.... de Spain's house is built with "nigger sweat" as well as the white sweat of the sharecropper. He seems to view himself as a victim of an unfair socio-economic system: he "burns with a ravening and jealous rage."(p.169), he is the "element of fire", the narrator speaks to "some deep mainspring" of Mr Snopes being "as the element of steel or powder spoke to other men, as one weapon for the preservation of integrity ...used with discretion."(p.166). The father does not make any discrimination between the rich and the poor. For him, there are only two categories of people: blood kin and "they", into which he lumps all the rest of ma .....

.... herdsmen or cattle to approach the carrying capacity or the land. However after a while the carrying capacity of the land is achieved. The herdsman thinks to himself "what would happen if I added 1 more cow?" There is both a positive and a negative result to the herdsman for doing this. The positive component is nearly +1. This is because the herdsman does not have to share the cow with others. The negative component is only a fraction or -1 to the herdsman. This is because the negative repercussion of having another cow on the commons is shared by all other herdsmen. The essay relates the activities of the commons to wha .....

.... the Oracle’s prophecy following him. No matter what Oedipus does, he has no control over what the gods have predetermined. The gods also punish the people of Thebes with hard times since it is these people who brought Oedipus into the land as their king.

Although the gods do not initially favor Oedipus, his kingdom sees hi .....

.... 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.

.... Obviously, a written work is a product of the period in which it is written. Unless it is a historical tale, the subjects, characters and events described, would be of a temporary nature or have a temporary outlook and appeal. Many writings are of a controversial nature and as such they appeal to some but can meet with a violent disapproval by others. Salman Rashdie has been lucky to survive the violent anger of the Muslim world. But at the same time he became popular with many segments of the population, not necessarily due to the greatness of his writing, but primarily because of the controversial subject he touches upon, the fa .....

.... she admits that Hermia has "sparkling eyes and a lovely voice". Hermia is very set in what she wants from the very first scene. She has eyes only for Lysander.So obviously she is very faithful. Even when faced with the decision her father gave her she did not waver for a second in her love for him.   Throughout the story Hermia’s emotions were kind of tossed around and at one point she even says, " Am I not Hermia? Are you not Lysander? (Act III Scene 2 line 274). So we see that she gets a little confused and a bit hurt when hurt feelings we cast aside. At that point in the story I think she lo .....

.... that shot an Albatross and got into trouble for shooting it. The moral of the mariner's story is to love all things that God has created. The wedding guest leaves the mariner's story a sad but wiser man. In both of these examples we get a look at the effectiveness of both storytellers telling a story. Armytage tells the young narrator a story and the young narrator learns from his story that out of death a new life will spring. It takes an effective storyteller to have the audience leave with something. The Ancient Mariner tells the wedding guest a story and the wedding guest leaves his story a sad but wiser man. Both stor .....

.... changing for every new sense of data. If this was true , wouldn't every other object we looked at be new to us? Descartes argument for existing is much more believable, for the simple fact that if we think anything we must exist. I think are minds do have stability. Memory is a proof of the stability of the mind. I think that memory is also proof that there is only one self, because if you have a new self for every new sequence of data it would be impossible to have a memory. If memory is stored in our minds and basically our minds are our selfs, and you had a new self for every new perception or object, then each self wou .....
