        <description><![CDATA[If I understand you correctly, you want another historical event that would sort of go with the theme of this poem, is that right?
There are two themes that I see in this poem.  The first seems to be that senseless violence is well, senseless.  The second is that the middle of the 20th century was, in his opinion, a bad time to be alive.
I assume what you are looking for is another episode of what Brock might think was senseless violence. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In the short story 'Odour of Chrysanthemums' by D H Lawrence, the author geives special significance to these particular flowers. He makes sure to mention them growing outside the cottage, that the mother has one in her waistband, that there is a vase of them in the cold parlour and that the vase of chrysanthemums gets knocked over - and tellingly ,that she is sure to pick them up even she still has the dead body of her husband laid out in the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In the short story "The Haircut" by Ring Lardner, the narrator is the town barber.  He is telling his customer about the town and the exploits of the now deceased Jim Kendell.  Jim had a place of honor in the shop where he would plant himself on Saturday evenings.  Initially Jim seems like a nice fellow but the reader soon learns that Jim does not provide support for his ex-wife and children.  He is a heavy drinker as well.

        <description><![CDATA[That is a great question. Perhaps the Greeks can help you here. One of the basic maxims of the Greeks was summed up in the words, "Know thyself." The implication of this sentence is profound. If you know yourself, then you know that you are not divine. Therefore, you want to keep your proper place in life and not transgress the boundaries and domain of the gods. I think most traditional people who say that the right to create life and take...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The short story 'Haircut' by Ring Lardner takes the form of a one-way 'conversation', a story or sequence of stories told by a narrator who expects his 'listener' (readers) to listen to it but not necessarily to make any comment, as he would if he were in the barber's chair. The tone is of course, conversational and informal and this is emphasised by the heavy use of the vernacular or slang idioms in commons use at this period in history. The...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[
I agree with "the reader of books" a topic that is so broad spread as Indian Feminism could not possibly be considered homogenous (or of the same kind and nature). Without a clear understanding of exactly what you are asking, I could only say that my understanding of feminism is that this concept also includes the ability to make personal choices unique to the life, attitude, beliefs, and etc. of the individual. This would seem to refute the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Victor Frankenstein's mother dies.  Victor is an intelligent man from a wealthy family.  He goes to school and discovers that he has interests in the field of creating a human without disease.  In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Victor has a great deal of pride and confidence.  He knows he will be successful. Victor envisions himself being the great man who has created the perfect human.  He has elevated his stature to "God" by trying to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In answering this question, I would look at the character of Victor as an example of unchecked pride.  Victor is a man of science, but where his pride comes in is within the assertion that scientific prowess can solve all riddles of consciousness.  In this desire to appropriate the world in accordance to one's subjectivity, we see that science, and the way the Victor utilizes it, stresses that within its totality, all ambiguities are...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[
There is no doubt that the Mary Shelley novel, Frankenstein, is a study in pride. From very early on, Frankenstein sought fame, glory, perhaps immortality through the use of science to create life. It would have been different if he had some noble medical cause or cure that he was trying to advance, but he sought only to advance his own self and knowledge. This pride led to the death of innocent loved ones and eveutually destroyed...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Romance, passion, and sexual pleasure are among the most basic drives and healers that Rob gained. Rob needs the endorphin high, and whole-body healing potential brought about by inviting joy, pleasure and passion into his life!
A good love life helps him to love life more fully. It can kick start his days, lift his spirits, and provide him a safe harbor to rest in. And therefore, he is blessed with perspective, balance, and inner peace.

        <description><![CDATA[It is encouraging to me to see books written that cause young readers to become excited to read. One the students I work with is a fourth grade special education student who has worked hard all summer and this school year to increase his reading ability enough that he can read Harry Potter books, first time he has ever been motivated tom read on his own. His parents recently told us that he has started reading it at home and is able to...]]></description>
