Synthesis Essays

Crafting an essay on the topic of "Synthesis Essays" presents a multifaceted challenge. Firstly,
delving into the realm of synthesis requires a comprehensive understanding of various sources,
concepts, and ideas, as synthesis essays necessitate the integration of disparate information to form a
cohesive argument. This demands meticulous research, critical analysis, and adept synthesis skills to
seamlessly weave together diverse perspectives into a unified narrative.

Moreover, the complexity of synthesis essays lies in the necessity to navigate through conflicting
viewpoints, discerning biases, and identifying overarching themes or patterns amidst the chaos of
information. It requires not only the ability to comprehend individual sources but also to discern
their relevance and significance within the broader context of the essay's thesis.

Furthermore, synthesizing information effectively entails more than mere summarization; it involves
the skillful interpretation, evaluation, and synthesis of ideas to construct a nuanced argument that
goes beyond the surface-level juxtaposition of sources.

In essence, writing a synthesis essay demands a high level of intellectual rigor, analytical prowess,
and writing proficiency to effectively synthesize disparate information into a cohesive, compelling
narrative that advances a coherent thesis.

The Biblical Warning Of God
We all have that concept of evil. Each religion has that dark figure that beckons
enticingly to pull us from the path of whatever deity we ve devoted ourselves to.
Lucifer for the Judeo Christians, Iblees for the Muslims, Mara for the Buddhists;
whatever one calls it, there is evil that looks to sway people from their path of faith. So
of course we as people, feel the need to set up defenses to prevent such a thing. The
biblical warning that Your adversary the Devil prowls around like a roaring lion,
seeking some one to devour (1 Peter 5:8) made the Devil an even more horrifying. (The
Horrors of Witchcraft and Demonic Possession, Brian P. Levak) figure, while the
prophecies in RevelationWe pray, we participate in religious rituals, and we even
sometimes tailor our lifestyles to fit a righteous one to please the god chosen and keep
away the evil that we so fear. That s easy to do when the Evil is just a scary image, but
how can we possibly take precautions when suddenly that Evil can inhabit us whether
we resist or not. No matter how different we are from each other, Demonic Possession
is something that all cultures seem to have, with their own remedies to the issue. The
concept of demonic possession is something that s existed for an unclear amount of time.
The Bible alludes to many instances of demons being driven out of people and the Qur
an tells of Jinns inhabiting the bodies of humans as well. It s obvious that abnormal
behavior has been recorded through the years
The Issue Of Animal Testing
In Regent Street in London s West End, a performance was staged in a Lush cosmetics
store window. In a revolutionary step towards the elimination of animal testing, artist
and activist Jacqueline Traide collaborated with Lush to present a disturbing display of
the potential circumstances of animal testing. Traide was dragged across the floor, had
her mouth stretched open with hooks, was force fed, had scientists give her injections,
had her hair shaved off, and had products tested on her skin and in her eyes all to create
a harsh display for potential people passing by. This unsettling exhibit of something akin
to torture was Lush s attempt to covey to their emphasis of cruelty free products and
push for people to sign the petition... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
She defamiliarizes the usual photos of miserable and damaged animals by placing herself
as the subject of animal testing. By creating a spectacle of herself, she draws curiosity
to viewers through her unconventional manner of depicting animal testing. The viewer
can only retreat to shock at realizing that an actual person was suffering and struggling
in response to the action of animal testing. Although Sontag argues that avoiding the
spectacle makes the purpose of the photo/exhibit more effective, this may only apply
to that of familiar exposure, such as war photos. The scenes portrayed in the store
window of Lush show novel forms of distress and torture. As Sontag point out, the
suffering presented in war photos produce more of a voyeuristic approach rather than a
push for change. Sontag states, Perhaps the only people with the right to look at images
of suffering of this extreme order are those who could do something to alleviate it or
those who could learn from it. The rest of us are voyeurs, whether we like it or not
(Sontag, 89). In Lush s campaign, the audience definitely has an opportunity to remodel
the system of cosmetics testing; they have the right to witness Traide s discomfort
since they can possibly evoke change especially since Traide has precisely prepared the
audience for it. Traide s performance produces more of a discomfort rather than
voyeurism leaving people with
At Transylvania University, One Area That Is Frequented
At Transylvania University, one area that is frequented by students is the common
space on the fourth floor of the Dalton Voight residence hall. This area is accessible
only to the upperclassmen students who live in this hall. The common area is directly
in front of the elevator with hallways of students rooms branching off on either side. A
window on the other side overlooks back circle, as it is called by the students, a
greenspace area in the middle of this residential area. In the warmer months, this area is
more populated. However, during the winter months, all the furniture has been removed
and students are only seen passing through back circle. In the common area, there is a
mix of styles of furniture that create many options... Show more content on

Clearly, many students have taken the mix of furniture to be a benefit, instead of the
contradiction that it seems to imply. The common area is also quite large and students
use all the space available to them by spreading out far from each other. When first
entering the area, most students would never think to sit immediately next to
someone or even at the table over. Even I do this myself when entering, never
considering sitting close to someone already there. For example, on one day while I
was studying there, there were also three other students were using this space to study
and we were all separated into four different corners. However, there is some
socialization that does take place there. The most common social interactions that I
have witnessed are between students passing through and stopping to talk with those
studying in the common area. One of the main facets of the common area is its open
design, leading directly to hallways of students rooms on the side and the elevator. As
a result, the traffic of students is a frequent experience of being in this space. Usually,
these spontaneous conversations are kept limited to small talk as both people are
working on separate activities. These social interactions are also short because it is
primarily a place for studying, so people do not want to be disruptive. Although this is
not a formal rule, it is implied because of the activities taking place there. The students
Essay about Eumenides
The Importance of Gender in Aeschylus Oresteia

Gender is made explicit as a theme throughout the Oresteia through a series of male
female conflicts and incorrectly gendered characters dominated by the figure of
Clytemnestra, a woman out of place. This opposition of gender then engenders all the
other oppositions of the trilogy; conflicts of oikos and polis, chthonic and Olympian, old
and young can be assigned to female and male spheres respectively. In this essay I will
look at how the polis examines itself in terms of gender by focusing on the Eumenides
exploration of the myth of matriarchy, issues of the conflict between oikos and polis and
the use of speech within the polis. I will then look at how these themes are ... Show more

Not only has the sex of the owners changed but also so has that of the source of the
inspiration but it is Zeus that Apollo speaks for (Eum. 19). This transition to a world
ordered by men is complemented by images of Apollo s journey to Delphi; the manly god
of fire Hephaestos civilizes this female savage country (Eum. 14) which has been
bequeathed by the female deities and a male head of state, Delphos (Eum. 16), who is
there to welcome Apollo and his new male order. The play opens with a hopeful
precedent for a return to a proper patriarchal society.

The Eumenides brings to mind other myths, Zeitlin notices that the trial scene has strong
connections with another Athenian myth of a trial that also is very concerned with
gender. Athena had to compete with Poseidon for the city of Athens and this was
decided by a vote. This was during a time when women had the right to vote, and lead
promiscuous lives and no one knew who his father was. The women side with Athena
and they out number the men by one and so Athena wins. The women however must be
punished for the use of their power and so patriarchal society is installed.1 Whether
Athenians felt at all uncomfortable with this founding myth of their female patron deity
is debateable but Athena s famous speech (Eum. 750 756) has been interpreted as a
returning of the favour. Athena may be siding with the male here but we are reminded of
her ties
Response To George Orwell s Essay Shooting An Elephant

Orwell Essay Response In George Orwell s essay Shooting an Elephant , the subject is
British imperialism. The birth of Orwell s essay was during the early 1900s, when the
British ruled Burma (Myanmar present day). His essay reflected/consisted of Orwell as a
young soldier trying to solve an over bearing conflict in which he had to chose between
shooting the elephant, which represented Britain s rule/imperialism or walk away and do
nothing to help the Burmese people. In Shooting an Elephant Orwell has an
Orwell demonstrates this by stating that the reason he shot the elephant was because of
the pressure he felt, caused by his Western power figure; everyone ... Show more content

The subject is an execution of a Burmese man, watched by Orwell, who was serving as a
guard for the British at that time. The unknown Burmese man is brought out to be killed,
Orwell sees that the man is still human, still living, and he sees the injustice and terrible
things that colonialism does to the natives.
Orwell s essay depicts inhumanity and is meant to show how colonialism only serves
to do cruelty in the world. Orwell would like his audience (people who are active in
politics or at least know the history/background on colonialism) ,to be aware of this. It
is most likely that Orwell would like his essay to reach out to politically active people
because he knows they are the ones who will likely get his point and agree with him and
possibly make a difference.
Orwell s essay shows how humans can become insensitive when it comes to taking a
life, throughout day to day repetition of murder. Orwell conveys the profound message
that a job sometimes forces people to act against their conscience. The author also
reveals the cruelty of hanging, and expresses his firm disapproval towards capital

series The Mortal Instruments. He was born in Idris in September 1989 and the eldest
child of Robert and Maryse Lightwood. His siblings are Isabelle Sophia, Max Joseph
(Rest his soul), and his adopted brother Jace Lightwood Herondale. Soon after he was
born, he and his family were exiled from Idris, because his parents had joined with a
rebel group called, The Circle of Raziel. An occult like group whose purpose was to
purify the world of demons, magical creatures, and all species of Downlorders for the
human kind. His family now runs the New York Institute for the Shadowhunter council

brother Jace prefers to use swords. Alec s preferred choice of weapon is the bow and
arrow. He is the only one in his family who has chosen the bow and arrow as his choice

Family Values And Values
Family Values What influences you to do what you do? For me, that s my family.
They drive me to better myself and to always learn more. I m always trying to better
myself for them. I would like to set a good example for my younger cousins, be able to
provide for my parents, and I want to be able to help provide for future generations; I
feel the best way to accomplish this is to further my education. I try to make my actions
reflect this, and the farther I go on this long road, that is my education, the more I
accomplish this.
I come from a big family, as my mom is the youngest of eight, therefore I have a lot of
cousins, and those cousins have children of their own, thus I have a lot of younger
cousins that look up to me. My family, as big as it is, is still a close knit family. We are
all considerably involved in each other s lives. It would be an outlier for us if anyone
of us goes longer than 2 days without seeing or talking to someone else in the family. I
try to help my younger cousins and guide them in the right direction. I even tutor one of
my cousins for her math class. I have a younger second cousin, who is like a mini me,
that I want to set a good example for. Sometimes when she plays pretend, she pretends
to be me. I have even given her one of my old name tags from work, and it s now her
favorite thing in her dress up bin. So, I feel that if she s following my footsteps, I want
to lead her in a good direction. I want the world for her, and while I m trying my best to
give her that, she still deserves more. Because of how she strong and brave she has
been in her life with all of her medical problems, I often feel like she is my role model.
Yet, she has decided that I am her role model, thus I have to step it up for her. If you
had a young child who parrots what you say and do, wouldn t that change what you say
and do? Wouldn t you treat everyone better? Wouldn t you try harder to be a better
person, at least for them?
When I was younger, my dad emphasized the importance of education. He has said that
when he was younger, he did not prioritize his education, and so he went into the
construction and mining workforces. He has always told my sister and I that he does not
want that kind of life for
