Men Should Weep

yellow trenches,/raged at his breast, gulped and died,/Do not weep./War is kind./…These men were born to drill and die./Point for them the virtue of slaughter,/…and a field where a thousand corpses lie.” (511). The words ‘war is kind’ are a false comfort to the reader, as they can understand the loss that accompanies war. Countless loved ones are lost to the battlefields and the words that describe war as a glorious fight where men should be honored to die are not enough to overcome the tragedy of

A Woman Who Is a Person in The Story of an Hour      In her book, The Faces of Eve, Judith Fryer writes, "In the last year of the nineteenth century a woman succeeded where men had failed: Kate Chopin created . . . a woman who is a person." Chopin’s short story, "The Story of an Hour," openly portrays the true feelings of a woman who feels trapped inside her marriage. In the period in which she lived, there were only two alternatives for her to achieve the much desired personal freedom—either

examples of a successful husband. Therefore, I believe that Odysseus is not a good partner to Penelope because he is not trustworthy as a husband, he is not present in the relationship, nor is a loving husband. Initially, I think that a good husband should be trustworthy, because in a relationship both partner need to be honest to each other for the relationship to be strong. It wouldn’t be an honest relationship if one person is doing something brined the other person's back. In the same way, Odysseus

period, or the community, prejudice always has been and always will be a factor in society. Lee ultimately reveals the truth of prejudice. Sexism is greatly displayed through powerful word choice and the groundbreaking idea that women should not be judged any more than men for what they say or wear. When Mrs. Dubose passes away, Atticus lectures Scout,¨I just wanted you to see something about her- I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage

again. Going to war has always been an honorable act done by brave men, but it hardly ever ends on a positive note. Writers have used literature to show how harsh war can be on these courageous men. Many authors use imagery, irony, and structure to protest war, and show readers the real meaning behind it. Imagery can show insight on how deadly war is. In “Attack” by Siegfried Sassoon, Sassoon shows how war negatively affects men, saying even the bravest veterans “have faces, masked with fear” (9)

In Plato’s The Republic , Socrates thought that art should be censored because of its heavy influence on men. Writer Alexander Nehamas, on the other hand, feels that one generation's entertainment is the next’s fine art, which he thinks is ridiculous to censor. But the biggest question that remains is: when does art stop being art

towards his men, by not heeding their advice and by not properly mourning their untimely deaths. At Alcinous' court, Odysseus recounts his experience with the Cyclops. The whole trouble with this one eyed monster begins when Odysseus decides to linger in the Cyclops's cave after eating his food, to see "what gifts he would give" (9.258). Instead of welcoming the Achaeans, the monster decides to eat the men who had rudely eaten his food. In sudden shock and horror, Odysseus and his men "wept and cried

human being by another. This begs the question, is murder ever justifiable? Murder is justifiable in cases of self defense or the protection of others, but in the case of Julius Caesar - it is not.. Murdering an innocent person or a group of people should never be condoned. In Julius Caesar, the conspirators acted out of fear for what might possibly come, not out of a need to protect themselves or others from immediate danger. To determine whether murder is justifiable you must look at each situation
