Shameless

Flannery O’Connor was an American author whose works consistently concerned the individual and God. She was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia as part of a Roman Catholic home during the nineteen twenties. According to the article, O’Connor lived modestly and was burdened by lupus which eventually took her life. In the title story, “A Good Man is Hard to Find”, written by Flannery O’Connor, the theme of morality is displayed in the form of a puzzle. In blatant terms, the story is about a…

should beware that you are not deceived by me, since I am a clever speaker. They are not ashamed that they will immediately be refuted by me in deed, as soon as it becomes apparent that I am not a clever speaker at all; this seemed to me to be most shameless of them—unless of course they call a clever speaker the one who speaks the truth” (17b). The first sentence is interesting as it leads to a specific route, which effectively connects back to the overall quote. The tone of this quote seems to…

In his opinion piece for the New York Times, “Goodbye Spin, Hello Raw Dishonesty”, economist, Paul Krugman employs the recent discovery that Trump’s Attorney General was lying in order to shed light on the lies and corruption that have become prevalent since Trump’s inauguration.

cyclops’s, notices what Odysseus has done and sets obstacles for Odysseus. “So Cyclops, no weak coward it was whose crew / you bent to devour there in your vaulted cave -- / you with your brute force! Your filthy crimes came down on your own head, you shameless cannibal, / daring to eat your guests in your own house -- / so Zeus and the other gods have paid you back!”…

but the omniscient narrator seems to care not for details that would make the story clear to the reader. The main question throughout the story is whether or not Daisy is innocent and naively unaware of Europe’s social norms or if she is simply a shameless American intent on twisting society around her little finger. James does an excellent job balancing the supposed dual personalities. Daisy is most certainly not unintelligent, she immediately picks up on the evasion of Winterbourne’s aunt and…

because they are both good pieces of work. However, personally I like movies that do not end as expected so I give “The Green Mile” a very slight edge. Now I am not the only one with an opinion about the movie that matters. Wesley Morris writes, “A shameless “Shawshank” redux.” Wesley is definitely entitled to his opinion but many look upon “The Green Mile” as a remake of “The Shawshank Redemption” but that just is not the case. They are truly two different works of art and should equally be…

The onset of the Glorious Revolution, the imperial wars, the Navigation Acts, Salutary Neglect, and people such as John Locke influencing many colonists in America began an era that would contour the path towards revolution. One of the single most important developments in England to affect the self-identity of the colonists was the Glorious…

The Big Three (A Discussion of My Favorite Greek Gods) It was once said by Kelly Keaton in, A Beautiful Evil, “There is power within great sacrifice, within noble deeds.

Greek gods and goddesses have made a huge impact and inspiration to the world, transcending all generations. As always, each unique person…

October 31, 1517, a bold man made a decision and posted ninety-five theses on the door of a Catholic church in Wittenberg. That man was Martin Luther, he was questioning the church and their recent practice of selling indulgences. Not only did he post his theses on the door, but he also wrote a letter to the Archbishop of Mainz regarding the sales of indulgences. Luther was against these sales of indulgences and other principles that the church was teaching. Indulgences is the money that can be…
