.... that Louisa had suffered from her fathers education system when Mr.Gradgrind had presented Louisa with Mr.Bounderby’s proposal of marriage. Upon Louisa’s response, Mr.Gradgrind had inquired whether or not she might have had another proposal which he was unaware of: “You have never entertained in secret any other proposal”(79). This led to Louisa revealing how her fathers school of facts had not permitted her to explore with her own emotions : “Father...what other proposal can have been made to me? Whom have I seen? Where have I been? What are my hearts experiences” (79). Louisa continues on explaining that he should have known better than t ....

.... for Chris and always needed the guys to support him. Time after time he wasn’t sure if he should pursue her. Knox always asked the guys what should he do with her and if he should even pursue Chris. Finally, after all of the absorbed advice given to him by his friends, he was able to maintain on his own. This was the same with the character of Laura in The Glass Menagerie. Laura was constantly held back and she needed support just like Knox. Tom and Amanda constantly pushed Laura to not hold herself back. Once again, as in "Dead Poet’s Society," a coed is used to free the character from their confinement. In The Glass Menagerie Jim is used exactly li ....

.... mother, Anticlea. Another incident would be Odysseus at Calypso’s Island. Let’s take a moment to think about this for a minute: a beautiful goddess, a bunch of beautiful slaves, and you’re the only man, not many people would complain about this situation! I mean, Odysseus was supposed to be some kind of a superman, but all he did was whine, whine, and cry! Now if he were a superman in truth, wouldn’t he have been trying to figure a way out of this predicament? But, still he sat on the shore crying, supposedly wanting his wife! In addition to Odysseus’s infantile, he, like Bill Clinton, had some affairs. His first affair was with an enchantress named Circe. ....

.... attempt to explain Raskolnikov’s deeds. Guilt as well as intellectual reasoning prove to be the main motivating factors behind the crime of Raskolnikov. Throughout the novel his actions are usually a result of his striking intelligence or his tormenting conscience, or in the situation of the murder, both. Raskolnikov’s idea to kill the old pawnbroker stems from a theory he was developing. It was probable that during his studies at the university he was aquatinted with the popular philosophies of two German thinkers of the time. One of these philosophers is George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, who had formulated a conception of an exceptional individual he called ....

.... murder of three young girls in the fall of 1965 in Tucson, Arizona. “Oates wrote the story after hearing Dylan’s song “Its All Over Now, Baby Blue” Oates also has dedicated the story to Dylan which has brought about a fair amount of mystery and speculation. (Joyce Carol Oates, Raines) Connie, a fifteen year old girl who likes to go off and have fun with her friends, meet and dream about boys and the idea of a perfect life and relationship is the main target of a clever malicious stalker, a man who intends to kidnap, rape and murder her. “She (Connie) is caught between her roles as a daughter, friend, sister, and object of sexual desire uncer ....

.... revelation that good will triumph over evil, and his acceptance of all nature as God's creation. It is impossible to believe that Coleridge was not thinking of the mysterious wind that blows on the Mariner, without any awareness of the wind as a Biblical symbol of the Holy Spirit. Coleridge could also not associate the murder of the albatross with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The reader is told that the Polar Spirit "loved the bird that loved the man who shot him with his bow." It is doubtful that someone with Coleridge’s Christian background and faith could fail to see here an analogy with God who loved his son who loved the men that killed him (Gardner 169 ....

.... never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men." Such a powerful opening sets the reader in store for the long journey ahead of them, for in just five lines Hurston has summarized the life of Man; he is symbolically yearning for his ship to come in with the tide, but only the lucky few attain this prize, while the rest are damned to forever watch, until death lets them stop. Another key symbol presented here is that of the horizon. Always far off in the distance, it represents Janie's desire to move forward. Unlike the others who are content to sit on their porches and watch the sun set, Janie wa ....

.... agree or disagree with Soloman and then give reasons as to why. The two presuppositions that will be discussed are money and measurement and the role of the rules. Money and Measurement In business, as in most games, we like to keep score. As one of Soloman's businessman friends told him "in business you always know how well you are doing. You just have to put your hand in your pocket." People often think the more money one has, the happier they are. You often hear people say "if I only had more money, I would be happy." Frequently the perceived level of success is compared to the size of one's bank account, the location of their house or the amount of cars in the ....
