.... my hair, and bloodied the ax good, and stuck it on the back side, and slung the ax in the corner" (24). If Huck were lazy, he would not have gone through all that trouble to escape, if he escaped at all. A lazy person would have just stayed there and not worried about what happened. At another point in the novel, Huck and a runaway slave, Jim, are on an island where they think they will not get caught. Huck decides to go to town to get information dressed as a girl. "So we shortened up one of the calico gowns and I turned up my trouser-legs to my knees and got into it. I put on the sun-bonnet and tied it under my chin. I pra .....

.... wish I owned half of that dog, because I would kill my half”. Every one called him instead of Dave Wilson. His career, as a lawyer was ruined, no one would come to him to seek advice. His hobby was keeping fingerprints of everyone it the town. People thought him crazy, but in the end I was worth it. Robert Regan stated, “Wilson was to be a satirized hero, a man who revels in being praised for the wrong reasons by the wrong people.” This says that Wilson would have been a very successful lawyer, but people judged him to the wrong degree. Pudd’nhead did things to keep himself occupied over the years. Eberhard Alsen said .....

.... Moreover, the Solarians have a Prince Prelate called Sun. Sun is elected by knowing a significant amount of information in diverse academic fields. For example, he must know all the mechanical arts and the mathematical, physical, and astrological sciences. In his dialogue, Campanella stresses the importance of acquiring knowledge in this ideal city. He demonstrates this by describing the position of the Prince Prelate: “Once appointed, his tenure lasts until someone with greater knowledge and greater ability to rule is discovered (Campanella 45)”. Therefore, those who wish to live in great power, must strive for this achi .....

.... also had its classification system. In the book, Jem confused the Dewey Decimal System with John Dewey’s philosophy of education. This is clear when Scout says, “What Jem called the Dewey Decimal System was school wide by the end of my first year, so I had no chance to compare it to any other teaching technique, I could only look around me” (Lee 37). Dewey’s educational philosophy was the new way students were to be taught in the Maycomb schools. It stressed the hands on experiential method of teaching. Jem easily confused John Dewey’s new way of teaching with Melvil Dewey’s classification system because it was the .....

.... the conscientious objector to WWI, because for one to claim that status, one had to be a member of a "well-recognized" religious organization which forbade their members to participation in war. As a result of such unyeilding legislation, 20,000 conscientious objectors were inducted into the armed forces. Out of these 20,000, 16,000 changed their minds when they reached military camps, 1300 went to non-combat units, 1200 gained furloughs to do farm work, and 100 did Quaker relief work in Europe. 500 suffered court-martial, and out of these, 450 went to prison. However, these numbers are small in comparison with the 170,0 .....

.... who the murderer of King Laius is, even though the riddle is obvious. Oliver 2 Oedipus has the ability to comprehend the riddles, but he won't allow himself to accept the truth. When Oedipus saved Thebes from The Sphinx, he answered this difficult puzzle. The Sphinx demanded, What creature is it that walks on four feet in the morning, on two at noon, and on three in the evening? With his eminent mastery of riddles and having an open mind, Oedipus replied, It is Man. As a child he crawls on four. When he grows up he walks upright on his two feet, and in old age he leans on a staff.1 This puzzle is far more complex than T .....

.... involved with sex. (Davis, p. xix) Although Davis admits that the vocabulary of sex is changing (Davis, p. xxv), he also states that hard-core pornography uses considerably more vulgar terms that are associated with lower-class activity, such as, "prick, fuck, and suck" (Davis, p. xxiii). Davis believes that hard-core pornography, induces imaginative behaviours by using these lower-class, four-letter words. The stories use phrases such as "First we sucked, then we fucked."(Davis p. xix, 1983), to allow the reader the tools to imagine the scene actually taking place. The reader is lead by the author through the story by us .....

.... have no respect for others, either. He has no respect for women, for example; he is a despicable "voluptuary," and he satisfies his lust at any cost. He drives his wife to madness by bringing "women of ill-repute" into their house right in front of her. Even more shockingly, he rapes a mentally retarded woman, who later dies giving birth to his illegitimate son, Smerdyakov, who grows up as his father's servant. Fyodor is even more blatantly disrespectful to his three legitimate children. After his wife's death, he abandons them, for they "would have been a hindrance to his debaucheries." He is never a true father to .....

.... number given to him when being bought and sold. The recognition of a person by number is indicative of sub-human status, common to institutions such as a prison camp where efficiency takes precedence over humanity. It is difficult to acknowledge the title Sixo, as a name, as it is more of an enumeration. The names of the other Sweet Home also demonstrate this same dehumanisation through enumeration. The names Paul A, Paul D, and Paul F Garner, are only marginally more acceptable than Sixo. Their names demonstrate the same enumeration as Sixo, however they are preceded by the designation Paul to provide some semblance of a na .....

.... starts off simple as the reader would think that this story is just another one of those stories which the disadvantage guy falls in love with the girl he loves and ends up getting married. True, but the plot that built up this ending is what made this story truly special. The characters of Nelly, Cathy (daughter of Catherine and Edgar), Hareton, and Heathcliff the villain which we must all sympathize with is the most shining characters in this story. Nelly, the constant character in this story, we all must admire because of her morals and values, sometimes had me hating her mainly because I can sympathize with Cathy at her ag .....
