Perhaps at one time, his boss was but now Gregor is lead to believe so because his father wants him to provide for the whole family.

.... say that he did particularly “hate” one of the black people in town more than most-Ann Atwater. He claimed to hate her specifically because every time he went into town, she was leading some kind of demonstration. I didn't think she would really be all that important to the rest of the story, but in my eyes she's the most important. To make a long story short, Mr. Ellis began going to meetings for the city council or something of that sort. It was there that he decided he could start to come out in the open about his views on the integration of black students in the town schools. He spoke honestly without holding anythin .....

.... Lady Macbeth and Macbeth try to separate. Macbeth is a eighteenth century play written by William Shakespeare. Using these two metaphors, the breakdown in the relationship between Lady Macbeth and Macbeth and between the king and the thanes and how they perfectly parallel each other because each is caused by Macbeth’s will to be independent According to Webster’s dictionary, the archaic definition of independence is “competence” (1148). To be independent is not to be “subject to control by others” (Gove 1148). This means that independence is to be in control of ones decisions and to feel they ar .....

.... prevails throughout the story. Sarty, his brother and the twin sisters have no access to education, as they must spend their time working in the fields or at home performing familial duties. Nutrition is lacking “He could smell the coffee from the room where they would presently eat the cold food remaining from the mid- afternoon meal” (PARA. 55). As a consequence, poor health combined with inadequate opportunity results in low morale. A morale which the writer is identifying with the middle class of his times “that same quality which in later years would cause his descendants to over-run the engine before putting a .....

.... voices sound like the call of castrati. They walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people. As Gulliver says, "It was with the utmost astonishment that I witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a Vienese waltz. To my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous than the Lord Edmund Burke" (162). As this quote demonstrates, Gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the Houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful. For instance, the leader of the Houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of Charles Dickens, and that he can singleha .....

.... that Ambrose Bierce described the setting and the time period very accurately. By reading his story I could picture the scene very accurately. He explained that the sun was shining, and that it was autumn. Because it was autumn it was not too hot or too cold. He also described Carter’s location very well. From what I read Carter was on a cliff like thing, and was asleep in brush. He was well hidden. The author also describes the time period (war time) very well. He told how a soldier who fell asleep at his post was committing a very serious crime, and anyone who was to catch him asleep was to shoot him in the back. He a .....

.... and to save his oldest son who is "sick in the chest," (pg. 535) makes the reader forget about his illegal stay and makes his status rise to the one of a hero. In this play, Marco's actions lead us to the discovery of a violent side which he uses to defend his honor in a number of occasions. For example, when he challenges Eddie to lift the chair at the end of the first act, we understand that he did it to save his brother's face and his family's honor. In addition, the killing of Eddie by Marco's own hands at the end of the play, is the final display of his character. Marco's character is definitely expressed more by his act .....

.... and LOVE. She drank to ease the tention before meeting friends, continued to drink once they got there to keep the mood light and conversation interesting, was always up for one more round, and was always the last to leave. If she was physically able she would drink alone when she got home, until she hit the point of passing out. More times than not she wouldn’t remember the end of the time spent at the bar or even the drive home, much less what she drank when she returned home. She would wake up in fog not knowing what had happened over the last few hours of the night. Sometimes she wouldn’t wake up alone and pan .....

.... Farm, and when the pigs take over, they change the name back to Manor Farm. The time setting for this story is some point during the 1940’s. During the story, many characters are introduced. There are Jessie, the brown dog, who is friends with Boxer, a diligently working horse, and Snowball, a small pig exiled from the farm by Napoleon, the black pig, in the quest for power. There are also the other dogs on the farm, who had side things going on with Napoleon, and eventually took away Jesse’s litter from her, so that they may become “guards” to Napoleon and his “empire”. What each thought and did developed the cha .....

.... That I can keep your counsel and not, mine own. Beside, to be demanded of a sponge, what replication should be made by the son of a king? (IV, ii, 12-14) The reference to the sponge reflects the fact that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are easily ordered by the king and do not have minds of their own. Hamlet does not like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern since they are servants of the Claudius, Hamlet's mortal enemy. The reader does not like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern either which causes the reader to side with Hamlet. Another incident of Hamlet's high intelligence is shown when he Hamlet tells Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, I am glad o .....
