Number of words: 1067 - Number of pages: 4.... hardships that many people faced and some still do to this day.
Tim O'Brien, like many Americans was drafted into the war in the
1960's. He was a college graduate from a small town in Minnesota. I could
not imagine graduating college and then being asked to fight in some war

Number of words: 576 - Number of pages: 3.... their Christmas enjoying the company and warmth of each other. They
found a way to have a wonderful time, despite their money problems. In
this day and age, Christmas is also known as a time to spend with loved
ones. The winter holidays are the most joyful because of the time we spend
with our close friends and relatives. No one could ever be happy spending

difference between Christmas one hundred years ago and Christmas in the
present. These days, giving gifts is considered more important than
celebrating Jesu .....

Also a point that might be good is that he has had bad luck with his goal for a great period of time and is sure i .....

A Book Of Double Meanings
Number of words: 1297 - Number of pages: 5.... causing revenge to be vowed on Gulliver. Rather than being happy that both the empress and the palace are not in ruin, the littleness of the government and the people in general is displayed in this act. Another display of the littleness is the fact that Gulliver is used as the Emperor's absolute weapon, but the emperor only uses him to conquer his world of two islands. This makes the emperor's ambition seem extremely low. Swift also criticizes the religious beliefs of the Lilliputians and England in the first story. In Lilliput, Ministers were chosen strictly on agility, or their .....

Number of words: 1145 - Number of pages: 5.... with a woman who persuades Moll to work for her as a prostitute.
Even though Moll is now married, she agrees to sell her body for profit. "I

Midsummer Nights Dream
Number of words: 1857 - Number of pages: 7.... discovered A. Since Demetrius only has two lines throughout the entire first act, it shows that he can't stand up for himself, likewise, this lack of speech displays his lack of self-confidence and image: Relent, sweet Hermia, and, Lysander, yield Thy crazed title to my certain right. (Demetrius, 1.1.93-94) Demetrius believes that since he has Egeus' approval, that Hermia should relinquish to him and states that Lysander is going against his privilege. B. Demetrius takes advantage of his stature by claiming Hermia as a right, which truly portrays his instability, but, at the same time shows .....

people dealt with the low standard of living.
There are many differences between him and me. One is that I have
never been persecuted. He was every day. That would not be fun. People
wanted to kill him, which wouldn't be fun either.
The other main difference was that he lives during a whole different
time and place. The era of today is a lot nicer, materially, than back
then, but there wasn't so much crime, either, which leads me t .....
