.... sensualities. The thoroughly intimate encounter with another individual in section five particularly expresses Whitman as a being of desire and libido. Whitman begins his synthesis of the soul and body through sexuality by establishing a relative equality between the two. He pronounces in previous stanzas, "You shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself," and, "Not an inch nor a particle of an inch is vile, and none shall be less familiar than the rest." Here, he lays foundation for the basic egalitarianism with which he treats all aspects of his being for the rest of the .....

.... anger in this situation, his reaction can be justified. First of all, Teiresias’ allegation that Oedipus is the killer is absurd to him since he would never murder a king. Also, it seems logical that Creon would be behind such a scheme since he would be next in line to the throne. Therefore, Oedipus’ bad temper cannot be considered his hamartia. Another characteristic of Oedipus that some people tend to refer to as his hamartia is his murderous temperament. One can see this side of Oedipus when he recounts the story in which he killed the old man in the wagon as wel .....

.... for it is the people, themselves, who impose the “peace and preservation of mankind” (124). One can have perfect freedom as long as one does not disturb others in their state of nature; in this “state of perfect equality ... there is no superiority or jurisdiction of one over another” (124). Men, thereby, have the power to “preserve the innocent and restrain offenders” (124) and punish those who transgress against them and disturb their “state of nature.” Thus, all men are their own “executioner[s] in the law of nature,” or the Law of Reason. While all men are i .....

.... witness to the death of his family, the death of his friends, even the death of his own innocence and his faith in G-d. He saw his family, friends and fellow Jews first severely degraded and then sadistically murdered. He enters the camp a child and leaves a man. At the book’s end, Elie bears little resemblance to the teenage boy who left Sighet almost a year earlier. is a memoir exquisitely written. Wiesel’s eloquence makes his descriptions seem terrifyingly real and repulsive. It is a book about what the Holocaust did, not just to the Jews, but to humanity. People all over .....

.... not find the life for which you are searching for." (34) After Shamash confronts him, Gilgamesh then runs into the god Siduri. Siduri basically tells him the same answer, saying, "You will never find the life for which you are looking for. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping." (35) Gilgamesh still in a conquest to achieve everlasting life, does not believe any of the previous gods, and still wants to see Utnapishtim, to see how he achieved everlasting life.

.... for the negotiation of an alliance. The more the duke aims to cover his traits the more apparent they became. The duke did not intend for his arrogance to be shown as much as it was. The poem had an arrogant tone. He made a point to put emphasis on himself or “I.” The extra comment “since none puts by the curtain I have drawn for you, but I” was not required. He felt the “gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name” should not be equal to lesser gifts from others. The one trait that was the most apparent was his possessiveness. The first line sums it up with, “That’s my la .....

.... doing with my time instead of learning but my parents support and persistence kept my nose to the grindstone. Looking back at those days and being where I am now in my life, striving to become this great mathematician, I can say I have done an enormous 360°. Through my high school career there was one person that really inspired me and gave me this drive that has gotten me here in college today. Everyone else writing this paper is probably saying it was there favorite math teacher or a caring parent but mine was the non-obvious. It was my head football coach. He, Coach Whisman, co .....
