.... we see that Elizabeth does not have the stereotypical nature of the majority of the people in her society, who, in contrast are unable to recognise their own faults. Vastly contrasted to Elizabeth, we have the comical Mr.Collins, who lacks the self-reflection and self-awareness that is evident in Elizabeth. One trait Mr. Collins surely portrays is that of self-importance. It never occurred to him that Elizabeth would refuse his marriage proposal, and when she does, he can only say: “…it does not appear to me that my hand is unworthy your acceptance…”. Mr Collins’ proposal was extremely serious, as he really b .....

.... ignores his conscience and is able to commit the crime in a rational and orderly way. It is his dual character thta serves as his punishment. One side of him is able to commit the murders so the other must bear the punishment. He is torured by the cruelty in mankind and yet he himself is able to repeat it. Ralkolnokove justifies his crime through a philosophy that he has come up with. The man with power is the man to rule over all others. But this power is only given to those who dare to take it. Raskolnikov wanted to see if he had the courage to take that power. He also had to battle with his rati .....

.... to interpret it (Slusser 63). Symbolism is involved in many aspects of the story. In Fahrenheit 451Ray Bradbury employs various significant symbols through his distinct writing style. First, burning is an important symbol in the novel. The beginning of Fahrenheit 451 begins with, “it was a pleasure to burn. It was a pleasure to see things blackened and changed” (3). Burning rouses the “consequences of unharnessed technology and contemporary man’s contented refusal to acknowledge these consequences” (Watt 1). In these first two sentences he creates a sense of curiosity and irony because in the .....

.... their shoulders..." (IV, 56-57) If the host enjoyed the company of the guests, many times they will honor them with gifts. The kind of gifts given varied depending on the wealth and generosity of the host. For example, Aeolus, the king of the winds, gave Odysseus a leather bag which contained all the adverse winds which could drive his ships off course. Other generous gift givers are the Phaeacians who give Odysseus many valuable gifts, such as "...bronze and hoards of gold and robes..." (XIII, 155) and transported him to Ithaca in one of their magic ships. If you are unable to host the strangers, it is your duty to "se .....

.... production in the child depending what he/she may learn in his home environment. When school begins so does the self-consciousness of the child start to be affected; the child may not even know how to express him/her self effectively in an out of home setting. (Children and oral communication) This is why the teacher's role in child development is very tricky and from careful research by Strickland and Loban we now know the action needed to be taken by the schoolteachers. Testing to see if listening comprehension is going at a satisfying rate can also help the child along his path of effectively learning speech. Learning ora .....

.... families were very close and often said that the two of us were like brother and sister. One calm summer night April and I climbed to the top of the garage and lay on our backs staring at the thousands of stars in the black summer sky. The garage wasn't tall; in fact, it was perfect because we could sit up there without worrying about sliding off. That night we talked about everything that was on our minds. I will never forget that night because it was so beautiful outside. The tree frogs and crickets were performing their evening melodies, and the man on the moon was looking down upon us. After talking for nearly an hour we .....

.... the earth is round not flat like his father believes. This starts the conflict between father and son. I believe another thing that both stories have in common is Luke’s Uncle and Mr. Solchuk’s beliefs that they should stay at their homes and live simple lives like they did. Luke’s Uncle believe Luke should stay on Tatoonie and be a farmer like himself, he also worries that if Luke begins to learn to be a Jedi that he will turn to the darkside and become evil like his father, Darth Vader. Mr. Solchuk believed Nick should also stay and farm the land like he has all his life. Mr. Solchuk also believed that Nicks .....

.... togehter they will not fail. When Macbeth hears the prophesies of his future, he appears to disregard them, but when he is made Thane of Cawdor (as foretold by the witches), he already is thinking about killing the king when he says these words to himself "The Prince of Cumberland' That is a step On which I must fall down, or else o'erleap, For in my way it lies."(I,iv,48-50). This is why he writes to Lady Macbeth, as to prompt her for some persuasion in killing Duncan, and she later refers to the latter as his agreement of the murder when she says "Nor time nor place did then adhere, and yet you would make both"(I,vii, .....

.... she has. She worships her father and neglects her mother. She also has no respect for her mother, although later in the story, she goes on about all the hard work she does. Unlike the boy, the young girl is kept occupied with lots of work. In comparing these two stories, you will obviously notice the close ages of these two. Although, the stories never tell of an exact age, their behavior and thoughts put us at a close guess. Both kids seem lonely and in their own realm. They are both going through a time in their life where they are changing. Each character, in his or her own way, came to a realization. The boy in “Araby”, .....

.... of the day begins. It is here that Sylvia becomes infuriated with the systems in America. She notices all of the expensive toys in the store window and inside the store, and wonders who would pay so much money for toys. Obviously, rich people are the only ones who can afford such expensive items. Sylvia feels that it is unfair for certain people to be able to buy certain things, while other people are struggling just to get by. One of the children in the group, Sugar, points out that all of us here put together eat in a year what that sailboat costs. The sailboat is a handcrafted sailboat of fiberglass and costs one thousand .....
