.... could not account for the history of his own state of Wisconsin purely in terms of "germ" theory because of the profound influence of Native American Indian culture in the region. Turner said that "the frontier divided the primitive from the civilized, the natural from the institutional, the savage from the cultured, the elemental from the complex." (Simonson, p.9) Though at first, the wilderness mastered the pioneer, the pioneer slowly transformed the wilderness. The pioneer underwent a process that "Americanized" him and freed him from his dependence on Europe. Subduing nature bec .....

.... her away and makes her his wife. Soon after Bianca takes her true love, and everyone laughs at the ill fortune of he who married Kate. This is a wonderful build up for a lesson on deception vs. honesty. Though two of the men in cooperation to win Bianca's love found and married beautiful, modest women, their relationships seem final and destined. Meanwhile, Petruchio takes Kate away and deals with his choice honestly, simultaneously flattering her, mentally aggravating her, and depriving her of food. Though this hell ensues for sometime, there is a day where Kate begins to lose her hatre .....

.... at the same time as winter, Thomas only had time to construct a "half-faced camp." Made of logs and boughs, it was enclosed on only three sides with a roaring fire for the fourth. The nearest water supply was a mile away, and the family had to survive on the abundance of wild game in the area. Less than two years after the move to Indiana, Mrs. Lincoln caught a horrible frontier disease known as "milk sick.". Thomas Lincoln returned to Kentucky to find a new wife. On December 2 he married Sarah Bush Johnston, a widow with three children, and took them all back to Indiana. Although there .....

.... both the play and the film (particularly in the characterisation of Paulina), it is much more prevalent in the movie. We can see Paulina’s strength from the start. As she strides confidently around the house and violently tears off a piece of chicken, the suggestion that she is unsuited to the domestic position which she has obviously been forced into by the side effects of her traumatic experience need not be made any clearer. Although possessing remarkable strength in both texts, the movie shows a much stronger, almost completely masculine Paulina. This Paulina has been almost entirely de .....

.... himself and goes with honor, which is different from initially failing). In the last lines of the story the author clearly acknowledges Beowulf’s overall triumph, "Telling stories of their dead king and his greatness, his glory, praising him for heroic deeds, for a life as noble as his name." Sir Gawain on the other hand is deemed a hero but seems to lack something that Beowulf simply does not. This is because he is a passive hero. Sir Gawain appears to be incapable and thoughtless at first, but he slowly proves himself by his subtle actions. Sir Gawain represents loyalty al .....

.... of what Prospero has said is very nice cute, but the most interesting part of this monologue is what Shakespeare himself is saying. "Now that my charms are all o'erthrown, and what strength I have's mine own" means, now my plays are over, and it's no longer my characters speaking. The "Island" or stage Shakespeare is on is now "bare" and it is time for "you" the audience to release Shakespeare and his actors from this play with the "help of [y]our good hands." Shakespeare was not only being released for the performance of the play, he was being release from his career a .....

.... strong both against the deed; then, as his host, who should against his murderer shut the door, not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues will plead like angels trumpet- tongued against The deep damnation of his taking-off: And pity, like a naked newborn babe, striding the blast, or heavan's cherubin horsed upon the sightless couriers of the air, shall blow the horrid deed in every eye, That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition .....

.... attention. This book takes place during World War II. Elie Wiesel and his family are taken to Auschwitz, one of the worst -2- camps during the holocaust. His family and him are persecuted for really no reason, as were the rest of the Jews at this time. All of the information presented were the many things I have learnt in classes, about World War II. An example is when the Nazis would tell people that they were taking them to the shower room. The people would all be stripped of their clothes and thrown in. The next moment, a lethal gas would start coming out of the walls, and kill t .....

.... come to mind when a person chooses a career. Another important decision someone must make is if or when to get married. When someone feels that it is the right time for them to make such a serious commitment many questions may enter their mind. They must decide if they feel they are ready to spend the rest of their life with someone. Also, if they can financially, mentally, and emotionally support another person. Getting married is a tremendous decision in ones life that must be thought through completely before that decision is made. One other significant decision in a person’s .....

.... the Bohemian people were constantly revolting for their freedom. This was probably one of the reasons for the religious Shimerdas move to America, to get away from those many "hard times." "All the time she say: 'America big country; much money, much land for my boys, much husband for my girls…my mama, she want Ambrosch for be rich, with many cattle." This must have been the main factor for the move from their "kawn-tree." Unfortunately, not all the Shimerdas were excited by the move. "My papa sad for the old country. He not look good. He never make music anymore…He don't like this kaw .....
