Also, to defend her ways she uses logic and reason, Chauncer also, never judges her like he does to many other characters, but lets her speak ...
  • Perfect And Ideal Chevalier Servant
    621 words
    Cyrano de Bergerac Every generation has its own heroes that display what they believe to be ideal characteristics. While each is different in their own way, many of these role models share similar qualities.

    Greenspan - The Case for the Defense My fascination with the Judicial System Structure of today's society was furthered and strengthened after reading and analyzing the works of Edward Greenspan. The superbly written biography recollecting past cases and important events in Greenspan's life allowed myself, the reader, to learn more about Jurisprudence and the Criminal Code. The entire casebook revolves around several main themes including the balance of Positive and Natural influences in the cou...
  • Reader Of My Blog
    2,280 words
    Recently, Merriam-Webster announced that, based on "online lookup's", the number one word of the year was "blogs" (Morse, Page 1). Their definition of a blog is "a web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer" (Morse, Page 1). This definition is inaccurate based on my research, as blogs are not always "personal" and can include more than one author. Throughout my research, many bloggers in the have referred to websites ...

  • Boarding School
    632 words
    A Reader's Guide to The Catcher in the Rye Though J.D. Salinger's book, The Catcher in the Rye, has served as a major controversial element of fiction within our reading society, it does, in fact, contain another side to the story. Holden Caulfield, who is sixteen, has just flunked out of another boarding school that his parents have sent him to. It seems that he has become very experienced in failing courses. The only classes that he manages to pass are the ones that repeat the same teaching ma...

  • Social Basis For The Kukuanas
    1,311 words
    Henry Rider Haggard sets out to create an epic tale of courage, a breathtaking drama that attempts to capture, within its limits, the universal spirit of adventure. He appeals in particular to the proverbial young male that seeks an audacious inspiration in life by which to model his own. He entices his readers because his motives lie simply in his desire to entertain, to delight, and to enthrall anyone with a prolific imagination. However, this purely entertaining account of an eclectic and adv...
  • Johnathan Swift
    1,063 words
    In his biting political satire called "A Modest Proposal", Johnathan Swift seeks to create empathy for the poor through his ironic portrayal of the children of Irish beggars as commodities that can be regulated and even eaten. He is able to poke fun at the dehumanization of the multitudes of poor people in Ireland by ironically commenting on what he sees as an extension of the current situation. Swift's essay seeks to comment on the terrible condition of starvation that a huge portion of Ireland...
  • Giving Of A Gift
    552 words
    The irony in the short stories, "The Necklace" and "The Gift of the Magi", ought to be further analyzed. Through examination of this element in literature the reader can derive many morals and themes that could be useful in their own lives. "The Necklace" is a perfect example of irony and sends many powerful messages to the reader. On one level the reader learns that cheating and lying are not always the best policy. Because of M. and Mdm. Loisel's poor judgment and choice to lie to Mdm. Foresti...
  • Reader Through The Story
    674 words
    Reaching Fiction After reading "The Child by Tiger", written by Thomas Wolfe, and Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game", I have noticed that these stories are similar, yet they are different. Although both stories have manhunts and mad men, according to Thomas R. Arp, the editor of Perrine's Literature: Structure, Sound, and Sense, "The Child by Tiger" is "interpretive" literature, and "The Most Dangerous Game" is "escapist" literature which is shown by the contrasting settings and events ...
  • Alludes To Thoreau's Ideas On Civil Disobedience
    676 words
    Civil disobedience, standing up for what you believe in, and willingly being able to suffer the consequences for that cause are ideas that both Henry David Thoreau and Martin Luther King Jr. hold dearly and express persuasively in their respectable pieces, Civil Disobedience, and Letter From Birmingham Jail. Although the two stylistically coincide in many elements, the have their share of differences as well. The most evident of the differences is the contrasting persuasive methods used by each ...
  • Credibility Of Elmer Gantry
    652 words
    The majority of all books are trash. Sinclair Lewis Elmer Gantry is a great book because it has credibility, a timeless theme, and it has the necessary action. Any book that can do that is a great book. The credibility of Elmer Gantry is something that will keep this book eternally great. Although the actual time period is dated, the plot is not dated. Most people can relate to the different characters in the book. Elmer is a pompous football player who thinks that he is higher than any religion...
  • Wife Of Bath's Portrait
    460 words
    Sharp, intelligent and remarkably astute; Chaucer the author is evidently as fascinated by the Wife of Bath as the na " ive, impressionable narrator through whom her portrait is related. A shameless, outspoken woman, she could quite feasibly claim the most complete portrayal; appearance, behaviour and spirit are discussed - and Chaucer even delves into intimate personal history. Yet, despite her flaws being laid bare, readers - and, more significantly, Chaucer himself - respond to this character...
  • Use Of Point Of View
    613 words
    A child often sees the world in a different perspective than a fully mature adult does. It is easy for one to forget how big the world can look to a young person. Life experiences at such a tender age often shape and mold a person into what he or she becomes as an adult. In the passage from "A White Heron", the author uses vivid imagery, elaborate diction, and an innocent point of view to reveal how awesome and powerful the world and simple life experiences can seem through the eyes of a child. ...
