.... abyss of sorrow.” This sums up his entire disposition towards himself at the end of the novel. He was taken into the army, willfully, but still taken, in the prime of his youth, to a place where death and destruction were facts of life. Remarque depicts a transition in the value systems of Paul and his comrades. Kemmerich’s boots, symbolic of a horizontal value system, can be seen to have considerable influence over those in the novel. However, Bäumer comments, “…Müller would rather go bare-foot over barbed wire than scheme how to get hold of them [boots]… the boots are quite inappropriate to Kemmeri .....

He took the name Gaius Caesar Octavianus after the murder of his great uncle, Julius Caesar. In 27 B.C. the Roman Se .....

.... with nicer hair and a fuller figure." She Fahning -2-speaks of the fire that burned and scarred Maggie. She tells us how Maggie is not bright, how she shuffles when she walks.

.... (156). Even though, Odysseus resides on a beautiful island with a goddess who takes care of him, he still wishes to be at home. Odysseus recognizes that fact that the island is beautiful, but he still longs to be at home.

Odysseus even mentions that Penelope “falls far short” (159) of Calypso, but yet, Odysseus’s heart is with Penelope. Next, Odysseus must build a raft himself.

.... down at the few notes he had been able to salvage from the previous session's mangled tape, "last week, we established with a fair degree of certainty, that you are suffering from an unresolved Oedipus complex. This, in turn, has contributed to your success, by engendering in you a sense of competition with your father. The matter was not helped by the fact that you frequently suffered comparison with him in your youth. "This week I hope to confirm the conclusions we drew through a brief examination of your present life. This examination will, hopefully, yield manifestations of this dysfunction, and then we may direct our efforts .....

.... a life filled with jealousy and grief. Howard Frank Mosher paints the same portrait for us, only in a more commonly know setting. A black man and his son are cognizant of their color when they are forced to live in a town of solely white people. As the murder trial unfolds, we find out that the man’s son also has been having a relationship such as the one Ishmael and Hatsue had. He had been having "relations" with a white mail-order bride that had just arrived in town. They kept this secret because of the obvious problems it would have caused with the bigoted townspeople. In both stories, a love between two diffe .....

.... take less time than reading books and memorizing something that would take almost no time using a computer in the futuristic world that Asimov describes. Humans might began to rely on computers and allow them to control themselves by letting computers educate people. Computers would start teaching humans what computers tell them without having any choice of creativity. Computer ould start to control humans' lives and make humans become too dependent on the computers. Another point that is criticized by Asimov is the fact that people might take their knowledge for granted allowing computers to take over and control their lives. .....

.... compares Libby to a flower that dies too soon in the second stanza and then repeats it in the third. The word "little" appears eight times throughout the poem to over emphasize how little Libby is. She also tells us that her friends mourn for Libby three different times in lines 12, 16 and 17. This repetition seems to make the poem dull. Compared to Owen's poem, this poem lacks the descriptive details of her death. It concentrates more on the way she was and how she was perceived by others. Although both poems are good, Owen's poem is a far more interesting poem because I believe it is written in a more descriptive way. .....
