Philip Caputo's "A Rumor Of War"
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. That Philip Caputo, son to a middle class family from Westchester, Illinois and Pulitzer Prize winner (Sweet, 7-8), was no different than any other red-blooded American off to war and ready to defend his country is made quite clear from the outset; what takes the reader by surprise, however, is the manner by which his enthusiastic idealism is soon replaced with the horrific realities of armed battle where people are killed without so much as a second thought. Caputo – who "gained literary prominence from the publication of his memoirs" (Anonymous 14) – turns into the very individual he at one time chastises for being weak and callous, never realizing until deeply entrenched within the blood and guts of battle that the transformation from foolhardy invincibility to desensitized murderer occurs in the blink of an eye. Only someone who has lived this hell on earth can reach the depths of dehumanized portrayal that Caputo does, choosing his words ever so carefully to depict the authenticity of being in the Vietnam war. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Philip K. Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”
[ send me this essay ]
This 6
page report discusses the 1968 novel written by Dick that tells
the story of a human bounty hunter who seeks out androids to
destroy because such creatures so closely resemble human beings
that they have proven to be a threat. In the process, he has to
deal with his own understanding of what it means to be human and
what aspects of his world are as artificial as that of the
androids. This book was the inspiration for the Ridley Scott
movie “Blade Runner” but the report deals only with the novel.

Philosophical Aspects of “The Little Prince” by Antoine de
Saint-Exupery
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses “The Little Prince”
(1943) and a metaphor for freedom and an understanding of one’s
personal desires. Time and again, the reader understands that a
child’s perspective on the world can often remind an adult of who
he or she really is. To a great degree, the most meaningful
philosophical aspect of “The Little Prince” is in its
presentation of an attempt by a person to live authentically.
Bibliography lists 3 sources.

[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses the 1991 novel by Norwegian writer
Jostein Gaarder and offers specific examples of some of the
philosophical frameworks to which 14-year-old Sophie Amundsen is
exposed. Initially, Sophie receives anonymous notes in the mail
asking questions such as “who are you?” From that point on,
Sophie (and the reader) are introduced to the world of Western
philosophy that has stemmed from millennia of human beings asking
themselves and each other exactly those questions. Sophie is
challenged by the messages she receives in the mail to actually
think about the nature of consciousness and cosmology.

Philosophy Presented in the “Epic of Gilgamesh”
[ send me this essay ]
This 6 page
report discusses the ways in which “The Epic of Gilgamesh” serves
to offer some measure of understanding into a culture’s ideals,
philosophies, and belief systems. Gilgamesh is the oldest
written epic known to exist in world history. It should be seen
as both a great poetic creation, as well as a documentation of
ancient humanity. Modern readers understand that many aspects of
contemporary existence -- friendship, desire for immortality,
lust, despair, self-awareness -- were as important to ancient
humanity as they are in the daily reality of the 21st century.
Bibliography lists 4 sources.
