I am hesitant to describe the technological advances that take place in the future. The changes would shock you and cause you to disbelieve my experiences, so I choose to keep that to myself until a later date and describe to you the changes in government and morality.

Words: 688 - Pages: 3.... that cannot be ignored. The atrocities of NAZI' Germany are used as symbols of the horror of male domination. The constant and crippling manipulation of the male, as he introduces oppression and hopelessness into the lives of his women, is equated with the twentieth century's worst period. Words such as Luftwaffe, panzerman, and Meinkampf look are used to descibe her father and husband as well as all male domination. The frequent use of the word black throughout the poem conveys a feeling of gloom and suffocation.
Like many women in society, we know that Plath felt oppressed and stifled throughout her life by her use of the simile "I have li .....

Crucible Act 1 Summary
Words: 566 - Pages: 3.... does she feel it a necessity to admit witchcraft was a part of their dance. She doesn't admit she is a witch, rather that Ruth and Tituba were.
The Putnam's are the next to enter the play. Goody Putnam had lost seven children to birth and her only surviving daughter, Ruth, was not able to wake, just like Betty Parris. She was among those in the forest. Both Putnam's are quick to blame a witch for what has happened to Ruth and for what has happened to them in the past. Parris still fights the idea of witchcraft but is getting closer to accepting it as truth.
Through the conversations between Abigail, Betty, Mercy Lewis, and Mary Warren .....

Beowulf 10
Words: 865 - Pages: 4.... Told to warriors right before they went out to battle. The story teller would have possibly sang this story so that it could be remembered. Because of this there is a certain flow to the piece, not any rhyming, but there is a general flow.
The first sign of alliteration occurs on the first line of the piece extracted from the story. "Then the dangerous dragon…" It goes on to emphasize the burdening problem the dragon, "…scourge of the Geats…" is towards the innocent Geats. When in reality, the Geats were doing as much killing as the dragon, and their killing was probably less justifiable than the dragons, considering t .....

Comparison Of Karl Marx And Matthew Arnold

culture be reached. In his writings, Arnold stated that for a man to be
cultured he has to be versed in both religion and classic literature. Although

passion for knowing" (21). Arnold believed that cul .....

Waiting For Godot
Words: 911 - Pages: 4.... when considering the play's existentialist aspects.
Interestingly, Vladimir and Estragon deny that they know Godot when Pozzo asks them. Keeping with the religious theme, this is parallel to Peter's denial of Jesus.
Another interpretation is that Pozzo is God, and Lucky is mankind. Perhaps Pozzo is really Godot, as he was mistaken for Godot, or maybe Pozzo is just there as a deception. Lucky wants to satisfy Pozzo with menial acts of obedience (according to Pozzo's own explanation of Lucky's actions), while Pozzo seems quite apathetic to Lucky's deeds and plights. However, in the second act, Pozzo needs Lucky to exist, because Pozzo .....

Macbeth 4
Words: 665 - Pages: 3.... shows notable cowardice when planning the murder of Duncan. Macbeth leans from one side to the other because he is fearful of the reprocutions.
