Defense on Socrates There are times in every mans life where our actions and beliefs collidethese collisions are known as contradictions. There are endless instances in which we are so determined to make a point that we resort to using absurd overstatements‚ demeaning language‚ and false accusations in our arguments. This tendency to contradict ourselves often questions our character and morals. Similarly‚ in The Trial of Socrates (Plato’s Apology)‚ Meletus’ fallacies in reason and his eventual

The entire novel is narrated through the eyes of Chief Bromden‚ a Red Indian who is considered by everyone to be deaf and dumb. The Chief gives us an insight into the character sketch of all the participants in the story‚ including himself. Although the Chief is a patient in the hospital‚ I believe that he was not mentally ill when he was admitted into the facility but rather was reduced to such a state because of the kind of practices that were prevalent there.

THE BIG CHIEF TABLET By S.B. Watson My first clear memory of writing is at the young age of 5‚ before the first grade‚ when my mother took me to the five and dime store to purchase school supplies.

On the cover was this Big Indian Chief. I remember thinking‚ “Why did this chief have his picture on the front

The Ransom of Red Chief is one of my favorite O. Henry stories. Always the master of comic irony‚ Henry is at the top of his form in this story of two incompetent would-be kidnappers‚ Sam Howard and Bill Driscoll. The story is told in the first person by protagonist Sam‚ whose grand vocabulary and self important attitude helps set the stage for the major fall he and his partner Bill take when they capture a malevolent red-headed hellion‚ Johnny Dorset (a worthy antagonist)‚ and attempt to hold
