.... for them, they must learn to do it themselves. Unlike the Fordians, the Savages are taught functional skills, such as stitching up simple tears and weaving. In the story Mitsima, an old man from the reservation, teaches John the Savage how to make a clay pot, using nothing but a lump of clay and his own two hands. This is a very practical and useful tool. The Savages are taught to cook for themselves, and to clean for themselves. These teachings help the individual to grow practically. The Savages also bestow good ideals in their people from which they can learn, understand, and grow. One of the most important things that the Savages are taught is self-control. The Whippin ....

.... reason for half of his problems. He does not take responsibility for his own actions. Teens his age are supposed to be responsible for their actions and conduct but Holden has a habit of never owning up his mistake, instead he always blames some one else for his follies. He has no commitment towards important human relation such as parents, friends, teachers etc. He subjects every one he meets to a probing examination, and almost every one fails. This factor also significantly contributes toward his loneliness. Holden's inability to communicate and deal with people effectively is probably the largest obstruction in his path to maturity. Throughout the book we see that how h ....

.... are human beings too, at all ages. Amanda Wingfield possessed none of these qualities. She had her own intentions for her children, and was determined to have her children live these out. To be successful in raising a child, one must always take into consideration what the child itself wants. There is no use in trying to raise a child to be something that it has no intention of being. This is something of a common occurrence, and it is unfortunate how many young dreams are smashed by parents who want "only the best" for their children. Not every child is destined for fame and fortune. Many may simply wish to lead a happy, mundane life much like Laura. Amanda fails to reali ....

.... In “Cinderella”, both of the stepsisters are wicked, but in “Ever After”, her sister Jacqueline is not so wicked and usually sides with Danielle. In “Ever After”, Jacqueline is the not so pretty and quiet sister and Marguerite is the loud obnoxious pretty one. One similarity is that in both movies, Cinderella and Danielle are servants to their stepmother and stepsisters. They are also not allowed to eat with them, only serve them. In “Ever After”, Danielle’s only friends are the other servants of the house, this is similar to how Cinderella is friends with the mice that live in her house. In both cases their f ....

.... a perceptive child, and soon gets to know one of the island’s many Japanese girls, named Hatsue. As fate would have it, they fall in love with each other in Shakespeare-like-fashion. The problem of them coming from two different races of people forces them to be secretive about their relationship. When Hatsue is forced to move away because of WWII regulations, she ends her relationship with Ishmael, sending him into a life filled with jealousy and grief. Howard Frank Mosher paints the same portrait for us, only in a more commonly know setting. A black man and his son are cognizant of their color when they are forced to live in a town of solely white people. As the m ....

.... to discuss the news of his son's disobedience. Commenting on how shocking Nnaemeka's behavior was, the villagers look down on Okeke's son. They think he is a bad son, even calling him "sick" and needing a doctor or herbalist to cure his disobedience. During the tribe members' discussion, Okeke does not stand up for his son or argue that perhaps the rest of them may be wrong about how serious the situation really is. He agrees that Nnaemeka cannot be an exception, he must follow the traditions no matter what. Which is why Okeke picks out a suitable girl he thinks his son should marry. By following the tribe's customs, he is able to preserve his family's history and her ....

.... live out the true meaning of its creed, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." These rhetorical devices help Martin Luther King, Jr. keep his audience attentive and highly interested. Patrick Henry uses biblical allusion when he states, "It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our Country." Another rhetorical device that Henry uses well is imagery. A good example of Henry's imagery is, "The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms!" Henry uses these and many more devices to keep the attention and the open mi ....

.... animals had done their share of the work. Some however could not do some of the hard and large tasks, so Boxer took it upon himself to do it. Boxer was described as to have the strength of two ordinary horses. He had a white stripe down his nose that had given him a very stupid look. That look that he had was also true; Boxer wasn’t the smartest animal on the farm. His lack of intelligence however was all covered up by his brute strength. It was said that after the rebellion he had the great strength not only two, but now three horses. Since he had this kind of strength, many hard and difficult tasks that required a large amount of strength were usually complet ....
