Over the centuries, the concept of a hero has changed immensely. Scott LaBarge, ethics professor at Santa Clara University, said that the Greeks thought “a hero was a mortal who had done something so far beyond the normal scope of human experience that… he deserved worship like that due the gods.” Now, heroes are anything from firefighters to war heroes, when previously they were warriors and kings. Beowulf, an epic hero of the sixth century, is unquestionably different in comparison to his…

During wars, everyone is but a chess piece, a pawn ready to sacrifice itself for the greater good. As a result, people lose their humanity, becoming one of five million bodies. In World War I especially, lieutenants and generals often expended many soldiers, hoping to receive glory or recognition for their actions, without thinking about the loss of personality and unique traits. Although technologies had advanced, these generals still fought wars in a medieval way. However, following World War…

aspects that make her a round character helped her to achieve her goal and be one of the few community survivors. Keith, as well as the other flat characters in the novel, like Joanne, Harry, and Corey though are often overlooked as personality less chess pieces, all serve a greater purpose as well. It is easy to say that round characters are better than their flat counterparts, but in reality they both have distinct roles. Flat characters are often the people that get the round character to…

Detective stories are one of the most complicated genres there are. With a good detective story comes many aspects: a good crime, a thorough investigation, some red herrings to throw the reader off, and a lot of action. But, most of all, detective stories need a good and qualified detective at the helm. Easily the most famous of all detectives in the genre and possibly the world is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. Being the most enduring character of detective stories, he is known for…

It is a challenging process just trying to get all group members to meet and once you do there is always the chance that one person changes their mind or forget, this results in slowing down the group and overall just making people annoyed. While working in my group I noticed several different concepts that had been discussed within the class occur in my…

She just liked the way they all looked in the back row.” (Salinger 36) Holden admired how Jane kept her kings in the back row. Keeping kings in the back row gives the player no chance of winning. You need to move your kings forward to capture the other players pieces.…
