is there, behind the governments, breathing discord.” (28) While the Nazis may have considered groups such as Slavs and blacks untermensch, the only group they deemed worthwhile of wholesale extermination were the Jews. Even those anti-Semites who spurn violence are no less genocidal: to be an anti-Semite is, in Sartre's words, to “prepare the death of the Jew. To be sure, not all the enemies of the Jew demand his death openly, but the measures they propose — all of which aim at his abasement, at

Once again, Brutus’s character growth is being shown in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. At this point, it is before he had killed Caesar and when he just expressed his idea of it. This was a critical period of growth for Brutus. He was left wondering all the possibilities as to what would happen if Caesar’s power got the best of him. He respects Caesar, but he believes that with all the power he will get, he will turn corruptive. He thinks power changes people and that once given, he will take

analyzing Dickinson’s anxious tone and the paraphrases in the poem “If You Were Coming in the Fall,” I can tell that the theme is waiting for someone makes a person anxious. In the poem the quote “I’d brush the summer by [w]ith half a smile and half a spurn” shows that they are not happy. This is because they are not with the person they are waiting for. In addition “If I could see you in a year, I’d wind the months in balls,” shows that the person is so anxious they would let the

In this selection from Why School, Mike Rose expresses his belief that the economic and competitive aspects of the modern education system limits true intellectual growth and development. Rose acknowledges that economics have always been a driving force for the brevity and efficiency of the education system, essentially forcing in as much material as possible into the developing minds of children. To mass distribute the most valuable knowledge, a system has been created, like most economic systems

He said, “not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more,” as well as “I know no personal cause to spurn at him, But for the general.” Although, Brutus thinks he’s doing good for the sake of Rome, his acts out of his own opinion. It was Cassius who persuaded Brutus into killing him and he sent letters to Brutus posing as a citizen concerned about Caesar's

At the start of act two It's hard to discern whose intentions are worthy, but with deep investigation Brutus proves to have the best motivations. Brutus’s actions have shown that he doesn't just want to slotter Caesar because he doesn't like him or because of something he has against him. Early on in the second act Brutus and Lucius are speaking to each other about the conspiracy, when Lucius leaves and Brutus is left alone we, as the readers, are able to see the actors true heart in the area. Brutus

“The Scarlet Letter” by Nathanial Hawthorne and “The Coquette; or, The History of Eliza Wharton” by Hannah Webster Foster at first glance may seem to be entirely unrelated tales. “The Scarlet Letter” is the story of Hester Prynne, an adulteress who is forced to raise her daughter on her own and to wear a scarlet A to mark her indignity. “The Coquette” is a fictionalized account of a socially elite woman, Eliza Wharton, who dies after giving birth to a stillborn, illegitimate child. Although the fate

“As if a doe who spurns her own fawn will be born.” (line 11) The use of the word “spurn” suggests that the people were not only living in ignorance, but rejected the knowledge that would help them. ‘As if they were shooting themselves in the foot.’ The

“Woman in her greatest perfection was made to serve and obey man.” This statement by the Scottish protestant leader John Knox in The First Blast of the Trumpet shows the role that Elizabethan women were expected to fulfil. Women in the Elizabethan era and therefore in the time when Shakespeare wrote his plays were subservient to men and had no will and choice of their own. As they were not allowed to go to school and enter university, they remained completely dependent on their male relatives, believing
