... One newspaper article quoted a political scientist as saying, 'To apologize for substantive things you've done raises the white flag.'" (107-108). This political scientist obviously took this statement of regret out of context. Previously stated was a comment about "raising the white flag" which symbolizes retreat, defeat, and weakness. "I think those brave enough to admit fault would find a... power at home: It's amazing how an apology, if it seems sincere, can dissipate another's anger.... Erich Segal got it exactly wrong. Love doesn't mean never having to say you're sorry. Love means being able to say ...

... of irony. The story itself is ironic since no one can take Swifts proposal seriously. This irony is clearly demonstrated at the end of the story; Swift makes it clear that this proposal would not affect him since his children were grown and his wife unable to have any more children. It would be rather absurd to think that a rational man would want to both propose this and partake in the eating of another human being. Therefore, before an analyzation can continue, one has to make the assumption that this is strictly a fictional work and Swift had no intention of pursuing his proposal any further. One of the other vo ...

... "He was being looked at by a dead man who was seated with his back against a column-like tree."(46) The stark irony of a rotten corpse in a backdrop such as the isolated chapel deep in the forest works well with its explicit detail and the realization it brings to Henry about just how real the war is. This also brings about a great feeling of loneliness, which is one of the many stages that Henry goes through during the story. Henry feels isolated by his cowardly actions. Trying to justify his act of running, he compares himself to a squirrel that ran from an acorn that he had just thrown. By saying tha ...

... this is not a positive characterization. Trunion and Willard proceed to make love with each other yet despite this intimacy Willard has in his heart " no sympathy for her". The fact that Trunion is viewed scandalously by the town and Willard while Trunion's partners were not shamed at all shows a view by Anderson and society at the time he wrote that female promiscuity was unaccceptable, but for males the view was just “boys will be boys”. In truth, this double standard is still present today. Louise Hardy is a second example of Anderson's showing a negative portrayal of women. Her temper was s ...

... King’s life. In the autobiographical work Danse Macabre, Stephen King recalls how his family life was altered: “After my father took off, my mother, struggled, and then landed on her feet.” My brother and I didn’t see a great deal of her over the next nine years. She worked a succession of continuous low paying jobs.” Stephen’s first outlooks on life were influenced by his older brother, and what he figured out on his own. When he was seven years old, they moved to Stratford, Connecticut. Here is where King got his first exposure to horror. One evening he listened to the radio a ...

... is. In the first section the speaker tells us how his aunt would wake up at the crack of dawn and build a fire. Then she would begin cooking porridge. In the second section of the poem the speaker talks about waking up "out of the nagging nightmare." Then the speaker describes his aunt a little bit more, "her soft but husky call." In the last section the speaker talks about how kind his aunt is to take care of his brothers and sisters while his parents "strayed to the copper mines." This poem makes me think about my grandma and all the wonderful things she has done for me. The speakers aunt is an old fra ...

... applied to them was a distinction rather than a definition(3). The men of Roaring Camp live the way they please. They have no rules or regulations, nobody to impress, and nobody to tell them what to do or how to act. "The assemblage numbered about one hundred men. One or two of these were actual fugitives from justice, some were criminal, and all were reckless"(2). The men of Roaring Camp were unruly and all it takes is the love of an infant to change the rude into responsible. Roaring Camp will go through a regeneration of a lifetime. All of the men at the mining camp will strive to ...
