The pace of technological evolution is quickening every day, as seen in new smartphones, tablets, and computers. While these achievements seem very impressive, they pale in comparison to the monumental achievement made by NASA, where they successfully put two men on the moon. On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy set up a national goal, and it was to perform a crewed lunar landing and return to Earth. Less than a decade later, that goal was fulfilled when two men, Edwin Aldrin and Neil Armstrong
The decision to act against the establishment is never a simple decision and often involves the escalation of internal and external conditions for the whistleblower.

Only after an arduous cycle of institutional pressure and a series of internal realizations does Wigand decide to reveal B&W’s

The ode is a poetic form meant to praise or exult a certain individual, usually in regards to their athletic ability.

He praises the tuna for being the premier fish in the sea, and how even the dead fish is magnificent in comparison to the surrounding prosaic goods; Neruda insists it is a

Emily Dickinson is one of the most disputed and sophisticated poets of the mind in American Literature. Her challenging and ambiguous poems never cease to amaze with their complex messages and subtleties. The silenced selves and skepticism represent the key which keeps readers coming back to her verse, searching for new and innovative interpretations.

Misery loves company, and no experience is quite so miserable as a divorce, nor any situation as companionable as published confessional literature. Robert Lowell attempted to merge these naturally fitting extremes as best as he could in his collection of works entitled The Dolphin but was met with some pretty swift opposition. Elizabeth Bishop, a close friend and fellow writer of the time, expressed her displeasure of Lowell’s presentations of some aspects of his own love life through the text,

They are usually incapable of stepping back from their narratives to detect their own madness. The narrator 's’ fluency is meticulous and often opulent. It usually implies a revelation as a defense
The deafening thud of a heartbeat fills the air, muffling the cries of help while the old man thrashes underneath the weight of the schizophrenic narrator in "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe. Relief falls upon the murderer-for the old man dies at last. His eye will disturb him no longer. Poe 's utilization of imagery exhibits how the narrator perceives the geriatric man and steers the narrator into a pit of his own demise. The man justifies his perturbing actions to prove himself sane which

In an excerpt from her novel We Were the Mulvaneys, Joyce Carol Oates uses disorganized syntax, detailed imagery, and repetition to characterize the speaker, Judd Mulvaney, as a young, curious boy, coming-of-age and suddenly aware of his maturity and of the realities of life. In the excerpt, Oates uses disorganized and unusual syntax to display the enormity of Judd’s revelation, thus alluding to his sudden awareness and depicting him as a young boy shocked by the brevity of life.

Hegel believes that ، A man's fate is immediately connected with his own being ; it is something which, indeed, he may fight against, but which is really a part of his own life’. (Edward Caird,26,27). Therefore, it is believed that fate may be inevitable or unavoidable as well as divinely inspired. Fate is often associated with negative connotations when compared to destiny.
