- 10491: The Most Dangerous Game: Foil Character To Contrast The Protagonist
- ... by nature. He enjoyed hunting and was always on a quest for new game. In the beginning of the story, he had the following conversation about hunting with Whitney (8): "The best sport in the world," agreed Rainsford. "For the hunter," amended Whitney. "Not for the jaguar." "Don't talk rot, Whitney," said Rainsford. "You're a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?" "Perhaps the ... understanding." "Even so, I rather think they understand one thing-- fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death." "Nonsense," laughed Rainsford. "This hot weather is making you soft, Whitney. Be a realist. The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are hunters." Rainsford never considered what it was like to be the prey rather than the predator, that is until ...
- 10492: The Crucible: John Proctor
- ... worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name! He realizes that the only thing in this world that he can hang on to is his name, his honor, and the truth. John Proctors story is the heart of the play. He represents both the cowardice and courage that Miller sees in everyone in the play, and in the world, caught in dangers beyond their control. His initial reaction is to protect himself only. With time he believes that he needs to protect others, not only himself. But in the end he comes to realize ...
- 10493: Hamlets Transformation
- ... takes to make everything right. Death and sorrow will be brought upon Denmark until a balance is reached in the end. Then his purpose and task is complete. His new purpose trapped him in a world (Denmark) where he cannot be himself anymore. He changes into someone that will deal with that world and will be able to go through with his sole purpose. I think that Hamlet is fully aware of what he is doing, although he appears to be mad. His awareness is clear because he ...
- 10494: The Shocks of European Colonization
- ... uncharted sea with their crew and boats in search for the unknown. This innocent quest for the unknown grew fatal when greed interceded in their discoveries. During this age of discovery, Europeans invaded the "New World," cruelly enforced it's culture upon the Indian culture and used Africans rudely and injustly in slave trading. When Christopher Columbus discovered the new world, little did he know that he would begin an eternal deterioration to the Indian culture. Indians had an extremely rich culture because of being native to the Americas for centuries. The Incas and the Azteks ...
- 10495: Our Town
- ... the families would allow the audience to develop their own mental set. The stage being merely a blank set with a few tables respects Wilders third fundamental condition for theatre, that theatre is "a world of pretense". As the play is based on a "world of pretense", there is no need for concentration upon sets and costumes, the characters and narrative create the simple reality instead. The play is continuously interrupted by the Stage Manager, providing background information, and commentary ...
- 10496: The Declaration of Independence
- ... Declaration of Independence states that all men were, "endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness " and idea that was not new to the world just presented in a different way. By eliminating the control of a monarchy, Jefferson envisioned a country where all men would have the opportunity to control their own destinies. Jefferson foresaw a government where individual ... America to break away from Britain's rule and become its own nation, which could govern itself. To do this, though, it was necessary to write some sort of document which would state to the world the basic beliefs on which the nation's new government would be built. This document was the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson felt that Britain was doing nothing but hurting America with unfair rules and all ...
- 10497: Censorship Threatens Freedom of Speech
- Censorship Threatens Freedom of Speech Outline Thesis: The world is full with obscene things. And it is understandable that parents want to protect their children from it. Censorship is getting out of hand and has to be controlled. 1. Censorship on learning material A ... being censored. It makes you wonder about the meaning In God We Trust. But not in our schools and not on our time. Censorship will be like a plague if not treated. We are a world filled with violence, obscenities. Certainly literature like hard core pornography should be censored to the public. They degrade the human race by increasing physical, abuse against men and women. Censorship needs to be closely supervised ...
- 10498: Teacher Certification
- ... fields of specialization. Fieldwork, which is probably the most important of the two forms of requirements, involves the individual interested in being a teacher going out and observing, practicing, and preparing to enter the educational world as an instructor. There is no argument that all schools in every state has these basic requirements of teacher certification. However, the inconsistency lies within how the numerous institutions go about in teaching these requirements ... and issue to be discussed shortly in this section. Altogether, one could state that there is some inconsistency in teacher certification, and this inconsistency brings about a small problem in the educational spectrum of our world. In my opinion, there is no national and universal set of requirements for teacher certification. The variety of different methods and forms of teacher education programs is causing an inconsistency in how teachers are being ...
- 10499: Tiger Subspecies
- ... and bureaucrats seem to be obsessed with numbers and not trends. Let me illustrate this with tigers. There are frequently requests as to the exact number of tigers, or a tiger subspecies left in the world. That tells you that there are people that care. But there are so little tigers left that we can not even keep track of them. We should look at the trend that the population is ... our must beautiful animals. We have lost to many species of animals and we can not afford to lose any more. As we can see, at the rate that we are losing animals in the world, pretty soon there are not going to be any left for us to enjoy.
- 10500: Ignorrance is Bliss
- Ignorrance is Bliss I like the way Harvey Danger said it in '97 in "Flagpole Sitta'", "Been around the world and seen that only stupid people are breeding, Creatons cloning and feeding". Im sure he didn't have to travel far to come to this conclusion. This is what I see every day. Not just ... blamed on pure stupidity for the most part. Riders climbing out of the harnesses, not tightening the restraints at all, etc... I would just like to know what is wrong with the people of this world. Are these the kind of people I have to look forward to working for? And many of them think they know everything, and are totally sure of your inferiority. I guess ignorrance and arrogance go ...
