In his English sonnet “When I Have Fears” (pg. 17‚ Vendler)‚ John Keats attempts to put into words the human emotions felt when dealing with death.

With careful examination one can see that Keats used the first quatrain to describe a state of utter confusion‚ the

He had a psychology degree‚ and he toyed around a bit with computer science and computer history. Far from an expert. Licklider did‚ however‚ have visions (similar

John Updike’s “A&P” John Updike’s short story "A & P" shows you that there is a very thin line between being a hero and being stupid.

However‚ I can also see a sense of stupidity that occurs when you take a young adolescent teenager making off-the-hip decisions in order to impress the opposite sex. The decisions are hardly ever logic driven but for some
