.... our own identity and inhere to a greater whole simultaneously, however my rationalism does not extend beyond people. Nonetheless, these philosophers all had valid conclusions and their theories compliment each other. “War is king”1 said Heraclitus. He believes that reality is not composed of a number of things, but is a process of continual creation and destruction. An accurate metaphor for his rationale is a river. It’s location remains basically the same. One can walk away from it, and return with the confidence that it will still be there. However, the exact water that flows through it is never the same. One can’t tell the dif .....

.... to change the system. Based on the novel by Ken Kesey, it seems that his perspective on this issue is that the system is in dire need of change. Even if you are not successful in changing the system, it is still very effective that you tried and you set an example for others to follow. Kesey also seems to believe that persistence is key when fighting the system. Kesey believes that even if you change a small aspect of the system it was well worth the fight. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the main character, Randle Patrick McMurphy, fights to change the system in a mental hospital. McMurphy is outgoing, a leader and a rebel. There was a constant power strugg .....

.... is describing the condition of the face. He also focuses on the pain and suffering that the soldiers are experiencing and on the desperate need to escape the murderous gas. "Fumbling-stumbling-guttering-choking-drowning" are some of the words he uses to get the reader's attention and he succeeds. Little Libby is also a poem about death, however, the difference is very obvious. Moore uses a different style to create her poem. She uses "pretty" language to describe the death of "Sweet little Libby" and how beautiful and delicate she was. She compares Libby to a flower that dies too soon in the second stanza and then repeats it in the third. The word "litt .....

.... the fastest 44 cars get to race on Sunday or possibly on Saturday. Saturday the cars have a time called happy hour. Happy hour is when the drivers make last minute changes to the car, or they just mess around and have a happy ol’ time. Sunday is race day. This is what all the training and days of practice are for. Depending on the track, whether it be a short tack, speedway, or superspeedway, the drivers adjust and prepare for the 3 hour drive of 500 miles at 150-200 mph. Superspeedways are driver favorites. Superspeedways are oval tracks that are 2 miles long or more. Drivers perfer these tracks because they don’t have to turn the wheel as .....

.... my soul”(80). Poe describes his affectionate temperament of his character when he writes “my tenderness of heart was even so conspicuous as to make me the jest of my companions”(80). He also characterizes his animal friends as "unselfish" and their love as “self-sacrificing” illustrating to the readers his devotion to them for their companionship. The author uses foreshadowing in the statement “we had birds, goldfish, a fine dog, a rabbit, a small monkey, and a cat”(80). The use of italics hints to the reader of upcoming events about the cat that peaks interest and anticipation. Poe also describes a touch foreshadowing and suspension of disbelief when he .....

.... All these characterize innocence. The end of the poem, which says, "Little Lamb, God bless thee!", shows innocence through the "Little Lamb" and just the mentioning of "God bless." Blake and other transitional writers liked the tranquility, purity, and innocence that they put into their poems. Although all three groups of author's wrote structured poems, Wordsworth was more so than most. He was a first generation writer, and he wrote "I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud." It has four stanzas and a rhyme scheme of AB AB CC for each one. His was a lyric poem, describing a million dandelions in a field. Wordsworth was terrific at putting words together. All gro .....

The poem warns that a loss of the religious values behind chivalry would lead to its ultimate destruction. Although superficially Sir Gawain and the Green Knight appears to be a romantic celebration of chivalry, it contains wide-ranging serious criticism of the system. The poet is showing Gawain's reliance on chivalry's outside form and substance at the expense of the original values of the Christian reli .....
