The document discusses the themes of truth and falsity in Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses. It notes that through violent deaths and hypocrisy, the novel questions religious leaders' control over followers and reintroduces doubt in the sacred. It also highlights how postmodern texts can find that some things like religion cannot be explained and that characters may revisit belief with skepticism as ideology falters. In The Satanic Verses, the boundaries between truth and falsity are ultimately ambiguous as some characters wrestle with religious doubt while others reconsider atheism after supernatural events.

2. Essay about Love in Valentine and The Flea
Love in Valentine and The Flea
Through a close analysis of language, structure and theme, compare and contrast the poets attitude to
love in Valentine and The Flea.
The poem The Flea is about a man trying to cunningly argue a woman into bed. John Donne s The
Flea was a metaphysical poem, written most probably, to entertain an audience of men; this was called
a coterie, which was a group of like minded individuals who cleverly wrote for each other s
amusement. This poem was written sometime in the 17th century where religion was extremely
important and sex before marriage frowned upon. The poet is exploring ideas and feelings about lust
and how unimportant losing virginity is, which a woman will obviously object to. ... Show more

He is persistent in his argument and irritating, this portrays himself as a replicate of a flea, just trying
to get what he wants.
In the first stanza John Donne is narrating to the reader. The flea has sucked his blood and hers and he
is now using this flea as an example for his argument by saying:
Mark but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deniest me is;
He is also implying that virginity is small and insignificant. This will obviously offend the girl because
virginity is a very important gift that a woman has to bestow on a man. But the poet does not seem to
give up on this point.
The poet uses cunning phrases such as:
Thou know st that this cannot be said
A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead;
Which make me feel that he is lulling her into a sense of false security. This is a great technique to win
his argument.
At the end of stanza one, the poet becomes quite melodramatic:
Yet this enjoys before it woo,
3. And pamper d swells in one blood made of two;
And this, alas! is more than we would do.
Donne could be implying that the flea easily has enjoyment from sucking her blood and that he
himself has no pleasure from her. This might show he has an egotistical attitude towards women.
Donne s use of physical language such as suck d , blood and
swells implies his lustful desires and show the sensual undercurrents of the poem.

4. Plato s Symposium, By Plato
In the book, Plato s Symposium, by Plato, who was a philosopher in Greece, he illustrates the dialectic
discussion at a party at Agathon s to celebrate his triumph of his first tragedy. In the Symposium; the
guests Phaedrus, an Athenian aristocrat; Pausanias, the legal expert; Eryximachus, a physician;
Aristophanes, eminent comic playwright; Agathon ,a tragic poet and host of the banquet; Socrates,
eminent philosopher and Plato s teacher; and Alcibiades, a prominent Athenian statesman, orator and
general; discuss their own versions and viewpoints to praise the god of love. First, we have Phaedrus,
who starts to say that love is the most ancient of the gods and should be praiseworthy, next we have
Eryximachus who states that love affects everything in the universe and that it should be protected,
next we have Aristophanes, who states that the reason why love is on earth is because god has split
humanity in half and that man should fear the gods and should embrace love to feel whole again, and
last we have Socrates who suggests what Diotima explains that love is in the middle of two things or
objects and has both characteristics. Phaedrus starts off the conversation of love stating how the god
Love doesn t get much attention in songs and that he should be praiseworthy because he has helped
men to gain honor and blessedness. This begins the symposium and functions as a way to tell the
reader what the topic would be about and why the guests in the party should discuss it.

5. The Effects Of Maltreated Children On Children
The Effects on Maltreated Children In the US alone nearly 3 million children experience some form of
maltreatment (Spinazzola, Hidgdon, Ford, Briggs, Liang, Layne, Pynoos, Stolbach, Kisiel, 2014 p.
S19). The maltreatment of children is an issue that is happening around the world. Most people think
about physical abuse being the most common form of maltreatment; however, emotional abuse
accounts for 36% ( Spinazzola et al 2014 p. S19) , and emotional neglect accounts for 52%

It is concerning that there is little knowledge in their adaptive behavior; subsequently, if we can
understand what abilities they are able to perform than a more suitable intervention can be planned.
Deficits in adaptive functioning should be addressed when completing an evaluation, so that better
interventions can be put in place. (Viezel, Lowell, Davis, Castillo, 2014) In the study Differential
Profiles of Adaptive Behavior of Maltreated Children they compared the differences in adaptive
behavior between children who were abused, neglected, and a comparison group. Children who had
been abused had a lower adaptive behavior then the comparison group, but the neglected children had
a moderately low range for all three domains (Viezel, Lowell, Davis, Castillo 2014 p. 577). With the
findings they suggested that neglected children would have delays in coping skills, personal care
skills, expressive communication, and the inability to participate in appropriate play. This is consistent
with previous research that suggested; youth who were neglected experienced difficulties in social
interactions, social withdrawal, and isolation (Viezel et al 2014 p. 577). Child neglect has yet to gain a

It all started back in the fifties when James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA

and basically impossible, but in 1997 that all changed when a sheep, named Dolly, was the first ever
mammal to be cloned. She was cloned for the purpose of curing disease and research on animal organs

The subject of animal cloning has provoked debate about the ethics of interfering with nature as well
as about the danger of using laboratory means to accomplish what habitat preservation and other
conservation measures cannot (Gugliotta A3). Now there is talk that they are going to start cloning
animals that have been extinct from ten to thousands of years ago. Scientists are contemplating the
possibility of cloning a 20,000 year old woolly mammoth from a block of ice in northern Siberia and
are planning to use an elephant for it is surrogate mother (Gugliotta A3). This is just crazy, I don t
think that I need to remind every one of the movie Jurassic Park. Do we want to move into a world of
genetically engineered animals? I definitely do not; these animals became extinct for a reason and who
are we to say that it is time for them to roam to earth again?
Another type of cloning that is now being investigated is the use of biotechnology to help infertile
couples have children. Even Ian Wilmut, the scientist who cloned Dolly and has come out publicly
against human cloning, was not trying to help sheep have genetically related children (Thomas 47).
This technique to impregnate infertile couples is basically the same that they are using on the animals.

9. The Role Of Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander People
The Stolen Generations is a term used to describe the actions of which Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander people, mostly children, were taken away from their families between the 1890 s and the
1970 s (Korff, 2014). Children were taken to institutions or adopted by non Indigenous families and
most never saw their families again. In the early 1900 s the Australian public was persuaded into
believing Aboriginal children were deprived, mistreated and at risk in their own communities. People
believed that Aboriginal children would receive a better education, a more loving and caring family
and a more civilised upbringing if adopted by white families or government institutions. In reality

McGarry, a member of the Parliament of New South Wales, objected to the Aborigines Protection
Amending Act 1915. The Act enabled the Aborigines Protection Board to remove Aboriginal children
from their parents without having to establish that they were in any way neglected or mistreated
(McKeich, 2006). McGarry described this policy as stealing the child away from its parents. In 1997,
the Bringing Them Home report was released. The report was based on findings from the Human
Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission s National Inquiry into the separation of Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander children from their families (McKeich, 2006). The enquiry found that many
cases of forcible child removal occurred around the country. After the release of the report, the media
began using the term The Stolen Generations to describe the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
people who shared their stories. The report did not refer to the term The Stolen Generations but rather
referred to it as forcible removal policies (McKeich, 2006). Very few records of the children that were
taken and is estimated that between 1883 and 1969 more than 6,200 children were stolen in NSW
alone (Korff, 2014). Today many people are still affected by the past child removal policy, either as a

10. The Satanic Verses, Truth And Falsity
Through the violent deaths and hypocrisy, doubt in the sacred is reintroduced. Eileen Barker illustrates
brainwashing as the control the religious leaders have exerted over their followers . This questions
whether belief is imposed or cultivated. John Updike writes that Everything seemed still in place, yet
something was immensely wrong . Highlighting the sense of doubt in postmodernist texts, one may
find that some things, such as religion, cannot be explained. Faith can waver or hold steadfast,
characters revisiting belief in skepticism as ideology falters. In The Satanic Verses, truth and falsity is
ultimately ambiguous. Some characters are featured as wrestling with religious doubt, others like
Gibreel and Saladin think over their atheism after supernatural events. Definition is resisted, borders
blurred, it is questionable whether events are happening or merely figments of imagination. Gibreel
asks for some sign (30) that God is present during his illness, but realizes he is talking to air. He lost
his faith (29) and even after metamorphosis, it is revealed that Gibreel is schizophrenic. The

11. Casilda In The Judge s Wife By Isabel Allende
Indeed, a woman should soften but not weaken a man. This supposition exemplifies the character
Casilda from The Judge s Wife short story by Isabel Allende. Although not seen by all as the main
character, Casilda is the strongest and most evolutionary personality of the short story. The Judge s
Wife is an exceptional tale that follows the progression of characters as they fight against their
predetermined destinies and how they are viewed in others eyes. Casilda is a catalyst for the evolution
of almost every character in the story. Not only does her character grow in The Judge s Wife, but she
is also a medium for the growth of the two other main characters in the story. Casilda molds the
personality of a majority of the characters in the story, distinctly Judge Hidalgo and Nicolas Vida.
Casilda noticeably changed the character of Judge Hidalgo, into a softer man, in his field of
professionalism. In a close analysis of this narrative, we find that the Judge was a very cranky
bachelor who was very feared by all, in the village he lived, for his stubbornness and severe temper.
We are told that, when he enforced the law, Judge Hidalgo failed to give any account of the whys and
wherefores behind the indicted committing the crime. According to the author, not only did the judge
refuse to apply any common sense in his judgments but was also equally harsh in his condemnation of
the theft of a chicken as of premeditated murder (Allende 284). Across the village, not a single person
was safe from his cruelty. However, the judge changed, significantly after he married Casilda. All this
came to reality when the priest and a group of Catholic women approached Casilda to plead for the
life of Juana the Forlorn, a poor old woman who was subjected to torture for the reason that she made
an effort to capture her son. Casalda heeded to their requests and set forth for the town, with a bottle of
fresh water and a basket of food, taking her children dressed in their Sunday best. In spite of the
soldiers struggles to keep her away, the cries of her children crossed the years of Judge Hidalgo. This

12. Essay about Medieval Warfare
The Medieval period was a time of noblemen who fought for love, honor, and country under a code of

nobility used war as a way to show their power and hold their status by being professional soldiers.
There were also lots of soldiers from the lower classes who were led into battle under nobles. These

There were also larger weapons used to do damage to buildings and walls called siege weapons.
Among these weapons were trebuchets which were throwing machines and springalds which would
launch large projectiles at fortified walls (Prestwich p. 287) . Now that we know what weapons were
being used, it is time to look at the tactics that were involved. The archers, foot soldiers, and cavalry
all had to work together in order to make the battle go right. The army would be broken down into
three formations of which cavalry, foot soldiers, and archers were separated to attack at different times
(Verbruggen p.209) . Each of these ranks of soldiers have their own job in the battle. The archers
would usually start the battle and try to cause a break in the enemy s infantry formation. Once there
was a break in formation the infantry men would attack the lines of the enemy until the breaks in
formation got larger. Finally the cavalry men would come in on horses and wreak havoc on the enemy
s infantry. The battle must be fought like this because if the infantry was to advance first they would
meet the other infantry, and if the archers then fired they would be more likely to injure their own
troops. Or if the Cavalry was to charge first they would be met by the opposing infantry s poleaxes
and Halberds, thus killing their horses. A quick retreat was also a cause for lots of deaths in medieval

13. Persuasive Essay About False Confessions
Almost everyone who has seen a cop television show or movie has heard the saying You have the right
to remain silent . In America, people are raised to believe that the justice system never fails, and that
no matter what happens justice will always prevail, though for some people this safety net has failed
them. Since the late 1980s six studies have documented 250 interrogation induced false confessions.
Police induced false confessions are the result of multistep process and sequence of influence,
persuasion, and compliance. Imagine that a solider of the U.S. military is brought in for questioning,
kept locked up for sixteen hours in an interrogation room, constantly threatened with the death penalty
if they did not confess to the crime, and the whole time left without representation. In 1997 this was
the case for four individuals from Norfolk, Virginia held without representation and forced to give
false confessions. On July 8, 1997, William Bosko, an enlisted sailor returns home from a week at sea

15. Body Language Of A Silent Film
Language developed tremendously through the use of silent films in the 1800s and early 1900s. A
silent film is that which consists of only the picture, and no sound. This was an era of truly
transformative filmmaking, forcing writers and producers to have to step out of a comfort zone in
order to allow purely visual expressions to touch their audiences and convey their stories. This was
achieved through a greater emphasis on facial expressions and body language. Firstly, one of the
greatest movies in the silent era was that by Keaton, Sherlock Jr. This film encompasses all the core
principles of telling a story through silence and overcoming the cinematic boundaries of its day. The
key to achieving this is through the direct expressiveness of the body language of the actors alongside
the plot and how Keaton specifically selected the scenes. The film begins with a love story between a
wealthy girl (Kathryn McGuire) and a projectionist at a local movie theatre. His dream to become a
detective is what drives the film. A memorable scene in the movie is that in the candy shop when
Keaton goes to buy the chocolates for the girl. This was performed entirely in pantomime, allowing
the audience to get in touch with the film, and comprehend his desperation to woo the girl. He
shadows Crane, who is larger in size than he is, mimicking his body language and gestures. This was
done using a tracking shot. Keaton s framing techniques were clear enough to tell the story,

20. Compare And Differences Of Ancient Greece And The Roman...
Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire two civilizations that have so much in common but are yet so
vastly different. Both civilizations have seen their fair share of their empires rise and fall. Greece and
Roman today are both tourist places that we visit for the history they provide from hundreds of years
ago. Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire both seem to be founded and perspired due to some type
of water system helping them. Ancient Greece used the Mediterranean Seas new channels for trade.
Also, Greece used ships to help conquer nearby islands, which in return made them very vulnerable to
ground invasions. The Roman Empire was founded on the Tiber River for a trade post. Around 509 44
BCE Romans conquered and seemed to dominate the entire Mediterranean Sea basin. Both
civilizations found that the seas can help them conquer and control other civilizations. (Acrobatiq,
2017) Ancient Greece used a writing system call Linear B, which is short of similar to Linear A.
Linear B used syllabic signs, (composed of logograms, a base 10 number system, and short vertical
lines to separate words), to communicate messages a total of 87 in all. Originally this writing format
was thought to be influenced by the Minoans. Then a British linguist and cryptologist found that the
language was Indo European based, not Minoan who used the Linear A system instead. Ancient

21. Comparing Revelation On The Relationship Of Church And State
Paper 1: Comparing Revelation to Eusebius on the Relationship of Church and State
After reading chapters twelve through thirteen and seventeen through nineteen from the book of
Revelation, I have attained knowledge that allows me to see how the author of Revelation perceives
the Roman Empire. From the beginning of chapter twelve it is clearly portrayed that the woman who
is in the sky, about to give birth, is meant to symbolize Mary the mother of Jesus, or even Israel, the
birthplace of Jesus. The Dragon of course, represents Satan. When the Dragon is thrown down to
Earth due to its repulsive actions of trying to harm the woman s baby, it decides to make war against

Overall, the Roman Empire is perceived as an evil given its unruly authority and power from Satan
himself. Rome s relationship with Satan (the Dragon) is viewed as a partnership. Satan and the Roman
Empire both wanted to persecute Christians, and Satan provided Rome with the opportunity to do so
by giving them such power and authority over everything. Men worshipped the dragon because he had
given authority to the beast, and they all worshiped the beast (Revelation 13:4 New International
Version). Although Rome pretty much had this partnership with Satan, God/Jesus was and is still in
control and that s what chapter nineteen in the book of Revelation reassures for its readers. After this I
heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting (Revelation 19:1 New
International Version). This is a victory song and also assurance to the persecuted Christians of Asia
Minor that God is still in control and always will be and that everything will fall into place when the
time is right and when he plans for it to. God defeated the whore of Babylon and therefore defeated
the Roman Empire once and for all.
I believe that there were major social and historical factors that played a crucial role in influencing the
writing of the book of Revelation due to the fact that there was so much past heat between Christians

His head opened and stuff came out and turned red. Piggy s arms and legs twitched a bit like a pig
after it has been killed (217). This is what can happen to someone when all signs of civilization, order
and power disappear and have no more meaning to members of a group or society. In the writing of
William Golding s Lord of the Flies (1954), the symbol of power and civilization is the conch. Once
that is lost, all bets are off. When the novel begins, two boys are talking about what has happened and
why they are on this island. While walking on the beach, the main character Ralph then proceeds to
find a shell which the two boys call the conch. Blowing on this shell Ralph calls a meeting where the
boys lay out rules and decide they need a signal fire to be rescued from this island on which there are
no adults and no females. During the meeting Jack, a choir boy, decides to organize a group of hunters
to hunt for food. As the story progresses, Ralph finds himself and Jack to be enemies. Then the lord of
the flies begins to emerge within the group, many of whom begin to take on savage behavior, and end
up killing Simon. Jack then decides to go and start his own tribe; he and a lot of the others do so. Even

Relationship Between Inflation and the Stock Market
There is no one to one correlation between the Stock Market and Inflation. Typically, most investors
stay away from the stock market when inflation goes up. This is because prices of shares along with
the prices of everything else go up without any corresponding increase in intrinsic value. Such a bull
phase soon leads to a market correction due to many investors deciding to realise profits.
Inflation and stock market the logistics:
Prices of stocks are determined by the net earnings of a company. It depends on how much profit, the
company is likely to make in the long run or the near future. If it is reckoned that a company is likely
to do well in the years to come, the stock prices of the company will escalate. On the other hand, if it
is observed from trends that the company may not do well in the long run, the stock prices will not be
high. In other words, the price of stocks is directly proportional to the performance of the company. In
the event when inflation increases, the company earnings (worth) will also subside. This will
adversely affect the stock prices and eventually the returns.

30. Comparison Of Aristotle And Aquinas And The Highest Good
Comparison of Aristotle and Aquinas and the highest good Both Aristotle and Aquinas were prominent
philosophers who wrote profound works that discussed the concept of a highest human good. They
also included their own terms of achieving aforesaid good. In Aristotle s Nicomachean Ethics, the
highest good is a state of constant seeking as a way of achieving full capacity as a human. The
writings of Aquinas have some similarities to the writings of Aristotle, however, in Treatise on Law,
he discusses the type and elements of law and allowed the role of God to influence his ideas. His
analysis of law ultimately names the highest human good as being in the perfect community with God.
Aquinas s argument supports obedience to law, preexisting inclinations for the good, and a resolution.
Aristotle requires that the person constantly seek to know and be at work, which can act as a positive
force that drives humans to improve themselves. In Book One of the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle
argues for an ultimate end, and that knowledge of the good should be influential and important to all
human life. He explains that it is better to act aimed at the good of the whole, meaning society, and
transcend the level of individual preservation (1094b5 1094b10). Aquinas created a hierarchy of rules
to follow when acting in the name of the good. There is a specific order of the precepts of natural law.

She states that this force enslaves man, force before which man s flesh shrinks away. She goes about
to answer the problem of X acting out in a superior way onto another person, and explains that this
force turns that person into a thing. The force imposed onto them not only degrades them into a slave,
but eventually kills their own sense of humanity and possibly their own lives. Now drawing this back
to Fahon perspective, it could be understood that both find a problem when two forces first interact
with each other. When the two are drastically different from one another, the more advanced and
developed culture is most likely going to feel superior to the other. This then often causes the
dominant culture to treat itself as the force Weil describes, and degrades the others into things.
Additionally, Weil also stresses that this force not only destroys the one being suppressed, but also the
one using the force. She explains that force is at pitless to the man who possesses it, or thinks he does,
as it is to its victims; the second it crushes, the first it intoxicates. This description could be explained
in history when looking back onto the exercises conducted by the Nazi Party. Those who seen as being
inferior by the Nazi s were degraded into things, and eventually killed. However, Weil would also say
that the force imposed by them also caused them to turn into irrational, senseless beings. While using
