    Siva Nuthanapati The article Slavery and Freedom: The American Paradox‚ written by Edmund S. Morgan‚ shows how slavery can be paradoxically used to show the history of America and the rise of freedom for Americans. The use of slavery to paradoxically define American freedom is first shown by the use of Jefferson‚ the “slaveholding spokesman of freedom”(Morgan). His attitude toward slavery can be shown in two ways. The first of which is debt. Debt is a force that can hold down any free man and

    The title of the painting is “The Black Sea”. It tells me‚ that on the picture I’ll see the Black sea‚ but actually it’s not only the Black‚ but black by its color: there is a storm. That’s why we may say that the artist used such a title not only to paint the Black sea‚ or it can not be the Black sea at all‚ but to show us the darkness of the heavy sea.

    everything in just two shades is ludicrous. Baba often sees the world in black and white‚ he does not believe a gray area exists. He tells Amir‚ “there is only one sin‚ only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft.” (Hosseini‚ 17) This ideal leaves no room for the gray area‚ it oversimplifies every situation. I believe that most people live in the gray area‚ or at least I certainly do. Rarely do I deal with problems that are as clear cut as right or wrong. My personal

    literature‚ the conception of Nature seems to be a quite complex question. ’Nature’ is not a concept that can be grasped easily and it often requires discussing some great philosophical conceptions like ’Pantheism’ or ’Deism’. However‚ my paper will not deal in detail with such vast enquiries. I rather want to focus more accurately on how ’Nature’ is used by Pope and Coleridge‚ respectively.
