.... one lives in based on personal integrity and honesty.” The concept of not-learning, being something that can be learned is an interesting phenomenon to me that is explored by Kohl in the title essay of his book. Sometimes a teacher may mistake a student for having a learning disability or a behavior problem, when rather the child is actually making a conscious choice to “not learn” certain values or morally unfavorable material that is being imposed on them. In Kohl’s own words, “To agree to learn from a stranger who does not respect your integrity causes a major loss of self .....

.... his somber barrier and shows emotions. At that point he became a man, not a hog. As far as the story tells, he never showed any sort of emotion before the shooting or after up until that point. A hog can't show emotions, but a man can. There is the epiphany of the story, where Mr. Wiggins realizes that the purpose of life is to help make the world a better place, and at that time he no longer minds visiting Jefferson and begins becoming his friend. Mr. Wiggins' relationship with his Aunt declined in this story, although it was never very strong. His Aunt treated him like he should be a .....

.... painting shows the kneeling Narcissus, outlined by the craggy rocks of what could only be Cape Creus's. On the right side of the painting, the scene has morphed into a more idyllic and classical scene, in which the kneeling Narcissus has become the statue of a hand, holding a cracked egg, from which emerges The Narcissus flower. This painting reminded me of the first chapter of Metamorphosis, where the main character, Gregor Samsa, first realizes that he is confronted with a ludicrous fate in the form of a gigantic insect. In both Kafka's and Dali's work, I noticed that they both implement .....

.... asleep . . . Beneath him, under all his limbs and his huge coiled tail, and about him on all sides stretching away across the unseen floors, lay countless piles of precious things, gold wrought and unwrought, gems and jewels, and silver red-stained in the ruby light. (The Hobbit pg.206)” This sounds comparable to a “kings ransom. For some reason people, when they see the dragons treasure, have an uncontrollable urge to steal some of it. “The wretch was terrified! /Yet still he reached out for more disaster/ and clutched the cup (230,231)” An interesting parallel is .....

.... their father. Steinbeck’s purpose in this is to illustrate the need of the Cain character in the story. Abel, Adam and Aron, is the opposite of his brother and naturally good and pure. The purpose of Adam and Aron in East of Eden is to clarify the belief that purity must know wickedness (Marks, Jay Lester. p.122). Steinbeck illustrates the need for both good and bad with the actions and beliefs of these supposed “good” characters. The representations of Abel, Adam and Aron are both described as unloving. Adam has not treated his children fairly and his treatment is ca .....

.... to her wedded lord" (p.256). Penelope was the picture of a perfect, devoted Greek wife. Homer also portrayed the loyal daughter type using Naussica, the young princess of Scheria and daughter of King Alcinous. Like most daughters from the Greek civilization, she thought the world of her parents, and they thought the world of her as well. We see that she thinks highly of her father because she refers to him as her "excellent father" and tells Odysseus about everything her father can give to him. Her father seems to be wrapped around her finger. I got this impression because when she aske .....

.... written word, these stories could now be put down for people to read and serve as a reminder of their folklore. Not only to them, but to future people who come to read these documents. We have been lucky in the fact that over the last few hundred years, we have recovered many works from all over the world, dating back through years that had been long forgotten to many of us. In a great many of these works we have come into contact with many tales of heroism and the fight between good and evil. Just as the heroism in these stories may take on different faces, so does the evil present itself in .....

He wants his son to sieze the day, sharing in the same expieriences he had during his earlier years. "We lived two different lives, your mother and I. I came from a people who held the wind as brother, because he is free, and the horse as companion because he is the living fleeting wind -- and your mother, well she came from the men who hold the earth steady as a brother. They are steady, settled people. We have been .....

.... seems almost grateful for his death and the chance to be free from her husband and marriage. One can say this is another reason why she should not be considered a sympathetic figure. But in fact those are the few signs that indicate Mrs. Mallard is completely without compassion. However, there is much more evidence in the story to suggest Mrs. Mallard should be viewed as a favorable character. The author states that after Mrs. Mallard was told of her husband’s death, “She wept at once, with a sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms.” From this statement, we can surmise M .....
