.... and she said she'd worked in an office, done clerical work. Steedman then goes on to say how she had sought out and verified that this lie was true: . . .I talked to my grandmother and she, puzzled, told me that Edna had never worked in any office, had in fact been apprenticed to a dry-cleaning firm that did tailoring and mending. Steedman later on sought additional opportunities to reveal her mother's evasion of the truth. From the top of page 650: . . .Now I can feel the deliberate vagueness in her accounts of those years: "When did you meet daddy?"-"Oh, at a dance, at home." There wer .....

.... effort. Indeed, the early years of this mission had an ambivalence which shows in the number of people who hedged their bets by practicing both Christian and Pagan rites at the same time, and in the number of people who promptly apostatized when a Christian king died. There is certainly no evidence for a large-scale conversion of the common people to Christianity at this time. Augustine was not the most diplomatic of men, and managed to antagonize many people of power and influence in Britain, not least among them the native British churchmen, wh .....

.... compassionate evaluation of Billy's response to the cruelty of life" (Bryfonski and Senick 614). This cruelty stems from death, time, renewal, war, and the lack of compassion for human life; all large themes "inextricably bound up" (Bryfonski and Mendelson 529) in this cyclically natured novel that tries to solve the great mystery of death for us, once and for all. Billy's life had revolved around these ideas from the time he was a child. At the age of twelve Billy "had undergone the real crises of his life, had found life meaningless even if he could not then articulate that concept, a .....

.... he introduces us to the idea that people in love communicate, sometimes at high decibels. He challenges us to look at the difference between reality and play-acting, specifically in the way courtly love distanced itself from the reality of real love. Claudio and Hero demonstrate the conventional play-acting of love. They do not know one another well, and because of this fact, they misread one another to near fatal ends. Their marriage has been slightly arranged, but is more based on a sexual attraction, which Shakespeare challenges as being adequate for real commitment. Her outstanding .....

.... the child of Jocasta and King Laius who was taken to the mountain by a shepard to be killed so the omen of the god apollo that Laius’ son would kill him and lay with Jocasta would not come true. was the weakest of his life at this point. If it has not been for the shepard spairing his life and giving him to Polybus to raise as his own would have died. Man walks on 2 feet when he has matured. This is a metaphor for when he reaches adulthood and leaves Corinth to escape the oracle. meets up with a band of travelers and in a rage kills them. Inadvertently has killed his own father. then .....

.... identity. Now I found this hard to believe at first – For me to be able to use this poem, (as it has been my one of my favourites for years) I though that for it to have ANYTHING to do with national identity I would have had to use my creative ability to dissect and warp aspects of the poem that COULD have something to do with national identity if the poet had actually CHOSEN to write about national identity. Basically a lot of windbagging- and as much I was looking forward to see how great my powers of persuasion were I finally realised that they wouldn’t be necessary. I realised that .....

.... and prayed that Lee would not order the charge. Michael Shaara takes you there, as soldiers saw the war and army life. He showed the true sorrow and terror. "Yet you learn to love it. Isn't that amazing? Long marches and no rest., up very early in the morning, and asleep late in the rain, and there's a marvelous excitement to it, a joy to wake in the morning, and feel the army all around you and see the campfires in the morning and smell the coffee…"[pg.125] Leadership in those days, was all about character, and conducting your self as a gentlemen. Shaara wrote of Gen. Armistead, .....

.... he has lost control, he has already been mortally wounded by Iago. Another example of this theme occurs between the main characters of the play and Iago. Since is a seasoned warrior and leader of the Venetian army, he believes that everyone underneath him will abide by his rulings and commands. And since has had a long term relationship with Iago, he has even more trust and faith in him. But Iago sees this and decides to take advantage of . This is first observed when Iago and Roderigo are speaking of their plan to get against Cassio. After Roderigo exits, Iago lets the audience kn .....

.... for they can only react, not act." The most obvious 'savage' character of A Streetcar Named Desire is Stanley Kowalski. He is a large well-toned, territorial male with simple beliefs and a short temper. He feels threatened by Blanche because she moves in on his territory and wants Stella to leave him. At first, Stanley acts physically dominant over both Blanche and Stella; by rifling through Blanches possessions (act 1 scene 3 pg.124 ), quoting to Stella and Blanche that 'every man is a king' (act scene 8 pg.197-198 ), throwing the radio out the window in a drunken frenzy and actually strik .....
