.... prejudice in private than in public. Ballen avoids a crude internalist/externalist dichotomy, and develops a more subtle approach which recognizes the place of new ideas within science, as well as the background of the scientists. Nonetheless, it was an external event, the emergence of Nazi Germany, which mobilized a politically active minority to challenge the intellectual foundations of scientific racism. The book is divided into three sections --Anthropology, Biology and Politics. In each section, Ballen compares developments in Britain and in the United States, for the case against racism developed quite differently in the two scientific communities. On .....

.... of hanging on to the past and retelling the same story again, through different “main” characters, and says this is the reason the book is uninteresting, saying that “A writer cannot go forward by clinging wholly to his past.” Harris Another reason he says it is uninteresting is because the two main characters, Joe and Warren (which are hard to determine between), are vague and hard to understand. Harris claims that Doctorow's complete abandonment of punctuation and the formal sentance in this book are reminiscent of Thomas Pynchon, but it seems as if he is trying desperately, (and badly) to search for his own style, a way to test his own limits as an author. .....

.... two groups had different lifestyles but had met on a common ground in some areas. To start off I'll talk about the book written by Gilbert L. Wilson, Waheenee. Known as the Buffalo Bird woman, Waheenee was part of the Hidatsa which was one of the settled agricultural tribes living on the upper Missouri river (Wilson 42). She was born in 1839, 2 years after the devastating smallpox epidemic which wiped out half of the tribe at that time. This caused the survivors to move north where they found Like-a- Fishhook Village. Waheenee at the age of six lost her mother which her great-grandmother and her grandmother raised her. So Waheenee had many mothe .....

.... the book to know the outcome. The happenings in the story do portray reality of the lives of Chinese immigrants in America, their hardship and difficulty in adapting American lifestyle and culture. For the younger generations, adapting the American culture and lifestyle is much easier than for the older generations. This is shown in the book and it also happens in reality, which is another reason why I like this book. This is a fiction novel, but the story told is like a non-fiction book; giving readers a sense of realism. As a Chinese reading , I understand the narrator’s feelings and predicaments. Although she is an Asian, her thinking lies more on the .....

.... to be deported. Eliezer did not see his friend Moshe for months. When he finally saw him, Moshe was weeping. Eliezer asked him what was wrong. Moshe told him he was in a concentration camp. He said they threw him in a pit and shot his leg, but he managed to escape to worn him to flee for his life. Eliezer didn't listen to him anyway. About three days later, German troops entered Sighet. They order the people of Sighet to surrender to them or die. The people surrendered and had to give up all their possessions. Moshe was right, it did happen. All the people of Sighet were jammed into train cars and shipped to the concentration camp of Aushcwi .....

.... is afraid to talk to him. His reason for this is that he does "not want any external influence in [his] life" (Wilde 24). This is almost a paradox in that it is eventually his own internal influence that destroys him. Wilde does this many times throughout the book. He loved using paradoxes and that is why Lord Henry, the character most similar to Wilde, is quoted as being called "Price Paradox." Although Dorian and Basil end up hating each other, they do enjoy meeting each other for the first time. Basil finds something different about Dorian. He sees him in a different way than he sees other men. Dorian is not only beautiful to Basil, but he is also gentle .....

.... and shows his lack of self-esteem in statements like “They will say: ‘How his hair is growing thin” (41) and “They will say: ‘How his legs and arms are thin” (46). Prufrock believes that he is to old for adventure and feels that he has lost his chance for love. He expresses this by saying, I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers and walk upon the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they will sing to me (120-125). The mermaid being his love which might reject him if he so dares to ask the question. Prufrock is a procrastin .....
