Beowulf And Jesus: Sacrifice And Inspiration
.... the way. However, He overcame these attacks by people and reached Jerusalem where his real struggle, the fight for Christianity and for life, would take place. He performed miracles and had many superhuman-like qualities. He once brought a dead girl back to life. Many people told the girl’s father that she was dead, but Jesus said "don’t be afraid, just believe"(Mark 5:36). His superhuman powers were amazing.

How Much Land Does A Man Really Need?
.... to move up and become wealthier, but at the corresponding time he is forgetting some of the things that were important to him before he acquired his new property. In a way, the setting causes Pahom to become greedy and selfish because of his desire to have more.
The main need, or actually a desire, that Pahom has is his need for land and money. It seems that he can never have enough to satisfy himself fully. For example, he was living near the Volga with a generous amount of land. Most people would have been very content with his belongings, but Pahom is motivated to go after more property. He couldn’t even envision his .....

"Red Convertible" And "Red Dress": Changes In Personalities
.... War and his enemies catch him. Later on, the war is solved by the government's mind. When he goes back his home, he is totally different from before.
When he came home, though, Henry was very different, and I'll say this: the change was no good. You should hardly expect him to change for the better, I know. But he was quiet, so quiet, and never comfortable sitting still anywhere but always up and moving around. (P.86)
And Henry becomes jumpy and mean. "¡K and now you couldn't get him to laugh, or when he did it was more the sound of a man choking, a sound that stopped up the throats of other people around him. ¡K It was a f .....

Faust And Victor Frankenstein: Unconcerned With Reality
.... exploits others in the pursuit of Faust's earthly desires. As Faust strives to become the "over man" through knowledge, he realizes that books will not satisfy his needs and perhaps sensual pleasures will:
I also have neither money nor treasures, nor worldly
honors or earthly pleasures; no dog would want to live
this way! (p. 95)
The moment Faust sees Gretchen he falls hopelessly in love with her:
By heaven, she's beautiful, this child! I have never seen
her parallel. (p.73).
The feeling of passion, however, is not mutual, and Faust realizes that his simple looks and personality will not attract Gretchen; ra .....

“A Christmas Memory”: Truman Capote
.... Capote is forced to move out of his house and to leave his innocence behind.
The story is not purely self-serving because Capote uses this piece not only to revisit his memories of happier times, but to also evoke the memories of the readers. The theme of a loss of childhood innocence is one that many people can relate to, as well. However, Capote composed this piece using the observant eye of a youth juxtaposed against wisdom only gained with age.
An uncommon usage of colons is employed throughout his work to present different areas of text. Although mostly used for introducing lists or great excerpts of quotes, Capote use .....

Mr. Hooper feels that his secret sin is a very evil thing and he doesn't want anyone else to know about it.

When Odysseus hears of all the suitors devouring Telemachos's future fortune and mistreating him, he wants to return and revenge the misuse of his family and property. Odysseus, like any parent, also misses his only child while he is at war. Telemachos on the contrary also displays a lot of love for his father.

“A Worn Path”: Phoenix
.... was just her own hand in the air.”(117) Imagining Phoenix condition, she can only wish and stay strong enough to keep walking. She didn’t stop there. Phoenix knew she needed to find a safe place, so she would not face harm. Even though she was hungry.

They have been the ones to learn and adapt to the ways of the oppressor, and sometimes even are the teachers. “It is the responsibility of the oppressed to teach the oppressors their mistakes” (103). The oppressed are sometimes “called upon” to tell them of their mistakes. Our energy is wasted in telling them of their mistakes when it could be focused on ourselves and changing what is wrong.
So far in history we have been taught to deal with the differences among .....

An Analysis Of The Philosophy Of Science
.... because having scientific knowledge is being in this condition, and those who think they have this knowledge are not, but those who do really are. Which follows that anything of scientific knowledge cannot be otherwise. Nous (starting -points which are themselves knowable) grasps indemontratible starting points. Therefore, if scientific knowledge is what we say it is then demonstrative knowledge depends on premises of truth, which are primitive and immediate. The conclusion must give the true reasons of facts mentioned. Aristotle example of this is the nearness of the planets and why they do not twinkle. He argues that t .....
