In my opinion, during a crisis situation there are three concepts that interplay to result in the atrocities: conflict, violence and war. Conflict being an ongoing struggle between two or more parties may lead to violence which can either be direct by inflicting physical pain or injury, or it may be structural via oppression, exploitation or domination. An ongoing systemic political violence betwe

‘The Republicans did more to lose the Spanish Civil War than the Nationalists did to win it’ Discuss. During the 1930’s Spain’s political divide grew until, to some, there seemed to be no other option than to seize power thus starting the civil war; in 1930 there was high levels of animosity between the left (socialist, communists and Republicans) and the right (Carlists/monarchist, CEDA, Falan

The research of Human Genome project The completion of Human Genome Project took 13 years in total; it started in October 1990 and finished in 2003.

However, the project is successful and it ended 2 years earlier than it was pl

Perhaps one of the most controversial and universally disputed wars in American history is the Vietnam War.

Cormac McCarthy is the author of many awe-inspiring books. In The Road, a glimpse is allowed into his powerful, poignant voice and unique style. As the man and boy travel the perilous road, they encounter many ominous people and life-threatening situations. McCarthy uses a plethora of literary devices to convey the dramatic experience the main characters undergo. McCarthy’s tone aids in exempli

This poem is about life and the decisions we make in it. I find it comforting to read this poem in times when I am making my own choices. The Road Not Taken has four stanzas of five lines each. In the first stanza, the poet describes his current situation. Here he is in the wood on an autumn’s day, when he comes to a fork in the road. We know that it is an autumn’s day because he describes the w

The poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, taken from a literal stance is one that is about a person, most likely Frost himself, who is walking through the woods on an autumn’s day and has come toward two separate paths where the road diverges. The speaker contemplates on whether he should take one road or the other, and after a comprehensive examination at one road, he decides to take the other

Arp and Greg Johnson, Perrine’s Literature: Structure, Sound and Sense, 10th ed. [Boston: Wadsworth, 2009] 725) gets memorized without r

By the opening line, “The roads diverged in a yellow wood”, the speaker took readers with him to his journey in the forest setting. It was where he came to face a fork in the road. The roads resembled pat

The Road Not Taken “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood” (1) is the first line in the poem by Robert Frost. This poem consists of four stanzas and each stanza has five lines. His poem is a reflection of what we do every day and that is making decisions. In this poem, the reader takes us with him as he must make a choice in his life. He looks towards both roads and see that they are equally the
