.... Patrick Henry was driven on sheer hatred. Using some ideas from Jonathan Edwards, Jefferson derived ideas and statements based on the Enlightenment and Edwards’ sermon. Edwards frightened people into conversion, as Jefferson frightened the King with the consequences that could be suffered. The King and government were in debt as much as it was, so refusing another political battle in this way was a wise choice. Henry stated in regards to the president, “Sir, we have done everything that could be done to advent the storm which is now coming on.” Using the people as a backbone, Henry explained that the people weren’t .....

.... right and wrong.” He maintained that suicide cannot be regarded as an adequate response to the “experience of absurdity.” He says that suicide is an admission of incapacity, and such an admission is inconsistent with that human pride to which Camus openly appeals. Camus states, “there is nothing equal to the spectacle of human pride.” Furthermore, Camus also dealt with the topic of revolution in his essay The Rebel. Camus rejected what he calls “metaphysical revolt,” which he sees as a “radical refusal of the human condition as such,” resulting either in suicide or in a “demonic attempt to remake the world i .....

.... Minnesota, on February 7, 1885, and was educated at Yale University. From 1907 to 1916 he was a newspaper reporter and a literary editor. In Main Street (1920) Lewis first developed the theme that was to run through his most important work: the monotony, emotional frustration, and lack of spiritual and intellectual values in American middle-class life. His novel Babbitt (1922) mercilessly characterizes the small-town American businessman who conforms blindly to the materialistic social and ethical standards of his environment; the word "Babbitt," designating a man of this type, has become part of the language. In Arrowsmith (1 .....

The Bronte children's imaginations transmuted a set of wooden soldiers into characters in a series of stories they wrote about the imaginary kingdom of Angria-the property of Charlotte and Branwell-and the kingdom of Gondal-which belonged to Emily and Anne. A hundred tiny handwritten volumes (started in 1829) of the chronicles of Angria survive, but nothing of the Gondal saga (started in 1834), except some of Emily's poems. The relationship of these stories to the sisters' later novels is a matter of much interest to scholars. In the 1840s Charlotte's discovery of Emily's poems led to the decision to ha .....

.... complete trust in them. However it is no small leap of faith to presume that everything our senses tells us is false. In fact, it seems almost preposterous to say such a thing. But as points out, we have dreams regularly and in these dreams everything we experience is a figment of our imagination, or at least not real in the physical sense. So, at least according to , it is reasonable to doubt everything our senses tell us, for the time being. Now, using similar logic, we can say that everything we have learned from physics, astronomy, medicine, and other such fields are all doubtful. even believed we could say that suc .....
