.... of the New World’s aura, and eventually decides it’s more important than her father’s preaching. Sara has also inherited a large part of her father’s tenacity, and uses it in her own particular way to achieve her goals. This equality of willpower, this sameness of temperament between Sara and her father is necessary for their ability to resist each other’s choices. No one else in the family has the necessary rigidity to stand up against the father in a decisive way. In the struggle between the Old and New Worlds, the Old keeps winning. When Fania falls in love with Lipkin, Sara steps in and says, “Father, didnâ .....

.... new bride now, "so Jason neglects his children" (62). This causes only more pain for Medea. Jason decided that he wanted to divorce Medea and marry the princess of Corinth, casting Medea aside as if they had never been married. Not only is Medea paying for the divorce, the two children are also effected by it. This sort of activity was acceptable for Greek standards, but not for Medea. Medea will not accept anything less until she feels Jason has felt the pain she herself has felt. "Medea questions herself, women and men after Jason dishonored her" (67). She has come to re evaluate her own self, realizing she is not the same na .....

.... hard for there dream why can't I. It showed me that it does not matter were you come from or what you do, it is okay to dream and work as hard as you can to reach it. For all it shows for friendship and loyalty it also shows how sometimes you have to do things you never thought you would do. For example in the end when George is forced to shoot Lennie in the head you would never have thought he would do that, but you can see that under the circumstances he had no other choice. He only had two choices let the other people get to him first and watch them torture Lennie while he died a long horrible .....

.... whether he would prefer to believe that BOB worked through Leland or ‘that a man would rape and murder his own daughter.’ At this moment Twin Peaks articulates a revision of the seduction theory. Little girls are not abused by their fathers; if they meet an unhappy end, the reason must be sought outside the family circle” (Desmet 98). This reinforces societies urge not to directly face its problems, but rather turn away in a convenient manner. Twin Peaks expresses this urge by hiding Leland’s identity as the rapist/murder so well, until it is finally showed to the audience when Leland brutally murders his n .....

.... describes living in one cabin with two large families. How could two families sleep in such a small cabin? Stroyer describes the tension it caused living so close together. Families often competed against one another for food. When someone stole a hog from the master and brought the meat home, the other family reported the thief to the master. That person suffered severe consequences. Stroyer describes how the family sleep when it got so hot during the summer. "When it was too warm for them to sleep comfortably, they all slept under trees until it grew too cool" (Stroyer 57). Stroyer , however, was very fortunate enough .....

.... of the Inner Station. In this essay, I will explain and analyze Kurtz’s “de-humanity”, and how effective it is in achieving Conrad’s goal. This “deconstruction” of Kurtz culminates with his utterance of the phrase, “The horror! The horror!”, as he lay dying. Yet, first we must explain what Kurtz was before he stepped over the edge. From the moment Marlowe arrives on the coast of Africa, he hears tales of an incredible man, who runs a trading post deep in the Congo. The accountant at the first station said, “He [Kurtz] is a remarkable person.... Sends in as much ivory as al .....

.... means “worthy of belief,” and deals with establishing credibility. Pathos involves “putting hearers…into the right frame of mind with regard to certain issues and the speakers persuasive intent” (Smith 83). Logos includes the arguments that are used to make a point, and involves the basis upon which the arguments were made. The use of these three elements in harmony with each other will produce a persuasive argument according to Aristotle. Being that he did “write the book on rhetoric,” I will be using the ideas of Aristotle as the blueprint for effective writing to which I will .....

.... that were to give her such sway over all hearts” (Hawthorne 11). Georgiana’s casual approach towards the birthmark reveals while she answers “No, indeed,” when her husband asks her “has it never occurred to you [Georgiana] that the mark upon your cheek might be removed?” (Hawthorne 10). Aylmer however visions the birthmark as Hawthorne says “small blue stains which sometimes occur in the purest statuary marble . . .” (11). Later on “Georgiana soon learn(s) to shudder” as her husband’s hatred towards the birthmark considerably increases (Hawthorne 12). Aylmer .....

.... roads with anything God made liable to jump on you. Feel that. (Beloved 67-68)” These are Sethe’s words to Paul D that describe her feelings about the torture she received in the barn at the hands of Schoolteacher’s boys. Her emotional and physical scars run deep because of the sexual violation and the beatings she took. Life on Sweet Home wasn’t always a hell on earth though. Before Schoolteacher, she and the other Sweet Home men had a certain degree or respect. She was allowed to choose Halle out of the men to be her husband and was disheartened to learn there would be no ceremony for them. She had .....

.... and that is inexcusable. His left his wife Bertrande, causing her great pain and endless wondering whether he still was alive. In a quote from the narrator, “He had deserted her in the full beauty of her youth, in the height of her great passion, he had shamed her and wounded her…” (34). Martin also deserted his young son, Sanxi. The child barely knew him when he left, and then grew to love and respect another man whom he thought to be his father, Arnaud du Tilh. To him the real Martin Guerre was a stranger. Martin’s father was greatly disappointed in him, leaving the old man very bitter until the .....
