.... them apart and eating them. Grendel is “the creature of evil, grim, and fierce, was quickly ready, savage, and cruel, and seized from their rest thirty thanes.” He killed the Danish warriors for twelve winters, and was incapable of feeling any remorse for what he had done. Grendel does not feel guilty for his wrongdoing, instead his “heart laughed” at all the men he thought he would eat. Grendel wore “God’s anger,” and he was simply deprived of any joy whatsoever. He was motivated by some kind of “evil desire,” and was angry with the world. Grendel could not be harmed by a we .....

.... statement for a poem that offers a new way of thinking, a sense of hope of escape from the "Molochs" of society. The story of the poem’s history serves well as an account of the birth of the Beat Generation. Ginsberg’s life leading up to the writing of "Howl," the actual creation of the poem, its legendary first reading, and the aftermath of its public debut all figure prominently into the history of the literary movement. One can understand the impact of the poem on the Beat Generation by studying not only the chronology of its past, but its intricate and unique str .....

.... but each speech also offers a unique insight on each of the speakers. Brutus' speech becomes one of strict vindication, not only for the people of Rome, but for Brutus himself. He uses his "honor and nobility" as a shield to defend and justify his actions to the crowd. Brutus states that he has carried out this heinous act because of his love for Rome, and for the good of the people. (This is my answer, not that I have loved Caesar less, but that I love Rome more..." 3.2.21-22) In his speech he requests that the people use their "reason" to judge him. Although this ca .....

.... so heavenly that it is unattainable. Daniel tries to prove that his mistress has a love so powerful and deep that it can only be an idea. When many people think of an idea of love that is perfect, many would say that women of purity and beauty would be the perfect woman. Daniel states this thought when he says "Chastity and Beauty, which were deadly foes." Here Daniel says that his mistress is pure, innocent, and beautiful. He is asking the reader to find a woman that perfect. There also seems to be reference to the divine in this line. Daniel is possibly comparin .....

.... Catholic family. The demand for compliance placed on Stephen shapes his life early at Clongowes, a preparatory school run by the Jesuit order. Even as he is adhering to the principles of his Catholic school upbringing, he becomes increasingly disillusioned. Even though Joyce spoke warmly of his own experiences at Clongowes he portrays a different, almost opposite experience for Stephen (Kershner 4). Formerly above reproach or distrust, the priests become symbols of narrow-mindedness and repression in Stephen's mind. Father Dolan, in particular, whose abusive and humi .....

.... and Mr.Dussel. Mrs.Van Daan loved her son, Peter, and her husband, although they argued most of the time. She clinged to one material possession, her fur coat given to her by her father. Mr.Dussel was a Jewish dentist that picked on Peter van Daan for every little thing. He wasn't a very religious Jew, but he still wore the blue star. Mr.Kraler was one of the people that helped them survive in the lonely attic. He with Koophuis was sent to the camps with the Jews for housing them. They both miraculously survived the camps. Mr.Koophuis was the manager of the building occupyi .....

.... through its doors. (Colacurcio 113) "So much of mankind’s varied experience had passed there - so much had been suffered, and something, too, enjoyed - that the very timbers were oozy, as with the moisture of a heart." (Hawthorne 27). Hawthorne turns the house into a symbol of the collection of all the hearts that were darkened by the house. "It was itself like a great human heart, with a life of its own, and full of rich and somber reminiscences" (Hawthorne 27). Evert Augustus Duyckinck agrees that "The chief perhaps, of the dramatis personae, is the house itself. From its tu .....

.... is vital in life, but mere facts cannot aid in the solution to all problems. Another source of is entertainment, such as in television, movies, books, or even music. Certain types of entertainment can even be education. For example, television shows such as “20/20” or “DateLine” are both very informative shows, but interesting enough to entertain the public. Entertainment can be tricky, though. The media can convince us, even brainwash us, to believe certain truths that may not be accurate. The television shows we watch and the music that we listen to are huge daily infl .....
