.... thegovernment was not committed enough to the principles of the Great Society and thus, it unraveled. In addition to detailing the Great Society, Weisbrot also chronicles within his book, struggle for racial equality in America, from the first sit-in at a Greensboro, North Carolina Woolworth'to the freedom rides to the 1963 March on Washington. He incorporates all the pivotal and influencial civil rights organizations of the time, inlcuding the NAACP, CORE, SNCC and SCLC, and details their actions in moving toward racial equality. He also enlists personal accounts from those involved with the movement, incluing highly-regarded leaders and student protesters, to add a ....

.... war poem, but each from different spectrums of war. “Everyone Sang” is a two stanza, five-line poem that says so much about the imprisonment of war. The poem was written right after Sassoon’s release from the British army. He is so overjoyed to be released that he compares it too, “…prisoned birds must find in freedom Winging wildly across the white Orchards…” Like many other poets, he is terrified by war and was “filled with such delight” to be out. Sassoon witnessed the brutality on war, which hardened him to the idea of patriotism. “Everyone Sang” is a rejoice of freedom until the final two lines. ....

.... companions. He is, however, very naive and superstitious. Some critics say that Twain is implying that all blacks have these qualities. When Jim turns to his magic hairball for answers about the future, we see that he does believe in some foolish things. But all the same, he is visited by both blacks and whites to use the hairball's powers. This type of naivete was abundant at the time and found among all races-the result of a lack of proper education. So the depiction of Jim is not negative in the sense that Jim is stupid and inferior, and in this aspect of the story clearly there is no racism intended. It is next nece ....

.... the one who did everything that was good. The members of the Inner Party had complete and undoubted success because they achieved and maintained their goal, which was to become the most powerful people in the country and stay that way. They did many things to achieve this, including creating an imaginary evil force, known as the Brotherhood, which planned to overthrow them. They used this “Brotherhood” to blame all the bad things on and make Big Brother (and through him, themselves) look good by fighting against this “evil force”. The Inner Party was not happy with only physical obedience, they wanted complete obedience, including the human mind. Th ....

.... characteristics. A child is a human being, who as any other, has feelings and emotions. However, in this short story, the child was portrayed as completely different. "It is so thin there are no calves to its legs; its belly protrudes; it lives on a half-bowl of corn meal and grease a day. It is naked. Its buttocks and thighs are a mass of festered sores, as it sits in its own excrement continually." (Le Guin, p. 258) Furthermore, the reader also becomes aware of the filthy, unsanitary surroundings that the child is subjected to. (Le Guin, p. 259) After being given such a detailed description of the child, as well as his/her environment, feel ....

.... , which is included in Sven Birket's Literature: The Evolving Canon. I believe that the most important issues in the play are the "psychological issues" involved. How do two relatively unimportant characters in Shakespeare's play interpret what is going on around them? What is the audience's response? What role do the Players hold in each of the two works? As an authority on Shakespearean works, I would consider Stoppard's play to be very enriching in both the interpretation of as well as the consideration of what role plays in modern society. Aside from that, the play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" addresses issues of isolation, sanity, depression, and luck ....

.... and uncivilized the people on earth were. Kreton showed no respect for the state of civilization of the people on Earth. Again, Kreton showed no sign of knowing right from wrong. “He is morally retarded”, said the visitor, who gives away the theme near the end of the play, which is exactly correct. At no point during the play does Kreton show any sign of knowing anything about morals or love. He overlooks the love of the Speldings and everything that they give him. Instead of showing thanks to the Speldings, Kreton does the opposite and tries to start a war. I believe that kreton's care of only negative traits was both useful and destructive. Without even know ....

.... teenagers. (ok, there's not much difference in those categories but bear with me.) John Lennon was killed to promote this book. John Hinkley may have been trying to impress Jody Foster, but he was also a big Catcher in the Rye fan. The level of general craziness surrounding this book is so bad that Conspiracy Theory made it the running joke, even tracking Mel Gibson by monitoring purchases of The Catcher in the Rye. So why is this book so influential? Why do normal people have underlined copies in their personal library? Why is every book about whiney losers sitting around complaining about their lives, (where the major problem is that the damn author can't think of ....
