.... Despite the judgements on their appearances, their personalities proved to be very contrasting and conflicting. Preferences of lifestyle created much conflict and unspoken bitterness between the two girls. Hetty preferred to life a simple and moral life, while sharing her Christian faith with the Mingos, in hopes to convert them. Judith on the other hand wanted to go to bigger and better places, to new settlements being formed, vying away from simpleness and heading into booming towns. She wanted to leave the simple life and good morality that she had been raised on. Judith had a lust for life while Hetty humbly took it s .....

.... He issued the death sentence for Antigone’s action. Creon informed his son, Haemon, of his fiancee’s deceit. Haemon, however, defended his beloved. He told his father that the whole city was on her side, but were afraid to say anything. He was instead accused of “being a woman’s accomplice”, “fighting on her side, the woman’s side.” Creon continued to threaten him with witnessing the execution of Antione. She was to “die, now here, in front of his eyes, beside her groom!” Haemon countered him with a threat of his own that he will never set eyes on him again .....

.... the war. Throughout the Iliad, the universality of the poem is evident as concepts of war and man vs. man conflicts are expressed through the lives of Achilles, Hector, and Patroclus. Another epic quality in the Iliad is the invocation of the muse in the beginning of the story. This use of the muse is one of the specific characteristics of an epic poem. The muse is called upon to tell the story of Achilles and Hector. While the Hebrews acknowledged only one God, the Greeks hosted a polytheistic, anthropocentric society. There were many Gods and Goddesses of their society and each had human or animal characteristics. Th .....

.... follows a standard AA, BB, CC, etc., couplet pattern. A few of the lines are irregular however. Lines 23 and 24 rhyme "lie" with "eternity," and lines 27 and 28 rhyme "try" with "virginity." It is interesting to not that lie rhymes with try, just as eternity rhymes with virginity. Marvell used this technique to change up the systemic flow of the rest of the poem. By highlighting these two couplets, the symbolism of those lines strikes the reader with greater impact than the rest of the poem. Images of "deserts of vast eternity" and "virginity" together instill th .....

.... reader is intrigued. How could a man of Dante's stature criticize language, which is the very tool he uses to create the epic work of La Commedia? If we cannot take Dante seriously with these opening statements, we must pose the question of what Dante is trying to do, by teasing us with this artificial beginning to Canto XVIII? Dante will now contradict himself and try to describe what he says is impossible. But, if he were to go right into a description of the Ninth Abyss, it would deflate his rhetorical position. Instead, Dante first sets up a quite lengthy comparison of the sights he has just witnessed with examples of blo .....

.... thoughts "translated" from Zulu. Jesus Christ is symbolized by the figure of Arthur Jarvis. He is a white reformer who fights for rights of blacks.

Absalom thinks that Arthur Jarvis .....

.... Leigh's character was a logical extension from her Scarlett O'Hara role in Gone With The Wind (1939) - a post-Rhett Butler Southern belle.] Kim Hunter's role as her sister (a role she originally played on Broadway) was pivotal, and Marlon Brando, in his second screen appearance and recreating his Broadway role, delivers an overpowering, memorable performance. The film was nominated for twelve nominations and awarded four Oscars: Best Actress for Vivien Leigh, and Best Supporting roles to Kim Hunter and Karl Malden. In addition, Best B & W Art Direction/Set Direction was given to Richard Day and George James Hopkins. Remarkabl .....

.... same ways that animals being used for fur are being domesticated. She also forgets to tell her audience that these animals were once wild animals captured and bred for food and clothing in the same way the fur bearing animal are. Drew also states “as high as 95% of all animals trapped are non-target animals.” Trapping is like playing a hand of blackjack. The intent when playing blackjack is to get a blackjack every time. This is unrealistic because many times a person can win with something other than that. The same goes for trapping. Just because the trap was set for a certain type of animal, it does not mean .....

.... the old government, the last of the Czars. Orwell writes that "On a Midsummer's eve, which was Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willingdon and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back till midday on Sunday. The men had milked the cows in the early morning and then gone out rabbitting, without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back he immediately went to sleep"(Orwell 17), within this quote Orwell shows how Jones runs the farm solely for profit without consideration for the animals condition. Czar Nicholas II treated the people within his country the same way Jones treated his animals, the Czar lik .....
