...In the Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock, Eliot describes Prufrock and how he feels in such a magnificent way that Prufrock certainly could not do himself because of his insecurity. With a dramatic monologue, Eliot allows the reader to make his or her own conclusions to add meaning to the poem. This poem is one of the most influential poems of the twentieth century because it is not like any love poem that had been previously written. In the sense of paralysis, Eliot creates a poem that generalizes Prufrock’s insecurity. The epigraph of Dante’s Inferno is the first hint of meaning in the poem. By having this piece of the Inferno included we assume the poem will be dark and hellish. The Inferno basically states that the speaker would not have shared...

...much more enchanting, so much more alluring, so much bigger in our mental horizon, that we lose sight of the details altogether. But whenever failure comes, if we analyse it critically, in ninety-nine per cent of cases we shall find that it was because we did not pay attention to the means. Proper attention to the finishing, strengthening, of the means is what we need. With the means all right, the end must come. We forget that it is the cause that produces the effect; the effect cannot come by itself; and unless the causes are exact, proper, and powerful, the effect will not be produced. Once the ideal is chosen and the means determined, we may almost let go the ideal, because we are sure it will be there, when the means are perfected. When the cause is there, there is no more difficulty about the effect, the effect is bound to come. If we take care of the cause, the effect will take care of itself. The realization of the ideal is the effect. The means are the cause: attention to the means, therefore, is the great secret of life. We also read this in the Gita and learn that we have to work, constantly work with all our power; to put our whole mind in the work, whatever it be, that we are doing. At the same time, we must not be attached....

...Mary Shelly’s “Frankenstein” Essay Introduction: Mary Shelly’s “Frankenstein” has is more than just an ordinary novel. It is a book that carries a profound philosophical message. The novel touched me to my very soul. It turned out to be a book not about a struggle against a monster but a tragedy of a scientist, who reached the goal of his work and life and realized that breathless horror and disgust filled his heart but all of these is on the surface. The deepest philosophical thought is covered and hidden, but is very deep. The author tries to say that life is a gift. After this gift is given no one can take it away and it becomes the responsibility of the creator. The novel makes the reader concerned with the question: “Is a human being able to take responsibility to give life?”. “Frankenstein’s” philosophy is a conflict between the value of human life and the value of a scientific discovery. This story is not only the tragedy of Victor Frankenstein but also of his creation. It is the tragedy of loneliness and fighting alone with the world.The tragedy of Viktor Frankenstein was a tragedy of him being a toy in the hand of his own parents for the believed that he “was in their hands to direct to happiness or misery”[p.34]. The next quote shows exactly how he grew up: “they were not the tyrants to rule our lot according to their caprice, but the agents and creators of all the many delights which we enjoyed…”[p.37]. This subconsciously led him to the desire to have somebody...

No one dares to ask him why he wears it, instead they choose to spread a rumor. “It was remarkable that of all the busybodies and impertinent people in parish, not one ventured to put the plain question to Mr. Hooper (Pg. 240).” The narrator uses curiosity to make the reader more entide to the basic situation.

...Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man of great faith and a strong Christian role model. He was a source of inspiration to those around him because he knew he had God by his side. However, in an excerpt from his book Strength to Love (Nicknamed Our God is Able), King’s analysis of evil, particularly in his description of science, raised some questions in my mind. Martin Luther King Jr. is correct in arguing that we need God and cannot blindly trust science. But is his depiction of “the god of science” really a proper way to think about science? In systematic theology early this year, we came to the conclusion that science is another tool just as given to us by God as the Bible is, and though they should play different roles in developing our faith, both reveal some truth about God. Science and Religion have often been unjustly put head to head in debates, but one who does this must not truly understand either one. While no one expects King to understand science to the degrees of Stephen Hawking, I do believe that it is not right to so blatantly deny some gift from God. Perhaps a similar comparison will help explain what I mean - when two people get married, they are expected to love their partner as a whole person. They cannot say, “I do… so long as you do something about your laugh. I don’t get it!”...

...society to which they belong in their history or animated movie. Disney is the reflects of the habit of society to which they belong in their history or their short films. Thus heroines like Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora are submitted to wish than others, especially men, have chosen for her. They are docile women who spend their time dreaming. They are always save by men from a evil spell and are submit to the will of men. Instead, the heroines of the late twentieth century are beginning to take their lives and rebel against the male authority . In the twenty-first century heroines are increasingly rebelling and advocate of feminist principles : women are the equals of men. This analysis allows us to see a marked increase of women's place in society. The woman is no longer the instrument of men, but she dares to rebel and run her own life. The mentality, habits, and even laws have changed thanks to the image of the woman shows in Disney animated films. Disney is a holder of innovation. It allows children, essentially girls, to find them to their society and live in their time. Pythagoras wrote in the sixth...

...Land of the lost This paper is an analysis and interpretation of Stewart O’ Nan’s “Land of the Lost”. A woman’s almost obsessive investigation of a young woman’s death is the center of this short story, where Stewart O’ Nan’s portrayal of the main character makes her more fascinating to the reader than the missing girl. The name of the main character is unknown to us, but despite the anonymity we are able to observe her feelings and behavior through a third person narrator. The point of view lies with her and that makes the narration personal and feels as if she told the story herself, but at the same time it gives the reader an opportunity to craft its own opinion about her. The death of a child unknown to you wouldn’t normally affect you as much as it does the main character. All she can think and talk about is this certain case and it becomes an immense part of her as she puts her normal life as well as her health under pressure to search for the dead girl. Her motives are to be found in her personal life. She works as a cashier, is divorced and lives alone with her German shepherd Ollie. I dare say that her goals in life aren’t achieved at this point and she has a gap in her life she needs to fulfill. All humans have a need to be recognized by others and by dedicating her time to the family of the young girl she finally has a purpose and meaning in her life. She is missing children to take care of, a husband to love, friends to talk to and a job to appreciate. All...

...Two Tramps in a Mud Time Analysis When initially reading “Two Tramps in Mud Time” it can be looked at as two incongruent poems. Some of the stanzas have no connection to the stanzas before them or following them. One of the two possible poems viewed; the narrator seems narcissistic and focused on oneself. The second poem within “Two Tramps in Mud Time”, the narrator turns to the power and beauty of nature that the reader can relate to. In the final sections of the poem the narrator reveals his deep thoughts to the reader which brings the poem back together as a single whole poem, not disharmonious two separate poems. In the first two stanzas of the poem the narrator focuses on oneself by using me, my or I distinctively. The lines “Out of the mud two strangers came/ And caught me splitting wood in the yard, / And one of them put me off my aim/ By hailing cheerily “Hit them hard!”” makes the narrator sound arrogant and shows that he is annoyed by the two tramps showing up unexpectedly and interfering with his wood chopping (1-4). By the phrases “caught me splitting wood in the yard” and “put me off my aim” makes the narrator sound superficial and what he is doing is above what the two tramps were doing or were about to do. The narrator then immediately jumps to negative conclusions that the tramps wanted to steal his job: “I knew pretty well what he had in mind: / He wanted to take my job for pay” (7-8). “My job” adds to the arrogant narrator because he is classifying his pleasure...
