...Writing Essay This essay is about a class that I took while I was at HSSU. It was a wonderful class even though it was online but the teacher made it clear and telling us that the only way we can learn in this class is if we read the textbook.

Ethics is the study of what is right or wrong, good or bad, in which we are responsible for our actions in areas such as etiquette, professional codes, legal and religious codes. Ethics also can be a thought of an attempt or reasonable manner to basic questions. An example of ethics is just like going to play the guitar other than getting your mother a birthday gift or giving her the trip of her dreams to make her happy. The best thing to do is the right thing and not the wrong thing. At the end you would want your mother to have the best and the world in many different ways. Ethics involve a clear mind of goals and personal events that help you through things to get a better understanding. Ethical issues a problem or situation that requires a person or organization to choose between alternatives that must be evaluated as right (ethical) or wrong (unethical). Psychological egoism is good to tell things and argue them. A lot of people...

...of Memory, and Adam Brown’s essay “Traumatic Memory and Holocaust Testimony: Passing Judgment in Representations of Chaim Rumkowski” discuss some of these effects that the Jews experienced when they re-entered “normal” society. In the Holocaust Testimonies: The Ruins of Memory Langer addresses the idea, presented by Charlotte Delbo “that the self who was in the camp [wasn’t her], isn’t the person who is here, opposite to you…and everything that happened to that other self, the one from Auschwitz, doesn’t touch me now, me, doesn’t concern me, so distinct are deep memory and common memory” (Langer 5). According to Langer, “Deep memory tries to recall the Auschwitz self as it was then; common memory has a dual function: it restores the self to its normal pre- and post camp routines…” (Langer 6). For instance, Celia, a nineteen-year-old girl, in 1942 fled the ghetto where she was living with her family to hide in the nearby woods with her younger sister. Germans soldiers made their way to the woods and by guaranteeing them work; persuaded the Jews who were hiding there to go back to the ghetto. Being only nineteen years old and feeling alone, Celia returned to the ghetto with her sister. When they arrived back at the camp they were greeted by their angry mother who told them to escape and never comeback. Celia’s mother persuaded a Polish peasant to hide her daughters in his farm and he succeeded. He dug a hole in the barn and Celia and her younger sister hid there from 1942 to 1943...

King Lear, written by William Shakespeare, features a large cast that displays the range of human personalities. In particular, Edmund merely falls on the more extreme end, as he is not entirely evil. No person is completely and utterly without morals. Contrasting Edmund, on the other...

...the words from the officer that Rodion concurred. Rodion’s questions included, "Why does she live?" "Is she useful to anyone at all?" and the fact that the Pawnbroker beats Lizaveta, all added to the justification of the pawnbroker’s death. In the beginning Rodion was contemplating if he should kill the pawnbroker but coincidental events and self-justifications pushed Rodion to ultimately, murder. After hearing the two young soldiers opinions on the pawnbroker, it crossed to Rodion that “why, just at the moment when he had brought away the embryo of his idea from the old woman, had he dropped at once upon a conversation about her?” (Chapter I, part VI) Along with hearing the conversation he saw the pawnbroker’s sister, Lizaveta at the Hay market away from her sister, hopefully meaning that the pawnbroker would be alone, and possibly avoid collateral damage. And the final event that happened before Rodion went to the Hay market was...

...Date: Dead Man Walking Sister Helen Prejean has for years travelled the world and her country to speak against capital punishment – the Death Penalty. On these talks, she discusses her experiences of being a spiritual advisor to inmates sentenced to death row, and explains what it really means to accompany men to their death, meeting the family of a man doomed to die by the state as well as the families of the victims. She’s a fervent critic of politicians and the legal system, discussing how and when the court system works and when it doesn’t. She also speaks on and of forgiveness. She also writes about her beliefs, latest is a book “the Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions” that came out in 2004. It is a book that delves into her experience of witnessing two men that she believes were wrongfully executed, revealing evidence that the juries did not see. It is the second book after her famous novel “Dead Man Walking”, that was adapted into a hit film by the same name, telling the story of Sister Prejean as she establishes a special relationship with Matthew Poncelet, an inmate on death row. While each story might be of slightly different dynamics and different characters, the message remains that before you make up your mind about the death penalty, learn all that you can about it. She believes that many of the people who are for the death penalty may have never actually reflected on it. In this paper, I will analyze Sister Prejean’s argument against...

...“father”, it seems apparent that the ghost is in fact Old Hamlet, returning to Earth to have his son avenge his treacherous murder. In spite of this encounter when looking more closely at the text, various signs appear to lead readers to see that the ghost is actually a demon. Joseph Addison in his essay, published in The Spectator 1711 states, “The Appearance of the Ghost in Hamlet is a Masterpiece in its kind…but every Time he enters he is still more terrifying” (Addison 2). Kenneth Branagh’s 1996 production of Hamlet vividly portrays these signs of malevolence, of this being originating from Hell. Baranagh brilliantly depicts the demon that Shakespeare wrote in the early 1600’s from Act I Scenes I and IV/V as well as Act III Scene IV in his movie. As the play begins the first mystery that the characters come across is the “ghost” that embodies their old King. Horatio, Hamlet’s old friend as well as a noble scholar approaches the ghost, commanding it, “By heaven I charge thee, speak...See, it stalks away… [Exit Ghost.]”(Shakespeare 2). Just by this simple wording Shakespeare reveals to us that this may be a being from Hell, being invoked by the name of Heaven. In her essay, Eleanor Prosser states, “In the first minute on stage, the Ghost reveals that something is seriously wrong. It firmly establishes one point: this Ghost is forced to leave when Heaven is invoked”...

...Essay 2 Comparison of Bessie Head’s “The Deep River: A Story of Ancient Tribal Migration” and “Two Sisters by Ama Ata Aidoo’s I have chosen “Two Sisters” and “The Deep River” for comparison of power relationships between men and women. The men in these stories are powerful but in the end we will find out that the women find their inner power to get what that want. “Two Sisters” by Ama Ata Aidoo is a story that shows how the males are privileged in the way it is practiced in much of post-colonial Africa. Men who are financially successful use their power or buying power to have their way with any of the women they desire. This is a common theme written by African women. “Two Sisters” gives us two views because it is told from two perspectives. Connie the eldest sister believes that Mercy, the younger sister is ruining her life because of the many affairs with older, powerful men. Connie is married but her husband James is open about his affairs and numerous mistresses. This shows that not only financially successful men but all men render women powerless in the African society. Mercy acts in ways that bring benefits to others. The story helps us understand that her office job is equivalent to a taxi cab driver. She is paid very low wages. She sees Mensar-Arthur as an option to help her out of this situation. Connie’s husband James sides with Mercy, he thinks it is okay for her to continue with the affairs. Bessie Head is a bi-racial woman who eventually moved...

...On my Light-Giver essay, I received a score of 6/6-, which is understandable, because I can acknowledge that my essay had both good and bad aspects.To further explain the positive attributes of my essay, the most prominent detail that popped out at me throughout the entirety of my essay was how I was very descriptive. Rather than telling, I did a lot of showing through sensory details and imagery. For instance, at the end of the first page I wrote, “Simply reminding myself of what I endured brought shivers up my spine, caused a cascade of goose bumps to break out onto my skin, and spread an unwanted prickling sensation throughout my entire body.” My use of imagery really painted a picture in the reader’s mind and made them feel as if they were truly...

...Essay based on ”My Mother and her Sister” Essay (700-900 words) Short story by Jane Rogers., “My Mother and her Sister”., 2006. A Who knows what happiness is? Is it love? Is it money? Or is the idea of happiness in a person truly just an act…? We don’t know. We can only figure it out by trying different boundaries in our lives. A lot of people have trouble with love and finding out, what they want in life and what love is. If love was the answer to happiness, we all had a perfect goal. In “My Mother and her Sister” we are introduced to the protagonist and the protagonist’s aunt Lucy. These two people are similar to this situation. Lucy knows that there is no such thing as happiness, because she has already tried that road called love. The narrator doesn’t know what she wants and she definitely has no idea of what true happiness is or if it even exists? The story is about the protagonist, who has her 75-years-old aunt Lucy staying for some time, after they had attended the protagonist’s mother – Lucy’s sister’s funeral. During her stay aunt Lucy tells the protagonist some perspectives of life as a woman. Through aunt Lucy, Jane Rogers creates a pessimistic view on love, happiness and the role of being a housewife. In the beginning of the short story, the protagonist explains how she remembers her and her brother, Tim’s, school holidays at her aunt Lucy and uncle Bill’s house. She remembers how she saw her aunt Lucy as an “easy, chatty woman, good at small talk and...

...EURO3301 Reflective Essay (2) Given that Antigone seems to act out of kinship loyalties and in deference to the will of the gods of Hades, to what extent can she be interpreted as an individual in conflict with her society? Do you consider her rebellious or conservative? Jack Tesser (21137219) Within Sophocles’ play Antigone, the major character Antigone is seen to act continuously out of kinship loyalties and deference to the gods of Hades. These actions allow her to be interpreted as an individual in conflict with her society to a certain extent. She can be identified as predominantly rebellious at different times within the play. The gender of Antigone as well as the gender related expectations of the society of Thebes also plays an important part in analysing how Antigone is in conflict with her society. Coupled with exterior factors such as religion, sacrifice, and human law, an audience can make commentary on how Antigone is at conflict with her society, and how she can be seen as primarily rebellious. After Antigone’s brother Polyneices, falls to his death in battle, Antigone feels the need to bury him in honour to her religion and the gods of Hades, as her other brother who is described by Creon as “Eteocles, who fell fighting for his city…will be buried and receive all honours”. Creon additionally describes Polyneices as the one “who…hope[d] of burning his native land…he shall be neither buried nor mourned” In Antigone’s eyes, both her brothers should...

...The story opens in ancient Britain, where the elderly King Lear is deciding to give up his power and divide his realm amongst his three daughters, Cordelia, Regan, and Goneril. The critical essay that was chosen for this comparative essay was King Lear's Folly in this essay they had referenced other pieces by Shakespeare such as Richard iii and Hamlet, as well as other classics Oedipus Rex and The garden of Eden. In the critical essay the author states that lack of insight is the main theme and reason of everyone’s faults, this goes efficiently with this comparative essay because the themes that are stated can be referenced. This relates to the play because comparing the themes with the characters expresses the true intentions of Shakespeare. The themes that appear in both the essay King...
