.... as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes directly facing each other -- bourgeoisie and proletariat" (Marx http://www.anu. edu.au/polsci/marx/classics/manifesto.html#Bourgoise). That was the initial statement of Karl Marx's Manifesto of the Communist party: the distinction of the main two classes, the upper or ruling class, the bourgeoisie, and the lower or working class, the proletariat. These two terms are used to classify a broad base of classes; however, for the movie, "The Thomas Crown Affair" these terms are not hard to infer. The main character, Thomas Crown is one of the most stereotypical chara ....

.... political base. However each criteria can exist in different forms and extremes. Members of a nation have a unity that is not merely legal, they form a nation due to collective experiences which are often rooted in history. Anthony Smith states that “to say that the modern world is a world of nations is to describe both a reality and an aspiration.” A common language is essential for all members to communicate thus this creates a major problem for nations as many nations include a huge diversity of languages, for example Britain. Therefore for a nation such as Britain to exist they must create their own ‘nationhood.’ It is this process of establishing a nationhoo ....

.... is the contrasted amounts of detail and abstract detail. In some sense, Boyle has mellowed over the two stories by leaving out many of the twists and turns of "Greasy Lake" in "," but in the same sense has become more exciting with more violence and action. The plots in the two stories are similar in structure and pattern of action. They both include violence and regretful lessons learned the hard way, and seam to involve similar events and characters. A definite change in Boyle’s plot over the course of the two stories however, is the loss in significance and importance of the plot and the take over by setting and character instead. A well-define ....

.... savagery. This event shows how evil and violence are hidden in everyone. Secondly, the break up in the tribe also enforces this point. They break up because, for many, they do not want to be civilized. By the mislead from Jack, they have escaped from what they used to be, to a world of killing, and evil, in another word, the evil sector of them had been released. This event shows how evils are present for all humans, and are waiting for the right chance to be released. Furthermore, looking at how Jack had changed it clearly states that evil is present in all. As an example, Jack had changed totally from what used to be a regular boy, into total savagery. If without la ....

.... the subject to you. Our bodies—to every hair and bit of skin—are received by us from our parents, and we must not presume to injure or wound them. This is the beginning of filial piety. When we have established our character by the practice of the (filial) course, so as to make our name famous in future ages and thereby glorify our parents, this is the end of filial piety. It commences with the service of parents; it proceeds to the service of the ruler; it is completed by the establishment of character. "It is said in the Major Odes of the Kingdom: Ever think of your ancestor, Cultivating your virtue."4 Notes 1. This is the zi or ....

.... for Buck. When his instincts stopped he learned on from his companions. Each dog had to take care of himself as Perrault only had so much time on his hands. If there was one problem it was with his companion Spitz. The two of them where aimed at each others throats from the day they met. It was a constant battle of who was king of the hill, one that would end in the others death. That day came when the team was chasing a rabbit through the woods. Buck was in the lead just inches behind the prey, when Spitz took a shortcut and jumped on Buck. It was a life and death struggle, Buck was bigger, Spitz was skilled. In the End Bucks shear strength prevailed. Once the job was do ....

.... might seem foolish. More believed that everyone, men, women, children, and adults would be farmers. Then and only then would the people be allowed to learn another trade such as carpentry or sewing. Also, the person could only practice that trade in their spare time. This idea does not seem reasonable to me. Why does someone have to be a farmer? This would mean that whoever did not want to farm was forced to. That is slavery. What about all the other things that a community needs to survive? Are those needs going to be put on a hold until farming was finished? Will ill people have to wait for a doctor until he has spare time to help? It seems that farming to provide ....

.... this and hurls giant boulders in the direction of the ship. A couple of the boulders came very close to sinking the ship. Still that was not enough for Odysseus. Carried away with his pride, he unwisely gave away his identity to Polythemus. Polythemus then called upon his father, Poseidon, to punish the man who had harmed him. Odysseus not only lost a few men, but also had a long miserable trip home. Odysseus also had a weakness for the opposite sex. He enjoyed women. Circe and Calypso played big parts in showing Odysseus' weakness for women. He stayed with Circe for one year and with Calypso for seven years. It is amazing to think that a man of such prowess and bravery h ....
