.... power that were practically undreamt of. This era saw a dramatic increase in the size of the lower classes as immigrants filled the country and jobs became scarce, and a decrease in the size of the middle class. However, despite the less than ideal conditions that existed for many people in the country, middle and upper class citizens had the impression that they were in an era of prosperity. They turned a blind eye towards all the suffering and hardships of the lower class, in their perfect, ignorant world “There were no Negroes. There were no immigrants” (3). Doctorow recognized the dominant attitude of the tim .....

.... boarding schools at age 11. At Trinity, "I discovered that the required courses were not the ones I required." So he cut the classes that bored him and audited the ones that didn't. "It tells you something about the management of Trinity at the time that they didn't catch up with me until the middle of the sophomore year," he recalls. "That ended my formal education, and I suppose it didn't matter much. I'd figured out how to educate myself, and keep on doing it. To be fair to Trinity, I would have been unhappy at any college or university." Albee was even more unhappy when his adoptive mother ejected him from the family .....

.... meant me no good. I was sorry immediately I had married her, but being patient in those days, made the best of it and got to love her in another way...But I was a man divided. She wanted me to work too much for her and not enough for my dream. She realized too late that work was dignity and the only dignity, and tried to atone for it by working herself, but it was too late and she broke and is broken forever. Fitzgerald’s remarks here bring to mind the passage in The Great Gatsby where Gatsby pauses before kissing Daisy, knowing that “When he kissed this girl, and wed his unutterable visions to her perisha .....

.... why she has gone through so many husbands is because her ideal husband is one who permits her to do whatever she wants.  Of course, in the 1990's and even back in the 1500's, that kind of spouse is hard to find. The Wife is a pragmatist, or one who is concerned with actual practice. She is a very sexually active person, although is said to be "gap-toothed", overweight, and foul smelling.  In her prayer, she asks for meek, youthful, sexually vigorous husband to fulfill her needs. Due to the Wife's feministic views, she can fulfill her needs and desire's because of her strong opinion.  She can continue to marry .....

.... about hope and the future. He is the main animal who got the rebellion started even though he died before it actually began. Old Major's role compares to Lenin and Marx whose ideas would spark the communist revolution. Lenin became the leader and teacher of the working class in Russia, and their determination to struggle against capitalism. Like Old Major, Lenin and Marx wrote essays and gave speeches to the working class poor. The working class in Russia, as compared with the barnyard animals in Animal Farm, were a laboring class of people that received low wages for their work. Old major tells the animals that the sour .....

.... his fatigues at least a dozen times. He kept imagining VC popping up and him not being ready to fire. By him wiping his hand on his fatigues shows how incredibly apprehensive and nervous he was. After one of Richie’s fellow platoon members got killed, the entire company was in mourning. Richie was going over to one of the men and saw him crying. When he saw this he decided not to talk to him and turned around and walked away. The reason for this was because Richie didn’t want to insult his friend by seeing him cry. This is an example showing how respectful Richie is. Another way Myers shows Richie’s character is thro .....

.... That should not be ... The price that a student pays when they go into the classroom [sic] to exchange any form of humiliation or degradation in exchange for their education - period." For what reason would a student be ashamed or feel degraded to read such a novel? It would be more understandable if slavery was still part of our lives today and black people were still being called niggers and going through the same hardships as in the past. However, black people now a days call each other niggers more than a light skinned person calls a dark skinned person one. And, in most cases black people are the least discriminated with .....

.... of work done, some are treated like servants and yet others are treated with respect. There is no certain job security for a nanny, one day you may work and the next you may not. In conclusion I think it is important that we make time for family, yes you can have a nanny, there is no crime for that, but don't make that person fill your shoes and your responsibilities. Make your family a true family and not one you think it really isn't. When more time is spent worrying about work and money, and not on raising kids-our family infrastructure will crumble. .....

.... From a point early in his life, he had a romantic fantasy and he continued to sustain this throughout his life. He liked to focus on past events, rather than look at what was happening at the present. For example, he and Daisy had a beautiful romance for a long period earlier in his life. Gatsby repeated this moment over and over again in his head, Gatsby, also, was rumored to have told stories about his past, such as his story about his time spent at Oxford was not quite clear. He was also rumored to have murdered a man. No one was really completely clear about the life that Gatsby live, not even Gatsby himself. Why he .....
