.... begins with a “When” clause, launching the reader on a sentence of indeterminate length and subsequently leaving us with expectation, in suspense, at the end of the line. The woman is emphatic: she does not merely tell the truth, she is made of truth. Both the nature of this truth, and the reason for her swearing it, are unknown to the reader. The immediate thought is that the speaker has challenged her in some way, and whether or not this is correct, it is certainly an unconventional way to begin a love poem. The second line, “I do believe her, though I know she lies,” introduces the reader to the wry hum .....

.... she never changes throughout the whole story. The mother would be the static character. She is seen as an older women set in her ways from life experiences, and from what she had been taught growing up black in the south. She made up her mind that the two family quilts would go to Maggie and she did not give it a second thought. Dee is also the dynamic character round. She is dynamic when she returns home to the country. She had previously said she would not bring any of her friends home, but when she gets there she is accompanied by a gentleman. Other aspects of her dynamics are displayed when she changes her name to "Wan .....

.... influence on those that wish to help is Mother Theresa. These individuals doubtless wish to help, but for various reasons do not. When questioned, there is one response that is entirely too common, which is "I can't make a difference." Mother Theresa is a contributing factor to this response. Everyone sees this woman doing so much, they then believe they can never do the same on such a large scale. People become overwhelmed with all of the good she does, then, because they acquired the impression that they cannot come near to the legend she has become, they do nothing at all. There is at least one other place where Mother Th .....

.... Roaring Camp will go through a regeneration of a lifetime. All of the men at the mining camp will strive to make Roaring Camp a suitable place for a baby to live. The very first signs that the men are in the process of change is when they went to see the baby for the first time. They walked in a single file line and in an orderly fashion. Many gave the baby a contribution. The sorry state of the camp and the men under went change immediately after the arrival of the baby. "Almost imperceptibly a change came over the settlement"( 9). The new baby was given the name Tommy Luck, but was known .....

.... in his treatment of women. The “taming” of Katherine has been contended as being excessively cruel by many writers and critics of the modern era. George Bernard Shaw himself pressed for its banning during the 19th century (Peralta). The subservience of Katherine has been labeled as barbaric, antiquated, and generally demeaning. The play centers on her and her lack of suitors. It establishes in the first act her shrewish demeanor and its repercussions on her family. It is only with the introduction of the witty Petruchio as her suitor, that one begins to see an evolution in her character. Through an elaborate charad .....

.... from time to time. I still think that people still care about each other very much. Love is still very felt today. It I felt in the same way it always was. I think that when one that was close to you dies, you will have some sort of devastation. I think that one could be as devastated as Achilles was when Patroclus died, but I would think that it would be very rare. I would say that love is just as common today as it was back in that time. After that part, Achilles shows vengeance when he talks about how he wants to kill Hector. “I will not live nor go about mankind unless Hector fall by my spear, and thus pa .....

.... is being aimed or "focused in on". Surprises are very healthy, for they are full of spirit, creative mischief, are a lot of fun and usually, everyone involved is "in" on the creation or "play". Now, sometimes, like at people's birthdays, the "surprisee" never knows about it. Other times, they can feel it in the vibration of the person or people surrounding the person who is planning or orchestrating the event. However, when a surprise is "in the wind", the neat thing about it is that everyone usually works together in this kind of amusing and prankish harmony to get the surprise to exert itself upon the object to which it's bein .....

.... he creates an external conflict with Jack whose values are different. Jack is enjoying life as a leader of the savages, and he fears that fire will possibly end his authoritarian rule over the savages. Both conflicts are resolved when Ralph finally meets the naval officer. Ralph is one of the few boys who realize that the only way to survive is through peace and order. Because he summons the boys at the beginning of the novel with the conch he and Piggy find, they look upon him as the most responsible of the boys and elect him as a chief over the humiliated Jack. Ralph creates a stable and peaceful society for the child .....

.... read. The literal meanings are said through words like time, voyaging, and seat backs. The metaphorical terms are expressed through the more thoughtful words like white noise, time, and train. The first stanza of the poem begins talking about the relationship between the two passengers. "All afternoon before them, father and boy" tells a reader that they are together early in the day or, metaphorically, early in their lives. Also, as stated above, the father and son do not share a closeness, and maybe this is why it is so important for the father to try and start making amends now. "In a plush well, with winter sou .....

.... of his has so greatly changed after the death of a dear sister. In depth he explores the character, "..the physique of the gray walls and the turrets and of the dim tarn into which they all looked down, had, at length, brought about the morale of his existence." Poe uses both animate, and inanimate objects as if they were one in the same. In Stephen King’s The Shining, he explores the madness that one man goes through when secluded in the wilderness alone with his family in a hotel haunted by it’s past residents. His seeming familiarity with Jack (the father of the family) gives the reader such imaginative insight into .....
