How "First Love" Is Represented By Different Artists
... writes about his father and the
abandonment his family showed him even though he worked so hard to provide for
them. Hayden writes, "…cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday blaze.
No one ever thanked him" (590). Most artists observe the fact that they did not
know of their first loves and do not realize their mistakes with their first
loves until they are grown up and are writing about it. It probably provides
them with a good topic to start writing about in the first place. The lack of
realization seems to be a powerful motivator in the lives of these artists. All
of the artists in the readings seem to have gone through a period of lack of

over his body during all his life, not he." In other words, she is
saying that she will have total control over herself, her husband, and

"Nevertheless, since I know your pleasure I'll satisfy your
physical pleasure." This wa ...

The Crucible: Issues
... of the people of Salem. To them, God seemed almost as a scapegoat. Or someone to blame their actions for or to supposedly listen to answers for. Now I believe in God and I feel that religion can be an important part of anyones life, but these people took it to the maximum and kept on going. God was these peoples life. Beyond that was the endless void of the world that they hadnt experienced. Personally I feel that many of the people in this play had an inner sense of shame and guilt among them but nobody could express it because of the fear of being persecuted. To me that is not a religion. That is a trap. Or a “catch 22” if you might. These people were so cau ...

Joseph Campbell defines as old stories handed down from one generation to the next to help people experience or activate a special feeling or emotion instantly inside of us so we are able to experience life in a more meaningful way. He believed, as most of us would agree, that teach lessons through a positive moral message revealed at the end of each story.
