storytelling and entertainment, people read books to learn life lessons and understand morals and values. People read stories and take into account what the characters learn, and apply those lessons to their own lives. In The Once and Future King, T. H. White teaches us three major themes; that while the justice system gives people a chance of being proven innocent, it is not always fair, that one can not always trust their family, and ultimately, no matter how hard one tries to prevent the…

The other original members of the first board of directors included co-founder Murray Rothbard, Libertarian scholar Earl Ravenal, and businessmen David H. Padden and Sam H. Husbands Jr. At the request of Rothbard, the institute changed its name in 1976 to Cato Institute (Cato, n.d.). This was named after the Cato's Letters, a series of British essays written in the early 18th century by John Trenchard and Thomas…

Rashaun Richardson February 17, 2016 In the story, “Shooting an Elephant”, the narrator is contradictory in his feelings, by supporting one set of people, the Burmans, but serving another, the British. The reader infers that he can’t decide who to fight for because in the text the narrator explains the treatment of the Burmans by the English, but then tells the treatment of himself by the Burmans. For example, the narrator states that the treatment of the Burman prisoners were…

The Inescapable Void and Ex Oblivione No splendid paradise, no eternal torment, no divine deity; only oblivion and an inescapable void. This is H.P. Lovecraft’s Ex Oblivione prose poem’s main message, but horror enthusiasts are left wondering why he chose to convey this message in particular. Some might say that this was meant to be a work of pure fiction; a poem that does not parallel Lovecraft’s life in any way. Others might say that this poem is a commentary on Lovecraft’s beliefs on…

Often times, science fiction presents views of time travel that are inconsistent with the philosophical notions of time travel. Although A and B theory as well as Growing Block Theory are highly debated, for a science fiction film to gain philosophical credibility it must commit fully to one of these. I maintain that the time travel presented in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is consistent with B theory as presented by D.C Williams and directly follows David Lewis’ notion of time…

Statistics do reveal to the true identity of a man. In “The Unknown Citizen,” W.H. Auden presents a Big Brother like state that knows everything about its citizens except for what really matters; this state views individuality as irrelevant and judges citizens based solely on their relation to society as a whole. The bureaucrat leaves out important emotional events involving the unknown citizen that seem vital to the judging of his character. Auden uses a speaker whose viewpoints contradict his…

Second the Eloi are a result of humanity making everything so simple, safe and easy that they have no need for military, violence, or competition making them week, lazy and stupid. Last he believes that the Morlocks were once slaves to the Eloi, being the “working class”, but took revenge on them and prey and terrorize them. All theories are developed…

It is fascinating to find that things that apparently seem to be so different can be developed in such way that they sustain the same point of view. If we think about the career of a very tall, basketball player; people attraction to voyeurism; the career of a country music singer who beats records in discs’ selling, and the use of laugh tracks in comedy sitcom, it looks like there can not be a strong connection between them. Now if we consider that the public is looking for this basketball…
