An Example Of Good Writing: Zinsser's "Simplicity"
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 460

.... everyone can understand. The way Zinsser writes the essay it is easy to understand. He uses everyday words not dictionary words.

The Greeks Versus Their Gods I
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1814

.... Aphrodite seems to be jealous of Artemis because Hippolytus worships Artemis as the greatest of all gods, while he tends to shy away from worshipping Aphrodite (10-16). This is important because it sets in motion the actions of the play when Aphrodite decides to get revenge on Hippolytus. The divine relationship between the gods is a bit different, however. Over the course of the play, Artemis does not interfere in the actions of Aphrodite, which shows that the gods, while divine, do have restrictions; in this case, it shows the gods cannot interfere with each other. (13 .....

.... rejected the past Victorian ideas of “modern”. The movement contributed to the realization that art has no single meaning and overturned the problems with culture and language boundaries that cut away at art’s meaning, worth and truth. Today, the state of mind of the human world is called Post-Modernism, since it is a multi-cultural era. Racial Post-Modernism calls attention to those understandings that are shared across the boundaries of class, gender and race.
