Get help with your assignmentIntroduction Richard M. Nixon once said, The Cold War isn’t thawing; it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn’t sleeping; it is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting. The Cold War was a period of high tensions that lasted from 1947 to 1991. The two sides of the conflict were the Soviet Union and its allies (supporters of communism) and the United States and its allies (supporters of democracy). Each side of the Cold War aimed at spreading their […]
To this day storytelling is the most important tradition humans can have. Family and friends pass down knowledge from generation to generation. Every story contains a lesson that can affect the audience differently in their own way. Stories can teach us about appreciation of other cultures, languages, and religions. They also can offer insights into values and encourage creativity. Yann Martel’s novel contains metafiction where versions of Pi’s survival compete for the reader’s belief and imagination. As the author is […]
“Emilia. But did you ever tell him she was false? / Iago. I did. / Emilia. You told a lie, an odious, damnèd lie! / Upon my soul, a lie, a wicked lie! / She false with Cassio? Did you say with Cassio? … Othello. I scarce did know you, uncle. There lies your niece, / Whose breath indeed these hands have newly stopped. / I know this act shows horrible and grim.” (5.2.214-243). Throught the play Othello, Iago has […]
Explore the relationship between fiction and metaphysics and/or ethics in D. H. Lawrence’s short story “The White Stocking” D.H. Lawrence was well known, arguably notorious, for advocating the doctrine of romantic vitalism both in his life and in his writings. Originally a scientific term, the Oxford English Dictionary defines romantic vitalism as “The doctrine or theory that the origin and phenomena of life are due to or produced by a vital principle, as distinct from a purely chemical or physical […]
Beginning to look all starry eyed at Falling in affection is the most lovely experience of life that independently lifts you to an impossible tallness of satisfaction and furthermore takes you to the profundity of agony and torment of detachment. I had encountered my first love when I was sixteen and passing on to begin to look all starry eyed at like my closest companion who was continually mooning about his adoration and doing insane things. What’s more, one day […]
Domestic Violence – Fact or Fiction Domestic violence in Australia is one of the most prominent issues of our lifetime. For a long time, women were treated as possessions by men and the law did not legally recognise occurrences such as rape of a wife by her husband. More recently though, societies beliefs and attitudes in regards to the subject of domestic violence has changed quite considerably. Previously the only avenue that existed for victims of domestic violence was through […]
Introductiion Occasionally, there is an ice age, like the last ice age we had or even the one before. Was there any release of carbon dioxide from humans? No. Ever since the industrial revolution, global temperatures have climbed, but how many people owned cars and how many manufacturing factories were there burning fossil fuels in the industrial revolution? Through natural processes, like biotic organisms respirating, volcanism, etc. greenhouse gasses are created. Gases like nitrates and carbon dioxide are naturally released. […]
Romanticism is an artistic movement that started toward the end of the 18th century and peaked in the first half of the 19th century. Romantic writers and artists glorified the past and nature. They lifted up heroes whose examples would raise the quality of other people around them. Such celebration of well-being, happiness, and a greatness beyond measure produced an opposite reaction in other writers. This movement became known as Dark Romanticism because stories focused on personal failing, crime, insanity, […]
In this paper, I will be discussing Rene Descartes Mind-Body Distinctions and its relevance to contemporary western society. In Descartes’s novel, Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy, he argues against his own methods of reasoning toward encountering difficult situations. Descartes commences his discourse with the argument that one has the ability to differentiate truth from fiction, good sense, and through the use of this ability can one improve their average mind. However, one’s capability of good sense is […]

Despite the prominent usage of artificial intelligence in widespread technologies, such as Siri and Alexa, to perform daily tasks like adding events to the calendar, sending messages, etc. not many of us can provide the exact definition of the term ‘artificial intelligence. In fact, some people might not realize they are currently using AI-powered systems, as ‘artificial intelligence’ sounds more like a myth from science-fiction movies rather than reality. As once told by McCarthy, one of the founders of the […]

After I finished reading “The Adventures of the Speckled Band,” I could not help but notice the number of similarities it had with the novel “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.” However, there were many comparisons between both novels from the style of cases, style of investigation, and format. The most apparent similarity for me was the detectives. And also side characters. The detective Hercule Poirot was almost as if he was a more refined Sherlock Holmes. He copies him in […]

I could give many writers the title of a writer of the century. It’s hard to choose one because there are many literary genres. However, in my opinion, this title should be given to Agatha Christie. This is my favorite writer, and I read all her detective stories, and earlier, I was interested in her work. Agatha Christie is the world’s best-known crime writer and the best-selling author of all time. Agatha Christie created the famous literary characters of two […]

The Victorian period is very much known for its scientific, social and pretty much economic changes. There were a lot of breakthroughs in science which are still relevant to this day, as its one aspect of it all is represented in the work The Strange Case of dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde written by Robert Louis Stevenson. This kind of novel was very much strange to be published as it can be taken to be a commentary on the awakening […]
Stevenson uses many different language techniques and devices in order to present the transformation of Mr Hyde. Stevenson uses detailed description to present Hyde for the first time to Dr Lanyon. Although Stevenson doesn’t directly state that it is Hyde, through his vivid description we are able to identify the person as Mr Hyde. Throughout the novel we begin to associate ‘small’ with Mr Hyde, whenever Mr Hyde is mentioned he is most likely described with this adjective. As we […]
“The Story of an Hour”, a short story written by Kate Chopin, is a story not only of a wife who has presumably lost her husband, but a story of irony as well. Chopin uses vivid imagery to describe moments in a way one would not expect from events in the plot. The plot itself also becomes ironic when Chopin ends her story with a twist. While one would expect “The Story of an Hour” to be a story of […]

I used to wonder why she called me Danny, she told me it was for short. I used to think to myself ‘Danny, well that takes just as long to say as my normal name.’ But nothing Laura did made a lot of sense. The little tomboy with tangled blonde hair and hand-me-down clothes from her cousins was different from other girls. All the other girls laughed at me when my bag went missing and I had to take my […]
I owned a small house on a big property on a rural party in New York. I go up there a bunch of times a year in the winter month to go skiing. There’s a neighbor up there that I’ve never spoken to once. There’s a fence that separates our two yards and on the other side of my house are woods for miles. There’s another neighbor farther down the road across the street and I’ve meet him a number […]

Well at least a fraction of it… At this small school, which was tucked into the woods, none of the students ever smiled, and on sunny days nobody ran around and played tag or football, or even talked and laughed about their favorite TV shows. No, this school was different because the […]
In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury tells a story about the utopian future where the government controls human identity. In that society there is no place for free thoughts.Those who read are outlawed and sometimes killed. On the first pages of the novel, Juan Jimenez wrote a striking quote:” If they give you ruled paper write the other way”, and that quote pretty much shows the author’s attitude toward public pressure, censorship and oppression. It unquestionably can be stated that without […]
