The two sides came together to celebrate and the bitterness and animosity that had existed between the two sides disappeared. Harry noticed that, "The war, it seemed, had almost completely…

Complacency is a known enemy but in many ways an invisible one. It will come and go and yet the effects will not always be apparent. This trait is not a result of any personality inadequacy or carelessness toward obligations. Complacency takes place when people are content with their current accomplishments. It ensues when the work becomes tedious and there in no ambition to achieve anymore. When this occurs, the desire to stay ahead naturally subsides and the internal drive has come to a halt.…

Since the time of great antiquity, heroes emerge in both history and literature across the global arena. Historically, a hero will surface immediately to counteract disputes and clashes without any adjournment. In Persian and English medieval literature, too, the presence of heroes is inevitable. Heroes (e.g. Beowulf, Sir Gawain, Rostam, Sohrab, Sekander, etc.), both, historical and literary, share common features, such as selflessness and compassion for their people. Outsiders, however, are not…

The basis for ordering actions as righteous and godly are illustrated though Esther’s character change where her fear is directed toward God. In the beginning of the book, Esther listens to Mordecai’s advice to hid her identity. Esther’s change in character occurs at the end of chapter 4, where Esther replies to Mordechai with a command. She says, “…gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will…

After conducting further research on this, I learned that Persians begin preparing…

All plastic is oil. Most paints and all pesticides are made from oil. Everything from toothpaste to tooth brushes are made from oil and there are seven gallons of oil in every tire. There is absolutely nothing anywhere in any combination that will replace the assembly built by fossil fuels…..nothing at all. Peak oil is probably now very easy to explain; much easier than it was a long time ago. People have felt what $147 a barrel of oil feels like. Essentially, peak oil is like a bell curve, if…

The portrayal of sorrow in ‘’The Last Night’’ and ‘’Refugee Blues’’ varies between each piece. In Refugee Blues it describes how the Jewish were treated and rejected even when they are in times of hardship. Similarly the Last Night also focuses on the innocence of the Jews; it portrays the Jewish people in their last glimpse of freedom before they reach the concentration camps, and compels the dehumanisation of the children as well as the adults. The portrayal of rejection and how they were…

As a crucial center of trade among the major cities of the world, Venice came to be known as a land of indulgence and debauchery. Trading with considerable frequency is one reason that the Venetians gained such a unique reputation. For example, gambling was a natural and frequent occurrence in Venice and the city contained an estimated amount of 20,000 courtesans during the Elizabethan era. Despite the constant promiscuous actions, a large portion of the Venetians were religious, Roman Catholic…
