.... word power meant to have strength and the ability to do something, "With all thair strang *poweir" (OED 2536) Nearly three hundred years later in 1785 the word power carried the same meaning of control, strength, and force, "power to produce an effect, supposes power not to produce it; otherwise it is not power but necessity" (OED 2536). This definition explains how the power government or social institutions rests in their ability to command people, rocks, colonies to do something they otherwise would not do.

.... in opposition and by using the word claims, Achilles implies that he himself is the greatest Achian, not Agamemnon. To punish Achilles, Agamemnon takes away his prize, Briseis, and makes an example of Achilles so that, “another man may shrink back/ from likening himself to me and contending against me” ( 1. 186-7). At this point Achilles’ heart is filled with menis (divine anger or wrath), and he vows to punish all of the Achains. This total anger is part of Zeus’ plan to balance out the pride and power between these two men, and puts them in their appropriate places, far beneat .....

.... the army has taken Troy. The leader is skeptical and asks her to repeat herself several times. The Queen gets angry and tells him she is not a "credulous girl." When the leader asks how Clytemnestra found out the city was taken so quickly, she tells him that one God delivered the message to another and so on. He yet again asks her, which makes it seem he thinks she is a young girl with little sense. When the leader finally accepts her answer, he belittles her again by saying it was "worthy of a wise man's utterance." Although the Queen has power while the King is gone, it means almos .....

.... kind of teacher to be. They do not listen to the reasons you gave to them. Besides, it is very important that they absorb only good things. I always picture myself as a kindergarten teacher whom all kids gather around and call teacher. Hoping that after they go off my class, they would be nice and gentle, full of quality to be successful, and respect other people. In order to reach my goal and follow my dream, I would have to be succesfully graduated from high school. I would go to a good university, and do well in it. I would also want to have acadamic degrees, at least a Master’s d .....

.... impression of him was as a bully, therefore, we think that Gene is afraid of him, which would make him insecure. Another example of Gene's insecurity occurs just after Gene and Phineas meet. "That first day, standing in our comfortless room amid his clothes, he began to talk and I began to listen."(100) This quotation shows that Gene was too afraid to say what he wanted. He did not have enough courage even to interject when Phineas was talking. This shows that Gene was insecure about his ideas and point of view. Throughout the story we also see Gene to be very envious of Phineas. An example .....

.... to favor the ripest-and hence the sweetest-fruit. In other words, the selective pressures of times past are most strikingly revealed by the artificial, supernormal stimulus of refined sugar, despite the evidence that eating refined sugar is maladaptive. With such an obsession with sweet foods, there is an obvious desire for an explanation of how such a once unknown substance took center stage on everybody’s snack, dessert, and candy list. That’s where Sidney W. Mintz comes into play. He decided to write this book , and from the looks of all the sources he used to substantiate .....

.... casino Mafia. As if that weren't bad enough there was crime going on everywhere in the casino. this is very similar to real life because there have always been reports of crimes that tourists themselves have faced. One tourists I met was robbed in broad daylight. Another tourist's belongings were stolen from their own room by the maids that were supposed to clean his room. If gambling is so fun, then why is there so much crime where gambling is legal? Yet another problem with gambling is that many people develop a gambling problem. This problem has been compared to alcoholism. In conclusion .....

.... Burbage. There is very little indication that he was troubled in any way by having to do this. The stories he told were familiar ones, from popular storybooks or from English and Roman history. Sometimes they were adapted, as Hamlet was, from earlier plays that had begun to seem old-fashioned. Part of Shakespeare's success came from the fact that he had a knack for making these old tales come to life. When you read Hamlet, or any other Shakespearean play, the first .....
