.... was finished bathing, Stella was outside, so Stanley started questioning Blanche. She insisted that she had nothing to hide from him and let him go through all historical papers from Belle Reve, the plantation. While living with Stella and Stanley, Blanche had met a man named Mitch, who she started dating. She liked him a lot but she hid many things from him. Firstly, she hid secrets of her first lover, her husband Allan Grey. Every time she thought of him, she thought of how he killed himself and she heard the polka which played in the background. She did not want to speak of this to Mitc .....

.... Ona is a woman ahead of her time, unwilling to be controlled, even by the strong and powerful Agbadi, not only because of her individual desires, but because of her respect for the cultural norms of her society. From the onset of the story we learn that Agbadi proposes marriage to Ona. Since Ona's father, Chief Obi Umunna, had no sons, he raised Ona to be very assertive and assume what is considered boylike traits. Thus, like a man, her father raised her never "to stoop to any man" (629). Does this mean that women and men are not considered equals in this society? Evidently, it seems the onl .....

.... called out to him, Shine’s ultimate goal was to get safely to shore and leave the sinking ship. Shine swam to shore for thirty minutes before reaching the shore. Since Shine was part of the Titanic crew, he perhaps knew that swimming was his only chance to save his life; he was not going to stay there and drown. As Shine swam to shore, he came across a whale that wanted to eat him; this probably made Shine swim faster. Shine just wanted to get to safety. He perhaps thought that if he was not willing to stay on the ship while it sank, which would inevitable have led him to drown or get .....

.... contrast to the subjective style of the nineteenth century Romantic movement, which placed emphasis on individual feelings and emotions. It can be hypothesized that Chopin remained as a proponent of the Romantic Period in his compositional style, whilst Ravel, however, writing in the twentieth century, reverted to the Classical styles on occasions to gratify his own fascinations. Through the comparison of the musical elements of Chopin¡¦s Ballade in G minor, Op23 and Ravel¡¦s Alborada del gracioso from Miroirs, it becomes evident that Chopin¡¦s work remained within the framework of the .....

.... We don't get the opinion or side of the other gang. 5. The statement "the greasers and socs are more alike than different" means that each of them are gangs. Each of the gangs are after the same things. They are after power and protection. They all want to make a name for themselves. 6. Johnnie's mother reacts so strongly because she is scared that her son is finally dead. She feels that they have done so much for him and he is still in the gang. She is afraid that one day he will be killed in one of the gang fights. 7. Cherry's role in the book is to show that e .....

.... "The most basic value in the practice of medicine is obviously the sanctity of live." (21) Alodus Huxley’s novel, A Brave New World deals with many controversial moral conflicts. From the beginning of the novel when Huxley introduces us to his world with ectogenesis (test tube babies) which is one of the most controversial religious and ethical dilemmas (Huxley, 1-17). Among the many other issues in A Brave New World are the Anthrax bomb (and germ warfare in general), hypnopaediae (implanting subconscious prejudices without letting the person know), and phosphorus recovery (taking miner .....

.... day. He then proceeds to bombard us with images of natural nuisances such as windy days that "…shake the darling buds of May," hot weather magnified because it is coming from heaven, and changing seasons. Shakespeare has taken the idea of a warm breezy summer day and twisted it into a sweltering day with the sun beating down on us. However, in the lines after the destruction of a nice day, he makes us smile by the comments he showers on his love. He tells us that his love’s beauty shall remain the same at all times. "…thy…shall not fade." He places an exclama .....

.... legs feel better. The hustle and bustle of trying to catch a long subway ride home was almost unbearable. As Johnson’s character develops throughout this short story, some key events push him to his limit and cause him to lose control. First, an incident with his white female boss, his so-called “forelady”, in which she called him a “nigger”. Second, Johnson is standing in line for a cup of coffee. As soon as he is at the coffee urn to receive a cup of coffee the white waitress says, “No more coffee for awhile.” Third, Johnson arrives at home and his wife Mae has the radi .....

.... of wax that the manager breaks while he is talking about Kurtz. I don’t know, but if you ask me the manager wishes that the wax actually was Kurtz. I think that the oil painting that was done by Kurtz shows that he was completely aware of what was going on and what he was getting himself into. I also noticed that grass was mentioned a lot in the story. I remember from my class at Behrend that the professor mentioned that Conrad liked to include a lot of references to Biblical scripture in his works. I can’t remember what it was supposed to mean, but I think that the gras .....

.... glory”(392-393). However, Grendel’s mother soon retaliated against Hrothgar, so the celebration and praise was short lived. The second encounter involved Beowulf traveling to the lake where Grendel’s mother lived and killing her also. After Beowulf killed the beast, he was praised by his “glorious band of Geats”(597) who,”Carried Beowulf’s helmet, and his mail shirt”(600-601) as they walked back to find Hrothgar. As Beowulf entered Herot, he was “covered with glory for the daring Battles he had fought”(616) and he “sought Hrothgar to salute him and show Grendel’s head .....
