…each leg shall be jointed twice and have one foot, and each foot five toes, and each toe shall end with a flat nail…and any creature that shall seem to be human but is not formed thus is not human…It is a blasphemy against the true Image of God, and hateful in the sight of God.
(Wyndham.13).
Is this definition actually true? Not according to the Holy Bible; the real Bible. It tells us, "But I say to you, love your enemies…" (Matthew 5:44). Even if your
enemies have an extra arm, toe or leg, you should still love them! Besides when you di .....

The Trial By Kafka And The Stranger By Camus: Flaws And Failures Of The Judicial System
Words: 1578 - Pages: 6.... the authors views.
The plot of the two novels is very similar. Both men are on trial
and are sentenced to death because of flaws in the judicial systems. The
specifics about each trial and the different flaws are entirely different,
however.
The purpose of the plot in The Trial is to show the downfalls of a
judicial system that is run without the public’s knowledge or input. Kafka
wants the reader see the flaws in their judicial system and to become
actively involved in the judicial reforms. He wants the reader to see that
these flaws should not just be brushed off as mere inconveniences. He uses
K. to show the life-altering (and in K .....

Words: 1358 - Pages: 5.... Was that really the hair
that Della had sold just 2 years ago? It was, and Jim thought that Della would

Jim thought, “will this be a useful gift, and I don't mean in a few years, this
time I want to get it right,” So Jim thought for two days straight. Finally he
came up with an idea, “I'll make it into a wig, a girl can never have to many
wigs.” So he went to the wig shop, which usually only made those white braided

Neighborhood Shock
Words: 1050 - Pages: 4.... Pino is telling his father how tired he is of trying to run their business in a black neighborhood as he asks, "Could we sell this and open up a new pizza parlor in our own neighborhood? Barnlund further explores this surcumstance when he says; "It is a feeling of helplessness, even of terror or anger, that accompanies working in an alien society. One feels trapped in an absurd and indecipherable nightmare" (72). I also think this is a great example of what Barnlund refers to as "interpersonal understanding" (68), the desire of people to associate with others that share the same views as themselves and who express themselves in sim .....

Around The World In Eighty Days: Summary
Words: 573 - Pages: 3.... character in the novel is Passepartout. Passepartout
was an innocent Frenchman that just after being hired as Mr. Fogg's servant
was told to pack for a trip around the world. Throughout the entire novel
the reader is informed of all the peculiar habits of Fogg that Passepartout
had to support.
My least favorite character is Fix the detective. He followed Fogg
around the globe, he missed arresting him in India and Hong Kong through
incompetence, and as soon as they arrived back in London, he did arrest
Fogg but erroneously.
The main conflict of the novel was time. Time caused a lot of
pressure on Fogg; he had to get back to London on .....
