word peace. I always thought of peace as a state of which our world got along‚ one country with another. I also thought of peace as a state of calmness between people where fighting or disagreement does not exist. I feel that today our country tries to solve issues and problems in a peaceful manner. However‚ the world will never be at peace since there are so many different opinions between world leaders. Another way of looking at what peace means is an internal peace within oneself. Peace could

“Belonging”‚ being accepted‚ or having your image accepted in society nowadays has become a big setback. Racial profiling and bullying are becoming more and more common. What you speak‚ the way you look‚ and what you wear are things which people use these days to judge you. People will try to dress‚ speak‚ and act like famous people so that they may be accepted and looked at as “one of us” by the general public‚ and not “one of them”. I’m sure we all have our very own experiences in which we

A milestone in the genre‚ this novel demonstrated for the first time that hard-boiled fiction could serve as a vehicle for social comment and critique. While the apparent plot is slower paced and less metaphoric than Chandler’s previous novels‚ the revealed plot shows him using his own life as a material‚ an autobiographical turn that prepared the way for Ross Macdonald. Marlowe meets and befriends English expatriate Terry Lennox‚ a drunk who has been abandoned by his ex-wife Sylvia‚ at The Dancers

This concept would have the reader believe that a continuous war‚ as is happening in the novel‚ would not only maintain peace‚ but if the war is continuous‚ then the people know nothing of peace‚ and therefore‚ the war is likened to peace. In Oceania‚ the people cannot exist without a war‚ because the war gives the people something to bond together to fight against. Additionally‚ if the idea of doublethink is applied to the situation

Throughout the course of the year our brains have been filled with various literary works. We have read short stories and plays that have not been accustomed too. You know things from the 18th century or readings from the slave-like time periods. Besides all of that though‚ we have learned a great deal about Character‚ Quality‚ Values and Life in a broader more mature point of view. As reading the play “Antigone” we were exposed to the closed mindedness of Creon (Antigone’s Uncle; King
