.... came back to the past the last time and saw what happened Rufus told her "don’t leave, Dana" (Pg. 256). As Rufus grew older he never really learned to take good care of himself. Rufus is a man of his time. To begin with he treats his slaves the way any man would do in his period of time. Like the time when his father died and then he started to buy and sell slaves like any other slaveholder would do. Like Alice said "He’s all grown up now and part of the system" (Pg. 223).

.... France to kill The Duke of Cornwall. The King decides that Gloucester’s supposed treachery cannot be tolerated and orders that his eyes be torn out. At this point, Edmund seems to be unequivocally evil. This is undoubtedly false. Two of the other characters of the play, Goneril and Regan surely equal Edmund’s ferocity in their quest for power. Our first glimpse at the two surely begins to prove that fact. In this scene, the King asks that each of his three daughters profess their undying love to him before he distributes parts of the kingdom to them. Goneril and .....

An incursion into the adult world, or what Holden considers it to be, had been thwarted. In part, the failure happens because he doesn’t really know the rules, and also because loneliness is not a substitute for experience. Habitual lying is a trait not only found in adolescence but also in people of all ages. It is sometimes generated from a lack of self-esteem, boredom and self-preservation. Holde .....
