.... things turn out badly, I want to be the one who chooses her, and I tell you now that if she is not honored by you as your lady...you will learn to your displeasure how serious a matter it was to compel me with your requests..." (Boccaccio 135). From this statement Gualtieri is portrayed as a compassionate man. He says he will blame no one but himself if things do not work out and once his wife is chosen he orders his people to respect her, no matter what. This is ironic for him to say, due to the actions he takes later in the story. As the play proceeds Gualtieri's actions become more inexcusable and immoral. He "wished to test his .....

.... he reached for Beowulf. Beowulf grasped his arm and sat up. The criminal knew he had not met in this middle-earth another with such a grip”(ch. 4). At this point Grendel was afraid of who this man was. Just the courage not to run away, but to fight the beast, Beowulf proved himself to be a courageous man. Another trait that comes with courage is being noble. To be noble, one has to take risks on his own behalf to save the suffrage of others, because he wants to. Beowulf had killed many monsters before, but this was for his own safety, like the one’s he fought in the sea. But Grendel was a monster that was eating his men and B .....

.... intentions in Vietnam were muddled, thus forces were misguided and outcomes were unfavorable. Originally the American presence in South Vietnam was mainly to push for the social betterment of the Vietnamese people. Soon however, an offensive stance was required in the face of socialist expansion into the region. America feared that communist control of Vietnam would tip the balance of world power in Russia's favor. This led to much criticism of the US for its role as an international police force. Effects on Vietnamese The Vietnamese suffered on many levels as a result of the United States intervention. T .....

.... accordingly. This arrangement was alright until Ernest got to the age when he wanted to be a "gun-toting Pawnee Bill". He began, at that time, to pull away from his mother, and never forgave her for his humiliation. The town of Oak Park, where Ernest grew up, was very old fashioned and quite religious. The townspeople forbad the word "virgin" from appearing in school books, and the word "breast" was questioned, though it appeared in the Bible. Ernest loved to fish, canoe and explore the woods. When he couldn't get outside, he escaped to his room and read books. He loved to tell stories to his classmates, often insisting that a frie .....

.... far, and when she came home drunk and passed out on her bed, she scared her parents half to death. It was a rough patch in her life, and hurting her family like that made it even rougher.   Autumn never told anyone, but one of her greatest fears was losing all of her friends by getting too wrapped up in a boy. It seemed like it all just happened so fast, and in just one day Autumn’s friends decided that they were sick of being put second to Autumn’s relationship with her boyfriend.

.... dreams are my solitude, I take great pleasure in sleep, a time to relish on the life I may never have, the women I may never have, and the beauty I may never see. Thank you for these dreams. It is slowly killing me. I feel my soul and life falling and receding like my hair, or so I imagine. Another fear of mine, hair loss. Funny how a person can be so vain, and yet he may mean little to the world. Or is it I mean so much, and the world means so little? How can it be explained, you are only glorified after you die, like the painters, and the poets? Am I a poet, I can't paint, I must be. Poets are only glorified by the elit .....

.... us upward." (180) The Duke sees himself as being more powerful and influential, more of a leader, than either Hitler or Mussolini. He compares his potential leadership to that of a country’s flag- someone people will respect and admire. He truly believes he can be their new leader and puts himself on a pedestal. The Duke and Duchess posses many secrets. Findley explains how, "…an agent of Churchill’s [was]-- playing on David’s [Duke’s] drunkenness to discover how deep his treason ran." (198) The Duke has become very manipulative in his schemes and people want to know what he plans to do next. Thus, the Duke of .....

.... to ¡§inflamed respect¡¨. By using these methods, stress is put onto the point that is being made by France and therefore is more explicit to the audience. France also uses loaded verbs to describe Lear¡¦s actions, including ¡§cast¡¨ and ¡§thrown¡¨, to suggest that Lear is being harsh and barbaric towards Cordelia, as these verbs sound aggressive. Lines 237 ¡V 239 When France remarks that ¡§Love¡¦s not love¡¨ when it is ¡§mingled with regards¡¨ that stand ¡§Aloof from th¡¦entire point¡¨ he reveals a major issue that arises in this play. By saying this, he means that when there are other things being .....

.... during sleep--and a perfect pleasure drug called "Soma" are the cornerstones of the new society. Religion, thinking and loneliness have been abolished. Reproduction has been removed from the womb and placed on the con-veyor belt, where reproductive workers tinker with the embryos to produce various grades of human beings, ranging from the super-intelligent Alpha Pluses down to the dwarfed semi-moron Epsilons. Each class is conditioned to love its type of work and its place in society; for example, Epsilons are supremely happy running elevators. Outside of their work, people spend their lives in constant pleasure. This involves .....
