton Was Pure Sweetness We all carry snapshots of our loved ones in the wallet of our mind's eye. Grandparents, long lost, are bright-eyed and strong.Parents are wise and caring, children smiling and maybe slightly mischievous. We do not see -- we do not allow ourselves to dwell on -- their frailties and ... 80s and Payton is in a place as comfortable to him as the womb. He is floating six inches above the frozen turf at Soldier Field, hovering really, splay-legged and open to suggestion. Payton's eyes are wide, deer-caught-in-the-headlights wide. But this wild creature, crackling with that quirky, impulsive energy, is very much in control of the moment. The safety, whose job it is to decide ... your feet limits your options. With Payton, the reverse was true. When he was airborne, Payton was supremely confident and seemingly invulnerable. Frank Caito, the Bears' former trainer, used to say the secret of Payton's success was his "big butt." He meant it, too. Payton's formidable gluteus maximus muscles were the source of his power. Caito was convinced it not only protected him from abusive hits, but also ...
- 7509: Catcher in the Rye: Childhood Innocence - What Holden Never Had
- ... old Phoebe was going around and around [the carousel]." All these examples clearly show that Holden appreciated "childhood innocence" to a great extent. Yet Holden acts the opposite. The irony in this novel is Holden's behavior, which is far from being innocent. He smokes, drinks, always depressed, thinks about suicide, thinks about going embarking to a far place, and has people tell and act in many weird ways. There are ... acts this way. Firstly, Holden being only sixteen years of age already has so much responsibility. He has to get money for food and travel. When he travels he has to make sure he doesn't get lost, and actually gets there. He has to make sure that he doesn't flunk school. For a sixteen year old boy this is a challenge all by itself, but there are still more reasons that his life is so difficult. Secondly, he never had anyone actually sit ...
- 7510: Exiles
- Exiles Response In the essay "Exiles," Carolyn Steedman uses different voices throughout the story. Steedman uses her mom, dad, and grandma's voice to speak her essay to the reader. She does this by either using someone else's memories of the instant by referring to what their mom did, told by the father or grandmother. She also uses memories or voices that her mom or dad said. An example of this would be the telling of Steedman mom's story, which was told by her father at the time "in bits and pieces throughout the fifties"(647). Her father says about Steedman's mother, "Your mother drank gin once," contradicting what Steedman heard ...
