... and he helps her. She
wishes to seek the one who terminated her existence. The place that she
goes is to earth, yet it is different than the earth mortals know so
different that it is indescribable, by all except the writer, who
definitely knows how to write. If I gave away the ending it would be
devastating to those who have not read it. Even when I have told a short
summery of the story, for those who have not read it would be missing a
great book if they neglected to get a hold of it and read it. It is very
deeply moving, especially if it has been read more than once. ...

Number of Words: 2571 / Number of Pages: 10
... Although the tape carries a copyright to
protect it from unlawful duplication for sale by other companies, in this
case, I invite individuals to make copies and give them to friends or
anyone in a position to communicate this information.
Although I've been interviewed about the subject on many local and
regional radio and TV talk shows, large-scale mass communication appears to
be blocked, since it could result in suspicion or investigation of the very
media presenting it or the sponsors that support the media. Some government
agencies do not want this information generally known. Nor do th ...

Number of Words: 1532 / Number of Pages: 6

(Hawthorne 206) Hester Prynne's connection with the minister is bes ...

Number of Words: 1249 / Number of Pages: 5
... section, Ballen compares developments in Britain and in the United States, for the case against racism developed quite differently in the two scientific communities. On both sides of the Atlantic, physical anthropology and racial taxonomy lost ground to the new social and cultural anthropology. This shift away from biological determinism was significant, but Ballen too readily equates environmentalism and cultural relativism with a defense of racial equality. (p. 34) In the British case, as Henrika Kuklik has recently demonstrated, social anthropology suited a conservative colonial policy of indirect ...

... is obviously ridiculing optimistic philosophy, especially that of Leibnitz for whom Pangloss was a follower.
It seems as though Voltaire is condemming metaphysics and theology in general. "Pangloss was a professor of metaphysico-theologico-cosmolo-nigology (1). The name alone seems to poke fun at the entire branch of learning. A most appropriate example of this can be made of James, a man who takes in the starving Pangloss and Candide most generously. As the men are on a trip, he is thrown over the side of the ship off the Cape of Lisbon. Candide is about to save him but is stopped by Pang ...

... me be no assistant for a state,
But keep a farm and carters
And in Act II, scene 1, Ophelia tells Polonius how Hamlet has scared her, making Polonius believe that Hamlet has gone insane. Thus the death of Ophelia is a tragedy because she did nothing deserving of her horrible death, besides allowing herself to be used by others.
One of the most important elements of tragedy, according to Gage Canadian Dictionary, is a number of opportunities a character has to escape his or her fate. The sad part is that in the tragedy, hero’s death could be easily avoided by making the right choices, it ...
