... in a language known for its passing trends and short-lived fashions. Could it be that these words were, and are, essential for communication? Would the English language be as effective without these words? Are efforts to repress them futile? Does the popularization of such vocabulary create the need for new words with the same taboo status as the original words? To summarize: Does profanity serve a useful purpose in the English language? In order to answer a question this complex, certain guidelines must be set. The word "profanity" has a long list of taboo words associated with it, not all of which can be accommodated within such a short study. It is therefore ne ...

... these photos they went through complex and time-consuming procedures. One would mix chemicals and pour them on a clean glass plate. After the chemicals were given time to evaporate, the glass plate would be sensitized by being immersed --in darkness-- in a bath solution. Then placed in a holder, the plate would then be inserted into the camera, which had been previously positioned and focused by the other photographer (Applebee 479). After the picture had been taken the photographer had to rush to develop the plate in the traveling darkroom wagon. The photograph had to be treated with care after development, tough on the battlefield. The best known pictorial rec ...

... a question every character in the novel repeats who confronts the blatant red token and who has to deal with it. The letter A manifests in a variety of forms and places. Not only does the A manifest in various forms, but it also acquires a variety of meanings. It represents more than just the sin of adultery. Even as the original mark of adultery, the scarlet letter has a different individual meaning to the various characters. To Hester, the A is a symbol of unjust humiliation. The "A" magnifies in an armor breastplate at the Governor's mansion to "exaggerated and gigantic proportions, so as to be acutely the most prominent feature of [Hester's] semblance. In ...

... rejected from society. Beowulf and Grendel both speak of Grendel’s ancestor Cain, almost as if using it as an excuse for his rash and murderous actions. Beowulf told of a Grendel that mercilessly attacked Hrothgar’s meadhall killing men without reason. Grendel also speaks of this evil monster, but in a more sympathetic and excusable manner. Grendel is thought of as “the guardian of sins” and is the physical equivalent to a man that has been shunned by God. He is described as a hideous bear like ogre in human like shape. Both literary pieces tell of his extraordinary strength and size and his similarities to the early ideas of Satan. Th ...

... beginning of Act 1. By saying, “And mark this. Let either of you breath a word, or the edge of a word about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you. And you know I can do it.”(Pg. 20 | Line 2) she shows her evil character as she even threatens her “friends” that she will harm them when they get in their way. She is also not afraid of blaming everything on Tituba, who she asked for help with conjuring the spirits, by saying, “Don’t lie! (…) She comes to me while I sleep; she is always making me dream corruptions!”(Pg. 44 | Line 9) As you can see in the paragraphs above, Ab ...

... of the crime. He doesn't feel the least bit guilty about having committed the crime, only his pride's hurt. He doesn't mention the idea of the pain that might arise from recurrent visions of the crime. Raskolnikov never again recalls the massive amounts of blood everywhere, the look on Lizaveta's face when he brings down the axe on her head. These things clearly show that the crime isn't what might cause him suffering, or pain, it is something else. After Raskolnikov is sent off to Siberia, he doesn't feel remorseful. His feelings haven't changed about his crime, he feels bad at not being able to living up to his own ideas of g ...

Sometimes i wonder is this "do or die " method going to be our only way of communication. Will we ever get to know the meaning of the word peace again or is humanity cursed to suffer forever.
