The Gates of Hell

Upon the entrance of Macbeth , she flatters him with 'Great Glamis, Worthy cawdor', a manoeuvre solely purposed to soften his heart with the 'milk of human kindness', thus attaining much influence over him. The reason for such is that her aspirations require the complete loyalty and conformity of her accomplice, and thus is her intention, an intention that requires much comprehension of situations. Yet despite the excitement that prevails in her, her ability to…

Theme: Education is power. One of the many themes in the novel, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, is how education is power. In the novel, Douglass is a former slave who had to face wicked and cruel acts during his life. He learns to read and write and uses his skills to free himself and broaden his horizons. Douglass pursues his goals of learning by “making friends of all the little white boys” and “As many of these as I could, I converted into…

rights. Hatred towards Mexicans has been a continued theme. Repeated mistakes, concerning the well-being of Mexicans, by the U.S. government can be seen throughout history. Take for example the Mexican war, Operation Wetback under Eisenhower, Operation Gate Keeper under Clinton, and the increase of immigration enforcement that Bush proposed. The Mexican repatriation was a failure of the U.S. diplomacy, and was more so just a response by the government to ease the anxieties of distressed…

camps. Trains were packed with hundreds of people to the extent that many had limited movement and it was difficult to breathe. The ghettos and factors were not an improvement. People were chosen for either enslavement or execution behind the closed gates of the ghettos. Death Marches or gas showers were used in mass genocides. Mothers, fathers, children; no matter which race or gender they were, if they happened not to be the German ideal or if they opposed to the Nazi regime, they gradually…

case studies and factual data. Many people who commit suicide tend to be portrayed as mentally ill or a lunatic in some cases. Assumptions that seemed factual such as race, climate, and Imation are just reason some may think people commit suicide. Hell, I thought people in Alaska committed suicide because it was too cold, but that’s not true. Durkheim knew that there was more to know about suicide. Durkheim…

to attack people in town?” “Wolves?” “Wolves? In Pennsylvania? I thought they weren't in this area anymore...” I frowned deeper. Alec shrugged and starts to scale the fence. “I don't know, I'm not a news anchor,” “Where the hell are you going?!” Alec landed on the other side of the fence. He faced me with a…

organs, learned how to breathe air and walk on dry land, and eventually developed into the self-aware blobs of protoplasm that we refer to as ourselves. This is a delightful turn of affairs for insurance salesmen, toothpaste manufacturers, and Bill Gates, because amino acids don't buy many of their products. However, it doesn't take much imagination to see that neither God nor Charles Darwin had much of a background in product development. Frankly, if human beings had been designed and built by…

Fthew. The ringing of the gunshots were still fresh in my ears as the bullets whizzed by my head. I was about ready to pass out from exhaustion, mainly because I had been running for the last five minutes at almost a full sprint and, to be honest, I never got higher than a B- in gym. I breathed a sigh of relief as I noticed a store with a door open, most of the buildings I’d passed were foreclosed and chained shut. Quickly I made a turn into the building and hurried to the second floor in an…

Road Trip Rampage “Hey can you guys be quiet? I’m trying to focus on driving!” The windows on the rusty station wagon began to shake. I turn up the music in an attempt to hide the laughter echoing from the back seat. It was coming from Liam and Maggie; the love birds. Khloe and I sat in the front, rolling our eyes at them. I was driving and she was guiding me using the worn out GPS; we made a good team. This was the beginning of a long road trip filled with amusing jokes and lots of laughs. We…

I’m one of the lucky ones. At least that’s what mother always used to tell me. I wonder what she would say now. Father had a different view on things. He demanded that I never leave the house and that the world know nothing of my existence. I didn’t sneak out of the house till age 13. Who knew that 3 years later I would be on my own? What about your wonderful loving parents, you ask? They’re gone now. “Executed for crimes against The City”. Drifting in the ashes that surround this hellhole I…
