.... innate schema in the mind. Those that belonged to the empiricist school of thought developed quite separate and distinct ideas concerning the nature of the substratum of sensible objects. John Locke and David Hume upheld the belief that sensible things were composed of material substance, the basic framework for the materialist position. The main figure who believed that material substance did not exist is George Berkeley. In truth, it is the immaterialist position that seems the most logical when placed under close scrutiny. The initial groundwork for Berkeley's position is the truism that the materialist is a skeptic. In the writing of .....

.... becomes his passion and he later travels around the world in search of information about several living saints. During his search for saints, Dunstan coincidentally comes across Le grande Cirque forain de St. Vile and Illusions, a circus where Paul Dempster preformed magic.

.... Pinkie wants, and this brings Pinkie to a life of crime and constant mortal sin. Pinkie has in my opinion been misguided by Mr. Colleoni's empire, and that is why he is just an evil boy who thinks that having a lifestyle like Mr. Colleoni will bring him happiness. Pinkie is also blind to the happiness that the descent people like Rose and Ida have because of his misguided life. Pinkie's evil desire is what causes him to do whatever it takes to get this life style. As shown by his uncontrolled killing of people such as Hale, and Spicer. Ida Arnold, a person who thinks of herself as an avenger as well as a rescuer for the people affected by Pinkie's .....

.... 2. When the individual, through his or her concience, sees a wrong, he or she should not repeat it and should "wash his or her hands of it." 3. The individual should stand against the State or government when he or she knows something to be morally unjust. A key point to understand is that morality is derived from the source of where we get our rights: God. The Trancendentalists believed that you could be one with God by tapping into nature and its oversoul (which ran through all of life and we could learn from it to better ourselves). While our government has committed wrongs in the past, it is the individuals job to correct those wrong .....

.... is proclaiming all everyone holds the laws of the Gods higher than the laws of the State, unless the State is the more immediate threat. But this all raises another question, does the law of the Gods really matter? Will the Gods truly beseech you and seek to bring you harm for not following in their ways? One who is not so religious would say no, it is not the Gods who hold the sword at your throat but a man, who at that moment cares nothing for the Gods. But in the case of Antigone, the Gods do act out their revenge. Tireseas spake: “I tell you Creon, you yourself have brought this new calamity upon us. Our hearths and altars are stained .....

.... such as the “Lord of the Mighty Danes,� “guardian of the Scyldings,� and “protector of warriors.� Much of these people's respect come in response to Hrothgar's generosity to everyone. This generosity can be seen towards Beowulf, when the king gives his thanks for the heroic deeds of the warrior. Hrothgar rewards Beowulf with priceless material as he says to the warrior, “You shall lack no earthly riches I can offer you.� The people of the land also trust their king, who holds a strong belief in God. In the scene where Hrothgar celebrates Grendel's death, he holds the monsters hand as he says, “Let us give thanks at once to God A .....

.... to tempta-tion. The sword appearing in front of Macbeth's eyes during [II.i.37] gives both fear and pity for Macbeth. The death of Banquo, which was ordered by Macbeth, gives the audience fear for the extreme lengths Mac-beth will go to. Then only a scene later the audience witnesses a paranoid Macbeth visualises the ‘ghost’ of Banquo. The audience felt sorrow and pity for Macbeth, after the announcement that his wife had died. Finally in the death of Macbeth at the finalé of the play, the audience has a final ounce of pity to give to Macbeth. Macbeth and Banquo were on return from their great victory, when stopped by three witches [I. .....

.... him from sea monsters that threatened the two. The courage Beowulf demonstrates is another remarkable trait. He fought against overwhelming odds in a manner consistent with the highest traditions of the typical "warrior-hero." For example, when Grendel attacks that fateful night that Beowulf and his men are at Herot, Beowulf does not attack Grendel with a sword or any other weapon, but with his bare hands, the same as Grendel. He then wrestles with Grendel without the aide of any of his men, one on one with the monster, and tears off one of Grendel's arms. This certainly demonstrates great courage on the part of Beowulf. Beowulf also demonstrate .....

.... or large degree. It was always present in some part of their lives. Young people enjoyed writing poems of love and joy. They appreciated poetry. Today we claim not to have time on our hands. We are constantly on the run trying to keep up with the fast paced world. How the young generations view poetry is that it is a waste of their time. Because of the new revolution of poetry, the types written these days are of destruction, hate, ugliness, and depression. These cliches of modern poetry repel youths from poetry because they do not want to be constantly reminded of the negative aspects of life. Poetry is fortunately taught in English class .....
