Itâs easy to think that the world, or your world, would be a better place if everything were âperfectâ. Each of us has our own perspective as to what âperfectionâ means.

We see the way George Orwell portrays this in his book, Animal Farm. When a...

I do believe outsiders are simply those who are misunderstood or misjudged. For example, Steve Jobs was an odd man. He even agreed that he was an outsider, and he still was a very successful man. (How Steve Jobsâ differences ended up changing the world for all of us). That's just one example showing that those who may be successful today, or that you can relate to today were not always popular. It seems that outsiders happen to be misjudged...

A human experience also includes mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical characteristics of human life. The two texts that will...

The fetish woman, who 'too sang out in grief', provides a rather omenistic foreshadowing into a post-beowulf society, epitomising the fears of an unstable nation following the loss of their 'good king'. Although a drunken statement, Unferth's remark that 'no one has ever outlasted an entire night against Grendel' reminds the reader of Beowulf's unmatched nature, the character depicted as the greatest asset of the Geats, his involvement and subsequent martyrdom likely reducing civilian and warrior death as opposed to...
