.... relationship between families. One way in which the author addresses this issue is in "Sis' Becky's Pickaninny." Chesnutt condemns the treatment of slaves as capital, while confirming their need for family. To illustrate, when Becky is traded for a racehorse she is devastated by the loss of her son. In order to keep the family together the aunt resorts to hiring a local conjure woman to bring the family together again. Only after Becky and Mose are reunited, is she able to find some semblance of happiness. Becky's desire to remain with her son dispels the myth that African American's were inhuman, incapable of caring about t .....

.... plane? Or maybe just a barrel in a harbor as Diogenes showed us? Knowledge. In my opinion the problem with knowledge may be similar to the wealth issue. Knowledge in general (meant as scientific knowledge) has increased dramatically over the last centuries, but arguing that this has contributed to general happiness is at least risky, not to mention superfluous. This problem has two main aspects, firstly, its relativity (as in the case of wealth); we can fly to Venus and kill most of the microbes but there is still much more to be done. Secondly, its validity in the pure aspect, as giving us answers about the world and life in ge .....

.... look at the difference he made by trying, “Think of the difference it made!” The Myth of Icarus can also be seen by an artist’s standpoint. Obviously, the main character is Icarus and what happens to him. In William Carlos William’s “Landscape With the Fall of Icarus” he reverses the roles. Instead of Icarus being the main point, he makes the background stand out, “The farmer was ploughing his field the whole pageantry.” He tells what was going on at the time of the fall of Icarus. Obviously, everyone doesn’t pick up the same things from the story. It can be seen through many different eyes. The eyes of an artis .....

.... niece of the town minister, Reverend Samuel Paris. Both these women do know the feelings of being an adulator though. Even though Hester’s affair is known publicly. Hester fell in love with the minister Aruthur Dimmesdale. They are very much in love but then she gives birth to his child and is ridiculed by the public. Abigail believes she is in love with a farmer named John Proctor. She wants his wife dead. A good example is when John Proctor says “…she thinks to dance with me on my wife’s grave…”(Miller 102), which obviously means she wants Goody Proctor erased. Both women meet their .....

.... the life of her own infant, if it were her wish or order to do so: "…Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn As you have done this…" [I.vii.57-59]. So enraged and overpowered by evil, that her purity and innocence (which is part of a woman) had all but depleted, and consequently she also lost her will to control herself and her sanity (sanity-later on in the deterioration of Lady Macbeth's character). She came to a point where evil pushed her to certain lengths such as committing the heinous act of regicide; killing her loyal and innocent king, king Duncan. A .....

.... I was in the museum, in my little world. Therein lies the significant difference between seeing and imagining, and being told or influenced, that is, being mystified. Mystification, as the art critic John Berger in Ways of Seeing explains, “is the process of explaining away what might otherwise be evident” (Berger 112). I was instantly captivated from the moment I saw the tied-together skeletons stretching as high as my own house; should I have cared about the petty details that would have distracted me from my own imagination? “Original paintings are silent and still in a sense that information never is” (Berger 125). .....

.... land and peoples, and they both died very proud deaths. The story is focused around the main character, . He is a man of awesome, superhuman powers. He is able to battle huge beasts without the aid of weapons. In the story, he sails to Denmark to a meadhall which was named Herot. The story is interesting in that many things are named, especially swords, and armor which are especially honored if they had helped their previous owners in battle. ’s sword was named Hrunting. Herot had been plagued for twelve years by a monster named Grendel. In one night, Beowuld conquers Grendel, and the 12 years of Suffering is over with. Unbekno .....

.... ability to affect feelings with similes, and the one-sided view of history, Homer could be using similes to guide the reader in the direction of his personal views, as happens with modern day political "spin". These views that Homer might be trying to get across might be trying to favor Troy. It could easily be imagined that throughout time, only great things were heard about the Greeks mettle in war, and that Homer is attempting to balance the scales a bit by romanticizing the Trojan peoples, especially Hector, and bringing to light the lesser-heard tales of Greek stupidity. Shortly into Book Two, Agamemnon giv .....

.... was no source of water because of how dry it was. As we looked over the canyon I told my brother Jack, “Look how deep the canyon is, and how steep.” He replied, “Yea dude, it looks pretty nasty down there. I think we should just go and tell mom and dad that this place it pretty weird and we can’t live here.” I agreed with him for once in a long time, so we headed back to the starship to take off. We got back to the ship and those a couple of those creatures we had saw spotted us and came toward us pretty fast. We just went in the starship and didn’t turn back. Those creatures ignored us and just turned around and went .....
