The Ultimate Escape

I wasn't interested in books when I was very young, except for an interest in comic books. Maybe that's because I was never really read to consistently. My mother claims to have read to me some when I was younger, but I don't remember it. Giving birth to five kids in seven years, and having one die at three days old, sort of cut into her time for entertaining me with thrilling renditions of The Cat in the Hat.

What causes a person to commit suicide? This has been an age-old question that is never easily (if ever) answered. Literature has been a great source in which to address the complexity of such a horrific self-act. Two exemplary dramatic literary authors tackled this subject head on within two years of eachother in Henrik Ibsen’s 1890 “Hedda Gabbler,” and August Strindberg’s 1888 “Miss Julie.” A woman’s life in the late 19th century was very difficult.

The goal of philosophy is to help humans seek the ultimate truth to questions that orbit the thought of knowledge. One questions that many philosophers are immersing themselves to answer is whether or not there is a universal good and bad that is true for all people, cultures, and time periods. Mark Twain, the author of the novel Huckleberry Finn, provides what could be an ultimate truth to this question through the actions of his character. During the novel, as Twain’s character, Huck, helps an

In the novel, The Chrysalids by John Wyndham, the trust, and loyalty that David’s group and allies demonstrated leads to their survival and ultimate escape from Waknuk. Examples of trust and loyalty are demonstrated leading to the group's survival are allies like Uncle Axle and Rosalind’s mother supporting the group. Another example of trust and loyalty leading to the survival the group is how all the members were loyal enough to choose to keep their secret (even though some of them were tortured

avatar Krishna brought up Hindu concept of atman saying, “the Eternal [atman] in man cannot die”. Hindus believe in brahman, the essence of life. The brahman in humans is the soul, or atman.

Paul’s epiphany is essentially realizing that without money

government, leads to her ultimate destruction. Moira in the pre-chaotic world, was a lesbian, logical, stood up for herself, and was a feminist, which in the world of Gilead, is no longer acceptable.

fighter is placed in a position, from which he cannot escape. The fighter can tap-out when he cannot escape from a submission or when he can no longer defend himself. Having learned the many ways to win in MMA it is now important to learn the roots of the sport. Mixed martial arts go all the way back to the first Olympic games of 776 b.c. (“What is Pankration”).
