Humanity, at its roots are a skittish, distrustful bunch, whom given the proper provocation, can lash out at their closest friends or form pacts with their mortal enemies. This is the nature that Thomas Hobbes describes in his reading “Leviathan”, which is his thesis on the nature of humans in regards to one and other, as well as their motives for the treatment they give. In mythology, a Leviathan is a massive sea beast described in the Christian Bible, and in his novel Hobbes draws parallels…

Bishop illustrates how the fish has struggled through physical difficulties while using personification when she states “While his gills were breathing in the terrible oxygen —the frightening gills, fresh and crisp with blood, that can cut so badly” (Bishop 402).

Throughout the poem, the fish has suffered a great amount of pain in it’s lifetime. Another symbol…

inversely thrives when applied to Brave New World. The reason Psychological Criticism works so well is because of the way the story emerges the reader into perspectives and experiences from numerous characters. Each of these characters is a piece, cut from a literary template that can be dissected in order to gain a psychological understanding for Aldous Husley’s life experiences. By analyzing the way different characters react to the same situation the reader gains a better comprehension for…

Part of the beauty of modern cinema lies within its ability to visually depict the culture and society of any given period of time; it can combine history or science with action and emotion to create an authentic ambience.

Children and young adults face the challenge of steering away from being a coward and taking shortcuts in a corrupt society. The importance of not…

It is inserted into the equation simply to give a positive solution at the origin; we are artificially creating a solution: 2x1 + 4x2 - s1 + A1 = 16 2(0) + 4(0) - 0 + A1 = 16 A1 = 16 The artificial variable is somewhat analogous to a booster rocket—its purpose is to get us off the ground; but once we get started, it has no real use and thus is discarded. The artificial solution helps get the simplex process started, but we do not want it to end up in the optimal solution, because it has no real…
