.... Center as well as the Center for the study of Anorexia and Bulimia in New York City” (page 2). He is also a “current member of ANAD of Highland Park, Illinois” (page 2). This book does have a few weaknesses but more strengths. A weakness would have to be the ending. It is not eventful. I was hoping for a surprise of some sort, and it never came. However, I noted many strengths. The descriptive details seem great. Although the details appear rather gross at points, I think that is a good thing. That way a reader discovers the harsh reality of the disease. “The thinner is the winner” (rld Steven Levenkron page 25). This is a powerful quote because thinn ....

.... made his house. From surpluses of food, he made profits of silver. Without it, he would’ve had to become a beggar, or a worker for someone else. Farming was all Wang Lung knew how to do, and his land was all he needed to live. If, during work, Wang Lung became tired, he would lie down in a furrow and sleep for a while. While he slept, Wang Lung absorbed strength from the earth. It healed his spirit and he awoke ready to work. Wang Lung’s first experience away from his land was troubling for him. He had worked the land since the beginning of his life. He depended on it for his subsistence, as did his family. When a serious drought came, he had to abandon his land ....

.... to blame. It was society who stripped him of his dignity, piece by piece. It was society who stripped him of his lifestyle, and his own sons who stripped him of hope. The most obvious flaw in society is greed, the desire to get ahead of the next guy. This malady is present on a national level. It is the philosophy of business and comprises the dreams of man. Sometimes, this can drive man to great things, sometimes it can drive a man to ruin. Willy was driven to the latter. (Not his own greed for he was a simple man with simple dreams, but by the greed of others.) The developers who took away the sun and gave birth to shadows, his boss who reduced him to commission and ....

.... and living happily ever after, while the hidden messages are about subservience, degradation, and the idea that physical beauty is the most important aspect of women. Kolbenschlag and Yolen both agree that Cinderella was subservient and accepted the unjust and extra work that her siblings and (step)mother required of her (Kolbenschlag 525). Like a housemaid, she took everything they could give her and never complained. Snow White mirrored this behavior when she was rescued by the seven dwarfs. They told her to cook, clean, do odds and ends around the house, and other busy-work as in "Cinderella." Behaving just as her counterpart, Snow White complied without protest ....

Although she is not justified, Hester did not commit the greatest sin of the novel. She did not deliberately commit her sin or mean to hurt others. Hester's sin is that her passions and love were of more importance to her than the Puritan moral code. This is shown when she says to Dimmesdale, "What we did had a consecration of its own. We felt it so! We said so to each other!" Hester fully acknowledged her guilt and displayed it with pride to the world. This was obvious by the way she displayed the scarlet letter. It was elaborately designed ....

.... go to the grave with her pride if she doesn't give in. Finally, the use of "optimum time" plays on her emotions of how sweet the opportunity to make love to her would be. Marvell tells his mistress that the act would be almost animalistic and intense. Throughout the poem, he uses the phases of time in an attempt to frighten her into having sex with him. All three stanza's in the poem represent a different time frame. The first gives his mistress a feeling of unconditional love. He leads her to believe he would give all he has to her as long as time will permit. During the second stanza, Marvell plays on her fear of getting old. He warns her that her beauty ....
