How far do you agree with the view that the ending of The Road is unbearably pessimistic? It is arguable whether or not McCarthy has one set ending because there are many possible ends in The Road. There is the literal end which is when McCarthy finished writing but there is the end of the focalisers’ journey on the road when they reach the shore‚ which was their destination‚ or alternatively‚ there is the possible interpretation that the end of The Road is when the man dies as he is a focaliser

A world war is said to take place when all the countries in the world‚ or most of them‚ are directly involved. So far‚ the world has seen two devastating world wars‚ World War I and World War II. Both of them were begun by Germany in an attempt to expand her borders. Following this was the cold war between the US and Russia. Over the last fifty years‚ or so‚ there have been a few times when these two superpowers headed towards conflict‚ but good sense prevailed in the end and the much feared war

" he’s giving us the rope- so that we’ll hang ourselves." To what extent do you agree with this description of the role of the Inspector? The quotation‚ " he’s giving us the rope to hang ourselves." I think means that the Inspector will allow the family to condemn themselves by criticizing each other‚ instead of staying together and supporting each other. In this way‚ the Inspector would be able to clinch information that otherwise he would not be able to get from normal methods of interrogation

society. I completely agree with that. However‚ universities should not require the balance between male and female students. This essay will discuss about the reason why not in that problem. At present‚ most universities enroll students by testing their ability. It is very fair system‚ which allows young people have the same opportunities to enter the university because they have the same test and hardship.

Wilde’s use of binary oppositions is the key comedic element in the Importance of Being Earnest. To what extent do you agree with this view? Throughout the play‚ Oscar Wilde portrays several binary opposites using the characters and themes of the play‚ such as the town and country‚ class‚ age‚ gender and morals. However I don’t think that the binary opposites are the main source of comedy in the play. The reason I find it comical is from the fact that the play is a comedy of manners as well as Wilde’s

but think that without the superb acting and flawless direction‚ Cinema Paradiso would not be near as good a film if left just to the story alone. I intend to find out whether the film is just a sentimental story of a boy in an Italian village or if more underpins the film. Within the opening scene there is a hint of sentimentality‚ the audience is already being thrown head first in to a heart wrenching tale‚ without any details‚ with the line “He will remember” being repeated. The line is repeated

the marriage is going to end the feud between both families. Also Friar Laurence is the only character that really knows what is going on throughout the play. When he gives the potion to Juliet and then sends the letter to Romeo the letter doesn’t arrive in time. If the Friar had thought through the plan longer it might have worked‚ but he went to fast and doesn’t think about what might go wrong.
