Animal Farm: Power's Corruption
Words: 561 / Pages: 3

.... and made the other animals work harder and longer with fewer rations than before. It's easy to see how power can effortlessly influence the greed factor. Discrimination is another outcome of abused power. People of high power often tend to look down their noses at the ones who work for them or do not obtain the same amount of power as them.

They show this by establishing the rule that if a pig and another animal meet on a path, the other animal is to move aside and let the pig pass. 'About this time, too, it was .....


Edgar Allan Poe And The Raven
Words: 2113 / Pages: 8

.... ways his fame has been honored . To begin with, “The Raven” holds a dark sense of elegance which has been appealing to many since it was written in 1845. The theme of “The Raven” is simple: a man suffering the loss of his love is visited by a speaking raven, whose repetitious, meaningless answers torture him to the point of insanity (see Appendix R) (Decoder, Internet). The feeling of lost love portrayed in the poem might have reflected the death of Poe’s wife, Virginia, in 1847 (Qrisse, Internet). As it is read, a definite rhyme scheme is present: internal rhyme in the first and third line, and end rhy .....


Chaplin's, The Kid
Words: 905 / Pages: 4

.... appears. With fastidiously impeccable manners, he slips off his walking gloves before selecting a cigarette butt from his smoking case, an old sardine can. Pausing to note the worn condition of those shabby fingerless gloves, he tosses them away with the cavalier panache of a gentleman of leisure with a dozen other pairs of handwear at his immediate disposal. Just as he is about to surrender himself to the joys of his first smoke of the day, his tranquillity is shattered by earsplitting distress signals from the squalling infant who has been abandoned on the garbage heap, plaintively demanding to be heard by someone, anyone. Taking one glance at th .....

Words: 1303 / Pages: 5

.... cleverly disguised in the subtext of his encounters with other nations that either contrasted the way they lived, or mirrored unflatteringly his contemporaries lifestyles.

When he first arrived in their land, the Lilliputians opted to tie him up, giving him no freedom, which he luckily did not object to. Then, once they had developed a somewhat symbiotic realationship with him, Gulliver .....

.... referred to the sea as a female, like a mother. "He always thought of the sea as la mar which is what people call her in Spanish when they love her."

Blood Justice
Words: 1065 / Pages: 4

.... asked Judge Sebe Dale’s to drop the case because a black man was not on the grand jury. Brown did this because of a recent ruling made by the 5th U.S. circuit court of Appeals. The ruling stated that it was unconstitutional for a jury of an all white people to convict a black man.

Davis got into Reyer’s Oldsmobile and they took off on a .....
