- 9081: Bolshevik Power In Russia
- ... Bolshevik party also felt that the proletarian class had a right to bare and keep arms, and that a classless society should be established thus putting an end to the noble class ( ). Serge and Sedova's last topic of the Bolshevik platform states that this platform had a tremendous impact on the proletarian class. This topic called for the reduction of the working day to eight hours and to initiate a ... Hollander writes that Lenin was a tremendous leader. Lenin had two strong characteristics that gave him this exquisite leadership ability. First was his mighty iron will that battered and overwhelmed his opponents. Second was Lenin's steadfast belief that Russia was in dire need of a revolution. Hollander also refers to Lenin as being an "idealist" and a "decent human being" which sincerely strengthened the proletarian support of this revolutionary leader ... the revolution for the proletarian class. Lenin, too was the key leader who influenced the workers to take up the revolution for the proletarian class (30-31). A passage by Ignazio Silue in Bertram Wolfe's Three Who Made a Revolution shows that Lenin had the drive and concentration for the revolutionary cause and that, from the worker's vantage point, made Lenin appear to be "extraordinary". Lenin's concentration ...
- 9082: Moby Dick: Moral Ambiguity
- Moby Dick: Moral Ambiguity The moral ambiguity of the universe is prevalent throughout Melville’s Moby Dick. None of the characters represent pure evil or pure goodness. Even Melville’s description of Ahab, whom he repeatedly refers to "monomaniacal," suggesting an amorality or psychosis, is given a chance to be seen as a frail, sympathetic character. When Ahab’s "monomaniac" fate is juxtaposed with that of Ishmael, that moral ambiguity deepens, leaving the reader with an ultimate unclarity of principle. The final moments of Moby Dick bring the novel to a terse, abrupt ...

- 9084: David Sculptures
- ... in his prime as a model for his David. Instead, he chooses a barely developed adolescent boy whose arms appeared weak due to the lack of muscles. After defeating Goliath, whose head lies at David's feet, he rests his sword by his side, almost to heavy to handle. It seems almost impossible that a young boy like David could have accomplished such a task. David himself seems skeptical of his deed as he glances down towards his body. Apparently, David's intellect, faith and courage made up for his lack of build (Fichner-Rathus 331-332). Verrocchio, who also designed a sculpture of David, was the most important and imaginative sculptor of the mid-fifteenth century. This figure of the youthful David is one of the most beloved and famous works of its time. In Verrocchio's David, we see a strong contrast to Donatello's treatment of the same subject. Although both artists choose to portray David as an adolescent, Verrocchio's brave man "appears somewhat older and excludes pride ...

- 9086: Sex and Death in Literature
- ... dying. Why else would we try so vehemently to find cures for so many diseases? Therefore, most great literature is about sex and death, for it is those two things that are universally understood. Ibsen’s, A Doll’s House, Strindberg’s Miss Julie and Tennessee Williams Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, are three plays that illustrate the sex and death theory. A Doll’s House contains typical characters, a husband, Torvald, his wife, Nora, ...
- 9087: Nathaniel Hawthorne Weaves Dreams into Reality in Much of His 19th Century Prose
- ... manifested in the souls of man during the firm Christian precepts of the Era in which he lived. As a visionary in an extremely conservative Puritanical society, he carefully and successfully manages to depict humanity's propensity for sin and secrecy, and any resulting punishment or atonement by weaving dreams into his tales. The dreams he refers to in many of his writings are heavily symbolic due to his Christian foundation, and they imply that he views most dreams as a pigmentation of reality. Hawthorne's ability to express and subsequently bring to fruition the true state of man's sinful nature by parallelling dreams with reality represents not only his religious beliefs but also his true mastery of observation regarding the human soul. An examination of Hawthorne's own narrative in his short ...
- 9088: Development Of Shakespeare
- ... this magnificent status? Where did he get the ideas for the masterpieces that he produced? What went through his mind when he wrote characters like Hamlet, Julius Caesar, or even Bottom from A Midsummer Night's Dream? There were many factors that contributed to the works of art he produced, but a few do stand out above the rest: his use of words, his audience, cast, and the literary sources of his ideas. Through these, we can see how Shakespeare developed his personal style of writing and how he constructed his dramatic works. The first of these factors, Shakespeare's use of words, shows a definite progression of skill as he wrote each play. In his early plays, he focused much on the sound and the "color" (Harrison 118) of his wording. His best writings ... out speeches in which he tries to portray some deep passion of his character. Disappointingly though, these hyped up speeches turn out to be just a load of pretty words used to sway the audience's feelings one way or another rather than actually portraying the message that Shakespeare had intended (Harrison 121). The end result of this was that his characters did not have deep passions or even likes ...
- 9089: Causes Of The Wwi
- The assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand triggered World War I. But the war had its origins in developments of the 1800's. The chief causes of World War I were (1) the rise of nationalism, (2) a build-up of military might, (3) competition for colonies, and (4) a system of military alliances. The rise of nationalism. Europe avoided major wars in the 100 years before World War I began. Although small wars broke out, they did not involve many countries. But during the 1800's, a force swept across the continent that helped bring about the Great War. The force was nationalism--the belief that loyalty to a person's nation and its political and economic goals comes before any other public loyalty. That exaggerated form of patriotism increased the possibility of war because a nation's goals inevitably came into conflict with the ...
- 9090: Western Expansion Of The U.S.
- International borders have always been centers of conflict, and the U.S.-Mexican border is no exception. With the European colonizing the New World, it was a matter of time before the powers collided. The Spanish settled what is today Mexico, while the English settled what is ... the belief that the United States had the right to expand westward to the Pacific ocean. On the other hand, Mexico was a new country wanting to protect itself from outside powers. Evidence of U.S. expansion is seen with the independence of Texas from Mexico. The strongest evidence of U.S. expansion goals is with the Mexican-American War. From the beginning, the war was conceived as an opportunity for land expansion. Mexico feared the United States expansion goals. During the 16th century, the Spanish ...
