.... of our own about what we believe to be truths. In the light of his arguments it is hard to firmly root any of our preconceived knowledge. He shows us all of the difficulties there are in trying to do so. I do find his arguments convincing, for I have often found myself in life asking the same type of questions. I have never found any real answers for these questions. None at least that I can call knowledge in a true sense. To tell you now why I think Descartes makes a good argument is easy. I think it is healthy to question what we currently believe as .....

.... was just read. His stanzas are concluded when he wants more attention placed on his current idea. The narrator’s viewpoint towards life in this poem is quite different from how most people see it. Where he writes, “In a field / I am the absence / of field.” (ll. 1-3) instead of acknowledging his existence as something, he regards it as a lack of something. This negativity towards himself is what the entire poem is focused on. He uses the idea that when his body enters an area the parts of that area are momentarily interrupted and are forced a .....

.... wild man. Ask him to give you a harlot, a wanton from the temple of love; return with her, and let her woman’s power this man (3.14). This shows how the women were used as a powerful distraction to seduce a man and take his mind off of what he should be doing. Finally, In Oedipus Rex, the role of women shows the power of royalty and persuasion. Jocasta, Oedipus’ wife and mother, speaks: And as for this marriage with your mother have no fear. Many a man before, you in your dreams, has shared his mother’s bed. Take such things for shadows, n .....

.... "I hold the future to you and all that pass through."() This is engraved on the entrance of Ellis Island in New York Harbor. It has been a welcoming to millions of hopeful immigrants coming to America. They search for a dream. The American dream. What is this dream that so many came looking for? The American dream is believed to be freedom, success, opportunity, perseverance, equality, justice, and safety for all. (). A chance so unique, it only exist in a single country. But how many actually achieve it? Is it a fable or actuality? It can be fact or f .....

.... deep down inside the men are feeling miserable and are low in the level of confidence to proceed with going to the battle front. The usage of 'gay' has been applied to convey the device oxymoron, although the men are anxious about departure for war, they still try to show cheerfulness. Owen progresses further ahead into the poem and introduces people watching the men departure. "A casual tramp, stood staring hard.", the indication we get from this line is that other individuals who have not entered to fight in war are the 'ones' better off than the soldiers. The .....

.... one person raised their hand was a good way of showing just how influential science is in everyone’s lives. I think that there could also be another theme for this book. The other theme I saw to be very present throughout the book was the mere fact that science alone can not necessarily answer questions but can give the flaws to someone’s story. I am very interested in and have been a strong believer in the idea of alien abductions. In fact, I even wrote a whole research essay last year explaining why I believed them to be true. After reading Sagan’s book .....

.... the first stage of impending death - that of denial. Frost paints a picture of school age children doing the household chores of adults. Death with children is especially disturbing because in our unconscious mind we are all immortal, so it is almost inconceivable to be openly confronted with the reality of death. For children, this thought is especially implausible because of their youth. It is much easier to turn our attention to less frightening possibilities. The boy states this to his sister after crying out in a rueful laugh, "Don't let him cut m .....
