.... with the help, of Mordecai Green, and they were representing the evictees. The partners of Drake & Sweeney, knowing that they were wrong, met with Mordecai Green to settle on an agreement without a jury. They were offering Mordecai and Michael $770,000 and two-year suspension for Michael for stealing the file. Mordecai made an offer of $5 million and a one-year suspension for Michael. If Drake & Sweeney agreed everything would be over without the public hearing about it but if they disagreed, Mordecai would bring in a jury and was confident of winning and humiliating Drake & Sweeney. Word Count: 312 .....

.... then passed it down to their children who were taught to hate one another. This shows another example that young ones can suffer from adults actions. Tybalt was another sacrifice to the Capulet and Montegue households. He was killed by Romeo while avenging Mercutio’s death. If it wasn’t for the conflict started between the Montegue and Capulet house, neither Mercutio or Tybalt would have been killed. As a result, Romeo was exiled which led to both the death of him and of Juliet. Later, this led to peace again between the two families as Montegue offers to put up a statue of Juliet. In the play, all of the deaths w .....

.... mother. Then we witness the murder as it is graphically described by Doestoevsky. After reading this graphic description of the murder, how can the reader be sympathetic towards Raskolnikov? How can the reader believe that a murderer is the protagonist? It is, in fact, not hard to accept this murderer as the protagonist. Raskolnikov believed that by murdering the pawnbroker, he rid society of a pest. We realize that if the victim would have been someone other than an evil old pawnbroker the crime would never had taken place. He could never have found the courage to kill an innocent person. It would not prove anyt .....

.... He has always done what he was socially supposed to do, instead of yielding to his own natural feelings. He wrestles with his desires to change his world and with his fear of their rejection. He imagines how foolish he would feel if he were to make his proposal only to discover that the woman had never thought of him as a possible lover; he imagines her brisk, cruel response; "That is not what I meant, at all." He imagines that she will want his head on a platter and they did with the prophet John the Baptist. He also fears the ridicule and snickers of other men when she rejects him. Prufrock imagines "And would it have been .....

.... yearning for him and sent him away from the poisonous atmosphere of her home. And now he has returned, fine and free, much to the disgust of Pastor Manders, whose limited vision cannot conceive that out in the large world free men and women can live a decent and creative life. Manders. But how is it possible that a--a young man or young woman with any decent principles can endure to live in that way?--in the eyes of all the world! Oswald. What are they to do? A poor young artist--a poor girl. It costs a lot of money to get married. What are they to do? Manders. What are they to do? Let me tell you, Mr. Alving, what .....

.... dislike Jan is because she was going to baby sit a young child while she was high. She could have killed that young infant because of her stupidity and that really annoys me. The part of this book that was particularly effective was when I saw how drugs led Alice into a mental hospital. When I heard that she was high and started ripping out her hair and going nuts that scared me to death. This part of the book was very scary but also it was very interesting. If I were Alice, when I was thinking about using drugs again like she was, I would have gotten information about them first. I would have asked people who used drugs at on .....

.... School and friends don’t matter to him anymore and he wanders through the city of New York searching for some kind of answer. In both books the characters are teenagers and still full of youth. Conrad is on the swim team and participates in activities while Holden is great at English and is a keen observer of life. After their brothers’ death they realize that they are not the same people anymore and that they have to start all over. They are struggling just to make it through the day and to find motivation to keep going. Conrad lays in bed in the morning thinking of a reason to get up, he tries to come .....

.... social trends and exaggerates them to make clear their most negative qualities. They are rarely intended as realistic predictions of a probable future, and it is pointless to criticize them on the grounds of implausibility. Atwood here examines some of the traditional attitudes that are embedded in the thinking of the religious right and which she finds particularly threatening. But another social controversy also underlies this novel. During the early 80s a debate raged (and continues to rage, on a lower level) about feminist attitudes toward sexuality and pornography in particular. Outspoken feminists have taken all kinds .....

.... that everyone admired, he ceaselessly fulfilled each aspect of the code. Throughout the book, he exhibits both honor and loyalty to King Arthur and all his fellow knights. Courtly love is another part of the code of Chivalry. Courtly love is love often between one man and another man's wife. By having an affair with King Arthur's wife, although still abiding by the code of chivalry, his loyalty was put into question. Sir Launcelot had one dominant flaw; he was hopelessly in love with King Arthur's wife. Merlin once prophesied, "Gwynevere is destined to love Sir Launcelot and he her, and many disasters will result from the .....

.... go back and be with her again. The Museum of Natural History represents a different aspect of his past. While Jane Gallagher makes Holden want to return to his past, the Museum of Natural History sort of changes his mind. He remembers how he used to go there all the time, and how he was different, but the wax figures were always the same. He realizes that he can’t go back in time, because he is not the same as he used to be. He also realizes that he will never be the same as he used to be. One other important symbol is Holden’s hunting cap. I think that his cap represents security. He always seemed to be wearing the hat and ev .....
