Void

cruel, unfair fate because of Diana’s impulsive and unjust use of her powers. In Tales from Ovid, by Ted Hughes, Ovid conveys that when people abuse their power it victimizes others and as a result hurts innocent people because people with power are void of compassion. In one of the myths that support Ovid’s purpose, “Callisto and Arcas,” Jove abuses his power to forcefully take advantage of Callisto, and leaves her deeply disturbed, pregnant, and later changed by his wife, because Jove hadn’t…

expected of you; it is who you are told to be. In the gap between what is expected of us and what we want is the numbness. This is the space where all the obligations and commitments fade away and one feel’s “empty inside”. This is the existential void. What is the resolution? Here’s a little preview: “Become what you are!” One must find purpose, one must find meaning, and one must find their ikigai [生き甲斐]. Is your ikigai a “reason for being”? Can it possibly bring satisfaction and meaning to…

Neptune is the Roman god of the sea, water, earthquakes and horses. He was from a line of sea gods and his parents were Saturnus and Ops, who were born from the titans. He was one of the twelve olympian gods. Neptune is often shown with long black hair, wearing sea green clothes sitting in a shell chariot pulled by whales, horses, or sea horses. He is always…

With that said, it’d look appropriate that literary analysis, having come so far, acknowledges a great deal of its contributions, in a roundabout kind of way, to William Shakespeare himself. “The Bard” arguably best took on human nature, and the natural environment, at least from the point of his written understanding. Reiterated within the first chapters of Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human Pages, Harold Bloom, the paramount scholar on the subject, makes his case on what is meant, in…

For Byer and Cellar, they have a valid contract. As for the rest of the definitions, Byer and Cellar case does not apply. A void contract is missing an essential element. For example, I will sell you my car, but I do not have one to sell. A voidable contract works the same way as the void contract by missing essential elements, but the decision to enforce the contract is between the parties. A voidable contract, one of the parties is legally responsible…

Question 2: In his Aristotle’s Categories, he presents the thesis, “if the primary substances did not exist, neither could any of the other things exist (2b7-8).” By this, Aristotle means that there are two categories of substances--primary substances and secondary substances. Readers must keep in mind, however, that the qualifiers of primary and secondary were only added for clarification purposes. The term I will soon define as primary substances is what Aristotle is referring to when he says…

The London Portrayals A twig snaps to your left. You quickly turn, the wind passing through your hair. You see nothing but the trees’ shadows. Snap! Another twig, this time to your right, and once again you turn, but this time you see two wolves. They both howl, then jump. You fall to the ground, the wolves clawing at your very soul. Both the book The Call of The Wild, and To Build a Fire by Jack London, focus on dogs and large ideas. While both books focus on large, metaphorical ideas, they…

Rarely does one novel connect to multiple generations at once. For a long time this country has moved from being a producing country to consuming country. Every generation has had their fair share of material possession and obsessions. Sometime these objects can cause people to lose sight in what is most important in their lives. It’s getting to the point where we care more about what kind of car somebody drive or the label on their clothes than what kind of human they are. Fight Club reveals…

their home for any evidence of Japanese loyalty.” Similarly, in the novel, the authorities barged into the homes of Japanese Americans, using the war to justify their unconstitutional actions. This supports my second argument that Asian Americans were void of basic rights protected by the Constitution. In addition to illegal searches, Nelson states, “Congress had considered...and successfully implemented a plan to strip some American-born Nisei of their citizenship via a confusing loyalty…
