.... or spotted by some important person. Without education then you wouldn't have any ideas where to start on how to become successful. Also, you wouldn't have any confidence because you would be afraid and wouldn't know how to face obstacles that might be in the way of your dream. Education would at least give you ideas on where to start and how to prosper. Education makes you a more excellent person. It helps you to socialize better with other people. It takes more than just a common sense. Last thing is that the person you know could make you become successful. It's like connection. If you know an important person such as a .....

.... tree-like shape of the scars on her back. Like many slaves, Sethe is whipped, only so badly that the scars form this shape; forever branding on her tender back the agony she suffers along with many others. In addition, Paul D. states, “ I had a bit in my mouth.” As a slave, Paul D. is forced to wear a type of degrading mouth harness called a “bit” which disables him from swallowing, let alone speaking. This not only belittles slaves but it prevents Paul D. from coming to the aid of Halle during his time of need. These displays of physical abuse that Morrison portrays in her novel only begin to scratch t .....

.... cheer themselves up so that they are able to deal with the problems they encounter, but Willy Lowman takes it one step further. His refusal to accept reality is so strong that in his mind he is transported back in time to relive one of the happier days of his life.

Willy's need for the "drug" is satiated and he is reassured that everything will turn out okay, and the family will soon be as happy as it was in the good old days. The nex .....

.... the witches. "…And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray 's in deepest consequence. Cousins, a word, I pray you. (Act1, SceneIII,line123)" This quote is stating that Banquo thinks Macbeth may do anything to get what he wants no matter what the consequences are. Duncan is the King of Scotland and Macbeth's leader. Duncan's view of Macbeth is narrow-minded. He perceives him as a loyal, noble, trustworthy, soldier whom he is very fond of. Duncan also feels Macbeth is the reason for them winning the war. There is many times in the play where this is p .....

.... of an inner evil which has emerged. Marlow, who defeats his evil, and gains self-knowledge, and Kurtz, who is defeated by his darkness and falls prey to its wrath. In William Golding's Lord of the Flies the author points out how easily people can be over taken by the darkness, how the potential for good can be destroyed by the evil, but ideally how good will triumph. Through an examination of these two works we can see how the darkness within, given the correct environment will surface. The circumstances which eventually cause the appearance of the inner darkness in these two novels stems from the lack of civility, the t .....

.... (Constable 25). In 1814 John Dickens was transferred from the post in Portsworth to one in London. Three years later the family moved to Chatham to be closer to their father who was working steadily at the post. Charles Dickens's mother taught him to read when he was barely five and for the next few years Dickens lived wonderfully, reading every book he could get his hands on. He quickly read through his father's collection of Shakespeare, Cervantes, Defoe, Smollett, Fielding, and Goldsmith. Every one of these authors left a mark on the young mind of Charles Dickens which is easy to see in his style and attitude throughout .....

.... This type of thing has happened before, but no one knew about it and now you know the real world. The press had created the “boogey man” and many myths and puzzles for the public. The Ripper was thought to know a great deal about anatomy because the body’s were slashed at the throat and the way the body’s were mutilated suggest that. The victims all prostitutes all slashed at the throat and mutilated. The body’s were found out in the open were everyone could see them. Many officers and junior officers believe there are anywhere from five to nine murders by the Ripper. The Victims: 1) Mary Ann Nich .....

.... about his face; but Stradlater thought that he was a great guy. He actually thought that there was nothing wrong with never washing his razor. I think that what mad, Holden so made Stradlater was perpetrating in other word being "phony" every time he went out all GQ after using that filthy razor. Another instance is when he calls that girl in New York, Faith Cavendish, that Eddie Birdsell had brought to a dance at Princeton. Anyway he called her and she almost went off until Holden drooped Eddie's name. Then all of a sudden "she was getting friendly as hell." The same person said "if you think I enjoy bein' woke up in the .....

.... really crippled by both their inability to talk to one another and Mrs. Mallard’s determination that her marriage was made by a “powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature.” But she doesn’t recognize that it is not just men who put their will upon women and that the problems in marriage affect men and women equally. To me, Mrs. Mallard is a very sympathetic character, and I appreciate her will to live out the “years to come that would belong to her absolutely.” However, I also beli .....
