In Conor Grennan’s “the little princes” a young man by the name of Conor Grennan is bored with his typical day to day life and decides to spend his life savings on a yearlong trip around the world. Before he begins his worldwide trip, he volunteers at an orphanage in Nepal named “the little princes” mainly out of a sense of guilt rather than an actual desire to help. Expecting it to be a short and meaningless time he soon finds himself on a long and difficult journey that will change him in ways that he never expected. Through his time with the children of the orphanage Conor finds himself changing in ways he did not expect as he experiences the world outside of his own country, develops a genuine desire to help others before himself, and eventually gaining a new sense of purpose. This change brought on by his time spent with the children is apparent throughout his journey as he is tested again and again to see how far he will go and just what kind of man he will be in the end.

Comparing the The Analects (confucious) with the Prince (Machiavelli) is something like comparing George bush and Elizabeth May of the green party. Basically the wrtitings of The Analects totally disagrees with the writings of The Prince. Confucius believes people are easily improved and taught through self promotion and development, Machaveli however sees humanity in a much different light. Machiavelli was an innovator of realism politics and believed that people of power should conduct themselves as tyrants. Machiavelli and Confucius are from totally different time periods and different places in the world. Which could possibly be the reason The Analects and The Prince are so very

In the passages from the novels The Georges and the Jewels and Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse Both were written in the first person point of view. In the first passage from The Georges and the Jewels the point of view is first and it is told in a person's point of view. In the second passage from Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse the point of view is first, but it is a horse's point of view. There are a couple more similarities and differences on how the author uses the point of view to develop a character

Our Town is a novel that ideally expounds upon how important each and everyday day of our life is. However, we find ourselves stuck in an accustomed routine where as time passes without us even noticing how fast it is going by. The Stage Manager expresses this by saying, “suddenly, you are young and you make a decision to get married, and the next thing you know, you are seventy and that white haired lady at your side has eaten over fifty-thousand meals with you.” (Wilder 49). Falling into this routine could be detrimental to people’s attitude, dreams, and goals.

The Virgin of Jeanne d’Evreux was commissioned by Queen Jeanne d’Evreux, wife of King Charles IV, sometime between 1324 and 1339, and donated to the royal abbey church of Saint-Denis in 1339 according to the inscription on the pedestal (Barbier). French royals in the 13th and 14th centuries often had luxury works of metal and enamel commissioned for churches, palaces, or their private homes (Kleiner).

In E.P. Thompson’s essay “Time, Work-Discipline, and Industrial Capitalism”, he argues how the rise of standardized time, which coincided with employed labor and capitalism, changed how people view time from how “time passes” to “time spent”. Time became a commodity in which it could be bought and sold. Time that was not spent “properly” was considered wasted, which Thompson calls time-thrift, which preindustrial societies were not very preoccupied with in comparison. Thompson explores this transition of the sense of time in relationship to the Industrial Revolution, benefits and disadvantages to the new time-discipline, and a possible mixture of the old and new time-disciplines in the future.

The thought that Sissela Bok about the “whole truth” being attained is that it is impossible that it can be attained. She believes that people are lying deceived everyone, and sometime is used to protect the person. She also thinks that people that are lying is more important than anything in all of the decision that a simple lie brings. I believe she doesn’t have any faith that everyone could tell the truth. The truth is something that is hard to say, and people at times need to lie to protect their love ones. In the beginning of the chapter of “The Noble Lie” she explains how there are different lies. She explains how the lies have different reasons to for people doing it. For some of those reasons it is impossible to be completely truth. Some have to lie to protect others, and cover up the secrets that can be told. There are plenty reasons that there are to lie to people. She states, “The lies are often seen as necessary merely at one stage in the education of the public.” (Bok 166) This is something that everyone does growing up, and no one in one time of their life cannot lie to anyone.

Since Capote is trying to give a retrospective of how easily a life can be changed, he uses a simplistic diction to effortlessly bond with the reader and aid them in viewing their own life. He vividly describes the clutters ordinary last day with words and phrases such as, “in a hurry” (25), and “always has time” (25). Capote employs with the phrases “always has time” and “in a hurry” that the Clutter’s have all the time left in the world, and they are living their lives but not to their fullest. By the utilization of simple words the correlations between the Clutter’s simple life is able to be shown in an effective manner. Putting importance on every unimportant detail of the Clutter last day is what Capote does to try and reinforce the idea to the audience that nobody knows when their last day

     Indeed, we toil the best of our days, and “fritter away our lives by detail. ( )”, in order to earn the perishable items we acquire by destroying the ever resilient gift we have been given. We all live “meanly, likes ants… ( )”, and we forget to stop and look at our lives from a different perspective. In fact, our minds are constipated with thoughts we entertain to feel important, and do the job, to once again achieve greatness through our “things.” Our lives are so complex for such unjust reasons, and we all ponder the question that a wise man once asked, “why, should we live with such hurry and waste of life? ( )”

Kelly J. Mayes defines plot in The Norton Introduction to Literature as the way the author sequences and paces the events so as to shape our response and interpretation. Every piece of literature contains a plot pattern that follows Freytag’s pyramid. This pyramid consists of an exposition, rising action, a climax, falling action, and a conclusion. Though each story displays this pattern of organization, authors use many different literary devices to differentiate their work and to acquire the response they want to achieve from their audience. The author of “The Jewelry,” Guy De Maupassant, correctly followed Freytag’s Pyramid and used varied literary devices to create a suspenseful read for the audience.

In the short story, The Old Chevalier by Isak Dinsen, the male protagonist, Baron von Brackel reflects on his past sexual encounters with two women whose personalities are extremely different from one another. In many novels, short stories and comics authors would create two women as “polar opposites” for a man’s sexual and/or possessive gaze, which is evident in the text. In order to understand, why a man may be attracted to different character traits in women, I will examine The Baron’s attraction to Nathalie and The Mistress by looking at how literary works men portray women, what they find attractive and the fulfilment that men seek from a woman.

2. One could use money to buy time saving services like maids, babysitters, personal shoppers, or chauffeurs. Any of these time saving services can aid in helping to achieve a greater life satisfaction. By using money to buy time saving services, one could focus on achieving certain virtues, pleasures, or happiness. Time saving services will allow for a person to gain balance within their daily lives in order to achieve well-being. The only problem that I foresee is that the more a person works to gain wealth and buy time saving services, the less time that person will actually have to try and achieve virtues, pleasures, and happiness. The study examined people from different demographic and socioeconomic situations and concluded that people do benefit from buying time saving services. However, there needs to be a balance when purchasing time saving services because it could have negative impacts on well-being if one purchases too few or too many time saving services. Time saving services offers a greater life satisfaction when used in moderation, just like balancing one’s life to achieve virtues, pleasures, and happiness.

Time is only running out, and it is one of the most vital and overlooked qualities of life. Albert Camus highlights the theme of time in his 1947 novel, The Plague. Through the use of allegory and point of view, Camus substantiates that when people are not aware of time and its advancing, they are wasting the precious and limited time of their lives. He constantly establishes that the amount of consciousness obtained by a person is the difference between spending time wisely and foolishly.

The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli presents a detailed analysis of how to acquire political power and maintain it. The author discusses how great men should conduct themselves and the desired principles of a princely government. Utopia by Sir Thomas More illustrates what the character Raphael Hythloday, its narrator, suggests to be the perfect human society found in the island of Utopia. This essay looks at why Machiavelli thinks a prince needs to have virtù in order to rule well, and whether Fortuna can actually foster the prince’s virtù. It will also look at the extent to which Utopia provides an argument that a leader has to have virtù in order to govern well. The essay will explore if there is any proof in Utopia that Fortuna plays a role in fostering virtù.
