... social structures throughout history, has concluded that the influences property has had on reshaping societies and vice versa can teach the historian many things about both the society being studied and the environment in which it strove to survive. To Morgan, the "germ" of the institution of property slowly infected many different societies in many different parts of the world. His teleological approach states that due to the "unity of mankind" various technological innovations, which gave rise to the ever-growing availability of property, allowed social change to occur in many areas of the globe independently. Every area, went through its own version of evo ...

... those men who you had to admire. You HAD to love him, if you knew him. The Intended said, "she had been worthy of him" (248). She speaks of him as almost a god. The Intended promises Marlow she was worthy of him, she had all his noble confidence. Their engagement wasn’t approved because Kurtz wasn’t wealthy enough. Kurtz had the ability to draw "men towards him by what was best in them" (249). This is the gift of the great. Kurtz was a great man. He was a born leader. The Kurtz prior to the journey seems to be a man with a heart of gold. "His goodness shone in every act" (250). But in actuality his soul was conformed by ...

... realizing that the doctor might amputate his hand, he asks his sister to make sure that it does not happen. By the time the doctor arrives, it is too late and the boy's hand is already lost. When the doctor gives him anaesthetic, he falls asleep and never wakes up again. The last sentence of the poem, "since they (the boys family and the doctor) were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" shows how although the boys death is tragic, people move on with their life in a way conveying the idea that people only care for themselves. Frost uses different stylistic devices throughout this poem. He is very descriptive using things such as imagery and personificatio ...

... about how the black behaved. Griffin could look like a black man but he may not have been able to act like a black man or have the mindset of a black man at that time. Griffin could get food or shelter as a white man anywhere by paying money, but as a black man he could be cold, starving in a rich area of town, and wouldn't be able to get food or shelter. Griffin also didn't know how to respond to white people of the time, so he would probably have to talk to black people to learn that. I also after his story was published there would probably be retaliation from hate groups. I also want to know why Griffin met with the Federal Bureau of Investigation men ...

... He then acknowledges that this plan is irksome. Descartes states that he is like a prisoner, one that is afraid to realize that he is dreaming this life. Descartes' argument should bring us to raise questions of our own about what we believe to be truths. In the light of his arguments it is hard to firmly root any of our preconceived knowledge. He shows us all of the difficulties there are in trying to do so. I do find his arguments convincing, for I have often found myself in life asking the same type of questions. I have never found any real answers for these questions. None at least that I can call knowledge in a true sense. To tell you now why I think Descartes ...

... to be dull and watered-down, over-edited, and false sounding. Although the first passage could be improved by explaining where he was, what the disaster entailed, and who the funny-looking guy was, its honesty far outweighs the literary correctness of the second passage. Once again, in Hall’s analysis of the narratives of Nina Chan, he seems to be putting too much focus on what is correct, and not enough on what makes an interesting work of literature. The impromptu theme does rely heavily on clichés in the first few sentences; however, the narrative uses so much language in avoiding the clichés that the first six paragraphs in the 13-paragraph essay R ...

... to take her virtue, and even more terrifying, the possibility that a Brahman may evoke similar feeling from her. Even though Dhowli is not permitted to engage in the same traditions the other Dusads do, she still longs for them. Alas she is a lowly Dusad widow, an “untouchable,” and she knows deep within her soul that she will never experience any of these glorious things again. And even as she realizes this, her mind insists that there is a man, a Brahman, standing before her relentlessly proclaiming his love and desire for her. Despite the knowledge that this can not be and against all that she believes, she finds herself surrendering to her own desires. Th ...

... According to "germ" theory, everything in America -- from culture to government -- would find its roots directly in European heritage. Turner disagreed with the "germ" theory, believing that environmental influences were much more important in historical development that hereditary influences. Turner could not account for the history of his own state of Wisconsin purely in terms of "germ" theory because of the profound influence of Native American Indian culture in the region. Turner said that "the frontier divided the primitive from the civilized, the natural from the institutional, the savage from the cultured, the elemental from the complex." (Simonson, p.9 ...

... trying to look important and powerful. One corner of the bar is a haven for thieves and petty criminals.(pg.7) In another corner large men wearing three-piece suits drinking their usual liquor and smoking endlessly strive to show their tough enforcement side.(pg.7) The real authoritative figure in town though is a man nameEdmund J. Dubuque. Also known as 'Da boot' because of his club foot, everyone in town either owes him, is being protected by him or felt his punishment. Due to his eminent figure, Mr. Dubuque feels that he not only controlled the bar but owns the town.(pg.9) Money leads to power and in the race to become the 'ultimate force', it is acqui ...
