today. The general population (the 3rd estate) had enough of absolutism. King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette were unpopular. This resulted from multiple things including England humiliating France in the Seven Years War, rising food prices (Hart-Davis 302). They had also been the laughing stock of France due to the fact that they couldn’t have a child for years and Louis XIV was short and fat, not necessarily fitting the mold of a king. They didn’t like Marie Antoinette because of her various

Hart distinguishes three justificatory issues revolving the application of punishment. Firstly, the general justifying aim of a system of punishment is to determine the justification of creating and maintaining a system of punishments (Hart 1959, pg. 9). Hart defines this as “the application of the pains of punishment to an offender who is morally guilty,” which he later labels

At Adam’s request, God sent three angels, named Senoy, Sansenoy, and Semangelof, in search of Lilith to return her to the Garden of Eden. They found her in the company of demons near the Red Sea, but she refused to return to Adam.  She was punished by God to give birth to thousands of deformed offspring, called lilim, a hundred of which would die per day.  Upset by her punishment, she throws herself into the Red Sea.   The three angels take pity on her and give her power over

instant reaction on seeing the blind negro, Riley. On seeing the black stranger, Bert is so furious that he indulges in direct physical violence and beats him cruelly till he dies. Another instance of racism can be seen in the play The Caretaker. Davis in the play is suspicious of the immigrants or foreigners in Britain and he feels that they give themselves the airs that they are better than him. Throughout the play he refers to them in vilifying ways which reveals his racist attitude towards them

AN ANALYSIS OF WILLIAM BLAKE’S SONGS OF INNOCENCE AND OF EXPERIENCE AS A RESPONSE TO THE COLLAPSE OF VALUES TIMOTHY VINES∗ Blake’s Songs of Innocence and of Experience are a much studied part of the English canon, and for good reason. Blake’s work depicts a quandary that continues to haunt humanity today: the struggle of high-order humanity against the ‘real’ rationality and morals of institutionalised society. This essay seeks to explore both Blake’s literary reaction to the Enlightenment and the

of Eve, which means ‘life’, with Clines describing this as how a woman’s function is denoted in the Bible (1990:40). I agree with Clines in this respect as by using language such as ‘helper’, it is suggested that Eve was not created independently of Adam but to help him as the more dominant figure. It is understandable how this text would not sit well with feminist scholars as it belittles women’s role in society in being secondary to man and only valuable for procreation, highlighted by Eve’s name

the collapsed first place run. Even with the Brewers trading a number of players, they still have a solid core group and have a new wave of talent about to come up. The last time the Brewers had a real wave of young talent come up as a group, (Hardy, Hart, Braun, Fielder, Gallardo) they found themselves just two games away from the World

Two events took place in the mid-19th century in the United States that set the stage for a third which became an historic turning point in American history. The settlement of Mormons in Utah and their pursuit to establish their own government coupled with explorations to develop the transcontinental railroad laid the groundwork for the massacre of Captain John Gunnison and his explorers in 1853 which took eight lives. As massacres go, the loss of eight people was not numerically remarkable. What

Certain metals could be affected by the pH of water. This, however, could reflect on real life situations that could affect us, the environment, and also our pipe system as well. Some metals such as iron and steel oxidize when they are exposed to humidity and water thus forming corrosion known as ferric oxides (Roy, 2009). Corrosion has destructive potential if left untreated (Stahl, 2005). Knowing what metals are prone to corrosion is an important issue to take notice about because corrosion happens
