.... searched out things, he collected things," (Ondaatje, pg.157) indicates that he is always searching for something. The title, “,” can also be used to illustrate Patrick's perpetual search. In the preface, Ondaatje states, "(T)he joyful will stoop... I will wander through the wilderness ." Patrick is wandering through the wilderness, searching and hunting. He has no purpose in life; he just searches. The thing that he is looking for is light. This ambiguous concept of light Ondaatje presents throughout the novel is not ordinary light, but one that illuminates the void of darkness. Just like the moths that Patrick is intr .....

.... 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 f .....

.... "Upon the murderer I invoke this curse- whether he is one man and all unknown, or one of many- may he wear out his life in misery or doom! If with my knowledge he lives at my hearth, I pray that I myself may feel my curse." (pg. 438; lines 266-271) In order for Sophecles' Greek audience to relate to the tragic figure, he had to have some type of flaws or an error of ways. This brought the character down to a human level, invoking in them the fear that "it could happen to them." And Oedipus certainly is not one without flaws. His pride, ingnorance, insolence and disbelief in the gods, and unrelenting quest for the truth ultimate .....

.... many others to be more witty or more eloquent or more learned, yet they will hardly believe there be so many so wise as themselves, for they see their own wit at hand and other men's at a distance. (83) Hobbes' is trying to establish man's image as being self-centered. He is trying to prove that it is man's ego that drives man's actions and those actions will therefore create a never-ending cycle of competition, which he calls "war". We are in a constant struggle with other human beings and ourselves and that leads to social contracts. He says that war does not mean "actual fighting", but any time that man is searching for some ki .....

He was strength for the Jewish community. He helped everyone prepare to be evacuated. He was a leader and he helped him neighbors and friends as much as he could. I knew when he was in the back yard talking while they were in the ghetto that something bad would happen, then the nazis come and take him away to a meeting when he came back he told them that the ghetto would be cleaned out.

.... stronger than Eve and should have been able to resist her temptation. "What weakness offered, strength might have refused, Being lord of all, the greater was his shame…For he was lord and king of all the earth, Before poor Eve had either life or breath" (35-36, 39-40). This statement is ironic because Lanyer does not believe that women are weak or that men are stronger. She goes on to chide Adam for "lay(ing) the fault on Patience' back" (49) and wonders why women must put up with the stigma attached with being held responsible for the fall of humankind. It wasn't that he was "persuaded" (54) by Eve to eat the a .....

.... of his openness he was able to talk his way out of getting into trouble. Finny claimed that he wore the tie as a belt because it represented “Devon in the War.” Again, Gene was envious of Finny’s openness to make up a story and “get away with everything.” Another one of Gene’s enemies is his anger. Alone, his anger is mild, but when mixed with his jealousy, prove to be a deadly combination. Gene was angry at such things as Finny’s ability go get out of trouble, and his own unwillingness to say “no” to Finny. The real war, however, started when he got the idea that because .....

Romeo learns that the Capulet’s are throwing a great party, in which Rosaline is attending. Although it is dangerous for a Montague to appear in this assembly, Romeo risks his life just to see his love. Benvolio also persuades the young lord to go in the disguise of a mask, “[g]o thither, and with unattained eye”(1.2.87). Benvolio’s plan is to show to Romeo that he need not worry about Rosaline’s love, because “[a]t this same ancie .....
