The Threat Of Nuclear War
.... are in place to prevent an accidental launch. It is feared
that under these circumstances it would be quite easy for a flock of geese
to set off a nuclear war. Another fear is that a smaller nation, such as
recent Korea, could gain control of, and utilize nuclear weapons, and
trigger a war between the super powers. This type is called a catalytic
nuclear war.
There are two types of control over the operation of nuclear
weapons: positive and negative. Plans implemented in order to prevent
unauthorized use of the nuclear weapons - mechanical obstacles, electronic
locks, prohibitive operational procedures - are designated as ' .....

The Triumph Of "Gorsh The Cellist"
.... that makes it almost believable
especially through the eyes of a child; and best of all: open-mindedness-
to believing in the best of all things in strangers and other creatures.
Every child, and thus, the child in us, loves to be stimulated by
the experiences of Gorsh and if one learns the lessons alongside Gorsh as
he encounters them, they can consider themselves well taught for "Gorsh the
Cellist" is remarkably didactic without being presumptuous- this is Kenji's
triumph. The simple lessons of morality are easy to spot and easy to
understand. We see, in the scene with the mice, Gorsh invites strangers
who knock at his .....

The Ugly Tie
.... nor a
fashion statement. Because some individuals cannot tell the difference
between "slick" and "sanguine," they wear appalling combinations of
clothing like tuxedo coats and surfer shorts. Unless a person was in
desperation to wear such a conglomerate garb, he would only humor others.

The Untold Story Of Theseus
.... have passed. Over this time I was taught their
language and concepts. I found that they call themselves Americans, more
specifically "Michiganders". I have always been quick to learn and they
labeled me as an adequate student. Me. Theseus. Son of Poseidon. Labeled
as adequate? Sheeeshh. Anyway, I was told that tomorrow I would be going
to a "High School", specificly, Nth grade."
High School
"High school was all fun and games until 6th hour. This class,
called EXPLORE or some other silly word like that, was tought by an English
teacher called by Mrs. Grumpp. Mrs. Grumpp had the honor of being named .....

The Use Of Symbolism In "A Jury Of Her Peers"
.... "I know what stillness is. The law has got
to punish Crime, Mrs. Hale"(glaspell 167). The difference is she is
talking about the crime committed against Minnie, not the murder of John by
Minnie.
The Rocking chair is another important symbol in the story. The
chair symbolizes the absent Minnie Wright. The rocking chair "was dingy,
with wooden rungs up the back, and the middle rung was gone, and the chair
sagged to one side"(glaspell 157), which was not anything like Mrs.Hale
used to remember it being. Mrs. Hale also speaks of Minnie Foster, Foster
being her maiden name, "I wish you'd seen Minnie Foster when she wore a
white d .....

Three Things Worth Fighting For
.... I was falsely accused. Therefore
that is why this is the third most important thing I would fight for.
In conclusion to what I have said I feel it is wrong to take
someone's life away, harm there family, or take there freedom away. These
are all very important things in any life to fight for. They should be
important to others to. In conclusion my life, my family, and my freedom
are the most important things in my life.

Tools Used In The Writing Of Short Stories
.... the symbolic cage
opened, and he was set loose. The use of Man-versus-Society conflict is
also evident in the fact that Prosser lashed out against the whole society
and not at one part in particular.
In the story "Paul's Case," Willa Cather tries to show that not
sharing ones personal feelings can be destructive to a persons subconscious,
and cause him/her to do things to get away from their feelings. The use of
Man-versus-society conflict is evident in that Paul is always getting in
trouble for what he does. No one understands why he does the things that
he does, so he suffers suspension from the school, or other forms of .....

Transcendentalism
.... Typing also
prevents us from adding the personal touch to short letters. The
handwritten letter is much more personal and shows your respect for the
person receiving the letter. While the computer can be a nuisance, the
television also has its share of frustrations. Suppose you just got
comfortable on the couch, and you change the want to change the channel
with the remote. Now, one of two things can happen; it works or it doesn't.
If it does not work, you will have to get up every time you want to change
th e channel or adjust the volume. Not only does the television have the
risk of breaking, it also control over people. .....

Transcendentalism: Aphorism
.... Man will always have greed,
it is in human nature...man will always be selfish. These traits can never
be extinguished, but at least they can be limited to only certain uses, and
maybe man can be accustomed to use these traits the correct way. All over
the world this aphorism represents society, and always will. Even in our
school I believe this is a valid point by Emerson. One should never have
power anywhere close to God but God himself. If they did...who knows how
society would be, or if it would be.
This power does not only pertain to just mental power and ways of
doing things, but also some specific problems in to .....

Expectations Of Authority Figures In "Two Kinds" And "Girl"
.... piano-playing skills like no other. In "Girl", the expectations are
much lower, but just as stringent. The girl is expected to do a myriad of
chores and to become a "lady". She is advised on how she should act and
how she can avoid being a "slut".
In "Two Kinds", the mother has high hopes; she believes a person
can be anything they want in America and she wants a daughter who excels
in some area. All of the mother's hopes lay on the daughter. Her hopes
are bolstered by stories about remarkable children with incredible talents.
If they can succeed are such a young age, surely her child can as well.
The mother wants .....

Victorian Literature
.... argued for the re-creation in industrial England of the lost
sense of community between social classes. In contrast, John Stuart MILL
in ON LIBERTY spoke for the fullest development of the individual through
freedom from social restraint. The foremost art critic of the time, John
RUSKIN, articulated the assumptions of many contemporary critics by showing
in The Stones of Venice (1851-53) the interdependence of great art and a
society's moral health.
The major early Victorian poets, too, took the role of secular
prophets, often expressing a longing for the free play of imaginative life.
For Alfred, Lord TENNYSON, the .....

How Literature Was Affected In The Victorian Age
.... free books to children and she built schools for the lower classes.
Also the Queen invited prominent Victorian age writers such as Alfred,
Lord Tennyson and Charles Dickens to read privately to her in Buckingham
Palace(Packard 59).
The Victorian Age was also an era of several unsettling social
developments. This forced writers to take positions on immediate issues
animating the rest of society(Brown 23). Hence, romantic forms of
expression in poetry and prose continued to dominate English literature
throughout much of the century. The attention of many writers was directed
to the growth of the English democracy, educa .....
