Myths Of Meaning
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 606.... all must find an inner light in order to walk through the darkness of the world. In this interpretation, the search for the light of truth is an inward one rather than an outward one as the more traditional interpretation of the myth suggests. In this sense of the myth, Hamlet's outward dishonesty would not be a betrayal of his inner truth, and he would become a figure of light seeking to maintain that light in a dark and dangerous world.
The myth of Sisyphus like the myth of Diogenes has been a symbol to many writers including Albert Camus who wrote an essay entitled "The Myth .....

Society Points Guns And Finger
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1283.... the activities that the ‘athletic’ kids take part of (namely drinking heavily after games and beating each other to a pulp). These kids are looking for more out of life. Many are artists - musicians, poets, or actors. What artist doesn’t stray a bit from the norm? Is there anything wrong with that? I don’t think so. The “gothic” people that I have met are not violent. In fact, violence is one of the reasons that these kids have chosen to exclude themselves from the other activities. Most of these kids are peaceful and are openly lovin .....

Marriage 2
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 573.... Parents believe that marriage is the friendship and closeness which two people share for the rest of their lives.
I am a product of my parents and I have much of the same values and beliefs that they have. I was engaged to a girl for a year and a half before I came to a realization that she was not the one that I wanted to settle down with for the rest of my life. I think marriage is a life long companionship. I am glad that I did not get married to that girl because today I would have been divorced. I too have the belief that the person that you wed is to be a friend fo .....

The Monastery And The Clock

By inventing the mechanical clock there were no obstacles to keep clock working, and the time measuring slowly pushed its way into our everyday lives. At first, only the rich could afford to keep the clock, but little by little everyone started using it until it became a necessity. In today's world it is almost impossible to imagine living without the clock and the ability to tell the time.
If for some reason, all the clocks and time measuring devices would suddenly disappear from our lives, .....

Immortal Poetry
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1453.... than they did about our past. Is it just an illusion that our
world is evolving, or do these great poets have the power to see into the
future? In this brief essay, I will investigate the immortal
characteristics of poetry written between 1794 and 1919. And, I will show
that these classical poems can actually hold more relevance today, than
they did in the year they were written. Along the way, we will pay close
attention to the style of the poetry, and the strength of words and
symbols used to intensify the poets’ revelations.
The World Is Too Much with Us, written by .....

Demographic Trends And Implica
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1492.... age of 20-34 had about a 19.6 percent chance that her marriage would end in divorce. The projection for the same age group is that within 15 years, the percentage among the same age group of women will be around 40 percent (Russell 211). So, the current popular saying of “half of marriages end in divorce” is slowly becoming true. The demographic trend toward single-parent households is clear and definite. The history and projections show that the trend will not disappear, but will become more evident.
Implications:
As the operator of a theme park, one must be .....
