.... envy in the villagers, and that night Kino is attacked in his hut by a thief. The following day, he tries to sell the pearl to buyers in town, but he is offered only a small amount of money for it. The buyers all work for the same man. They know the pearl is worth a fortune but hope to buy it cheaply by pretending that it is worth little. Kino says he will sell his pearl in the capital city, where he believes he will get a fair price. This amazes the villagers because Kino has never traveled so far. After dark that evening, Kino is attacked again. Juana is sure the pearl is evil and will destroy .....

.... once said in his sermon, “Home is where they have to let you in.” Family use to mean blood relatives. Today people are often separated from families, whether by choice or distance. They try to form their own families with friends. These formed families are not permanent. You do not have automatic acceptance into a group that is regardless of merit. People also move away. And they do not have to invite you to Thanksgiving or give you a loan until payday. We are encouraged to be independent in a time when we need to be dependent. Families are being hurt by therapy. Therapy usually consists of a one-on-one r .....

.... that holds meaning for him. When he first departs, he stops at an inn and his eyes make it a beautiful castle with blushing maids and noble sirs. The wench Aldonza is turned into Dulcinea, his one true love, who he swears by in his battles and contemplates when he is idle. Another example of his point-of-view is the famous windmill incident. Quixote sees "’thirty monstrous giants... with... long arms... the length of two leagues.’" such is the demented mind of Don Quixote. He went down into a legendary pit to behold its wonders. Once inside, he convinced himself he saw a transparent castle and that the people there we .....

.... knew before. Ms Kinnian cares deeply for Charlie, in this radio play, she believes Charlie is a " very fine person," but Charlie feels more than respect for Ms Kinnian. As Charlie's emotions develop, he realises that he is "in love with Ms Kinnian." It is questionable, however, if Charlie really does love Ms Kinnian, or just thinks he does for she is the one person that understands him. In the beginning of the radio play, Charlie believes he has wonderful friends, who he has fun with and who are very nice people. Meanwhile, Joe and Frank, ( his friends), are just continuously making fun of him, by making very bad j .....

.... easily spawns such dramatic alterations in the prince's attitude. For example, when first suspects Ophelia acts only as the pawn for Polonius's ploys, he reacts rashly, bitterly denying that he ever loved her. "You should not have believed me, for virtue cannot so / inoculate our old stock, but we shall relish of it. I loved / you not" (3.1.117-19). This massive reversal in disposition is later contrasted by another reversal when leaps into Ophelia's open grave at her funeral to dispute Laertes and claim, "I loved Ophelia, forty thousand brothers / Could not with all their quantity of love / Make up my sum" (5.1.252-54). T .....

.... person from her birth, Hagar never knew the problems of racism and poverty as other people in her small, midwestern town knew and felt. Hagar's life was completely devoted to Milkman, her cousin and lover. "He is my home in this world." (pg. 137) Her happiness, Milkman, would ultimately be her depression as "Ecclesiasties" finally turned her success into failure, though Hagar exaggerated the loss and apparently was not aware of the Biblical promise that her life would eventually regain confidence and prosperity. After Milkman no longer loved her, Hagar suddenly became a different p erson, "into a bright blue place where the air .....

.... is divided into four gigantic Ministries: The Ministry of Truth, The Ministry of Peace, The Ministry of Love, and The Ministry of Plenty. The Ministry of Truth controls the news, entertainment, education, and the fine arts. The Ministry of Peace controls all of the concerns of war. The Ministry of Love maintains law and order. Then the Ministry of Plenty is responsible for economical affairs. The government had three slogans, “War is Peace”, “ Freedom is Slavery” , and “ Ignorance is Strength.” Poverty is at a maximum, and the standard of living is decaying. Parents are afraid of their own kids .....

.... People would thinks to themselves wow. Or seeing a huge mushroom cloud fling into the air and destroy everything it touches. That the only purpose of science fiction is to “…deals with events that did not happen, may have happened, or have not yet happened” (Gunn and Boucher 1). People often have a hard time understanding that Science Fiction and Fantasy are very different from one another. Fantasy deals with the supernatural where as Science Fiction doesn’t. So in no way will Science Fiction ever be the same as Fantasy. One of the greatest writes of his time, Ray Bradbury has contributed so much to the .....

.... war. Through humor he eased the pains of America and also made himself a popular literary figure of the time. In the story "Life on the Mississippi" he writes of the life in a small town on the Mississippi where steamboats passed and little boys dreamed. Written about a small average American town, yet there is so much truth revealed within it and how it is the American experience. He traveled through out America experiencing much of the country, the life and the people, and writing things down as he went along. He used these experiences as the basis for his stories and since they were based on truth, spoke of America, and .....

.... admitting that she will never be as talented as he is: “A Bartas can do what a Bartas will / But simple I according to my skill”(stanza 2, lines 11-12). The sarcasm in these lines cause the typical reader of the poem to reconsider that perhaps women are not as bad as Bradstreet portrays them to be, exactly the thought she has schemed for the reader to think. Continuing, Bradstreet mentions regret for her lack of skill, in which she laments the fact that “A weak or wounded brain admits no cure”(stanza 4, line 24). As the reader proceeds reading, Bradstreet discusses the prejudice against women, knowing that if sh .....
