Number of words: 2167 | Number of pages: 8.... during this time shows it was much
more then just sexual, and the sex was much more meaningful. After the
death of his wife in 1617, Donne was devastated and although he had already
been involved in the church even becoming an ordained minister for the
Church of England (Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia). His relationship with
God became stronger almost as a replacement for his one true love Anne. At
times in his poetry it is even difficult to tell if he is talking about God or his lover.

Love In The Renaissance
Number of words: 779 | Number of pages: 3.... had a very powerful way of controlling a man's heart and mind, and I also plan to show that love was a reoccurring theme of many of the poets writing during the Renaissance.
Wyatt and Surrey were two contemporary poets that wrote on the issue of love. Both of the poets derived some of their ideas concerning love from such works as Petrarch's Rime 140, and they also used each other to write about how they felt about love. In both of these sonnets Wyatt and Surrey wrote about how the issue of love labored heavily on their minds and in their hearts. Wyatt's poem "The Long Love That in My Thought Doth Harbor" and in Surrey's poem "Lo .....

Hamlets Madness
Number of words: 742 | Number of pages: 3.... Shakespeare incorporates a theme of madness with two characters: one truly mad, and one only acting mad to serve a motive. The madness of Hamlet is frequently disputed. This paper argues that the contrapuntal character in each play, namely Ophelia in Hamlet and Edgar in King Lear, acts as a balancing argument to the other character's madness or sanity. King Lear's more decisive distinction between Lear's frailty of mind and Edgar's contrived madness works to better define the relationship between Ophelia's breakdown and Hamlet's "north-north-west" brand of insanity. Both plays offer a character on each side of sanity, but in Ha .....

Hansel And Gretel Man Vs Women
Number of words: 1185 | Number of pages: 5.... All of the adults in the story treat children as though they are property. They use them for what they are good for. "Little child, Little nubkin, Sweet as fudge,You are my blitz.
I will spit on you for luck, For you are better than money" (Sexton, 101)
In this quote Sexton is saying how parents have children in order to take advantage of the benefits of having children. If you have children society treats you much differently. You are more like the typical American family. Children can be used to draw attention to their parents. People may approach and be very kind and forgiving because you have children. They understand the .....

A Utopian Society
Number of words: 933 | Number of pages: 4.... afraid of the rich, and know all of the power they hold.
Teaching children while they are young is the key to a successful
utopian society. This is why isolation is needed. If a Utopian society is
started in the middle of England, children would have too much influence
from surrounding territories. An island would be the only way to maintain
a Utopian society, when it comes to children, for they are their future.
Children are not the only ones that would need their ideas protected. On
an island, they can see any foreign ship that is coming their way. Then,
the proper officials can greet these newcomers, not citizens, and see .....

These programs would be designed to help these students get a job in what they are most interested in doing. By offering these worst troublemakers alternatives of being in jail or working, city officials hope this program will give these troubled teens a better choice then being in a gang or being in jail. There are more ways to deal with the issue of trouble-makers but these seem to work the best in Southern California. I feel that all children even the troublemakers deserve a second .....
