.... and then fade. She sometimes wished that she was able to lead a normal life, but the thought came and went as fast as children with ice cream. At the age of 22 she finally realized that she would never be able to see. She came to accept this and thought that maybe God created her this way for a reason. She thought positively, she would never have to see pictures of death and destruction from wars and she would never have to look at herself and criticize. However in the back of her mind she always wanted to see her mother’s face. It was true she had developed a way of seeing through her hands by feeling, but it wasn’ .....

.... the stock market crashed was because farms were not producing enough goods. People started to work on farms more to help everyone. Lennie and George worked for ranches and also in the fields. "He's a good skinner. He can rassel grain bags, drive a cultivator. He can do anything." (Of Mice and Men p.22). If you really look closely, George and Lennie's way of life and the Great Depression have a good deal in common. George and Lennie were outcasts in life. George Milton was small in size and a very smart man compared to Lennie. He was actually only of average intelligence. Lennie Small was a large person and very retard .....

.... 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 moto .....

.... of the questions successfully. then Lola and Muriel get into an argument about what is fair for Mary Ann. Muriel tells Lola and Ross to leave. They do so with no argument. That night when Muriel left to go shopping Mary Ann went out for a walk. She came across a camp and went in. While she was in there a teenaged boy saw her and called all of his friends over to see her. Mary ann ran. When she returned home her mother was still not home. Later that night two men came to see Mary Ann. They shot the Nelson's dogs. Then they walked down the long driveway. Mary Ann saw them and told them to go away or she would call the dog .....

.... War the South didn't have to pay. This change occurred when the North took over the South. "After her father's death she went out very little; after her sweetheart went away, people hardly saw her at all," (41). Miss Emily might have stayed out of the public eye after these two deaths because she was finally alone, something she in her petty life was not used to. Emily's father never let her alone and when he died Homer Barron was a treat that she was never allowed to have. Miss Emily's stubborn attitude definitely came from her father's strict teachings. The characters of this story are very briefly mentioned, Miss Emily and Mr .....

.... and shows the obviousness of her label as an outcast. He then calls Pearl a “lovely and immortal flower” which shows her physical beauty, which is ironic because he has already labeled her a “creature”. Hawthorne uses description and symbolism to show how Hester Prynne feels about her daughter. “But she named the infant “Pearl”, as being of great price, -her mother’s only treasure” (62). Hester feels proud to have her daughter because she’s “her mother’s only treasure”. Pearl’s name symbolizes great importance and how valuable she is to Hester. Hawthorne uses narration to show Pearl’s attitude to o .....

.... for La Jolla on a collecting trip, Mack and the boys decided to give him a surprise party. They bought beer, plenty of Old Tennis Shoes (Old Tennessee, a blended whiskey). The whole town was going to be there, and in the minds of Mack and the boys, it was going to be a grand party. However, the party started before Doc even got there. The guests arrived at Western Biological (which doubled as Doc's house and laboratory) and soon became drunk. Windows, doors, expensive equipment, books, plates, and Doc's prized phonograph were all victims to the raucous crowd before Doc arrived. The place was trashed, and everyone left befor .....

.... and killed himself. Billy's life was destroyed because of Nurse Ratched's need to control others. Another place that we see the dark world is when we examine the relationship between Nurse Ratched and R.P. McMurphy. McMurphy is a happy and rebellious man. He is not used to being controlled, so when he gets into the institution he refuses to be controlled by Nurse Ratched, "I can get the best of that woman- before the week is up-without her getting the best of me". Nurse Ratched constantly feels the need to control McMurphy. Ever since the moment that McMurphy walks into the institute Nurse Ratched tells him what to do, when .....

.... works. Hawthorne’s dislike of men of science is also evident in many of his texts, like “Rappaccini’s Daughter” and “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment”. In both these stories a man of science, either Rappaccini or Dr. Heidegger, represent some form of evil. In the story, many references are made to the Black Man’s book. In “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” the information about the magic water came from Dr. Heidegger’s black book with large clasps. Roger Chillingworth is in possession of a large leather bound book with clasps. He uses it to reference herbs and plants th .....

.... A resident lord was usually a petty knight. The old feudal theory of lordship as a link in the legal chain of authority running from serf to monarch had lost much of it's substance. However, as far as the village was concerned such legal complications hardly mattered, anymore than whether the lord was great or small. A village with two or more lords was comfortable. Whatever the technicalities, the lord was the main consumer of the village, meaning he was in control of the profits. The 13th century manor, of which the village was a part, was not a political or military enterprise but an economic one, with the lord its explo .....
