.... like his father. I don’t think that he is very serious about this because he enjoys the pleasures of life and not much of his training. Chaucer’s thoughts of his appearance were: He was some twenty years of age, I guessed. In stature he was of moderate length,With wonderful agility and strength. (78-80) He stayed up mall night and partied so he did not get much sleep. The Oxford Cleric was an odd scholar. He had a skinny horse and he looks hollow. His clothes were worn thin because he spent all his money on learning. He took money from his friends and spent it on more knowledge: Wha .....

.... that Clinton could not find a viable political alternative to the GOP and eventually focused on the federal deficit and economics, the legacy of Reagan and Bush. Further, the author argues Clinton continued to shift his politics away from the left and more toward middle-ground, to the point of co-opting numerous issues of the Republican agenda while still supporting popular Democratic programs, "While rhetorically proclaiming that 'the era of big government is over,' Clinton also co-opted Republican positions on family values, crime, welfare reform, and a balanced budget…Thus, this New De .....

.... his only source of income was his friends loaning him money. Not to anyone’s surprise, he spent the money on books and education. He loved to teach others and be taught. He listened carefully to what everyone had to say and never said anything more than what was appropriate for the specific time. This showed his modesty and willingness to learn new viewpoints and not just teach everyone his views. The Friar was a happy and lustful man, who having taken a vow to poverty and preaching, added as part of his “job” begging people for money. He knew all the gossip about what was go .....

.... after this the description of the setting changed from a outdoor relax feel to an indoor tense feel. This also lead to the feelings of both characters towards each other, which was shown when the room was described, “ The door stood open, and the room with its white, monumental bed, its closed shutters, looked dim and mysterious.” Soon after this, Calixta who is then feeling the situation gets up to look outside the window, as not to keep looking at Alcee for she knows what may come of it. Alcee then also gets up to look out the window so that he may stand close to Calixta, w .....

.... way she is being treated by her husband, John. John is very protective of her wife because she is in all reality a very sick woman. She feels trapped because of this and the way she sees the paper must be an indication. She stays up late at night and hours on end during the day to stare at worthless, tattered, yellow wallpaper. This story really bored me to death. All I could think of was, "when is this story going to be over?" I remember having a highly active imagination as a child but this is ridiculous. She sees mushrooms sprouting and women shaking bars and she's a middle aged woma .....

.... and why turning three times and tying a lock of hair with thread was thought to prevent the bad luck. I also wondered how a hair ball became a way to read fortunes. I thought it was interesting when they decided the snake skin represented good luck and bad luck. They received good luck by finding the eight dollars in the pocket of an overcoat, which was a considerable find for the time. Later the bad came, when Huck ran out of tobacco. He ran into a rattle snake on his way, which he kills and leaves near Jim's blanket. At night Jim goes to his blanket to sleep, and the snake's mate bite .....

.... as Auden suggests, there are no utopias. In Venice, time is of the essence. If one were to momentarily forget the real world, one would be trampled down by its massive stampede of events, bonds, et cetera constantly being made, ubiquitously in its domain. Shylock and Antonio are just one pair of culprits adding to the ultimate imperfection of Venice. However, the bond made between Shylock and Antonio sets them completely apart from the normal villainy dealings, "If you repay me not on such a day... let the forfeit / Be nominated for an equal pound / Of your fair flesh, to be cut off and t .....

.... of one group by another was not new in history. They were anchored in the river, where ships went out to darkest Africa. Yet, as lately as Roman times, London's own river led, like the Congo, into a barbarous hinterland where the Romans went to make their profits. Soon darkness fell over London, while the ships that bore "civilization" to remote parts appeared out of the dark, carrying darkness with them, different only in kind to the darkness they encounter. These thoughts and feelings were merely part of the tale, for Conrad had a more personal story to tell, about a single man .....

.... two years later as the appointed caption of the Pharaon . Upon arrival, Dantes immediately attends to his father's needs instead of visiting his fiancée, thus demonstrating unselfish love for his father. Edmond possessed ambition balanced by a healthy respect for other human beings. Unfortunately, he was not without envious enemies. Several of his trusted companions secretly conspired to have Edmond thrown into prison. Within the dungeon of Chateau D'If, Edmond learned the truth of his imprisonment. He became engrossed in the need to harm those who wrought his troubles. Edmond Dantes ori .....

.... smart in school but probably knew very little about the outside world, also like Crabbe. One of the most important things Crabbe and Neil shared was “Actions speak louder than words” or “Seize the day”. When Neil secretly started going down to the theater for auditions he was trying to make his life worth-while and do something that he enjoyed. His father then came back from out of town to force Neil to quit acting. He told Neil that he was to become a doctor and not an actor. Neil then realized that he had no choice in his future. Much like Crabbe. Crabbes parents we're leading him .....
