.... numbers, but also for the first time in American history, in jobs that were traditionally male dominated positions. The war effort actively recruited the women due to lack of males available for these factory positions in large part because most of the healthy males were engaged in active military service. It was during this time that many women discovered that they could be financially independent of their male family members and because disgruntled when the war effort ended; thus our male dominated society sought once again to sentence them to the limited existence they lived before the war. Gender conflict is not limited to females in our society. Men who seek to be hou ....

.... being done for some self-fulfillment purpose. He argues this by saying "Love of power, operating through greed and through personal ambition, was the cause of all these evils," in reference to the war (Thucydides 243). Basically, he states that humans will always be compelled to sin (breaking laws, harming others, etc.) because of the feeling that something can be gained out of it. Thucydides embellishes this concept even more, stating "…men were often killed on grounds of personal hatred or else by their debtors because of the money that they owed" (241). This is a direct example of personal wants and greed leading to massive sin. It is exactly this selfish concept whi ....

.... effort as he could! He struggled for independence and freedom in a world he desperately wanted to be a part of. A statement such as, “Im gonna try awful hard” is often heard spoken by Charlie. Everybody notices how hard Charlie tries to be what he considers normal. Dr. Strauss described Charlie best when he said, “But most people of his low mentality are hostile and uncooperative. They are usually dull, apathetic, and hard to reach. He has a good nature. He’s interested and eager to please”. If a person is doing the best they can for the circumstances, isn’t that the best? Why should a person feel pressured to be what he isn’ ....

.... the continuing presence and quiet work of the Holy Spirit. These images combine to assure the reader that although the world may look bleak, man may yet hope, because God, through the sacrifice of Christ and the descent of His Holy Spirit, has overcome the world. The opening line of "God’s Grandeur" is reminiscent both of the Creation story and of some verses from the Book of Wisdom. The word "charged" leads one to think of a spark or light, and so thoughts of the Creation, which began with a spark of light, are not far off: "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light" (Gen. 1.3). Yet this "charge" was not a one time occurrence; "[t]he world is charged with the ....

.... notion that society cannot be governed by might alone is a prevalent theme throughout the work. He expresses the ideals of “might vs. right” as it relates to a world much like our world today. He clearly understands that “might” rules the actions of individuals, but “right” is the ideal that we seek to obtain. As we often find, the former prevails. The novel is divided into four sections that represent periods of time in Arthur’s life. The novel begins with The Sword in the Stone, the tale of Arthur’s childhood. At this time, he is not referred to as Arthur but Wart. His foster brother gave him this name and it was ....
