same routine everyday. Another unconscious desire that comes to light once Harold starts hearing Karen is his longing for love. When he first met Ana Pascal (Maggie Gyllenhaal) he came to her bakery to audit her. He “wasn't prone to fantasies and so he tried his best to remain professional. But, of course, failed. He couldn't help but imagine Ms. Pascal...immersed in a tub, shaving her legs” (Forster). Karen narrates his innermost thoughts and reveals that he yearns for love and…

Indies. He was first bought by Michael Pascal and during those years, he heard about Christianity and even started to learn how to read and write. This was very rare because the one thing that Whites were not allowed to do to Blacks was teach them how to read and write, but they were allowed to rape, murder, and sell them. The Whites were afraid that teaching the slaves would give too much power to them. Because Equiano began to ponder about his freedom, Pascal cruelly sold him to another slave…

“People are usually more convinced by reasons they discovered themselves than by those found out by others.” This quote by French philosopher Blaise Pascal explains the success of any good speaker. They have the ability to make the audience adopt the ideas as their own. In the play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by Shakespeare, this remains true. Julius Caesar is murdered by conspirators who claim to be his friend. The idea, spawned by Cassius, has been taken over by Brutus and together they have…

Equiano. In that house, Equiano mentioned that he received well-treat that made he “forget that I was a slave” (54). It was a small moment of happiness after the time he was kidnaped that he received the love from other people.

The first interesting thing attracts me in this article is its title --- “Gay Bars and Broadway: They Go Together”. I think “gay” is a sensitive but controversial topic. And I am a person who never go to gay bar, but it doesn't mean, I oppose homosexuality. On the contrary, I think they are brave, they do not mind how people think about them, just be who they are.

Cornelius Jansen (1585-1638) [Aquoi, Louvain, Paris, Ypres]. Jansen tended to support the Augustinians in a struggle against the Jesuits, whom he accused of granting absolution without sufficient regard for the disposition of penitents. He maintained that the utter corruption of human nature made man helpless, without free will, and completely dependent upon the grace of God for salvation.
