.... could be perceiving blue. Russell says that it could be a different self for every new sequence of data. Sense data to Russell are things like greenness or smoothness or cold. Descartes says that it's not the self that changing. It's only the perceptions in the conscience. I sway towards Descartes on this issue. I don't see the logic in the self changing for every new sense of data. If this was true , wouldn't every other object we looked at be new to us? Descartes argument for existing is much more believable, for the simple fact that if we think anything we must exist. I think are minds do have stability. Memory is a proof of the stability .....

.... third, and fifth stanzas, the last lines match each other; in the second and fourth stanzas, the final lines match. The final stanza combines the last lines from the odd and even-numbered stanzas for an additional line. This portrays the ongoing war between life and death. The old man went back and forth between life and death as the stanzas’ last lines switched back and forth. In the end, the two last lines join together as the old man and his son accept that death is a part of life. Next, the references to “good men,” “wild men,” and “grave men” display the three basic stages of life: birth, life, a .....

.... plead for him to help the Trojans so “that Atreus’ son wide-ruling Agamemnon may recognize his madness, that he did no honor to the best of the Achaians� (I, 411-412) Achilleus puts himself above the rest of the Achaians, but does not act accordingly to the position he claims for himself. He forgets that as leader, the consequences of his actions, also affects those whom he holds in his charge, and close to his heart. Furthermore, instead of assuming full responsibility for his situation, Achilleus places part of the load on his mother Thetis, as well as Zeus. In drawing gods into the conflict, Achilleus further complicates the matter. Withou .....

.... but his feeling of guilt quickly manifests itself as irritation (para. 9). The cat's fear of the man is a constant reminder of the horrible deed that he has performed, and he begins to project his hatred of self onto his disfigured cat. As his notions of remorse further deteriorate his unsound mind, he destroys the object and source of his offense. With guilt eating away at his conscious, the man's sanity falls further into degradation, and he unleashes his cruelty on an innocent victim. The narrator describes the force of destruction that drives him as "the spirit of Perverseness", and this impulse causes him to remorsefully hang the cat beca .....

.... is risking her life to do so. King Creon's decision not to properly bury Polyneices is because he feels he is a traitor to Thebes. This is due to the fact that he broke out of exile and attacked his own city with an army form outside of Thebes. King Creon says he is a coward to his city, not a hero, and therfore does not deserve to be buried with honor like his brother. He forbids the people of Thebes to touch him, to say a prayer for him, or to bury him, Anyone who goes against his commands will ultimately be put to death. Creon is speaking for the best interst of the state, not in terms of family. He feels that he has to set an example for h .....

.... leave the law to take care of itself." (68). The fact is, that the blackened hearts of the aristocracy saw capital punishment as a convenience, rather than justice. The guillotine "cleared off (as to this world) the trouble of each particular case, and left nothing else with it to be looked after" (62). This negative light that the ruthless use of capital punishment casts upon the rulers of France is exactly what Dickens had intended. When the revolution actually takes place, the Jacques become drunk with bloodlust. Their methods of restoring order and peace are exactly the same as those they opposed: send anyone to the guillotine who .....

.... and supports. By the time Othello was written the English were becoming more and more aware of the existence of other races in the world besides themselves. There had been a lot of travelling and blacks were beginning to be used in Europe for the slave trade. During the time the play was written, the Queen of England had banned all blacks from entering the city. She spoke of them as "Negars and Moors which are crept into the realm, of which kind of people there are already here too many". It seems that Shakespeare is almost mocking the Queen by characterising Othello as a black man who has a high ranking position in the Army and who marrie .....

.... by coming forward. "Would you grant me the grace,' said Gawain to the King, 'To be gone from this bench and stand by you there." (Gawain, lines 343-344) "I am the weakest, well I know, and of wit feeblest; And the loss of my life would be least of any;" (Gawain, 355-356). The poem is full of instances in which Gawain was forced to face difficult decisions. Gawain could have simply left Camelot never to return. He instead chose the option of keeping his word and searching for the Green Knight, even though he knew he had to take what was coming to him. "Now, liege lord of my life, my leave I take; / The terms of this task too well you know .....

.... the story cleverly. The house supports Dr. Jekyll’s secret of being Mr. Hyde at times. The house symbolizes the double personality of its owner. Therefore Dr. Jekyll and his house have parallel characteristics. We are introduced to the back door right at the beginning of the book. The door is said to be – “ equipped with neither bell or knocker, was blistered and distained.” Along with the introduction of the door is the introduction of Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde’s appearance is described as “something displeasing, something downright detestable.” So right from the beginning, we are aware of Mr. Hyde’s connect .....

.... the beginning hockey did not have all the individually talented players of today, it was all about the team. The 1932 Detroit Falcons, which would soon be, renamed the Red Wings were a prime example of a 1920-1950s-hockey team. Not one player on the team tried to put their own individual statistics before the team, no matter how good they were. With this intense team playing style they won the Stanley cup the following season. The next and final chapter in section 1 was Behind the Bench. The most substantial role is not being played on the ice, but behind the bench by the coaches. The coaches in any sport set the tone and mood of their team. D .....
