After all he is a scholar and the leading expert on Utilitarianism at the time. The way Mill uses sentence structure exemplifies his ideas and how he thinks of them. For instance, take his use of declarative sentences. “This opinion is not, in the smallest degree, a departure from the Happiness principle,” and “But, if this
One of the ways in which he achieved this was to give insight into the background of each of the characters. This added a richness and depth to the narrative that could only have been done through extensive research. He is careful to give reasons for the attitudes and reactions of the people involved. Such was the case with Neylan, the story’s antagonist. Blauner traces his turn to extreme conservatism back to the time of the New Deal policies of the
Siddhartha as a Hero's Journey Herman Hesse's book, Siddhartha lends itself perfectly to a hero's journey. His journey is long, painful, and dangerous, but Siddhartha comes out better because of it. The book was written by Hesse in 1922 and based on a character set in the 500 BCs. It is odd that the book applies to modern India just as it applied to the India of 2 millennium ago (when Siddhartha supposedly lived). This, coupled with a captivating story line makes this a fun book to read, as well as an interesting point of view into early Indian culture.
A.O.W #13 Soapstone ~ Sophie Perez Period 5 ~ 455 words While reading an excerpt from, “There Will Come Soft Rains,” Ray Bradbury can be easily identified as a skilled author who uses a perfected use of imagery to show the setting of the story. The author may believe that the Cold War was a time to unite friends and achieve a sense of relief only after society’s problems are resolved. He may have lived through the beginning to the very end of the Cold War since all the details seem precise. To capture the tension that he showed in his descriptive writing.

Criticism to Technopoly Abraham C. Vanegas University of Maryland University College Advance Writing 391 As I read Technopoly by Neil Postman my view of technology changes little by little. Although at first after reading the synopsis in the back of the book and the introduction I thought this might be just another book criticizing technology severely, I came to find the view of this author very interesting and at some point even realistic. Potsman is a knowledgeable person, his position as faculty and writer are very clear in his writing and his main idea, which is to keep one eye open when allowing technologies in our lives is actually something that after reading his book I will take into consideration. From the beginning of his book he explains how introducing new things to our life have changed the way we are in some sort of way since the old days. “A new technology does not add or subtract something.
“The Father of The Greek Didactic Poetry,” (“Theogony” Britannica.com) is one of the earliest Greek poets, Hesiod. Hesiod created a poem in which he described the birth and relationships between primordial deities as well as characterized behaviors amongst the gods. Hesiod’s interpretation of the birth of the gods is established in his work, “Theogony.” There are a number of reasons as to why Hesiod wrote the piece. Hesiod’s attitude toward males differs completely from his attitude towards females. Not only does Hesiod’s sexist attitude reflect in his writing, but also his stories all have a connection to the reality and social aspects of the world.
Although not extremely appealing, it contains worthwhile information surrounding the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the nation’s history. The arguments were persuasive and well researched.

Near the beginning of Book VI, we enter a temple dedicated to Apollo, and upon entering, our narrator reiterates the history that gave rise to this temple. It is significant that the history of a shire is described so meticulously, and in the beginning of the book—in a manner, interrupting the reader, and Aeneas (for he stops to admire the gates) from continuing on with the story. Not only does this bestow the notion of history with a sense of great importance in the poem, it insinuates that everyone must yield to history, even a great hero such as
