    Chirstopher Grau Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind Analysis

    In "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the Morality of Memory,” Chirstopher Grau examines the concept of memory removal from several philosophical viewpoints. The author includes the Utilitarian approach, where such a device would be applauded (and morally required) for it would increase happiness and lessen suffering. However, Grau also notes that since we learn from painful experiences, "denying (someone) useful information...would probably not be for the best...(maximum utility)," and consequently, not fulfill the Utilitarian objective (121). The author also analyzes the concept of memory removal from the ethical viewpoints voiced by Nagel, Nozick and Murdoch. However, the most poignant argument concerns the conscience choice…

To begin, “Then Kino’s fist closed over the pearl and his emotion broke over him. He put his head back and howled. His eyes rolled up and he screamed and his body was rigid” (Steinbeck 20).

    The Secret By Susan Griffin Analysis

    Griffin argues that everyone in society is a part of a larger matrix; that if we had been born to a different family, in a different time period, or to a different world, we would not be the same people we are today. Throughout her essay, Griffin ties together four seemingly separate people through their fears and secrets. Secrets are very powerful, in that just one secret can impact the lives of many, even if the person keeping the secret has no intentions of hurting anybody or changing the lives of others. While on the other hand, some people keep secrets to protect themselves and do not mind the pain it causes others. No matter how big the secret is, all secrets have penalties and consequences.…

    Always Smiling By Russell Noto Analysis

    Always Smiling, always is a piece is by Russell Noto created in 2014, and is located on the first floor of the Jen library. This piece jumped out at me for many reasons; it had this complex and thought out color scheme, you had light and happy colors in one and then ominous dark colors to really pop out against the white wall background, and with it consisting of two parts you had to do a double take to ponder if they were just obscenely close, or if these very different works of art were actually one whole in the greater layout of everything. After you get to spend some time truly appreciating this piece the overall idea of how people feel we must hide certain emotions becomes more and…

    A Literary Analysis Of 'My Favorite Chaperone'

    The story "My Favorite Chaperone" was really good and it described everything so well. The theme of this story is to always believe in yourself. Personally, I thought that theme fit the story very well because it played a role in all of the characters throughout the whole story. In the beginning Maya, the protagonist, and her family moves from Kazakhstan to America because they were running out of money. The transition of countries and schools were hard for her and her brother, Nurzhan.
