    The Plague is a disease caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis. It is responsible for killing millions of people in the Middle Ages. However, today we have a cure for it. The author Giovanni Boccacio wrote The Decameron to report, warn, and record the disease. He wanted people to be aware of what happened. The disease spread from place to place, animal to human, human to human. The people around it were aware that it was spreading and understood that is was “contagious”. As a result, they got rid of the infected bodies after they passed and kept the sickened away by barring them from the city. There was no cure for the disease that they could find, which is why so many people died. I think by saying “the nature of the disease did not allow for any cure” might simply mean they put their faith into God and it was not accepted. As for “ignorance of physicians”,…

    At first, Rosenblatt’s magnificent writing and powerful use of a non fictional tragedy brainwashed me into believing his arguments without question. However, after a great deal of contemplation, I found myself to be quite skeptical of the points Rosenblatt makes in his essay. Although he states his beliefs in an extremely well written, logical, and philosophical manner, I do not believe he has the required quantity of data to make the conclusions he does. It is impossible to conclude that every human being would “write blindly” in any situation where death is not only unavoidable, but imminent as well.…

    Edna Pontellier’s action in the novel “The Awakening” by Kate Chopin, could be justified as her being selfish and unjustified in her actions. The story's romanticism changes the outlook of Edna to being an admirable character, in many ways. She emancipated herself from her restraints and achieved nearly all that she desired. Chopin could have used this book to glorify the women of this age, but because of the time period and life styles, most of what was referred to in the story was very straightforward and possible. Therefore, I believe her affairs, treatment of her family and lovers, and suicide were completely unnecessary and, well, idiotic.…

    Anais Nin, a French-Cuban author and activist, once asked a liberating question concerning the feminine role of society: “How wrong is it for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than create it herself?” Nin supplements a good portion of thematic endurance for which arises in Kate Chopin’s “The Awakening,” illustrating the prevalent subsidy of individualism over traditional standards. Although such context as individuality spurs itself among the highest motifs of classic literature, society’s portrayal of impeding tolerance within “The Awakening,” reflected by that of Edna and Robert, accumulates through the themes of independence, identity and the disillusion of affection. These fractions of significant ideas utilize the overall negativity of suppression versus expression, a statement in which Enda endures through death and circumvent self-knowledge.…

    Some people around the world are pressured into things that they do not want to do or they are expected to become something they aren’t. The act of being the “perfect” person puts pressure on people even when they don’t want to change. Sometimes going through a certain situation can show who a person really is. In the novel The Awakening written by Kate Chopin she portrays Edna as someone who is trying to break free of the title “the perfect mother-woman”. Kate Chopin uses several literary devices such as, symbolism, her characters and use of language to show how hard it is for women to live in society and the pressure with the expectations to be the perfect mother-woman.…

    Sandro Botticelli followed a different path than many artists and painters of his time, which in turn gave him a unique edge. Instead of basing his work on the ideas of light and shade, he incorporated the element of line, into many of his works of art, and he also relied heavily on drawing beforehand. This and his inclusion of classcism, individualsim, and his own play on realism are the aspects that set Botticelli apart and made him unique during the Early Renaissance period.…
