The short story “A Mere interlude” written by Thomas Hardy makes effective use of narrative voice to reveal the intentions of Hardy in crafting such a story.

It subjects her to much emotional turmoil and eventually leads her back to the one thing she hoped to escape from through her marriage to…

The exceptional author, William Dean Howells, constructs a powerful topic of both the ideal and real aspects of war in the short story, “Editha”. This powerful story shows us the ideal versus the real. Some would like to think that when soldiers are sent to war they will return, and everything that they must do is “Holy”. Editha calls any war that occurs a glorious war (Howells 1492). This allows both the soldiers and their loved ones to be proud of what was done during the war. Howells develops…

In Brave New World, Huxley defines the people in their society by how they look, whether they are attractive or unattractive. Even in our society today, we see a lot of people being discriminated on their beauty, which makes a lot of men and women feel as if they are not good enough. In The Culture of Beauty, Gerdes states how there was an international study done by the Dove Campaign that “...thirty-two hundred women worldwide found that only 2% of women from ten countries considered themselves…

With that being said the largest part of the United States’ outlook on foreign policy is none of these political ideas on foreign policy;…

Although there are numerous international relations theories that exist within the world today, not many clash like neorealism and idealism do. Where neorealists see a world full of actors focused on achieving power for survival, idealists see many actors attempting to achieve that same survival through the use of cooperation instead of force. When neorealists say that power is the best means for survival, idealists assert that survival is not in power, but rather in cooperation and…

Mr. Smith goes to Washington 1. How does Jefferson Smith become a senator? Also, compare his characteristics with the other candidates. Given the difficulty of finding a suitable Senator, just mentioning the name of Jefferson Smith, a young idealist full of innocence and American ideals of democracy, a subject that seems easy to handle and deceive. If Smith already is quite naive, the young man also relies heavily on his colleague, Senator Paine, since he and his father were close friends from…

Is Idealism Good or Bad? Idealism. Envisioning situations the way you want or think it should be, when, in fact, it is unrealistic. Is it bad for a person to have idealistic views? Is having idealistic thoughts wrong? An example of an idealistic belief is bringing about world peace. Having positive thoughts and goals are good to have, but trying to achieve something of this magnitude seems unattainable. But does this mean we shouldn’t try to fix it? In the play, Julius Caesar, Shakespeare…

If I were to wake up as a woman I would initially be shocked. I would probably think this was a deep seeded nightmare from the time I had a final on female hormones and their reproductive system.

I’d eventually find no reasonable explanation and give up, chalking up all my memories of being a male to being one really realistic dream. I…
