In Jonathan Swift’s Essay, “A
Words: 1386 / Pages: 6 .... going in Ireland; this brings the reader to see that instead of keeping the children their parents should either eat them or sell them on an open market. By wasting the scarce food in Ireland, the people are killing themselves; thus the children can be consumed saving food and at the same time making food. It is interesting to see how well Swift conveys his view towards the poor in this odd manor. Swift sees how the poor are treated by the affluent who may think that the impoverished are the reason for Ireland’s food problems. In fact, the entire essay is nothing more than sarcastic piece that deeply imbeds the blame upon the rich who he feels might .....

An Example Of Good Writing: Zinsser's "Simplicity"
Words: 460 / Pages: 2 .... he uses the
example of the president of a major university writing a very unclear letter to
state a problem the school was experiencing. Zinsser translates the letter to
read the actual message that everyone can understand.
The way Zinsser writes the essay it is easy to understand. He uses

loose interest. There are too many other options presented to people today that
already stray them away from reading.

Personal Identity
Words: 559 / Pages: 3 .... in day to day life, that of the
body and of soul/memory.
As stated beforehand, memory and the soul bare many of the same qualities.
The body and soul, however, also share this trait. Perry illustrates in his

etc.). Perry also comes back to challenge this using the analogy of a river.
If one goes to a river, and then the next day goes back to the same river, the
person will not say that it is a different river, alth .....

She could not at that moment have done other than denied and resisted (P.31)." Her insistent attitude also made her self-righteous and neglectful of other persons.
In other ways, Mrs. Pontellier’s morality led to a dreadful deceit of her own children. Her self-righteous mindset was damaging to her children’s vitality. The ways that she treated the .....

Words: 239 / Pages: 1 .... and private place. When Hagar is in the hospital, the nurse gives her a few pills and says, “Here have some water.” (256, The Stone Angel) Water is used as an aid all the time, to help digest certain things.

An Analysis Of Orwell's "Shooting An Elephant"
Words: 763 / Pages: 3 .... crowd - seemingly the leading actor of the piece; but in reality I was

in front of the Burmese. He declares, “Every white man's life in the East, was
one long struggle not .....
