.... makes many insightful observations on human behavior in general. I will explore a few of these observations here, and attempt to show that Ishiguro’s work possesses meaning far beyond an examination of one emotionally-repressed servant. Ishiguro illustrates Stevens, and all of the old English butlers, as characters who basically amount to machines, unable to think for themselves. They see loyalty to the master as the only thing that matters in the world. Every time Stevens ends his lines with "sir," he is repressing his true identity. Ishiguro makes the reader wonder how on earth a person could get to be like this, for the sole reward of having the best si ....

.... an obvious difference, and it sent out more compassion towards the crowd. He then says act 3 scene 2 line 81, “the noble brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious, if it were so it was a grievous fault, and grievously hath Caesar answered it”. This meant that because Caesar was ambitious he deserved to die. He then says act 3 scene 2 line 91”Brutus is an honourable man. He hath brought many captures home to Rome, whose ransom did the general coffers fill. Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor hath cried, Caesar hath wept. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff, yet brutus says he was ambitious. And brutus is an honourable man” This meant Caesar ....

.... and headstrong. Neither of them believed they could be defeated. They fought for what they wanted and what they thought was just. Despite the subordinate roles of women in ancient Greek times, Antigone and Medea proved to be strong characters. Both Antigone and Medea had men they had to overcome in their quest for what they believed was right. Antigone’s main opponent is her uncle Creon. All she wants to do is give her brother, Polynices, a proper burial. Because Polynices was fighting to overtake Thebes, Creon makes a law against his burial; he wants Polynices body to rot in open air. “ No, he must be left unburied, his corpse carrion for the birds and dogs to ....

.... to school and live on campus. In “Day of the Last Rock Fight” they go to school eight class periods and come home. The similarities are both schools are all boys. Both of the schools have a conflict and could see girls when they didn't have school. The deaths in the two stories also differ. In “Dead Poets Society” there is 1 suicide and in “Day of the Last Rock Fight” there is 1 suicide and 1 murder. The suicide in “Day of the Last Rock Fight” is due to the fact that the cops found that Peter murdered the bully. And in “Dead Poets Society” it was because of pressure from the family. The father wanted him to be something that he didn't want for himself. T ....

.... righteously and did not contribute to the tragic deaths we speak of today. He has always tried to help Medea. Soon after they met, he relieved her of a wretched, barbarian life and introduced her to our great Greek land, teaching her “how to live by law instead of the sweet will of force” (line 538). When he arrived in Corinth, he further extended his generosity. An opportunity arose to preserve Medea and breed a royal progeny to be brothers to his children by marrying the daughter of our great king Creon (595-7). Medea refused to accept all that Jason offered and labeled him disloyal for seeking another wife. However, our great society allows men to pursue ....

.... part of the plan already might not work. For example, the nurse could insist on sleeping in Juliet’s sleeping chambers or Juliet’s’ parents could insist on it. If this was the matter, Friar should have an excuse that Juliet could use just in case. Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distilling liquor drink thou off; When presently through all thy veins shall run A cold and drowsy humor; for no pulse Shall keep his native progress, but surcease; (4.2.93-97) In this part of the plan, Juliet could drink the liquid but not drink all of it, or the potion might not work at all. Friar should make it clear to Juliet to drink the whole ....

.... worse when she describes what the flooded creek sounds like. "It sounded like the run-together whaps of a helicopter's propeller after the engine is off" (314). Then as she stood on the bridge she describes the creek as "It smashed under the bridge like a fist, but there is no end to its force" (315) Dillard uses similes to tell the reader of her fear. Dillard uses diction to show her excitement about the flood. Action verbs portray the excitement of flood. "The flood has ripped away a wedge of concrete; the water hurls in an arch; It smashed under the bridge; It hurtles down … it lurches round the bend, filling the valley, flattening, mashing, pushed, wider and faster, ....

.... hard, gratuitous quality of life." Stubbs begins by showing other examples, notably in In Our Time and The Sun Also Rises, in which Hemingway's characters revert to role-playing in order to escape or retreat from their lives. The ability to create characters who play roles, he says, either to "maintain self-esteem" or to escape, is one Hemingway exploits extraordinarily well in A Farewell to Arms and therefore it "is his richest and most successful handling of human beings trying to come to terms with their vulnerability." As far as Stubbs is concerned, Hemingway is quite blatant in letting us know that role-playing is what is occurring. He tells that the role-playing begin ....
