As centuries pass and time continues to lapse‚ more and more countries are handing in their older systems of government for new ones such as democracy. Some countries‚ however‚ continue with the dictatorship model‚ even though logically‚ this system is as fallacious as it gets. In Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” and Orwell’s “Animal Farm”‚ there are plenty of superb examples of dictatorship leading to the downfall of entire communities. Brutus and Caesar from “Julius Caesar” and Napoleon from “Animal

He was an interesting man. In many ways “interesting” isn’t the most positive way to describe something but that’s how I remember him. A solitary man yet overflowing with knowledge that he was always hesitant to share. I use the word interesting to describe my grandfather because he was such a confusing man that I had so much love for I could never think about all the wrong he did nor want to comprehend it. It meant nothing to me because as selfish as this may seem‚ he loved me more than anything

World War I directly influenced the beginning of World War II. Many believed that the Treaty of Versailles would keep Germany weak and did not expect another worldly attack‚ but little did they know. Putting all the blame and consequences on Germany also led others to predict World War II. The peace settlement after World War I made Germany very angry and desirable for revenge‚ thus leading to World War II. The Treaty of Versailles put germany in a very poor state.

More so than I expected while reading Joseph Roth’s The Emperor’s Tomb was the extent that class divisions contributed to the cultural climate of pre-1914 Austria. While modern-day scholars may be interested in studying the rise of anti-Semitism‚ especially considering the rise of Nazi Germany in the aftermath of World War I‚ certain passages of The Emperor’s Tomb show that amongst the aristocratic intellectual elite‚ class divisions overcame anti-Semitic sentiment. Class divisions were engrained

Arguably the most unique thing about Catch-22 is the distinct and innovative writing style of Joseph Heller. Heller’s satirical style is perhaps the most important element of the entire novel and is the technique he uses to communicate a majority of the central themes within the story. Using irony‚ paradox‚ and hyperbole in particular‚ Catch-22 is a satire that ridicules the way in which World War II is fought and parodies the ridiculousness of bureaucracy in general. The satirical style of writing

In a interview with Bill Moyers‚ Joseph Campbell answered philosophical and almost spiritual questions through discussing mythology. At first‚ I genuinely thought he was lunatic but‚ there was something about his words that were relatable and fundamental. The discussion of Campbell’s book‚ The Hero with a Thousand Faces‚ exhibited a pattern in all heroes throughout time and cultures. Accompanied by examples from famous pieces like Star Wars‚ Campbell revealed a hero that we all relate to. Campbell
