In the words of Isabella Poretsis “All humans are alike and all humans are equal. It is just the perception of the eye that sees any different” (Goodreads Inc., 2014). This is the case in Edgar Allan Poe’s work “The Tale Tell Heart”. In Poe’s story the narrator has no hate for the old man that he is taking care of.

Unseen in "May" The broken keep a smile that is so clearly falsified; one grows ignorant of it and because of this ignorance, the broken will only fall deeper in the pit of their never ending despair. The love poem, "May", composed by Sara Teasdale illustrates the reality of one's struggle which is one unseen, unbeknownst to none other than the recipient who handles it ferocity head on in a losing encounter. The theme was quite apparent in its short showing, however, it could be lost if the…

While not entirely rejecting her sin, Hester thrusts the letter away from her heart both physically and metaphorically, in contrast to Dimmesdale’s letter, which is etched onto his flesh. Each of these scarlet letters reflect the degree of the bearer’s guilt through its proximity to the heart,…

faith-based social services from church-state requirements attached to the public purse (Daly, 2009). When welfare spending was restructured beginning in the mid-1960s it created a larger public role for social services, causing faith-based providers to be thrust into church-state conflict by the new political economy of welfare spending (Daly, 2009).
