.... as his parents did. He went to the matchmaker. It was not so easy for Leo to appeal to Salzman, because he hoped to find the wife by himself. He wanted to be in love before he gets married. But he resorted to help. It was a firs time when he turned his mind over. Pine Salzman, the marriage broker, represented the old generation, and respected the old Jewish tradition.

.... to attend FSU and eventually graduate from there. After setting many collegiate football records as a top-notched, blue chip running back, he was drafted by a skeptical Dallas Cowboys football team. Jimmy Johnson, the head coach, knew that he would develop into the type of team leader and player the cowboys needed. Even though owner Jerry Jones was skeptical about the draft choice that Johnson was quietly pursuing. Emmitt proved to coach Jimmy Johnson that he had made the right pick by setting a record, three straight NFL rushing titles. Not even the great Walter Payton or Jim Brown had ever done this.

.... and emotional need for each other. The focus of his book is not on the adventure itself, but rather on the father-son relationship that springs up between Jim and Huck during their pilgrimage down the river.

After spending the summer in the east and seeing how money affects people, he decides to go back west. I see now that this has been a story of the west, after all-Tom and Gatsby, Daisy and Jordan and I, were all westerners and and perhaps we possessed some deficiency in common which made us subtly unadaptable to eastern life. In other words, after finding out what the east was really like, Nick lost his interest in being in the east and returned to the west. Gatsby ....

.... that she must discontinue the role of a doll and seek out her individuality. David Thomas describes the initial image of Nora as that of a doll wife who revels in the thought of luxuries that can now be afforded, who is become with flirtation, and engages in childlike acts of disobedience (259). This inferior role from which Nora progressed is extremely important.
