In the essay, “Just Take Away Their Guns”, James Q. Wilson a Management and Policy professor at UCLA, argues that legally owned guns are not the problem, in fact the real problem lies with society ignoring the usage of illegal guns. The purpose of this essay is to convey to society that gun crimes can be stopped before a shot is fired, that it does not entitle a huge stack of forms at the local gun store. Wilson effectively argues that legally owned guns are necessary for citizens to protect…

Madeleine Treneer English essay: What is the role of religion in Silas Marner? Throughout George Eliot's novel Silas Marner, religion plays a fundamental role in Eliot's portrayal of the relationship between community and the individual, specifically in its protagonist's journey from despair to renewal. As the novel progresses, the author presents us with roughly three representations of spirituality. The worst state of affairs is represented in the Calvinistic evangelism of Lantern Yard,…

Good Man, Brooks highlights the necessity of people to “Put hand in hand land over” (17) to resurrect peaceful faith. The internal rhyme between hand and land interacts with the allusory nature of The Good Man’s title, as both reference the Good Samaritan parable, a story told by Jesus with the moral of loving one’s neighbor as oneself. Hence, both emphasize the complete importance of following this principle. The speaker in My Dreams, My Works furthers this proposal; as one of Brooks’ soldier…

The investigators told the press that Moore had arranged the purchase of two young girls. One was described as “so little and so childish that she wept when they took her from one house to another because she had to leave her Teddy bear behind.” However, it was all a ruse as the two “girls” turned out to be experienced prostitutes who were 23 and 25 years old. Also, the ladies weren’t forced to do anything. One of them testified, “All I remember is he asked us to go to Seattle, made arrangements…

During the end of my senior year in High School, an opportunity arose to travel to New York City, with my friend Zach. My school’s basketball team was participating in a National tournament at Yeshiva University, where my friend Zach’s brother had an apartment nearby in Washington Heights. Hearing about the safety issues in the Heights, my parents didn’t want me roaming around the city without any adult supervision. With the backing of my Uncle Richard, who live in the Upper East Side, I began…

Throughout the poem “Alone” by Maya Angelou, the speaker implies that no one can last long in the world with no one on his or her side. The poem starts off as the speaker yearns for a home where she can quench her thirst and where food is always offered, then soon realises that she and everyone who is on their own cannot live with joy for long, since time will soon leave that joy behind. Even the rich, who have all the wealth in the world, cannot survive alone, as happiness is an emotion…

Scholars have widely agreed that the Gospel of Luke has a special focus on the concern for the poor. This concern for the poor and marginalized first becomes obvious in the account of Jesus’ birth. In the Gospel of Matthew (2:1-12), it is the Magi, wealthy men from a distant country that come to worship Jesus, while Luke tells readers about shepherds- lowly men working in the fields coming to see the baby Jesus. Also, Luke has women, Elizabeth and Mary who as the focal point of the infancy…

volume of writings produced by and for mental health workers. This linkage of mental illness and suicide is, on the whole, accepted uncritically within medicine and psychiatry, by government (e.g. Department of Health, 2002), by the media (e.g. Samaritans, 2002) and even by organisations that have traditionally been opposed to such views that suicide often arose due to ‘grave psychological disturbances, anguish or grave fear of hardship, suffering, or torture’ that could thus ‘diminish the…

Australia prides itself on the fact that it is a multicultural society. Our status of cultural diversity is far beyond some other countries and with that, we stand by what we believe in to lead as example in the hope that other countries follow suit. Home to one of the world’s longest surviving cultures, the interconnectivity between Australian citizens and culture is growing for the better and expanding ever so greater into the future. Unfortunately, Australia has not always matched its…
