The Deliberate Stranger

Theodore Robert "Ted" Bundy originally Theodore Robert Cowell was one of the most notorious American serial killers in history. Ted Bundy was born November 24, 1946, in Burlington, Vermont. Ted wasn’t the usual blessing to his mother. Eleanor Cowell was twenty-two years old when she gave birth to Ted, also out of wedlock. Ted’s grandparents were very strict and religious and Eleanor was scared of being shun by the family. She delivered the child at a home for unwed mothers in Vermont and later on

Some lives are ended brutally and deliberately, and other are simply overwhelmed by the harsh conditions. While the main focus of Burial rites is the impact of deliberate death, we also see how this society faces less dramatic deaths in this environment. Kent also displays how life is lived in this part of Iceland around 1830, and how deliberate death affects the way people lived. While death is an obvious focus of Burial Rites, this novel has meaningful things to say about

O’Mahony, director of Go Back to Where You Came from (Go Back), developed this reality styled documentary during the growing resentment towards refugees and Asylum seekers from the Australian community. Through the deliberate constructions of Raye and Raquel, O’Mahony demonstrates that confronting experiences can be catalysed by self-discovery and how prejudice opinions can lead from fear of the unknown. He further highlights how revaluating our opinions results in embracing

is, “Now’s the time, now they’ve enjoyed their meal/to probe our guests and find out who they are. Strangers—friends, who are you?”(34) This is not the last time that hospitality will be so deliberately prioritized. Even taking reference from the myth of Baucis and Philemon, we see the very same display of welcoming shown, because of the common understanding amongst Ancient Grecians that all strangers are potential Gods. As Telemachus moves on, he greets King Menelaus who welcomes him in the very same

The seven rooms are a significant part to the theme of the story. In the story, Poe says, “...the moveable embellishments

The Stranger was written by the French author Albert Camus, and was first published in 1942 in its indigenous French. It’s described as being the most widely-read French novel of the twentieth century, and has sold millions of copies in Britain and the United States alone. It’s known by two titles; the other being The Outsider. The backstory to this is very interesting but, more importantly, the subtle difference in meaning between titles suggests certain resultant translative idiosyncrasies when

In my opinion, “thinking” is a deliberate response to the person’s question. Even though our logic has many variations, the outcome would have an abundance of answers. Knowing that our mind develops vast amount of interpretation, we have a different mindset with our response whether it is Natural or Critical Thinking. Natural Thinking is identified a mental

To what extent are we all ‘strangers to ourselves’, even in our own countries? Answer with reference to Kristeva’s book. Exile, the reality and practice of being barred from a native country, has prolifically influenced many philosophers’ theoretical writings. Indeed, Julia Kristeva being in exile from her native Bulgaria is a foreigner in an unascertained land. Being an outcast influence’s her philosophical, political and sociological extended essay Strangers to Ourselves published in 1991. The

could also happen within the chimp community: The part that always shocked me was the inter-community violence among the chimps: the patrols and the vicious attacks on strangers that lead to death. It’s an unfortunate parallel to human behavior – they have a dark side just as we do. We have less excuse because we can deliberate, so I believe only we are capable of true calculated evil (Jane Goodall). Basing on Dr. Henry Jekyll’s Full Statement Of The Case, last chapter of Robert Louis Stevenson’s

assertion is particularly interesting because of the way in which Hitchcock portrays homosexuals. Almost always the homosexuals are the villains or the ones doing something evil, vile, or wrong. As these are Hitchcock’s films, one may assume that his deliberate inclusion of these types of characters would automatically mean that he is simply another homophobic American, but the truth is quite the opposite. In fact, Hitchcock worked with many queer individuals throughout the span of his career such as Montgomery
