.... (pg 56) Daru holds true to his morals even though he may be held accountable for his disobedience. Like Daru Balducci is very loyal, but this loyalty often pushes aside his good judgment. Balducci's characteristics are introduced through his reactions to adverse conditions . Camus illustrates Balducci as a loyal yet cowardly man, who's work often interferes with his morals. "Balducci painfully got down from his horse without letting go of the rope". (pg 48) Although Balducci realizes that tying a rope around a man is against his morals he attempts to ignore his conscience. "I don't .....

.... considers himself a true Jew because he (unlike Rueven) wears the traditional side curls and is educated in Yiddish. At first the two boys cannot stand each other, many times Danny refers to Rueven as "apikorsim," (32) which basically translates to... someone who is not true to their religion. These differences between the two soon become obsolete with one unfortunate accident, and make them realize they could use each other to get through some hard times. "Silence is all we dread. There's ransom in a voice--But Silence is infinity."-Emily Dickinson Emily Dickinson's quote can b .....

.... he could not reach her. Stars are far and they can not be reached by us. In GE Estella is presented as an impossible dream for Pip. In the same way Pip has expectations in a material level, Estella would be Pip's love expectation. In a Christian sense, the star is a quality applied to the Virgin Mary. Stars are used for orientation, to guide us when we are lost at night. We could say the Virgin Mary lights her sons in the night of sin. In the novel, Estella appears as a light, it is Pip's orientation and he always has her in his mind. If we look at the sky we can see different kinds of stars. .....

.... pressure from the “Good guys.” But, when the whole bunch is bad, the task may be too large. Assistant Manager, Phillip Tate, dated an employee. This we can work with. Both General Manager, William Bonney, and Manager, John Aston, should have a meeting with Tate and the employee to explain company policy (both, Bonney and Aston, need to be present to enforce the severity of the issue). Close monitoring should also be implemented for a while to ensure compliance. Bob Jackson, District Leader, and Bonney should perform a discreet investigation (wink, wink) to seek the truth in the ma .....

.... Indian reservation. While David must pretend, not just for the remainder of the novel, but for the next forty years, to be ignorant of Frank’s crimes, and therefore of much of what is happening although his parents do not realise that he has overheard their discussions. David’s previous image of Frank along with happy memories therefore were gone, never to return, and within six months of the funeral both him and his family left Bentrock, confirming his earlier, somewhat bitter judgement that “were the ones getting the shitty end of the stick”. A loss of David’s innocence .....

.... of capital punishment. This feeling might also be accompanied by confidence about the subject in its entirety, including both opposing sides. Parker uses many statistics and facts to get his point across without hesitation or restriction as is well illustrated by his second paragraph starting off, “In recent years, few murderers have been executed. In 1957, when 65 executions took place, the nation witnessed 8, 060 murders. In 1981, when 1 execution occurred, there were 22,520 murders.” This type of reference, which Parker uses quite frequently throughout his paper, directly reinforc .....

.... if it does not kill us, it tempts us! It misleads us! It contaminates us! It asks us to join in its ugliness, its abominations! (The Chosen 127) The Chosen "deals with the problems Jews have faced in trying to preserve their heritage – in particular, the problem of how to deal with the danger of assimilation" (Young)). The Jews have always been professionals occupying jobs in medicine, law, education, and other fields requiring a college degree. American Jews, however, face a dilemma: "Ideas from this secular world inevitably impinge upon an individual born in a church co .....

.... abuse that she was put through. As a teenager, Joan was morbidly obese which is what encouraged her mother's mistreatment and condescending attitude. A good example of this can be found when Joan's mother says to her (Pg. 87): "Is this all your good for? Sitting around and eating? Look at yourself, it's disgusting!" This shows us just how much her mother is focused on physical appearance. The way Joan feels about herself and her mother is clearly shown through her thoughts and reflections. Joan has little self-confidence or self esteem. (Pg. 124): "It seemed like everything my m .....

.... someone but as the story progresses, this changes. An example of Paul acting irrational because of the effect war had on him was when he was in the trenches and all of a sudden, a French soldier comes into the trench and Paul immediately stabs him without thinking about, for Paul is scared and emotionally scarred. After stabbing him, Paul leaves him alone to let him bleed to death. In that part of the story, Paul regains a little bit of his emotions because after he stabbed the man, he starts to feel very guilty about it. He tries to talk to the dead man and help the man’s wounds .....

.... bad luck hits her again. She chooses the wrong slip. She turns Bills suffering into her own. Because of her destiny her life came to an end. As she stands in the circle by herself all she could say is "this isn't fair"(Jackson 302). Mrs. Hutchinson a character in the story is somewhat related to Anne Hutchinson who was a caretaker of the sick. Anne ran to the aide of people by showing them her kindness and generosity. Mrs. Hutchinson in jacksons story ran to the aid of Bill Hutchinson, instead of letting him suffer. The historical Mrs. Hutchinson takes his suffering." The Lottery" is based .....
