Witches, Werewolves, And Vampires
.... people have come to fear and believe other fictional stories about werewolves.
Vampires are living people who have powers to change into a non-corporal spirit. They sleep in the day and they begin their killings after dark. They take other peoples lives by sucking their blood from their neck, and this turns a human into a vampire. For amusement they haunt graveyards in the mist of the dark. Vampires perform evil on others, but in return they gain nothing but blood, so evil provides you with nothing, but turning you into a harmful person.
In conclusion evil has come about from many mythological stories in the world. As child .....

Hardin's "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against The Poor" - No! You Cannot Come In
.... is going to put me in risk.
Instead of giving the money to non Americans it should be used only in America.
The money used to help the poorer countries can be very useful in the United
States. The middle class people in America get no help. More of that money can
go toward the middle class families. The middle class families work had for
their money. The government helps poor families with food, housing, education
and many more things. The rich have more money than they need, but the middle
class is left struggling. The middle class people cannot move up. The middle
class cannot get ant help from the government. It makes me mad t .....

Alexander Pope's Literary Works
.... has written an eighteenth-century poem which he calls, "An Hero-
Comical Poem." This poem has exalted an over all sense of worthlessness for
common rules. The mentioning of Achilles and the ever-popular Aeneas, are
symbols of Pope's Gothic style. Pope speaks (almost) G-D like throughout, "The
Rape of Lock." Contrary to Keats, who is more down-to-earth with his sense of
realism in his writings. In the beginning of Keats romantic premise to life in
St. Agnes, all is cold. The opening sequence brings a sense of realism to this
bitter cold scene. Cold owls, rabbit's, and numb fingers on a holy, "Beads
man." The Beads man .....

A Haunted House: Treasures Of Life
.... phrase to mean the exact
opposite of its literal or normal meaning. The irony is that the story is
titled "A Haunted House" which made us think that the house was an evil place.
The house ends up being where every thing good happens. The ghosts did not
haunt the people , instead they make them realize the treasure they have. By
seeing how much the ghosts valued finding their treasure it makes the people
take a harder look at what their treasure is, the love and joy they share. It
is very evident when she says " Now they found it, one would be certain,
stopping the pencil on the margin. And then, tired of reading, one might ri .....

A Murderer's Journey Through The Works Of Dostoyevsky And Poe
.... envelope, over the small,
slanting handwriting, so familiar and dear to him, of his mother who had once
taught him to read and write. (Crime and Punishment, pg.47)
Raskolnikov's mother, who taught him how to read and write did this job quite
well. This resulted in a very gifted and brilliant university student. This
point is illustrated throughout the novel from the planning and carrying out of
the murder, to interactions with the police.
The narrator from the short story "The Black Cat" describes his
"tenderness of heart was even so conspicuous as to make me the jest of his
companions." ("The Black Cat", pg.390) He is quit .....

Do You Have What It Takes? A Breakdown Of The Educated Person
.... scientist is emotionally removed from the experiments performed,
the question, "Should I?", is never asked. For instance under the reign of
Hitler many cruel medical experiments were preformed. In The Medical
Experiments by William Shirer the author states,"Prisoners were placed in high
pressure chambers and subjected to high-altitude tests until they ceased
breathing. They were injected with lethal doses of typhus and jaundice. They
were subjected to 'freezing' experiments in icy water or exposed naked in the
snow outdoors until they froze to death." This also deals with the subject of
values and will be discussed detail later .....

General Prologue: Human Dishonesty, Stupidity And Virtue
.... included making money from people's suffering and
giving to charity because someone told them to do so, rather than from the
goodness of their hearts or to ease the suffering of others. Chaucer plays off
both of these parts of charity in his portraits to show how they can be combined
differently in different people and to distinguish "true" charity from "false"
charity.
Parson exemplifies Chaucer's idea of true charity. Even though Parson
does not have any money, he considers himself rich spiritually. Going around
the village, he teaches the poor and those who can't go to church about what G-d
is and how to be a religiou .....

Descartes Vs. Pascal
.... that is not
logically possible to be false.
We must doubt, as that is the only way to find certain truth. It is the
only way to wipe the slate clean of all of the uncertain assumptions which are
believed and taught in the universities today. Just as mathematics will lead to
uncertain assumptions if it is not built on certain truths, so will all use of
reason lead to uncertain assumptions if it is not built on certain truths.
There is a way to use doubt, though, to find certainty. If 100% certainty
equals 0% doubt and we are certain that we can doubt everything, then we can use
doubt as our certainty. We cannot doubt tha .....

Santa Claus
.... play
an important role in the scheme of things. Without the famous Dasher, Dancer,
Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen or Rudolph, Santa would not have
any transportation. They fly faster than a speeding bullet, yet never seem to
miss a single home. Together, Santa, the elves, and the reindeer work to make
the Miracles of Christmas happen.
St. Nick not only showers children with gifts, he also instills in them
that giving is far more important than receiving. By setting this example, the
feeling of Christmas becomes alive within each and every one of our hearts.
Therefore, we are able to look at Christmas, through .....

Griffin's Egg: Gunther
.... following him. He ran into the shelter and closed the door, sealing the
robot outside of the shelter. The shelter was s small room, just big enough to
fit a cot, a chemical toilet, and a rebreather with spare oxygen tanks.
A while later, after the flare was over, the CMP chips, which has been
implanted in everyone's brain that had come to the moon, was being used against
them. Krishna, a scientist, found that if he broadcasted over the chips
frequency, he could make hypnotic suggestions to the people with the chips.
Gunther had to find a way to stop this, so he and another scientist, Hiro,
teamed up and after a while of resear .....

Language Is A Virus
.... period in which it is written.
Unless it is a historical tale, the subjects, characters and events described,
would be of a temporary nature or have a temporary outlook and appeal. Many
writings are of a controversial nature and as such they appeal to some but can
meet with a violent disapproval by others. Salman Rashdie has been lucky to
survive the violent anger of the Muslim world. But at the same time he became
popular with many segments of the population, not necessarily due to the
greatness of his writing, but primarily because of the controversial subject he
touches upon, the fact that he criticizes his own and that his .....

Poe's Man In The Crowd: Types Of People Based On Appearance
.... the man of the
crowd through his unseemingly unidentifiable expression The narrator describes
his thoughts of this man as:
There arose confusedly and paradoxically within my mind, the ideas of vast
mental power, of caution, of penuriousness, of avarice, of coolness, of malice,
of blood-thirtstiness, of triumph, of merriment, of excessive terror, of intense
- of supreme despair. I felt singularly aroused, startled, fascinated. “How
wild a history,” I said to myself, “is written within that bosom!”
Although the narrator had never spoken to this man of the crowd, he was
compelled to follow him based on his expression that h .....
