deceives us and misleads us to a rather different conclusion than his. Our initial impression is that we will be told how to paint a water lily whilst an artist is painting one. It also makes me think of Monet’s Water- lilies. In my mind I picture a beautiful lake shaded by large leafy willow trees‚ a bridge dominating the view and an army of dragonflies over a lily filled pond. It is an idyllic view. However it is not the impression formed by the poet Ted Hughes. Ted Hughes wants us to understand

Throughout my reading of Machiavelli‚ a particular selection struck me as very interesting. This comes from Chapter 17 when Machiavelli states‚ “Here a question arises: whether it is better to be loved than feared‚ or the reverse. The answer is‚ of course‚ that it would be best to be both loved and feared. But since the two rarely come together‚ anyone compelled to choose will find greater security in being feared than in being loved. . . . Love endures by a bond‚ which men‚ being scoundrels‚ may

In the novel “Lord of the Flies” we are given an example of what happens when a group of individuals that are proper‚ well behaved and orderly‚ are put into an environment where rules and regulations or the ability to enforce them are absent.

I Heart Huckabees "Nothing’s okay‚ so it’s okay" was the major turning point for Brad Stand and the existential detectives working on his case. Which in reality makes perfect sense‚ since life is chaotic and hectic‚ wouldn’t it be perfectly normal for nothing to be "okay"?

Lily Bart‚ so far‚ has become an increasingly relatable character for females in the 21st century. While the book is set in the early 1900’s the idea that being single and on her own late in her age is a problem that I feel many females can relate to these days.
