.... of thought in its government. This ideology viewed the working class and peasantry as the main citizens in their society, while the rich landowners were not nearly as powerful as they once were. Thus the workers of Magnitogorsk held a very important position as they had the responsibility to help the Soviet Union take flight as a country that could compete with other powerful countries of the world, all while working under the most inhumane conditions. John Scott moved to the Soviet Union leaving the United States and in his eyes, its unsatisfactory capitalistic way of governing. Scott may have been aided in making his decision as .....

.... but left after an unhappy year. Even as he worked as a delivery man, a messmate on ships to Africa and Europe, a busboy, and a dishwasher, his poetry appeared regularly in such magazines as The Crisis (NAACP) and Opportunity (National Urban League).1 As a poet, Hughes was the first person to combine the traditional poetry with black artistic forms, especially blues and jazz. As a leader in the Harlem Renaissance of the twenties and thirties Hughes became the movements best known poet. He published two poetry collections, The Weary Blues (1926) and Fine Clothes to the Jew (1927).2 Mainly because of the depression Hughes b .....

.... born directly from the earth; now through women, they would undergo birth by procreation, and consequently old age, suffering and death. She was given a box which contained all manner of misery and evils and was responsible for letting them escape, to torment humankind forever. Secondly, Zeus caught Prometheus, chained him to a rock, and each day an eagle would visit him and feed on his liver. Prometheus’ liver, however, replenished itself overnight, so he was condemned not so much to a single act of punishment but to perpetual torture. This is the price of tampering with nature. Prometheus’ ultimate downfall was caus .....

.... to go array he grows weak and falls to the ground. He "begins to doubt whether there really was a Heaven above him" and this is a key point when Goodman Brown's faith begins to wain. Goodman Brown in panic declares that "With Heaven above, and Faith below, I will yet stand firm against the devil!" This is similar to a Puritan putting his faith in God and following “God’ Plan.” The forest that Goodman Brown ventures to in itself is a symbol. In the Puritan days the townspeople were barred from going into the forest because that is where evil lurked and even says “ my father never went into the woods…n .....

.... are comparative to each other. As the physical house of Usher crumbles, so do the family members in turn. As each brick in the house erodes, so do the minds of the Usher family. As Roderick Usher crumbles there is a sense of approaching doom is descending upon the entire household. Both the house and the Ushers are awaiting collapse. When Roderick collapsed to the floor dead, the narrator ran from the house, as he "saw the mighty walls rushing asunder" (1405). When the Ushers deteriorated, the house did too, until they eventually fell together. The poem "The Haunted Palace" (1397) makes the same connection between the h .....

.... was also about the time of the Jack the Ripper murders in which people were afraid to step out of their homes. The Jack the Ripper case was never solved and there was much controversy associated with the police investigation. The public had lost some of its faith in the police force and was looking for a figure of hope and inspiration. The selection criteria were short: Someone who always got his man. The only one who fitted this description was Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes was not only the world's greatest detective, but he also lived in London. He was someone close to home and a man well steeped in Victorian traditi .....

.... used societies stereotype of the true male environment, “nature”, to draw their power and write from their experiences. Experience was the most important factor to these writers. The ability “to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account in my next excursion” was the basis of all their writings. “To get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the whole world” was their goal behind all their writings. They did not use their power of writing in order to gain a transcendentalist experience, but rather to record them. Both Emerson and Thoreau chose to contact their true .....

.... (1). \"Is it my little squirrel bustling about?\" (2). A lark is a happy, carefree bird, and a squirrel is quite the opposite. If you are to squirrel away something, you were hiding or storing it, kind of like what Nora was doing with her bag of macaroons. It seems childish that Nora must hide things such as macaroons from her husband, but if she didn\'t and he found out, she would be deceiving him and going against his wishes which would be socially wrong. As the play goes on, Nora seems to transform from her delicate little character into something much more. At the end of act one, Krogstad goes to Nora for the recolle .....

.... characters come to life and guide us through the many social guises of ninteenth century England. Miss Havisham's lazy and indulgent nature is seen through Pip's many vivid descriptions of her as he became progressively more embroiled in Miss Havisham's games. Miss Havisham personified the idle rich as she sat in her mansion, brooding over the past, while still wearing her disintegrating wedding dress. Miss Havisham was obsessed with her failed marriage and created another doomed relationship by manufacturing Estella to break Pip's heart. Miss Havisham acted so childishly partly because she was brought up by a wealthy father w .....

.... exclusive domain of men." This means that women are not "being emancipated as human beings" and the war would then continue and produce a great deal of hatred on both sides. Each group hates the other and fears the attacks of each other. "Even though men pretend otherwise, they nonetheless do fear women." In "Everyday Use," this thinking is put to the test because Mrs. Johnson manages quite well without a man and seems more at peace with herself. Yet Mrs. Johnson exist in the story as a foil for her daughter Dee, who like other women suffers from misplaced loyalties or perhaps more accurately misplaced priorities. Dee remai .....
