...The taste of victory is the burden of Responsibility Human life is different to animal life on the account of senses as we have the sense of joy, pleasure, happiness, sadness and victory. Furthermore, we feel the sense of poverty and responsibility and such feelings make us worth living for others. It is a joy of victory that brings the package of responsibilities. But very few of great people realize this responsibility and make themselves successful one. Successful man should not feel himself free from any responsibility. Every victorious man is attached with responsibility to discharge. There is no doubt to say that the taste of victory is the burden of responsibility. Firstly, victorious teacher has to translate the taste of victory by imparting quality education similarly a successful politician has to take the responsibility of qualitative legislation. No character is free from the burden of responsibility. Great people like Nelson Mandela ,Quaid-e-Azam enjoyed the taste of victory by demonstrating responsibility therefore we should learn that in whatever capacity we may be we are bound to show responsibility. Secondly, life examines everyone through victories and responsibilities and it’s up to us whether we fall back or stay firm and achieve success. As it is rightly said by John Kennedy “Every test in our life makes us bitter or better, every problem comes to make us or break us, the choice is ours whether we become victims or victorious”. All victorious...

Days of Heaven on Earth AUTHOR'S PREFACE Most men hesitate to speak of their own spiritual experiences. They are deterred by the fear of making "self" too prominent, or are ashamed to confess how much practical unbelief and half-hearted allegiance to their Lord exist in their lives. The writer of this book knows his own unworthiness; but he humbly believes that he also knows something of the worthiness of an All-sufficient Savior. The manner in which this knowledge came -- through an apparently trivial incident -- is itself remarkable. The immediate result was a joy which no bridling could restrain. But whenever this Victorious Life was spoken of, requests were made for "something in print." After much pressure from many directions, and with much hesitation on the part of the writer, he ventured to put...

...best and worst of people. People usually go after a team from their home town or teams with the same ethnic background. It has often been learned that, from this, language barriers begin to cross each other, and prejudices develop. Maya Angelou’s “Champion of the World” is much more than a chapter in a book. It represents much more than a boxing victory. During the 1930’s, people of ethnic groups, especially Blacks, were not worth much. When Angelou stated, “Champion of the world. A Black boy. Some Black mother’s son.” (Paragraph 27), this defined struggle. This battle against the White Contender was not your ordinary victory. The victory would exemplify the Blacks, not only defeating a White man and it being okay, but also would portray an aspect of Blacks defeating the system. For once in their lives, it gave African Americans a sense of empowerment. This was their first step of defense, where no repercussions would be taken in exchange for victory.

Harold ignores their advice and goes on to...

...were born with an urge to know the unknown. It has been proven in many contexts and the authors of crime fiction wisely enough take an advantage of this. Though I can’t speak for everyone this is indeed why I find them fascinating. An example of crime fiction novels could be “The Big Sleep” which is a hard-boiled detective and to some degree mysterious crime fiction novel. As we’ve only red and excerpt of “The Big Sleep” I cannot explain too much. Basically it’s about a man named Philip Marlowe, who is a private detective. One day in mid-October he is called in to General Sternwood’s place. He possibly wants Marlowe to handle a matter of blackmailing as the general said, and I quote “Meantime I’m being blackmailed again.” when they were chatting in his greenhouse. Unfortunately it can’t be known for sure even though it’s the only the thing that seems to stand out. Marlowe is a 33-years old detective from L.A. In his past he worked for the District Attorney also as an investigator. He’s a highly educated man as he once studied in a university. This also proves that he is to some extent intellectual and hardworking. He is a very typical character according to the American hard-boiled crime fiction stories as he too is...

...The poem “Tractor” is written by Ted Hughes is literally about a tractor. The season is winter and the man is trying to start the tractor but is unable to do so because of the weather. Eventually, the man is able to start the tractor. However, while reading it further, this poem seems to be telling us that with determination, man can overcome many problems no matter how tough the problem is, using nature as a form of trouble to humans. Moreover, it also tells us that the journey to solving the problem is difficult. This poem is in nine stanzas, where the first four stanzas describe the process of starting up the tractor while the last five stanzas, describe how the tractor finally starts up and rejoices. The poet personifies the tractor and uses contrast to bring about its theme in the poem. Firstly, the narrative point of view poet uses a first person narrative viewpoint, which creates an impression of irritation and anger that the poet has towards the tractor. This helps us to understand the emotions of the persona towards the tractor. Firstly, he uses “I stare at it in hatred”. The emotion ‘hatred’ is a passionate feeling of anger, and the ‘stare’ tells us that it is extremely irritated by the reluctance of the tractor start as it ‘defied’ the narrator. This phrase tells us that the persona is facing a lot of difficulty, causing him to feel hatred towards the tractor. Additionally, the poet uses “I squirt commercial sure-fire down the black throat”. This phrase has...

...honorable prize to him. He continues to talk about how the modern man has created an incredible world with many, many great endeavors. But then he points out a flaw, he then speaks about how the human spirit has increasingly suffered the more and more our technological achievements grow. That the human soul is in a state of poverty. He claims that man lives in two different realms of existence. He calls these two realms internal and external. He believes that one of the biggest problems in todays society is that we have allowed for the internal to be lost in the external. The internal realm is more about the spirit and the soul, and the external is more about material things and possessions. There are three major problems in our world that grow out of main problem, which is ethical infantilism. The first of the problems is racial injustice, this problem has plagued many nations and communities across the word for many, many years. The normal structure of modern society is being redone, it is being reviewed and is going through dramatic changes. There are many laws and rules that are being changed to help remove racial injustice from america, for instance, in 1954 the separation of whites and colored folk in the school system become a thing of the far past. The change in the school systems rocked the doctrine separate but equal.

...exaggerating the effect of aging on people is a characteristic of Roman sculpture (Watson, Mark. "Part I." Week 4 Lecture. .Lecture.). 2. “Through the course of Roman history was a transition of a republican model of government to a vast empire that conquered the entire Mediterranean and invested a great deal in one man, an emperor (Watson, Mark. “Part I." Week 4 Lecture. .Lecture.). Victory columns and triumphal arches depict this power and stability of the empire and can be categorized as t. Triumphal arches were monumental symbolic arches built over the top of Main Street and the Roman Empire. “The triumphal arches use the orders frame and accent the large central gateway and to flank it by narrow openings. It was an arrangement that could be used for architectural composition much as a chord used in music (Gombrich, E.H. The Story of Art. 94. Print.)” Victory columns. The victory columns were columns that were put up to show their victories in various wars. The columns were representation of more modern architecture. You can literally step inside from the bottom through the door and work your way to the top where there would be a sculpture of whom the victory was dedicated to. 3. Each empire had their own style.

...that is determined by the accomplishments of an individual? Many would agree that geniuses are a combination of both intellect and their accomplishments achieved. An abundance of names would come to one’s mind when speaking of geniuses: Leonardo Da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, and Stephen Hawking. But one name that seems to slip the minds of many is none other than Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon is a figure in history that is very controversial; some view him as a hero of the people while others view him as a tyrant and the devil incarnate. However, none can argue with the accomplishments that Napoleon achieved over a long career. He took France and ultimately saved it from itself; he improved the nation with his domestic policies, victories in battle as well as giving the French a global identity and a sense of pride. Therefore, Napoleon was a genius despite the minor evidence that showed otherwise. Napoleon was a genius military leader. As a young boy, Napoleon was enrolled in Brienne-le-Château, a military academy (Wikipedia) he was only nine years old at the time. A few years later, Napoleon was promoted to the Royal Military Academy in Paris (PBS). After graduating the academy, Napoleon started out as nothing but a lowly...

...which is pushed along by the character flaw of a “great” man. This idea of a “great” man or a person of high ranking being the protagonist in a tragedy is perpetuated in all of Shakespeare’s work. This leaves to speculate on the average person. The average person is not completely safe from the misery of tragedy. A supporting character is just as likely as any main character to experience tragedy. According to Arthur Miller, the “common” person is just as suitable for tragedy as any “great” person. The ideas of Aristotle and Miller contrast each other however both elements are noticeable in the play Hamlet. When a “great person” or the main character goes through a tragedy, it is rather evident. Ophelia and her father Polonius are considered “common” characters in the play that also experience great tragedy. In Miller’s essay, he outlines three main aspects that a “common” person would exhibit in a tragedy which makes their circumstances tragic. Firstly is the presence of a character that is ready to lay down their life to secure their personal sense of dignity. Next is the fear of being displaced and torn away from ones chosen image of their self. Lastly is being capable of victory. Ophelia and Polonius have chosen images of themselves and what their lives should be like and are willing to lay down their lives for their dignity but Ophelia’s circumstances are far more tragic than Polonius’ because she has no chance of victory. Ophelia lives her entire life under the control of her...

...Each person can have their own personal symbol because “every reader’s experience of every work is unique, largely because each person will emphasize various elements to differing degrees” (Foster 110). The character symbolisms of Axel Heyst and Lena are exact opposites. Lena symbolizes love through her action towards Heyst while Heyst symbolizes lack of love through his philosophies. Schomberg represents evil, though without violence, “silent but deadly,” while Mr. Jones represents the same thing, but with violence. Some object symbolism in Victory by Joseph Conrad are the late Heyst Senior’s books and portraits. When he died, his son had sent his objects to be brought to Samburan. He was surprised to see his father's portrait with an “air of youth around it,” and hung it up in his house. The portrait is symbolic because it symbolizes the hold that Heyst’s father's philosophies have on him by serving as a reminder for what is true (Conrad...

...“It is agreed, in this country, that if a man can arrange his religion so that it perfectly satisfies his conscience, it is not incumbent upon him to care whether the arrangement is satisfactory to anyone else or not.” – Mark Twain (476) Introduction Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, traveled the world and got to know imperialistic endeavors from many different nations. After he returned to America on 15 October 1900, he joined the “Anti-Imperialist League” and actively opposed policies of the United States and Great Britain (William D. Howells and Mark Twain 723). In 1905, Mark Twain composed the short story The War Prayer in an effort to open the eyes to patriotic, war-loving people. This term paper will be a close-reading on Twain’s short story The War Prayer. The focus will not be on what was said about this short story by other authors, but rather give an explanation and deeper understanding on its satirical criticism on people’s patriotism and their glorification of war. The First Paragraph “It was a time of great and exalting excitement” (Twain 652). After reading these first nine words in Mark Twain’s The War Prayer one expects the time of “great and exalting excitement” to be one of technological advances or economic strength, or at least having to do with another peaceful connotation. Twain diverts these associations with his satirical competence by writing “The country was up in arms, the war was on . . .” Therefore, a “time...

...in 1842, he served under General Winfield Scott in the Mexican War. (McPherson, 1988, p. 4) He also served with distinction early in the war by assuring that Kentucky and the region that would become West Virginia, remained out of Confederate control. (McPherson, 1988, pp. 299-301) After the Union loss at the First Battle of Bull Run, McClellan was named commander of the Army of the Potomac, and by November 1861, he was the General-in-Chief of all Federal forces. (McPherson, 1988, pp. 348-350) McClellan’s approach to waging war was one of the cautious tactician. He was quite adept at assembling forces and the supply lines necessary to sustain those forces. After being named the commander of the Army of the Potomac, McClellan set to work to prepare his troops, still stinging from defeat at Manassas, into a cohesive fighting unit, capable of taking the battle to the Confederacy. It was during this time of preparation, McClellan endeared himself...
