The Peace Bridge. An international bridge between Canada and the United States. The Peace Bridge is located near the center of downtown Buffalo, New York, and Fort Erie, Ontario, where it crosses the Niagara River. It seems like a ordinairy bridge that was made back in 1927. But behind the beauty of a such long creation is hundreds of year history hidden.

“Envy is ignorance, imitation is suicide” (Emerson 370-372). A Separate Peace written by John Knowles in New Hampshire. Gene Forrester’s was a young boy that attended Devon school during the summer, he was considered smart, conformist, and jealous. A Separate Peace emulates three major literary traditions.

In A Separate Peace, the author chooses to use conflicts to show the growth of a character. As a conflict happens there is some sort of growth which the character gains as a result. In fact, there are many conflicts throughout the story that shape the characters in unique ways including Genes jealousy of his best friend, Finny doing dangerous things, and Gene trying to live through Finny. Some conflicts result in good ways some result in bad and it changes the way the character is. The book is a good example of what it is like when a conflict happens in real life, by showing growth of a character after a conflict. The decisions made by the characters will either change them in positive or negative ways; that is an important message that the book tells quite well.

A Separate Peace, a coming-of-age novel by John Knowles, demonstrates the consequences of conflict in personal relationships, as well as within oneself. In the novel, Gene Forrester, the protagonist, battles with internal conflict involving his identity and emotions towards his best friend, Phineas, also known as Finny. Gene develops envy towards his best friend and believes in an enmity between them that does not exist, which leads to external conflict between Gene and Finny. Gene, throughout the novel, creates the most conflict that separates him from Finny, ultimately leading to Finny’s demise. Examples of these conflicts, both real and imaginary, have been provided by Gene’s thoughts as the narrator. One of the first signs of internal conflict involving Finny can be recognized when Finny calls Gene his best friend, to which Gene does not respond. As Gene states, “Perhaps I was stopped by that level of feeling deeper than thought, which contains the truth”(Knowles 48). The internal conflict has already begun, onsetting many more conflicts to come. This quote means that Gene does not consider Finny his best friend due to Gene’s latent jealousy towards Finny’s charm and wit. An example of external conflict as a result of Gene’s internal conflict can be derived from the scene where Gene realizes that Finny had no ill will towards him and that all enmity between them had been a figure of Gene’s imagination. Gene had thought Finny was making an effort to distract him from his

The name of my project is “The Peace Arch”. I named my project this because my branches form an arch and it looks very simple and peaceful. I chose the bowl because I wanted a shallow bowl that didn't take any attention away from my flowers and leaves. I chose to fill my bowl with rocks instead of Styrofoam because I thought it would look earthy and natural. I chose my flowers because they were different shades of pink and they came with different sizes and length of branches. I also chose my flowers because they look like cherry blossoms. My project represents peace and love. The rocks and the simpleness of the project represents peace and the pink flowers represent the love. I placed my branches and my flowers on opposite sides of my bowl

Phineas was a born athlete. Gene on the other hand was the exact opposite. His athletic ability was close to none. The role of competition plays a large part of the storyline in this novel, A Separate Peace. In a sense, it’s what made the connection between Phineas and Gene so strong. It also played a part in wedging a gap between Phineas and Gene.

The death of Caulfield’s brother, Allie, clearly leaves a devastating effect on his life and acts as the central cause of his mental illnesses. Allie died of leukemia at the age of eleven in his family’s summer home in Maine. Holden, thirteen at the time, leaves his comfortable life distraught over the loss of his brother and brakes his hand punching the windows out of the garage of their home. He misses Allie's funeral due to the fact that he was in the hospital for psychiatric evaluation, thus leading one to believe some of his problems may have begun to manifest even before his death. One sees that “...the individual identifies with the lost person, so that repressed anger towards the lost person is directed inwards towards the self. The

In every home, there is a different definition of family and how family should treat each other. Two short stories were read by an author named Flannery O’Connor. “A Good Man is Hard to Find”. It was about a dysfunctional family who encounters a criminal named “The Misfit”. The grandmother which is the main character is very judgmental towards others and sometimes her own family at times. This story starts off with a disagreement on where to go for a family trip, but they decide on going to Florida for the family trip after a while of arguing. On this trip, it showed what type of family they are. They talk about everything with one another as well as bicker and fight but at the end of the day, they are still family and love each other. They come together the most in panicking situations such as the accident and waiting for a car to help them. The point of this paper is the theme of family. Specifically, family is a theme in this short story because it depicts a dysfunctional family; the family you see on a crazy television show and can’t get enough of because they’re funny but also they have serious moments. There 's the two troublesome and annoying kids, the hot-headed dad who tries to maintain control of a situation and fails, the wife busy attending to the baby, and the grandmother, who 's a case all to herself (and also the main character). Though the story starts out seeming like a comedy, it takes a serious turn when the family encounters a criminal, who kills them

There will never be peace in the Middle East. The idea of peace in a certain region is a silly notion. What region has truly ever known peace? Allow me to rephrase my thesis: There will never be peace in the Middle East as long as western powers intervene into Arab affairs. It is common knowledge that throughout history western powers have colonized, occupied, and exploited indigenous people in the name of national interest, national security, and manifest destiny. The Middle East is not exempt. It started with British intervention into Egyptian affairs, controlling the Suez Canal in the name of national interest, then the deposing of an elected government in Iran to stop the western-controlled oil companies

“Civil Peace” is about a man named Jonathan Iwegbu who lives in a small Nigerian colony. The Nigerian Civil War just ended and Jonathan is reminiscing over how lucky he and his family are for surviving the war. The characterization of Jonathan contributes to the overall theme of being thankful for the positive things you have in life and work through the negatives that occur because he was always being thankful, realizing he’s very lucky, and he feels blessed for the small things. In “Civil Peace,” things were very rough after the war and times were very hard.

'For too long, the citizens of the Middle East have lived in the midst of death and fear. The hatred of a few holds the hopes of many hostage. The forces of extremism and terror are attempting to kill progress and peace by killing the innocent. And this casts a dark shadow over an entire region,' President George W. Bush in his June 24, 2002 address to the nation.
