The form of both poems is very different. next to of course god america I is not an easy poem to read and understand as it does not use punctuation or capital letters. It appears to be one continuous speech however if we look deeper it is a speech delivered by a patriot (possibly a politician) which an opposition is attempting to undermine by using sarcasm and other devices to make the message less effective. The patriot is strongly patriotic and this sentiment can easily be observed just by looking at the title of the poem which lists the three things the patriot cares about in order; God, America, I. The true meaning of this poem is hard to appreciate however once the meaning has been understood the poem becomes a lot more enjoyable.

Behavior is a product of the interaction between both genes and environment. The extent to which genes controls behavior differs from one behavior to the next. Each individual is innately born with a different set of genetic traits found only in that particular animal or species. While genetic change is a random process, natural selection chooses the more phenotypically fit opposed to individuals
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger and Igby Goes Down by Burr Steers are both displayed as rites of passage texts. The texts are overtly didactic and both composers’ present the notion of non-conformity. Salinger and Steers express how individuals are pressured to conform to society’s values and beliefs.

Validity in the Charges of Impiety against Socrates Impiety is commonly defined as a lack of proper concern for the obligations owed to public religious observation. Plato’s Apology consists of a speech made by Socrates, a well-known philosopher, in defense of his life and conduct at his trail.

The question then becomes, with these accusations in mind, are the charges of impiety against Socrates valid? This question is not easy to answer, and is in fact, quite complex.

Dr. Sarah Churchwell explains, “The fault lies in the teaching, not the book, you can’t say I’ll change Twain because it isn’t compatible with my teaching methods.” When a work contains content that could be considered hurtful it is important to teach the context behind the content, not avoid the work of literature
“Tacitus as a Source for the History of the Roman Principate” In light of the selections from Tacitus’ Annals and Dialogue on Oratory, Tacitus’ pessimistic almost cynical attitude is made clear to historical readers. This negative attitude in his historical writings compromises his neutrality toward the events and subjects he includes in his writing. In particular, Tacitus’ negative approach shines through in his description of the trial and death of the historian Cremetius Cordus and in his description of Roman oratory and rhetorical education during the principate. Based solely on these two selections, Tacitus’ apparent partiality would not seem to make him a helpful or constructive source for the history of the Roman principate; however,
