.... Candide's optimism), Lord Pococurante is unhappy with life because he is supremely jaded with what the world has to offer. He is thus Candide's opposite as much as Martin, though the opposition is based upon the noble's jaded state versus Candide's naive one. By the book's conclusion Candide is no longer convinced of Pangloss' philosophy, throwing out systematic optimism. Voltaire has thus used Candide to show the effects of optimism in practice on one's life, and also to reject the theory, effectively showing Voltaire's opinion on this philosophy popularized by Alexander Pope in his Essay on Man. Candide's esteemed teacher of m .....

.... fix this story would be to re-write it. The second story I chose to write about is called "Horses of the Night" by Margaret Laurence. I did enjoy reading this short story dipite the fact it seem to jump around alot; it would talk about somthing fairly in-depth then just suddenly jump to a different subject or time-era of the story. The author seem to show very good writing ability however so I think perhaps she did this on purpose either just for somthing different or maybe to give you a break from what she was currently writing about. And finally the third and personal favourite story i chose to include in thi .....

.... apparent conflicts or ambiguities. Tan's use of Confucianism may reveal her hypothesis of how a women's version of that patriarchal ethico-moral-ritual tradition might be passed down from mother to daughter and carried to America. Just as in the Confucian ritual system, very little of the mother-tradition in the text is told explicitly from mother to daughter: ritual actions are supposed to be observed, absorbed, read, and understood in order to be transformed, preserved and handed down in turn. I. From a Taoist perspective, the fact that The Joy Luck Club is divided into four sections of four stories each, about four .....

.... and his crew, some how or another, got into battles with the inhabitants of the islands. While he is in Hades, Elpenor, his dead crew member, tells Odysseus to bury him or he may “draw up God’s vengeance upon (him)!”(125). When Odysseus leaves Hades he goes back to bury his friend. This is the first time that we see Odysseus paying respect to one of his crew after their death. The many times before when Odysseus’ crew members would die, the death was taken lightly and casually overlooked. Following his decent, Odysseus rarely drew his sword unless it is necessary and just. He is still as powerful and as cunnin .....

.... former out of burying Polyneicês because the former would be killed. Of course, as head strong as Antigone is, she wouldn’t be talked out of breaking the law that Creon passed. Even though Antigone knows the consequences, she buries her brother. She has done this because Antigone would rather die in honor than live a life of shame. This tragic flaw, Antigone’s obstinancy influence many of her choices through life while also blocking many opportunities she has. Antigones stubborness throughout the play not only influenced her choices in her lifetime, it also causes the downfall of many others in the kingdom of Thebes. The for .....

.... uses the propaganda technique in an uncaring and very negative way/ An example of this in the novel is when napoleon blatantly runs a rival pig, snowball, off the farm./ napoleon even uses his trained dogs to scare snowball away. from this point on, he would blame snowball for everything that went wrong on the farm. The animals are so brainwashed that they believe snowball has actaully done all these things. This is how propaganda overpowers the animals on the farm. Orwell's refrain is constant:the power struggles between napoleon and the rest of the animals on the farm represent the negative way humans abuse power and propaganda. .....

.... and tempests than almanacs can report. This cannot be cunning in her; if it be she makes a shower of rain as well as Jove. (I, ii, 147-152) After Antony reveals that he has just heard news of his wife's death, we are once again offered an example of Enobarbus' freedom to speak his mind, in that he tells Antony to "give the gods a thankful sacrifice" (I.ii.162), essentially saying that Fulvia's death is a good thing. Obviously, someone would never say something like this unless they were in very close company. While acting as a friend and promoter of Antony, Enobarbus lets the audience in on some of the myth and legend surro .....

.... of the characters show the worthlessness of materialism, the futile quest of Myrtle and Gatsby, and how America ‘s moral values had diminished- through the actions of Daisy, Tom, Jordan, and Gatsby’s party guests. Despite his newly acquired fortune, Gatsby still cannot afford his one true wish, therefore he cannot buy everything which is important to Daisy. "..Their love is founded upon feelings from the past, these give it, notwithstanding Gatsby’s insistence on being able to repeat the past , an inviolability. It exists in the world of money and corruption but is not of it." (Lewis 48 ) In the novel The G .....
