... to have respect for those who had died for Athens, but also to encourage them to want to fight for their country. As in paragraph two he says, "But what lay behind those outward deeds, what really made us great-our training, our frame of government, our natural bent-I shall expound, primarily in praise of these men, but also as a fitting thing to be said on this occasion and proper for this audience to hear, the outsiders in it as well as the citizens." The main point of this is he wanted Athenians not to be fearful of dying for their country because you would be recognized as a hero.
As he says in ...

English Macbeth
Number of Words: 635 / Number of Pages: 3
... a very early stage even when Macbeth is unsure of what he is to do
‘When Duncan is asleep… his spongy officers, who shall bear the guilt of our great quell?
Overall Lady Macbeths ambition, confidence and naivete is perhaps the major factor in pushing Macbeth into the murder of Duncan. She does not think of the consequences of the murder so she is 100% behind Macbeth killing Macbeth, which makes it difficult for Macbeth to go against her.
Another factor is Banquo. The fact that Banquo knows of what the ‘imperfect speakers’ said is a major factor pushing Macbeth away f ...

Anselm's Definition Of God
Number of Words: 1572 / Number of Pages: 6
... means that God cannot stop existing. On the other hand, contingent
beings (such as ourselves) depend on something else for their existence.
One example of this is, that as a child we utterly depended on our parents
for food, clothing, and shelter. Contingent beings therefore can begin to
be or cease to be at anytime. They can, unlike God, be here today and gone
tomorrow.
Anselm uses the definition of God (the ontological argument), in which I
have described above, to prove God's existence. As I mentioned, Anselm
believes that God is the greatest being we can possibly think of. He does
this by ...

Number of Words: 528 / Number of Pages: 2
... But when he planned to kill Banquo and Macduff's family, he didn't
hesitated and killed them without regret. Lastly, they were both
superstitious. Jack was superstitious, he worshipped the Lord of the Flies
and held a ritual dance around the camp fire after sacrificing the pig. For
Macbeth, he believed in the fortune telling of the three witches. (Quote:
All hail Macbeth, hail to thee, Thane of Glamis. All hail Macbeth, hail to
thee, Thane of Cawdor. All hail Macbeth, that should become king here
after.)
There are five differences between Jack and Macbeth. Firstly, their
ages were d ...

Prime Of Miss Jean Broadie
Number of Words: 927 / Number of Pages: 4
... fact that Miss Broadie knew that her parents would not have any problems. Miss Broadie never seemed to have an underlying scheme planed out for her, as she did with some of the other girls. Eunice was quite the same, seeming to have no purpose to the group, and the other girls wondered for some time why Miss Broadie had chosen her. Miss Broadie’s interest in her, it was found out, was that Eunice was a wonderful gymnast, and would entertain Miss Broadie with her performances shown before her class. Jenny, with her golden curls, was the prettiest of the bunch. She had a beautiful voice and later a des ...

Mary Astell's From A Serious Proposal To The Ladies
Number of Words: 269 / Number of Pages: 1
... of man, which kept her and her sisters from developing their minds. She
felt that females back then should have the same rights as women have achieved
through the Civil Rights Movement today. Her answer to this was "A Religious
Retirement." It is Mary Astell's ideal place to end her intellectual suffering
and open new doors for the female mind. I feel that Mary went a little to far

and find alternates to marriage for women, which, I guess, would be the same as
living in a convent. Mary was a feminist which I fee ...

... of scenes
involving Jim to show some of his notable traits. The first passage I'll
use is in chapter 11. This is the chapter where Huck finds out that some
people are going to see if there is anyone on Jackson Island, where Huck
and Jim currently are. After Huck tells Jim that men are coming, Huck
says this about Jim's reaction: "Jim never asked no questions, he never
said a word; but the way he worked for the next half an hour showed about
how he was scared." This confirms something obvious—that Jim values his
freedom greatly. Once he has experienced a kind of freedom, he understands
all the bett ...
