    Despite Bromden’s distinctly mute manor, towards the end of the novel he begins to have his redeeming heroic moments. One example, in an attempt to prove his loyalty to McMurphy and defy the Big Nurse, Bromden becomes the singular vote needed in order to make McMurphy’s campaign to watch the World Series of Baseball successful, instead of doing the routine chores. This moment was crucial to Bromden character development. In a tiny way, this act was Bromden’s first attempt at standing up to the Big Nurse and the Combine, which has derided him for so many years. Another example of Bromden’s heroism is when, after McMurphy takes some of the patients on the mental ward on a fishing trip, he steps in to defend McMurphy in the shower against the…

    "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" written by James Thurber and the story of "Rip Van Winkle" written by Washington Irving are similar in many ways. Both characters use dreaming to escape what appear to be drab lives they live. The wife figures in both stories seem to be overbearing and constantly nag each man. Depending on what the reader takes away from each story, they can believe the nagging is justified in the actions of the man or the actions of the man are due to the nagging of the wives.…

    Remember JonBenet Ramsey, the six year old child beauty pageant queen whose body was found in her family basement hours after she was reported missing on December 5, 1996? Someone strangled and hit her in the head then wrapped her body in a blanket. Their been many speculation who killed her even her own family, but to this day no one really knows what happened in the Ramsey house when she was murdered.

    Do all old men truly possess wisdom because they can see their death on the horizon? Wisdom is a very valued and respected trait in our society and is associated with the elderly. In both King Lear by William Shakespeare and Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, the protagonists were able to acquire wisdom after undergoing trials and tribulations. However, both these men began their quest as completely different people, polar opposites even. Morrie always emphasized the value of family and love, while King Lear saw these as trivial pursuits which at best can be used to elevate his ego. Morrie was disappointed by the way things were in his society, while initially King Lear did not care too much for it and accepted it. Morrie viewed death as completely natural and even an ideal way to live, while King Lear still wanted to live the life of a king despite dividing his land between his daughters. Despite being very different in both character and beliefs initially, both King Lear and Morrie came to acquire true wisdom by experiencing a fact of life which we regard as a phenomena; death.…

    Like Adam, the creature was launched into this world without a choice in who he is, how he’ll look like, and whether he initially wanted to be created. Adam, created by God, was the first of his kind designed in the image of affection and selflessness. Comparably, Frankenstein’s creation was flung, into the world of humans, the first of his kind; however, in an immense frame and a grotesque exterior. God had designed Adam in the image of beauty to, firstly, be accepted by society; however, it seemed that Frankenstein dismissed this matter. Frankenstein constructed his ‘human’ to be very tall, standing at about 8 feet, and with gruesome features: a pale face and yellow-like eyes, which lead the society to reject and loathe the ‘Being’.…
