- 9681: Sonnet 130
- Compare And Contrast Essay In William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 and Christopher Marlowe’s The Passionate Shepherd To His Love, the themes of unconditional love, opulent treasures, and vivid imagery are all conveyed throughout the poems but through different point of views. The theme of unconditional love is expressed ... love as rare as any she belied with false compare." This shows his honesty in speaking about his object of affection, yet he achieves the same sense of unconditional love that the poet in Marlowe’s poem tries to delineate without using embellishments. The speaker in Sonnet 130 doesn’t hyperbolize about his "rare" love using a plethora of exaggerations to portray his fondness for his "mistress" as the poet ...
- 9682: Heroes 2
- ... to say: open your eyes! Today, I would like to introduce you to a "real life hero." To make this introduction, it will be necessary to go back a few years to the late 1960's. The place is Southeast Asia, and the man is one Lieutenant/Colonel, United States Navy, Robinson "Robbie" Risner. Shot down during a mission over Vietnam, Colonel Risner is taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese, and ... most times, only once a day! He estimates, in The Passing of the Night, his account of his time while in prison, the amount of each feeding at 8-12 ounces of this delicious gourmet's delight. His medical care: making sure he did not "expire" while going through the torture inflicted by his captors. If he died, there would be heck to pay! He was a bargaining tool as a prisoner, worth absolutely nothing dead! His body would have simply disappeared. He was released with most of our prisoners. I say most because documentation exists showing photos of American POW's spotted even as late as last year "in country", as they say. He came home with a severe limp, and unending pain due to an untreated broken left leg suffered when he ejected from ...
- 9683: The Korean Traditional Dances
- ... a lot of the traditional dances in Korea. Korean peoples have always a deep love for music and dance. Korean traditional dances are in a form of art. They express the emotions that they couldn't express in every day life. Korean dance has accurate expression and free movements. Last year I saw t'alchum on television, which is one of the famous Korean dances. It is a mask dance- drama where the people in the old days expressed their emotions. The mask covers their face, so that it isn't recognizable who the person is. I think the mask symbolizes something that can cover their sin. As long they have the mask on, they can express their emotions that they couldn't express in ...
- 9684: Blacks Treated as Lower Class Citizens
- ... not been treated as equals was when they could not get a decent job. The black community has always been treated as a lower- class citizen not only in the past, but also in today's society. The first example that the black community has been treated as a lower- class citizen was when they couldn't get a good education. "Besides, those doors are always open to them…But most are deprived of education…This gets easier and easier until she comes up with still another child to abort or support ... them of an education for many centuries. The quote also shows how an education is a privilege for a lower class citizen and is taken for granted for middle- and higher- class citizens. In today's society blacks are still being persecuted in schools. An example in today's society that blacks are still being discriminated against is in Corvallis, Oregon. At Oregon State University the white students and faculty ...
- 9685: Gender Socialization
- Gender Socialization A baby is born and the doctor looks at the parents and says three simple words: It's a boy or It's a girl! Before a newborn child even takes his or her first breath of life outside the mother's womb, he or she is characterized by gender. The baby is brought home and dressed in clothes that help friends, family and even strangers identify the sex of the child. Baby boys are dressed ...
- 9686: "Three Strikes and You're Out"
- "Three Strikes and You're Out" The most recent law to come about has been the “3 strikes and you're out” law. It sounds so socially acceptable why wouldn't we want to have it? If a person commits two misdemeanors they serve them as such. However, should they commit a third it would be classified as a felony and they would no longer serve their time at the county jail, rather the state penitentiary. You hear this and say, “hey that's great…tougher laws,” but when you strip away the figurative English and break it down you might change your mind. Let's start off by using a minor misdemeanor such as petty theft for example. Petty theft means that a person stole something valued less than $400. So let's say our little criminal here steals ...
- 9687: Pliable Reality
- Pliable Reality Rain pounds the front of Joe's car as he drives down a dark lonely road. Joe can't figure out how he had gotten lost "How can a man get lost? " he thinks. At that moment, he hit a large patch of mud and slid off the road into a tree. Getting out and slamming the door he surveyed the damage to his car. He could get it to start it again but it wouldn't budge. He saw a light in the middle of the field just a ways off. So he thought he would just go over there and call a tow truck if it could find him ...
- 9688: Being Young
- Being Young Everyone has once been young. But everybody hasn't gone through this difficult period in life the same way. Which possibilities and living conditions have teenagers nowadays? Some people think that you leave childhood when you become a teenager, and that you are still young up in your twenties. I don't think there are exact limits that tell you whether you are young or old. According to christian tradition one is considered adult after the confirmation, but I wouldn't call fifteen year-olds adults. At that age, they're still not ready to handle the consequences of their own actions. When you are eighteen, you are considered an independent individual, and have all ...
- 9689: The Millennium Bug
- ... and running water. Fixing the problem is difficult because there are [less than] two years left to correct 40 years of behavior" (de Jager 1). Alan Greenspan has warned that being 99 percent ready isn't enough (Widder 2). Chief Economist Edward Yardeni has said that the chances for a worldwide recession to occur because of Y2K are at 40% (Widder 3). Senator Bob Benett (Republican, Utah) made a good analogy about the potential of the problem. "In the 1970's, oil was the energy that ran our world economy. Today it runs on the energy of information." He later said, "To cripple the technological flow of information throughout the world is to bring it to a virtual standstill" (Widder 3). The potential of the problem in everyday life is alarming. Imagine making a loan payment in 1999 for a bill that is due in 2000. The company’s computers could interpret the '00' as 1900 and you would then be charged with 99 years of late fees (Moffitt & Sandler 48). If the year 2000 problem isn't solved, there could be "no ...
- 9690: Joseph Stalin
- ... position that he held until the day of his death. Stalin also occupied other key positions, which enabled him to build up enormous personal power in the government. This is a key point in Stalin’s life where he was enormously confident about himself which led him to do things that were no acceptable in today’s standard life. After the death of Vladimir I. Lenin in 1924 Stalin became leader of the Soviet Union where he made many changes to agriculture and industry. He believed that the Soviet Union was one ... the slaves. Joseph Stalin was an evil man. The party of slaves that he started, the Kulaks, (meaning that they had a little bit more than the regular slaves) were being stubborn and they didn’t want to give Stalin their crops without him paying a certain fee for them. When the Kulaks started to rebel against Stalin, he was infuriated and he declared war against the slaves. Stalin and ...
