.... as opposed to being white, perhaps contributed her younger-than-ninety-two-years-old appearance. Also, her movements were convincing at times, but lacked frailness at certain points. For instance, when she returned from the bathroom and sat on the bed, she was very able to seat herself and sit very well without any back support whereas earlier she had needed assistance as well as a pillow for her back. The other characters, B and C, were convincing in their costumes and makeup. However, I didn't truly understand their characters. I couldn't tell if the nurse, B, was annoyed with the old woman or if she felt sorry for her. Character C, the lawyer, didn't really have a defined ....

Radio listeners heard the emotional words of newsman Herb Morrison, sobbing into his recorder, "It's burning, bursting into flames, and it's falling on the mooring mast and all the folks. This is one of the worst catastrophes in the world. . . . Oh, the humanity and all the passengers!(Marben 58)" When this floating cathedral, called , burst into a geyser of flaming hydrogen there was a tremendous impact on the public, although two thirds of the people on board survived.

.... the four zones. "As Cold War tensions grew, stimulated in part by the German situation itself, the temporary dividing line between the Soviet zone in the East and the British, French, and U.S. zones in the West hardened into a permanent boundary. In 1949, shortly after the Western powers permitted their zones to unite and restore parliamentary democracy in the Federal Republic of Germany, the Russians installed a puppet regime of German Communists in the East, creating the German Democratic Re-public."(Niewyk, 1995) According to Galante (1965, p.vii) "a city is the people who live in it.

" Certainly, the Bolsheviks were an obscure and radical political party before the revolution of March 1917, and played little part in the overthrow of the Tsar. They did however see it as a step towards the dictatorship of the proletariat. "The Marxists found themselves in the paradoxical position of welcoming the revolution as bourgeois, liberal and capitalist and deferring the idea of socialism to some time in the future. " Lenin, the leader of the Bolshevik party returned from e ....

.... history as well as the start of a new one. The need for Federation was a consequence of the sub-division of Australia in the first half of British settlement. The first colony, NSW, at one stage included 2/3 of the continent but Tasmania, Victoria and Queensland were gradually carved out of it. WA and SA were founded as entirely seperate colonies. Each small community fought and won its own battle for survival and growth. There was talk of Federation from the early 1840's when the colonies still functioned seperately and there was a rivalry between NSW (who believed that trade should be free) and Victoria (who believed a tax should be imposed for trade). There was a need t ....

.... that developed during the late New Kingdom in Egypt. Henettawy wears a plain three-part wig, with two sidelocks and elaborate funerary jewelry of her era. Hennetawy's tomb is symmetric and relatively balanced out. There is use of foreshortening in her feet and face. One can tell that this work of art is Egyptian. Her arms are crossed, and her eyes enlarged in accordance with all Egyptian coffins. One might overlook that the whole coffin is engulfed in hiractic writing, soundly designating it as "Egyptian". Some lines of hiratic writing read, "Beginning of the instructions"(Coffin), which is the traditional opening formula for "didactic w ....
