The Good Earth: Summary
1155 Words - 5 Pages.... when he was not satisfied with her. I think the Chinese culture
was too strict on the women.

main character Bernadette, who is concluding that she is one h ....

Parable Of The Sower - Communi
628 Words - 3 Pages.... harsh and frightening realities of the world outside the walls. A community, itself, should provide security, trust and honesty, and more importantly, happiness. “This is a small community, [they] all know each other here. [They] all depend on each other.
