    Johann Wolfgang Goethe hat seinen Roman, "Die Leiden des Jungen Werther" im Jahre 1774 geschrieben. Die Zeit, in der Roman geschrieben wurde, wird "Sturm und Drang" genannt. Diese literarische Bewegung betont Gefühle, die Natur, und das Ich. Dieses Buch gibt uns Einblick in die Gefühle und die Einstellungen von Werther durch seine Briefe an Wilhelm. Werthers veränderliche Einstellungen zur Natur reflektieren seine emotionelle Kondition. Manchmal ist die Natur eine Quelle von Freude, Frieden und Entspannung. Aber auch ist die Natur eine Quelle von Qual und Hass. Chengxi Tang schreibt, "Werther's writing has an explicitly self-reflexive character" (Tang 107). Deshalb gibt es in diesem Roman enge Parallele zwischen Werthers emotionelle Kondition und seine Einstellung zur Natur.…

    Well chocolate has antioxidants, antioxidants protect the body from aging caused by pre-radicals which can cause and lead to heart damage and also this prevents you from getting heart disease. Flavonoids also help relax blood pressure through the production nitride-oxide and balance out certain hormones. It also tastes good and help keep your skin smooth by no means am I telling you to go out and eat a major amount of chocolate. Remember the antioxidants and flavonoids are what helps reduce your blood pressure that’s what helps lower you cholesterol and also prevents bad cholesterols from causing plaque to build up in the arteries. Dark Chocolate can also help reduce tooth decay because it’s not loaded with sugar like hard candies. Mostly it tastes good that’s why I like it and you feel good after you’ve had it as chocolate releases B endorphin which elevates mood. The reason why dark chocolate tastes so bitter is because not all sugar and butter is added that would go into milk chocolate in fact less is added this is why dark chocolate contains 70% coco which makes it less fattening as it’s more natural. Furthermore coco butter is high in saturated fat, BUT 1/3 of fat is stearic acid, which doesn’t raise bad cholesterol. 1/3 of fat is unsaturated fat called oleic acid which raises good cholesterol. Although chocolate does contain caffeine it only contains a small amount whereas coffee and coke contains a substantial amount of caffeine. Chocolate can also help display a superior cardiovascular health. It turns out that…
