    William Blake’s illuminated manuscripts were published in multiple editions; all of the editions were etched differently than its predecessor. In these illustrations, one finds meaning and value; an inextricable link between these artistic expressions and the text that Blake wrote exists.

    The five Keronians who made up the members of the A.R.M.P.I.T. platoon were seated around the table inside their base as they discussed invasion plans. Or to be more accurate, they were seated at the table in Keroro’s room as he came up with stupid ideas on how to get more Gundams, embarrass Natsumi, get even more Gundams, and create juvenile chaos in general. (Did I mention getting more Gundams?) Giroro growled with annoyance at his leader. They were never going to get anything done! Why the

    This essay will critically discuss and analyse how Descartes makes his argument for the separability of the mind and body in the Meditations on First Philosophy.

    Some people just love to corrupt innocent things, don't they? Scott slammed his car door and stepped into the dim, vacant parking lot. They were just rumors. False ones at that. Of course, bad publicity was enough to close down a family entertainment business and ruin the hopes and dreams of children everywhere. After Scott walked a bit, he looked up at the sign of the pizzeria, which glinted harshly from the sunrise and stung his eyes. Already the building seemed to rot, yet is after tomorrow the

    In 1922, Hermann Hesse set the youth of Germany free with the glorious peace of Siddhartha. Nearly a century later, Chuck Palahniuk opened the eyes of countless Americans with his nihilistic masterpiece, Fight Club. These two novels were written in different times, in different cultures, for different readers, and for different purposes. One is the poster child for love of self and nature; the other focuses on the destruction of both man and culture, yet the two hold a startling similarity in their
