Hardin's "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against The Poor" - No! You Cannot Come In
Number of words: 863 - Number of pages: 4

.... on our lifeboat the government is drowning us all. "If we do let an extra 10 people in our lifeboat, we will have lost our 'safety factor,' an engineering principle of critical importance" (page 757). I cannot take a chance in helping people if it is going to put me in risk. Instead of giving the money to non Americans it should be used only in America. The money used to help the poorer countries can be very useful in the United States. The middle class people in America get no help. More of that money can go toward the middle class families. The middle class .....


Dr Faustus
Number of words: 1105 - Number of pages: 5

.... to be the author of the whole play (I don't like it when someone comes along a changes a piece of art, or that people say that someone changed it because it is just too good to be true) made me dig deeper to try and find something that sounded more sensible to me. I would have to say that it was eight lines in scene five that were spoken by Mephastophilis in response to a question from Faustus. These Lines were (pg.442 lines 110-125): Mephastophilis. Now Faustus, ask what thou wilt. Faustus. First will I question thee about hell: Tell me, where is the place tha .....


The Man Who Liked Slow Tomatoe
Number of words: 699 - Number of pages: 3

.... trying to climb through that pattern, it strangles so; I think that is why it has so many heads.”(Gilman 213) This is meaning that if a women tried to play a role in society she was just not taken seriously, or felt like trying to play a role was getting nowhere. The way Gilman describes the wallpaper tells of what the narrator’s mind is thinking, “and when you follow the lame uncertain curves for a little distance they suddenly commit suicide.”(Gillman 206) She doesn’t think this on the conscious level but more on the unconscious le .....


Julius Caesar
Number of words: 1722 - Number of pages: 7

.... Both historical accounts record that Caesar had recently returned from a long military campaign that sent him to the far reaches of the Roman Empire. Shakespeare’s account tells of a recent victory over Pompey but does not say that Caesar returned from a massive campaign. In Komroff’s account, The conspirators had planned for much longer than the other authors recorded. Komroff wrote that the conspirators convinced the Senate to offer Caesar the crown. The conspirators then placed a crown on a statue of Caesar that was quickly torn down by Caesar’s friend .....


For Whom The Bell Tolls
Number of words: 841 - Number of pages: 4

.... is the setting for the book, on the battlefields in the Spanish countryside. The whole fascist/communist aspect is brought up since both sides are against one another. Here again, Hemingway doesn’t idealize either side, not referring to their political beliefs but to the fact that each side is very much the same. Both sides consist of sad, depressed fools who have been shipped off to war, content to live in peace and harmony with each other. It is here that Hemingway’s first satirical punch at war comes in, when he makes it clear that both sides are huma .....


Comparing Prince Hal And Henry's Models Of Statescraft
Number of words: 1047 - Number of pages: 4

.... not so subtle way oftelling Hal that the King doesn't think he is fit to suceed him to the throne. Prince Hal on the other hand has a different idea of statecraft. He expresses his ideas in his speech in Act I, scene ii when he says "If all the year were playing holidays, To sport would be as tedious as to work; But when they seldom come, they wish'd-for come,...My reformation glitt'ring o'er my fault, Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes than that which hath no foil to set it off." He is saying that he may be acting like a common ruffian now but when h .....


Upon The Burning Of Our Land
Number of words: 869 - Number of pages: 4

.... everything they saw, including the land and its native people. Chief Seathl showed the effects the settlers had on the land as more land and people were “burned away” for the settlers’ consumption. Chief Seathl spoke of issues that were argued for many years, and which still have relevance in our lives today. Through remarkably poetic penmanship, Chief Seathl’s letter to the president also showed the great respect that he and other Native Americans had for this land, but that the white settlers didn’t. The letter written by Chi .....


Beloved
Number of words: 452 - Number of pages: 2

.... she wants to own Sethe, a relation not unlike that of a master and slave. "I am and she is mine," (Morrison 211) is one of the more eerie statements in the book. How traps Sethe is simple, for Sethe "the future was a matter of keeping the past at bay" (Morrison 42) and when her past, , catches up with her the future is gone and she is enslaved. What's more, does not intend to allow her slave to go free, "I will not lose her again." (Morrison 214) When Beloved returns to the leaves it could be argued that she was either chased away by Sethe's rejections .....
