Steinbeck presentd scenes of great crulty and passion in his books, his characters often use profanity beacuse they know no other way of speaking, it's sort of a manerism with them. the reason for this is that profanity is often found inthe speach of illiterate people. Foul language in some groups is as much a convention as politness i ....

.... Lord, having unity and conformity in the community, and strict obedience to God’s word lest some punishment befall you. The handout given in class deals with the issue of homosexuality and the punishments for sodomy and buggery. The reading by Marcus was solely concentrated on the Salem Witch Trials. A former minister, George Burroughs, is accused of witchcraft and much of the section deals with people who claimed to have been bewitched by him. There are a couple of letters by Cotton Mather explaining the difficulty of the witchcraft trials and his defense of the conviction of George Burroughs. The rest of this reading is letters of confession by the accused and mor ....

.... up. Ironically, it is no other than himself. He also warned by his wife/mother Jocasta not to continue the search for killer. He does not listen to her, and in return he discovers the horrible truth. In which costs Jocasta her life. He also says that he will go easy on the man who will turn himself in for the murder of Laius. But, ironically the punishment that he gives himself is far worse than anyone else would have received. This great play is filled with many cynical parts throughout. But the irony is what makes this play such genius. When Laius got his Oracle of Apollo from Delphi (that his son would kill him and marry his widow), he tried to control faith by ....

.... from instincts and personal experiences which have all been biologically determined. Another interesting idea was Freud's theory of dream occurence. This theory states that dreams occur in "ego collapse", which is when the Id and the Superego close in upon the Ego. Most of Freud's theories are still supported today by well renowned psychologists, especially those dealing with the defense mechanisms our body uses while we dream. Dreams take place when we regress, repress, or deny things going on in our lives, which causes an interanl conflict. This conflict, in turn, makes dreams take place. Dreaming prevents people from building up intolerable states of tension while ....

.... help me throughout my career. It may keep me alive in such a case as Mr. Gorsline’s. Math may save me from a fuel consumption problem. Even early in my career. To get my licenses I am going to have to manage my hours. So, as anyone can see math is all around us. Math is in everything we do, in every day. Where would the world be without math? Would my career still be the same? To answer these questions, we must take a look at the historical advancement of math. We must also look at its effects on mankind. Before the invention of counting devices, such as the abacus, we were limited to fingers and toes. When we needed more units, we lined up neighbors. Then there was a r ....

.... to get rid of flies at the next family bar-b-que. Even though life in general would be easier and more enjoyable without insects that can be bothersome, it is not necessary to pollute the air, ground, food, and liquids that are used daily by the inhabitants of the planet Earth, nor is it necessary to give misleading information about the products being used to boost sales and get a higher profit. The government should make stricter laws on the labeling of goods that contain chemicals which could be potentially hazardous to one's health. First, "corporations are trying to mislead consumers into believing household pesticides are harmless," according to Marion Moses, M.D ....

.... from agents and boosters. But if they cannot even hold jobs, how are they to have any spending money? The NCAA has recently tried to alleviate this by allowing students with scholarships to hold jobs that pay a maximum of $2,000 a year. This way students can have enough spending money to go to movies, buy pizza or just have some miscellaneous spending money. But many are opposed to this new rule. Douglas J Lany writes that "the problem is that a $2000 check for a job, even if work is not part of the job description, can't compete with a $2000 check plus $10,000 in cash." He is saying that the problem is not the $2,000 job, but the $10,000 dollars the agents will gi ....

.... for society that sat passively while its government became more powerful and impersonal, restricting personal freedom and happiness. The speaker of “” is a faceless government official, who is relating a report of a man's life to someone who asked if the man was happy and free. The poem carries a voice of very ironic tone, sometimes become sarcasm. The speaker describes the man as a “model citizen” who “in a modern sense of an old-fashioned word” is “a saint.” When asked if the man “was free and happy”, the speaker responds that “the question is absurd, had anything been wrong” he “should ce ....
