601 Words - 3 Pages.... drug or family, but we hardly ever catch a glimpse at
this side.
One of the people that I see living the great American dream would
have to be Will Smith. I feel that he is living the dream because it seems
as though he has it all. Hit movies, hit cd's, a beautiful wife, a beatiful
child, money and lots of it, and health. The main reason though that I
think he is living this dream is because he was voted the number one nicest
actor on and off the set. This would be a great title to be given. I would

Because at that time neither separation nor divorce existed" explains why she didn't leave. At that time marriages "could only be ended in the case of very serious ill treatment." Augusto never hurt Olga, so she had no decent reason to leave him, although her heart was against staying with him.
Another time where Olga didn't follow her heart was when she didn't go to University. Olga dearly wanted to go to University to receive a "classical education." Her father though, believed there was no point to it and fel ....

give me my spear.' Then the King got his spear in his hands and ran towards

dignity. Immense care and respect was imposed into the weapons of the king.
The noble King Arthur utilized the arms of his time, opposed to Beowulf's

slaying evil demons with nothing but his bare hands. "…Knew at once that
nowhere ....

wolves and he finished his long assignment by having great compassion for them. ....

The next conflict is her age. The narrator does not mention exactly how old Phoenix is, but “her eyes were blue with age. Her skin had a pattern all its own of numbering branchless wrinkles…” (Roberts 197). This supports the idea that she is advanced in years, and as she makes the journey to town periodically it becomes harder and harder for her.
Another is a question of her sanity. Support for the theory that Phoenix is losing ....
