...The Quest for Happiness People's quest for happiness seems to be fueled by the 'pretty things' they surround themselves with. In D.H Lawrence's "The Rocking Horse Winner", this pursuit results in destruction. Paul's brutal death is the logical conclusion to the misguided values and beliefs his mother instills in him that are validated by the personified house. The whispering and screaming of the house represent that, in Paul's family, more money leads to more misery. A potent sense of paranoia spilts up the family with the unspoken phrase "There must be more money! There must be more money!" (255). The house begins to scream when Hester spends the five thousand dollars her son secretly wins for her. She spends this sum of money quickly without regret, and without putting any amount aside to save. This frightens Paul, and he becomes "wild-eyed and strange, as if something were going to explode in him" (264). The house begins to scream as the growing need of money becomes stronger. The change fo the house's whispering to screaming because of Hester's craving to spend money on worthless things shows that the pursuit of happiness through wealth is futile. Paul's mother often values the material things in life. However, what she values most in luck. Hester interjects inot her son that "If you're lucky, you have money. That's why it's better to be born lucky than rich"(256). After talking with his mother, Paul wants luck, only so...

...Vision Quests and Women – Past and Present When we talked about the Vision Quests in class, related to Native American Religions, it was something that sounded interesting to me. Our textbook for class defines Vision Quest as simply, “Exercises undertaken by Native Americans seeking contact with the spirit world.” (Hopfe, 2012) Vision Quests are usually ventured into by younger individuals, and more specifically young men, when they are approaching puberty. From the time Native American children are young and can understand, they are told that someday they will be sent away to live by themselves, away from family, in a state of prayer and humility until they receive a vision. Usually the youth on the vision quest will have to fast and have no clothes or possessions as to be looked upon by the spirits and frail and humble. For some this vision may come quickly (within a few days) and for others it may take a significant amount of time. If the vision does not happen fairly quickly, the youth may become more extreme and cut themselves as to let the spirit know that they are genuine about their quest. Quite often when the vision comes, it comes in the form of some type of animal. The animal in the vision may also be performing an action or have some other object of significance. When the youth return to their family and community, they explain what they see in their vision. The vision is interpreted and the animal and the action or object that appears in the vision...

...Prologue Mitra, yama, qsiti and sovani… these four races exist in one world. In ancient times, mysterious artifacts referred to as Remnants were discovered all over the world. People used these objects for their awesome powers – a choice that eventually began to cause a rift in the world’s balance. Equality was replaced by those who ruled and those who were ruled over. War was inevitable. A thousand years later is when this story begins… Preface Welcome readers for one of my last walkthroughs that is scheduled to be released this year. Due to my self imposed “game writing holiday” and delayed shipping, the release of this exclusive has been moved drastically for almost two weeks behind. I know the game didn’t garner good reviews but I am sure there are other gamers like me that don’t rely on reviews for the sake of enjoying or experiencing the game. It has many flaws indeed, but being a seasoned RPG player like myself, I tend to overlook those shortcomings and enjoy what the game has to offer. I hope this document may assist you on your journey. This is another exclusive guide brought to you by yours truly and of course IGN. Since this is an exclusive, this guide will be featured only in IGN.com and its network. Kindly email me if you saw this guide someplace else. Any feedback from you guys is very much appreciated. I will try to cover everything that needs to be covered but I can’t guarantee you that this will be perfect (just imagine one guy can do with such limited time...

...outstanding fighters, sometimes carrying some divine powers. To show his heroic elements, the hero must confront some supernatural enemies, quests, war, or adversity. The Epic of Gilgamesh depicts most of these characteristics of epic heroism. The description about his birth to the journey and adventures in his life meets the characteristics of an epic hero. Although, at some points, Gilgamesh engages in acts of selfishness and arrogance, I believe he achieves the characteristics of an epic hero and portrays those characteristics throughout the epic. Gilgamesh is described as a son of a mortal man and a goddess, which makes him a one-third man and a two-thirds god. During his birth, Gilgamesh is marked out as a unique type of a person who has connections with both the mortal world and the divine world. The divine birth is very central and important to the various adventures and achievements to come into his life. “When the gods created Gilgamesh they gave him a perfect body…..Two-thirds they made him a god and one-third man (Mitchell, 13). Like most epic heroes, Gilgamesh embarks on heroic quests where he fights with the guardian Humbaba, which was a monster of the holy forest in order to achieve immortal status. Gilgamesh reveals his courageous nature by defying his advisers, including his own mother in efforts to accomplish the quests. Epic heroes tend to play by their own rules and are ready to sacrifice their lives in efforts to avenge or protect their people. Together...

...Justice is neither automatic nor inevitable; the attainment of justice typically entails the sacrifice and suffering of those attempting to achieve it. In essence justice is an ideal, which the majority of individuals universally attempt to realize or uphold, however due to the avarice or agendas, which serve the interests of minorities, this ideal is sometimes subverted. Those performing the miscarriage of justice can become unscrupulous in their methods of maintaining this standard of injustice in efforts of self-preservation. This often results in the suffering of those carrying out their quest for justice. This idea, and the concept that the miscarriage of justice can have long lasting and far reaching effects which can never be fully redressed are thoroughly explored in both the film The Constant Gardener and Ian McEwan’s Atonement, through a range of literary devices and film techniques we can fully understand the impacts of miscarriage of justice. When those that are intent on preventing the course of justice to further themselves, whether financially or otherwise, they may become unrestrained by moral boundaries, which may allow them the mental capability to disregard the wellbeing of other humans. This disregard for welfare of such a vast number of individuals is explored through both texts allowing us to see the way in which the attainment of justice goes hand in hand with human suffering and sacrifice, as those that are determined to subvert justice can be unscrupulous...

...gradates into a damaging monster that ultimately kills Tea Cake and consequently, her dream. Though Kubitschek believes that her quest for the pear tree is obtained through her marriage to Tea Cake, the violent hurricane reveals Janie’s ultimate failure in attaining the one thing she wanted the most. The change in nature that occurs once Janie believes that she has achieved her fantasy of a blossoming marriage represents an epiphany, a coming of age moment in which Janie’s childhood dreams are realized as unrealistic and naïve, as the true, destructive disposition of nature is unleashed. The most driving force in Janie’s early teenage years is the need for attainment of the ideal marriage filled with love and equality, which she was introduced to by a pear tree in full blossom filled with sexual images such as “dust-bearing bees sink[ing] into the sanctum of a bloom” (Hurston 11). She became obsessed with the spring and “attempts to harmonize her daily life with her ideal image derived from the pear tree” (Kubitschek 22). The first step in her search was her marriage to Logan Killicks, which happened after Nanny persuaded her that marriage grows into true love, which was all the Janie wanted. However, “the vision of Logan Killicks descrat[ed] the pear tree,” so when Joe (Jody) Stark appeared in her life, she took a chance and leapt into a new quest and a new marriage...

...The Road to a Quest What is a quest? If unaware as to what a quest is, it is a long search for something. What makes up a quest? What primarily makes up a quest is a questor, where the questors are going, stated reason for the quest, challenges and trials, and the real reason for the quest. Quests can be seen anywhere from movies to books. In the book The Road by Cormac McCarthy for example. That is a great story of a quest and survival. An important part of a quest is completing it. In the story The Road it has everything to make up a quest, but The Man and The Boy could not complete it. The two questors are The Man and The Boy. The story never identified their names. The Man is a great survivalist. He has great skills as to tracking, and using the weapons around him. Everything he does is dedicated for The Boy. The book establishes this very early on, “When he woke in the woods in the dark and the cold of the night he'd reach out and touch the child sleeping beside him” (McCarthy 1). The Boy is very mature, and smart for his age. The book does not tell his age but it is easy to tell he is young. He is very thoughtful of others, and wants to help others. An example of this is, “We should go get him, Papa. We could get him and take him with us. We could take him and we could take the dog. The dog could catch something to eat” (McCarthy 73). They both may be different types of people, but they need each other. The place where The Man and The Boy are heading is to the coast...

...The Warcraft III Adventure June 7, 2013 PROLOGUE: The Adventure Begins When this homework was assigned last Saturday, I knew then that this was going to be an adventure. I have never played Warcraft-DOTA before but, I am aware that it is an addictive game. I know this because my 20-year old nephew, still a third year industrial engineering student up to this day, was an excessively avid player. Two years of his college life were wasted because of his addiction with the game. He could have been graduating this year if not for the addiction. Thus, when I heard from Professor Nicart that the game has been lauded by no less than The Harvard School of Business because of its contribution in developing management skills, I was intrigued. Then, she said we have to play the game at least 30 minutes a day for the next 5 to 6 days, I was amused and thought to myself that my nephew would have a blast when he hears about this. Hence, the adventure for me began even before I would play the game. CHAPTER ONE: Acquiring The Warcraft-DOTA File I had a very busy schedule ahead of me this week. I thought that in order to have this homework done, I had to finish it as soon as possible. So, as soon as I got back home last Saturday, which was about 7:30 PM because electricity in our area only came back around that time, I immediately searched if the “Warcraft-DOTA” file was installed in our computer. It was not. I also searched the other laptops we had at home and I didn’t...
