the first lines and the first lies in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn‚ so from the beginning‚ the lack of truth is a major theme in the novel. Mark Twain justified the lying in different levels. Some of the lies are vicious and self-serving and these lies were mostly told by the King and Duke while other lies were childish and harmless which was mostly told by Jim. The “bad” characters in the novel tended to spew out lies on a daily basis. The king and Duke tell lies without pausing and transform

After reading Dunbar’s poem‚ “We Wear the Mask‚” I feel the poem was meant for an educated audience since the dialect was written in Standard English. In the first line‚ “We wear the mask that grins and lies‚” the African American people are telling their side of the story through this poem. How they truly feel is contrary to their smiles‚ although‚ they suppose that things should not be any different. The author is trying to show the audience that many African-Americans are putting on a front for

The wear and tear theory of aging believes that the effects of aging are caused by damage done to cells and body systems over time. Once they wear out‚ they can no longer function correctly.

Are Uniforms the Answer? There is a continuous debate about whether or not grade school students should have to wear uniforms. There isn’t really a definitive answer‚ since either side could argue valid points. Benefits and disadvantages could stem from both arguments.

David with the Head of Goliath At first glance‚ I instantly recognized this work to be a depiction of David and Goliath. Since we had previously discussed similar works in class‚ this particular scene was very interesting to me. The painting itself with its dark dramatic lighting‚ earthly tones and realistic characters‚ is strikingly similar to the same scene paint by Caravaggio. The two paintings almost scream for a comparison. The expression of Vignon’s David seems to be one of intense contemplation

Europeans believed that the African tribes were uncivilized‚ if not savage due to their differences physically and religiously.

Dear Quote Investigator: I attended a graduation ceremony last year and was genuinely impressed by a quotation used in the keynote address: What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. The speaker credited Ralph Waldo Emerson and that sounded plausible to me‚ but when I searched on the internet to find a specific reference I was surprised to discover substantial disagreement. Some websites do attribute the words to Emerson‚ but other websites

of a silent man and still water A large expanse of water that is still and does not move is often deep and dangerous. We should be careful of it. In the same way‚ we should be careful with a person who does not talk much.

A woman wearing a long ruffled colorful dress‚ with many jewelry pieces around her neck and wrists and colorful beads braided onto her hair must be a hippy or a gypsy‚ right?
