My interpretation of the story A Rose for Emily,
is that of a women from the old south or reference
to other people from the old south that are trying
to hold their dignity of the southern gothic
heritage. It seems that Miss Emily had been raised

People Who Are Suffering Die With Dignity
1,216 words
When we hear the word euthanasia, most of us
automatically associate it with the act of
murder-suicide. We also immediately refer to the
so-called Dr. Kevorkian who has personally
assisted suicides. Euthanasia may not be our
natural way to die, but who determines what that
is? One would think that the only person, who
could decide if euthanasia is the right or wrong
way to die, would be the person directly affected
by it. It varies from country to country whether
euthanasia is accepted. In the U...

African Descent Black People

Black Consciousness has been defined as an
attitude of the mind and a way of life. Therefore,
the purpose of teaching Black Consciousness was to
conquer feelings of black inferiority and replace
it with a new solid social identity which
encouraged black pride and independence from white
oppression. Africans should reject the myths from
which Apartheid was conceived, where blacks were
depicted as inferior, savage, simple and having a
primitive culture which needed to be modernized.

Cloned Humans Human Cloning

One of the points mentioned in the essay is about
a violation to human dignity. Theologians have
said that cloning would be a violation to dignity
and that cloned humans would be treated with less
respect than other human beings. Macklin contends
that clones would share the same rights and
dignities as the rest of us. She states that a
lawyer-ethicist once said cloning is a violation
of the "right to genetic identity" (603). Macklin

Good And Evil Beowulf Senses Hero

Who is the real hero in Beowulf or Grendel?
Grendel? A monster from the depths who consumes
humans as a daily diet and strives to find a
meaning in life? Or Beowulf? A warrior raised by a
king whose arrogance and courage landed him a
throne of his own? Points of view in both stories
are very distinct. Grendel seemed much more
intellectual from his point of view. The author
did not portray him as a cold-blooded monster as
you would expect. Beowulf's character was

Child Of The City Bigger
1,194 words
In Native Son, Wright employs Naturalistic
ideology and imagery, creating the character of
Bigger Thomas, who seems to be composed of a mass
of disruptive emotions rather than a rational mind
joined by a soul. This concept introduces the
possibility that racism is not the only message of
the novel, that perhaps every person would feel as
isolated and alone as Bigger does were he trapped
in such a vicious cycle of violence and
oppression. Bigger strives to find a place for
himself, but the blindn...

Samuel Maio Garrett Hongo, for example, has used
in his two books Yellow Light (1982) and The River

poems that are less narrative and more reliant on
images... Perhaps, too, they are more given to
sound. The principal concerns of Yellow Light, a
book of carefully ordered poems, are: the
discovery of the history of the Issei (the first
generation of Japanese immigrants to America), the
forging of myths regarding the Issei and
succeeding families, an...
