    I cannot cut out a piece of my head and give it to you. Unfortunately‚ lobotomies performed by untrained individuals such as myself tend to end in death. Even if I did manage to harvest a little piece of my brain and live long enough to place it in your hand‚ you would only have a lifeless‚ squishy mass of tissue that used to be inside of my skull. There would be no memories or emotions; you would be no closer to understanding my experiences or me as a person. That’s the thing about the human mind:

    I strongly agree with the statement “there is no literature without conflict”. It applies well to the play Antigone by Jean Anouilh. The most significant conflict exists between Antigone and Creon the king. Despite this major conflict‚ there is also another minor conflict between Antigone and Ismene. Conflicts do not have to be between two people. A good example would be whether or not to obey the law‚ when Antigone decides whether she should take the risk and try to bury her deceased brothers.

    Written Report: Hunter in the Dark Monica Hughes‚ a truly gifted novelist‚ has written a first class book titled Hunter in the Dark. I chose this gripping novel‚ which was published in 1982 because I have immensely enjoyed some of her other works. After reading the preview‚ I expected that the story would give me a greater appreciation for life‚ since it focused on a boy’s struggle with leukemia‚ and how he overcame it.

    “Mooses” The poem “Mooses”‚ by Ted Hughes‚ is about two mooses that find themselves ugly and not attractive. But my thesis is‚ mooses are large mentally challenged animals. I came down to this because of the author’s statements in his poem. The author thinks that the moose is mentally challenged because he states‚ “And why am I so ugly?” This shows that he is mentally challenged because‚ in some cases‚ looks can show a person’s mental capacity. And in this case‚ the author thinks that the mooses’

Through these old English texts‚ each author attempts to explore what happens in life after death. Interestingly‚ each author takes a different side while revealing parallel‚ underlying theories. Within their sonnets‚ John Donne and Rochester try to quell the common fear of death. Despite their efforts‚ it is evident through rhetorical devices and

    A World Without Chemistry A world without chemmistry would be simply disastrous.We would have no phones‚ no lightbulbs‚ no social networking! Almost everything we use in our daily lifes depends on chemistry to exist‚ from the food we eat to the clothes on our backs. If we had never studied chemistry we wouldn’t have liquid oxygen.
