And this could hurt somones self esteem, and could damage the way someone looks upon ones self. In the poem the girl tries to make her self prettier, by creating artificial pretty ness. But in the end the mirror never lies. The poem & the article compar .....

Macbeth - Contradiction In The
Words: 690 - Pages: 3.... Macbeth that he will not go through with it.
She has to goad him into killing the King. After
committing the murder, Macbeth seems almost
delirious. He says that "…all great Neptune’s
ocean will not wash this blood clean from my
hand"(Act II, Scene ii, lines 60-61). When he
murders Banquo, Macbeth is still in torment, but
the cause of his anguish seems to have changed.
He is afraid of Banquo, because Banquo knows about
the witches and because the witches predicted that
his descendents would be kings. Banquo’s death,
he says will put his mind at rest.
As the play goes on, there is a fundamental change
in Macbeth’s characte .....

The Five-forty-eight
Words: 1157 - Pages: 5.... do we discover that he took advantage of this woman and her defenselessness. Or so he thought.
It is apparent by now that she wasn't the only one that he took advantage of. The following sentence suggests that there were many others before her. "Most of the many women he had known had been picked for their lack of self-esteem." It is clear that "picked" has a double meaning in this place. To fill a secretary's position was a mere masquerade, compared to the real reason of quenching his personal desires and victories. Because of his overconfidence, he underestimated Miss Dent. How could someone so young and frail do anything to har .....

Odysseus The Hero
Words: 314 - Pages: 2.... for Odysseus. Carried away with his pride, he unwisely gave away his identity to Polythemus. Polythemus then called upon his father, Poseidon, to punish the man who had harmed him. Odysseus not only lost a few men, but also had a long miserable trip home.
Odysseus also had a weakness for the opposite sex. He enjoyed women. Circe and Calypso played big parts in showing Odysseus' weakness for women. He stayed with Circe for one year and with Calypso for seven years. It is amazing to think that a man of such prowess and bravery had such a weakness.
The biggest surprise when looking at Odysseus was the fact that he had so many weaknesses. Nob .....

Of Mice And Men
Words: 630 - Pages: 3.... of Milton, Steinbeck seems to be showing that he is an example of fallen man, someone who is doomed to loneliness and who wants to return to the Garden of Eden. Perhaps this is why George is always talking about having his own place and living "off the fat of the land," as Adam and Eve did before their fall.
In a way, Lennie is always described in an animal sense. In the beginning of the novel he is referred to as having paws or he snorts like a horse. Every single minute someone is taking care of Lennie. First Aunt Clara has the responsibility then George.
Lennie always wants puppies or talks about rabbits that he will tend on their fu .....

effect, and are inescapable. She attempts to derive a morality from this
view of metaphysics. She believe that man (sic) is a certain type of
being: a rational animal. Man is the only form of being which must
actually think in order to survive. This, to her, implies that it is
RIGHT for man to think. The good is that which is useful to and promotes
life. The life in question is ones own life. However, one doesn't have
the responsibility for the lives of others, except in a negative sense..
not to interfere with the rights of others to pursue their own life.

Although the Edwards excerpt sentence involved fear, emotional deception and mental deception to obtain the audiences full attention, the opening sentence of Jefferson’s Declaration gives the audience a much different approach to procure the audiences focus. Jefferson’s opening sentence has a mild tone of diction, for the beginning of an informative speech. The eloquent words highly imposed among the speech, when dictated, create a powerful sentence that attracts the attention of the audience with curiosity in what .....

is manifest with it. White Anglo Saxon Protestants came to this country
with adventure in their hearts and spreading the word of God on their minds.
The new settlers soon found that they were not alone in the country they
proclaimed as their own. They found a people, different from themselves and
with no loyalty to the Almighty God. This untamed, human was called ‘
savage' and, ignorantly, despised for their commitment to no one but
themselves. With Christianity as their guide, the European settler managed
to almost destroy that culture for no other reason than it was different
than its own. The historical record of the .....
