Furthermore, I want to show Abraham this type of food because I like to eat pancakes during the morning wherever we go to eat, so showing this type of food to him…

The theme of "O Captain! My Captain!" is that sacrifices have to be made in order to be successful and gain greatness.

The United States of America is a country with strong beliefs. Yet for centuries, despite our resolute opinions and insistence that we are a “civilized” society, we have paid little attention to key schools of philosophy. This is part of Alexis de Tocqueville’s assertion that while we act within a set of cultural rules, we have done very little to challenge or discuss what our core values actually are. We rely instead on the self, and the “indefinite perfectibility” of man – the concept that we…

Throughout the novel “Mrs. Dalloway” by Virginia Woolf, there is a certain understanding of underlying skepticism of the world. A huge part of the story revolves around the premise of being able to see into the thoughts of all of the characters. This allows the reader to make assumptions about each character’s own unique morals and their personalities. Woolf does an exquisite job of giving the reader an omnipresent point of view in which we see all occurrences throughout the span of a single…

In Woolf’s words “in or about December 1910 human character changed” (Woolf 2). This change, which she asserts was “not sudden and definite,” (Woolf 2) leads the reader to believe it was gradual. The Victorian and Georgian Era are stark in contrast regarding the everyday individual (and said individual’s relationships). Where the Georgian lived a…

I have fallen in love with West Virginia Wesleyan and Buckhannon West Virginia. There are multiple reasons why this has happened over the past year and some of the reasons are because of the small school size, how great the academics are, the amazing soccer program, and how Wesleyan suits my personal life, and personality, perfectly. I appreciate the small school, that Wesleyan is, because I am a person and not just another number in the school. The education at Wesleyan is more personalized to…
