The Adventure of the Final Problem

introduced into the film, she is reciting lines from a play, ironically from a play book titled “Labyrinth”. “Through reading about these heroes and heroines, then acting out the stories in their play, children learn strategies for dealing with different problems along the way” (BETTELHEIM 10). Knowing this much, we become…

States remained barbaric and discriminatory. In his coveted novel Underground Railroad, Colson Whitehead creates a unique story that resonates with many themes and issues today. Just because we don’t know about the problems and the injustice, does not mean that it doesn’t exist. Many problems with race remain unresolved, because discussions about the systematic oppression of minorities in this country never occurs. Have the states really progressed fully? Or is it a delusion that the white…

Humans have their ups and downs, laughs and sighs, and impactful moments with a different path and story behind them. Each with their own level of uniqueness and meaning. Some are brave and others are cowards, some are nice and others are demeaning, some are evil and some spread only love. All in all we are all different, yet somehow we are connected and similar. We all face the coming of adulthood. The adulthood abyss claims many, the lucky ones know of the chaos it brings. Few are prepared for…

had to be extended even to today. After some searching, I concluded that the most influential writer in American Literature whose influence can still be felt today was Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens). This influence was created mostly in the book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Ernest Hemingway said, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn....It…

Through out most people 's primary American education, writing has become an extremely begrudging task. I can personally attest to that felling, teachers hold a lot of power, they can either make it easy for students to fall in love with a subject, or ruin it for them forever. In my writing experience I have had my fair share of teachers doing the latter. From writing dozens "mementos" for my senior memory book, to writing dry papers for standardized state tests year after year, it 's easy to…

Before the end of the tale, Robin sums up his experience of life in the city by noting that he sees the city with an air of disgust. The life he saw in the city did not attract him where the final exclamation point of his journey was meeting his kinsman who would not want to see his face again anyways. Robin acknowledges that he is weary of the city life and that makes the reader more certain that he would return to the more simple country ways…

for most of the narrative. Faust's immorality comes to light from his philosophy that despite his toxic choices, no real consequence approaches him, as if Faust stole this straight from Rick and Morty. Unfortunately for Faust's victims, the real problem lies with combining his toxic personality with a literal demon! Faust becomes a callous juggernaut when he is coupled with Mephistopheles’ lethal…

When Kubrick unleashed his final cinematic work Eyes Wide Shut in1999, like all his previous films, it was grievously misunderstood by audiences and critics alike. Based on Arthur Schnitzler’s 1926 novella Traumnovelle (Dream Story), Kubrick upholds a psychoanalytic parallel between the two, as the source story heavily borrowed from Freud’s theory of life (Eros) and death instincts (Thanatos). The task of transporting the overall…

quickly became an old past time. So, when sitting in class on my first day and being told to freewrite about anything, I froze not remembering how to just write though I am a girl who normally has plenty to say. Once I finally got started another problem soon arose, it had been so long since I had to put anything down on paper that my mind was unaware of how to properly write a paragraph let alone an essay if I had too. There were words that would come to mind that I couldn’t remember how to…

Yancey asserts that while most people would say Job is all about pain, it is really about faith in pain. In the third chapter, the author addresses Deuteronomy, as the final summation of the books of Moses and for a chapter, writes from Moses’ point of view. Yancey describes in length how Moses may have been feeling and thinking and how God chose and unlikely leader for his chosen people. Moses was living out God’s mission…
