1. The Giver Dialectical Journal
1.The Presence of Feelings is Important From the beginning of the book, the author was trying to describe how a "perfect world' would be.
Everyone was living in a place with no pain, starvation nor death. Everything that they didn't like were all out of their living place. However, one
thing that they have never had was feelings. For example, when Jonas asked his parents if they loved him, his mother scolded him for using
"inappropriate" language. She told Jonas that "love" was a very meaningless word, that it was almost becoming obsolete. To Jonas, however, love
was a very real feeling. From this incident, we can obviously see that all people in this 'perfect world' had no love and emotion. Man and woman
were made up into one family and worked every day robotically, without having a sense of joy.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
If people there couldn't love, then their life would be as dull as hell, eventhough they lived in a "perfect world". 2.The Importance of Freedom From
the book "The Giver", I have noticed an important message that the author wanted to tell us – The importance of freedom. Everyone was once thought
that the Jonas' society was the most brilliant place in the universe. No war nor death could be found there. In the most extreme case, in order to
protect people there to be having a right choice, the way for them to achieve it was not by education, but to restrict them from choosing. Do you
want to be living in such a place without the freedom of choice? I guess no one does. Therefore, I learned that freedom is also an important element
to build up a balanced community. 3.The "needs" for people to feel pain When I was a little kid, if I was bumped into the wall or fell on a hard
floor, I would feel painful and cry. Once I even thought that pain should be eliminated from the world as it is making me feel so uncomfortable.

2. Textbooks Vs Textbooks
Would you trade your paperback books in for digital versions? Have you ever used an electronic textbook? Studies show that while young people are
interested in e–readers, two–thirds of them do not want to give up traditional print books (Doyne 2010). Kids are growing up in a world where
technology is all around them, it's all they know. Technology influences everything we do, most people use it on a daily basis, so why not make it
educational too? Many people use e–readers because they claim they can carry an entire library wherever they go (MiladyL 2016). Some denounce
the use of digital readers, calling it unhealthy and dangerous. But what are the facts? Is it a good idea to replace your paper with electronics?
(Richardson 2017) Technology influences everything we do and even books have not been left untouched. Today you can pick up one device that
contains all your books. Some of the cons of carrying your books around are that they are too heavy to carry around, they use a natural resource
during production, they are hard to see in bad lighting and for older people there's some strain on the eyes, and printed books are more expensive
than electronic versions. (Richardson 2017) Let's face it, mostly everyone has a phone or a tablet of some sort, so why not use them productively.
Books are so much cheaper digitally, some are even free. Some people will argue that the digital versions will put a glare on the screen and put a

3. Happiness And Happiness Analysis
Weiner is continuing his research in Switzerland with the help of journalist friend; Susan. She invites him to meet with a couple of Swiss people to
interview their views on happiness. A wealthy banker, a doctor, and a former Hollywood agent who's lived in Switzerland for the past ten years.
Weiner asks them on a scale of 1–10; "how happy are you these days?", and the responses are as expected, multiple eights and nines and even at
seven. The Swiss interviewees were shocked as Weiner to see that they were quite happy with their lives. During the interview with them, he further
asks, "what is it that makes them happy?" , the doctor replies, " Envy.", explaining that the Swiss will do anything to avoid envy with each other.
Living by rules and judgment for example; no flushing the toilet after ten or no laughing after midnight, etc. In addition to his research, he remembers
that a certain naturalist, claimed that humans have the innate love for nature through evolutionary past. Weiner then takes a trip to Bern; a place so
quaint, you might end up leaving from insanity, of it is so quiet and small. He then travels to Zurich for a short while, to see how well people on that
side of town spend their happiness. To his shock, it is actually slow–paced; every person is in no hurry to leave the beauty of the surroundings.
Switzerland is a place of rules and morals, but full of judgment and monitored actions. Rules do not create more happiness, because it restricts your

Rather than asking are prisons obsolete, what it seems like in the novel "Are Prison Obsolete" by Angela Y. Davis, Davis is asking is are prisons

condemned to a death penalty for their wrongdoings. So the question is, Are prisons obsolete. Although many people believe that those who commit
the crime but seem to be innocent should not be incarcerated, but many others believe that they should. In my opinion, they should simply because it
will make our community secure and a lot safer to live in. In the novel, Davis explains prisons as being helpful for people personal lives,

6. Adjectives In All The Pretty Horses
The Western adventure novel titled All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy presents the reader with a mood of solemnity and sorrow with intent
to illustrate how change inspires new drives to take action of one's life. A funeral for John Grady Cole's grandfather takes place during the passage,
prompting him to seek refuge in a land where a rancher's life is quickly becoming obsolete. Imagery within this passage is plentiful and comes in the
form of adjectives and descriptive language. To illustrate, McCarthy implemented imagery in the quote "[t]he floorboards creaked under his boots" (3).
The narrator's fixation on the darker mood that McCarthy develops in this passage commits to this atmosphere of sadness. The use of adjectives such

growing disconnection with the world around him. The pivotal problem, brought to acknowledgement by the mood of sadness created through

to learn that he cannot inherit the ranch that his grandfather left behind, making him realize that he will not be able to life the life he is accustomed to

The Internet: Out with the Old
In the book The Shallows by Nicholas Carr focuses on the issue of the Internet becoming our second nature to us humans and replacing everything
we know now with technology in a passage that appears in a chapter called, "Hal and Me." Nicholas Carr opens the passage by writing, "The net has
become my all–purpose medium..." (Carr 6). Next, he indicates that having access to so much material in a matter of seconds that he has all this
time on his hands to spend like a kid in a candy shop. Following that, Carr points out how other people, such as Bruce Friedman, a blogger who talks
about the internet changing his mental state, have "almost totally lost the ability to read and absorb a longish article on the web or in print" (Carr 7).
Finally, Carr closes the passage by stating reading books in the modern times is obsolete or even weird to see someone reading rather than using the
internet. Some might be troubled by what Carr says. They would argue that using the internet lets you absorb information faster and more efficient than
pushing through chapters of a book is a better way to think about the issue. On the other hand, Carr's position on this issue is good one for several
reasons. One is that people are losing interest completely with reading books or anything that involves having long, intensive focus because of the

Marshall McLuhan believes that the media is changing our society. He thinks that because of the media and the advancements in technology we are

things happening one at a time, but as technology develops things are happening all at once. Our world is becoming smaller, connected through the
media and technology. When something happens in the world we all get the message. He believes that the western world is becoming more group
oriented like the third world countries. The media changes the way we see, feel, hear and touch our world, it works to our senses. McLuhan also
believes that the medium is the message. He thinks that the way a message is delivered is more important than the message itself. Another theory of

in hours. To communicate people use to have to send letters to one another, having messages take days and even weeks to be delivered and read. The
advancements in telecommunications has made it so much faster and easier to communicate to anyone in the world instantly with the use of cell
phones. To find a piece of information people use to have to dig around countless of reference books. With advancements like the internet and
smartphones, people can learn or discover just about anything at an instant. Advancements in medical technology have dramatically improved life
expectancy in people. Vaccines prevent many diseases, an example being polio. Heart disease, one of the top reasons for death in many countries, has
been made more manageable thanks to advancements in heart surgery. People know more than they have ever had before thanks to improvements in

22. What Does The Fire Symbolize In Fahrenheit 451
Symbol Analysis Paper on Fahrenheit 451 Fire can only be extinguished in 3 ways: remove the fuel source, remove the oxygen, or remove the heat. In
the novel Fahrenheit 451, the main character, Guy Montag, is a firefighter whose job is to burn knowledge and books. In the society he lives in,
people are blissfully ignorant and are completely handicapped without the technology that they so heavily rely on. This imperfect society is known as a
dystopia. The author Ray Bradbury uses symbols throughout the novel to show the downfall and ultimate demise of this society. Fire is used by
Bradbury to depict the destruction of individuality and free thought. Bradbury vocalizes this through sayin, "With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this
great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor
playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history" (Bradbury 1). Bradbury uses the image of the
hose spitting kerosene to show the great destruction that Montag holds in his hands. This quote ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The phoenix in Fahrenheit 451 is a symbol of rebirth, or a second chance. In the novel, the author uses the phoenix to express how the broken,
tattered, society can be reborn into a new era of individuality and thought. "There was a silly damn bird called a phoenix back before Christ, every
few hundred years he built a pyre and burnt himself up....But every time he burnt himself up he sprang out of the ashes, he got himself born all over
again." (Bradbury 79). This is also relevant to WWII because there was a state of destruction so large that people thought it was end times, however,

24. Examples Of Archetype In Fahrenheit 451
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a novel showing the "Hero's Journey" archetype. This archetype shows the typical adventure of the hero, who goes
out and achieves great deeds on behalf of the civilization. In this book, the protagonist and "hero", Guy Montag, rebels against government laws set in
the dystopian society. He goes on a journey to preserve literature from becoming obsolete and meaningless.
While walking home, Guy meets Clarisse, a curious seventeen– year– old. This signals the Call to Adventure; Clarisse expands Montag's thinking, and
makes him question his society. "Are you happy?" (Bradbury 7). Montag has always seen himself as happy, but until Clarisse asked, he realized he is
not happy. His wife is a 'stranger' and a drug addict and he is questioning the true meaning of their society. But, Montag ignores this... Show more

After Montag escapes, he knows he won't return to the city. The Refusal of the Return is when the protagonist doubts he would be a good influence
and is happier in the newfound place; Montag felt strongly toward both. The Magic Flight returns the protagonist to how life was before the Call to
Adventure; the Magic Flight in Fahrenheit 451 is Guy Montag's exploration throughout the world with a group of literary aficionados until the
"rebirth" of the destroyed city. The book takes a special twist in the archetype at this point, and uniquely portrays the last few steps in the story. The
Rescue from Without would be Granger and his friends snapping Guy Montag out of his 'destruction' stupor; without them, Montag may be dazed and
frazzled, and his whole goal wouldn't be completed. Montag becomes the Book of Ecclesiastes, memorizing the book to preserve the lines rather than
to risk its destruction and extinction from human knowledge and mind. He uses his past knowledge as a fireman to secure his future, preserving books

25. How Digital Books Affect Consumer Lifestyle: Kindle Case...
I.Introduction Kindle is classified as an electronic reader which was released by Amazon in 2007. The Kindle is a handy and convenient e–book reader
that "provided the company with a way of maximizing sales of trade and other publications by catering to the wants of the digital public"
(Sapon–White, 2012). With the help of the wireless internet connections, it allows a customer to shop, download books, magazines and newspapers
which are available in digital format. The device is a portable, handheld device with a full keyboard. Decorative covers are available but the readers are
sold with the black and white covers as default ones. Kindle can hold about 3500 e–books. There are great advantages in wireless delivery for
consumers in Kindle. Users can watch a program or listen to a podcast or buy the book immediately. The delivery takes maximum 60 seconds to the
user. The little weight of the device is an added advantage for those of us suffering from lower back strain from years of carrying heavy books
(Cheshire, 2009). There are several disadvantages as well. Digital rights management on content and the complex process of migrating from other
formats are some of them.
II.Consumers on the go lifestyle The Kindle owners can keep books for pleasure, other reading material for themselves and for sharing with friends
and family on a single device that can be held easily and fits in any bag pack, purse or briefcase. E–books are easily available for purchase and

26. Comparing and Contrasting Revelation and Hebrews
Comparing and contrasting different written works is a key aspect to discovering truths about the Christian Bible. When we compare and contrast
canonical books, we can learn many things about the theology and context in which these books were written. Today, we will be comparing two
books from the New Testament: Hebrews and Revelation. While Hebrews is often referred to as an epistle, it is actually more similar to a sermon.
Revelation is a book that describes a supposed "vision" from the author John. John wrote this vision down on the instruction of a heavenly figure.
While we compare these books, we will specifically focus on their relation to Judaism and their positions on Judaism. We will examine three major
difference and/or similarities: Their views on the relevance of Jewish History, the superiority of Christ, and, the Second coming of the Messiah.
The first comparison that we will examine is how both Hebrews and Revelation view Jewish History. There is a difference in views between
Hebrews and Revelation regarding this topic. In Hebrews, Jewish law is viewed as obsolete. We can see this point emphasized in the following
passage: "When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to
disappear" (Hebrews 8:13). The author of Hebrews also wishes to bolster the point that scripture predicts that God would establish a new covenant
which would render the old covenant outdated. The book of Revelation,

29. Are Nuclear Weapons Strategically Obsolete?
Are Nuclear Weapons Strategically Obsolete? Why or Why not?
The ongoing debate of whether or not nuclear weapons are obsolete or not is a very complex one. Numerous studies have purported that nuclear
weapons no longer serve an important strategic purpose for countries such as the United States of America and Great Britain. Clausewitz stated that war
and politics were inextricably linked. So the distinction between "political" and "military" viability of nuclear weapons is one without meaning.
Essentially this implies that deterrence theory still works, at least between state actors. After all, no nuclear power has ever been attacked by another
state, and the same can't be said about attacks by nuclear powers on non–nuclear states. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Today the United States of America still possess approximately 1,300 tactical nuclear weapons, including about 480 bombs deployed on NATO
military bases deployed in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey and the United Kingdom. In response Russia is estimated to possess at
least 3,000 of these generally smaller, portable, but still devastating weapons. It only takes a fifteen–minute alert and the decision by one human being
at the touch of the button in the U.S. to deploy hundreds of nuclear warheads. Surely with still such a large number of nuclear weapons still easily
accessible, they cannot be strategically obsolete. Robert McNamara says, "It was luck that prevented nuclear war". He continues: "At the end we
lucked out. It was luck that prevented nuclear war.... Rational individuals came that close to total destruction of their societies. And that danger exists
today. The major lesson of the Cuban missile crisis is this: the indefinite combination of human fallibility and nuclear weapons will destroy nations". In

30. The Importance Of Science And Religion
Science and religion have, since the Enlightenment, been part in a constant struggle and debate based on their legitimacy and their coexistence. Mostly
Christianity has been criticized in this discussion due to the extreme positions some followers might have, but also most scholars still today have a
Christian background or still follow the Christian cults. The coexistence of science and religion poses an ethical problem since many deeply believe in
the absolute truth science can provide on the long term and fill the gaps of unknown knowledge the scientific community has right now. On the other
hand, religious people believe in a holy book that states to know the solutions and how to fill these gaps since they trust a holy spirit that has created
and managed the world. Faith followers also think that religion help them to have a greater sense of community and gratefulness through religious
practice. It is clear that science and religion provide answers to different questions which make them non–overlapping magisteria. This paper will argue
and defend the fact that science will not make religion obsolete since they provide different answers. To support this argument, the first part of this
paper will be an exposition of the argument and how scientists have perceived the issue, followed by a second part consecrated to a critical
evaluation of the problems as well as opposing points of view in order to finally conclude. Science will not make religion useless. Respected

The death of print in the newspaper industry is not worldwide, but there has been a rapid shift towards digital content. This shift is mostly due to the
changing consumer behaviour and the widely available free online content.
Not only have the amount of physical copies of newspapers and magazines decreased, but the written content has significantly changed too. Walter
Benjamin claims that the role of the storyteller is becoming obsolete, and the stories that are being told are of no relevance to the people of the
twenty first century. With more stories being written both, digitally and professionally, there is less of a need for people to orally speak about past
experiences. Modern story telling is no longer concerned with the multiple experiences of storytellers, and thus loses the concrete human meaning. The
need for storytelling has decreased due to the amount of facts and information that are readily available on the Internet. The stories that were once told
to pass on knowledge have no relevance, since more accurately stated facts and information are present in many online sources, which have been
backed with evidence. Thus, making the stories that were told previously not as accurate or reliable.

of these innovations would not exist today and it is clear that print is
