.... but lack of such emotion would be robbing Aeneus of his satisfaction. When Aeneus retells the loss of his wife, Creusa, he says, "She alone failed her friends, her child, her husband." (A, II, 963-64). Aeneus shows no sorrow for losing her, but blames her for not being next to his side. Although Aeneus made his wife follow him, she is to blame for not making it out of Troy. His insensitivity shown through the loss of his wife characterizes his feelings about woman that love him. She loved him for so long and he can't feel sad or shattered. A wife for so long, he can't keep track .....

.... it is in a book it "does not mean [he's] got to believe it" (1301). Sam believes that "Jesus Christ" (1302) was "a man of magnitude" (1300). Hally is obviously against Sam's suggestion of Jesus Christ, because Hally makes it clear that he is "an atheist" (1303). This disagreement between Sam and Hally is really just an example of the religious tensions in South Africa during Fugard's lifetime between the "Theory of Evolution," (1301) which was becoming more accepted, and Christianity, which was taught by Jesus Christ. A second discussion between Sam and Hally that occurs after Hally learns t .....

.... and what impact the war had on people’s minds. Obviously, the Peloponesian War has brought a lot of stress and chaos into the society, so during this time some poets have foreseen the intellectual revolution. Euripides, however, was the first one who created the play where he opposed a barbarian to someone "civilized"; he has his Medea confront Jason. The civilized Jason is more barbaric in his emotional callousness than the barbarian Medea, but by the end of the play she exacts a barbaric penalty. The Nurse calls Medea a "strange woman." She is anything but typical. Euripides adm .....

.... the lack of cooperation they encounter while trying to do their jobs. In the middle is the White House press secretary Mike McCurry, a master at defusing volatile situations and walking the fine line with the press. Though less paranoid and cynical of the media than Clinton, he often finds himself on both ends of personal attacks and vendettas that veer far outside the arena of objective reporting. The anecdotes and carefully buried information that Kurtz has uncovered give this book a brisk pace, along with ample invaluable information that cuts to the core of this age of media overkill .....

.... troops. I did not realize how much effect the book had on me until I noticed how much life has changed for Wiesel and the rest of the Jews and how unexpected this change was. The book shows the progression of an innocent twelve year old boy whose life was devoted to studying the Torah and was changed to a life of terror. The book also shows how the German forces were so harsh at breaking the spirits of the Jews. Elie's faith in God, above all other things, is strong at the beginning of the novel, but grows weaker as time goes on. On the day of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, thous .....

.... the men are tarring the roof in summer. The effect of this is to immediately evoke within the viewer, the idea that Shawshank exists to contain individuals from the outside world, to torment them with the beauty of nature, yet, force them to exist in a world of ugliness and hatred. Every scene within the prison is framed by bars and dark sombre grays or blues as backdrop, the effect of which is to indicate the oppressive nature of life in "inside" and the dominance of the prison in the lives of every individual. The repression of Shawshank, as well as the enforced routine, is depicted by t .....

In Rushdie's book, Haroun is the son of Rashid Khalifa, a famous story-teller, who loses his powers of story-telling when his wife leaves him for Mr. Sengupta, a town clerk who hates fictional stories.

A Water Genie takes him to the Ocean of .....

.... it in all its' manifests. Poe used beauty in almost all of his poems, often to describe a woman. In Annabelle Lee, To Helen, and Ligeia, Poe uses eloquent words to describe the objects of his affection. The beauty of the women in these poems was tremendous, not only physically but spiritually. Poe saw beauty in all things, and strove to incorporate it into all of his stories. Often, though, the object of great beauty dies. Poe does this on purpose, for to him, the death of a beautiful woman was the most romantic subject of all. If a beautiful woman died then that beauty was preser .....

Roger Chillingworth is a new character being introduced. The hidden relationship between Hester and Chillingworth will lead to many events and turn the story in a different direction that is not just about the scarlet letter, but about Hester¹s past.
