.... Tom; although the youngest child is the one faced with the most responsibility. He is the one forced to work all day in a shoe factory. He has to give up most of his money to pay the rent for their apartment, and to pay for all of their bills. This is not the life that Tom envisioned for himself. "Listen! You think I'm crazy about the warehouse?. . . You think I want to spend fifty-five years down there in that-celotex interior! with- fluorescent-tubes! Look! I'd rather somebody picked up a crowbar and battered out by brains- than go back mornings. . . For sixty-five dollars a month I give up all that I dream of doing and being ever!” This stat .....

.... knowledge it is very difficult to have awareness. The citizens are forced into ignorance because, knowledge "was not good for the common people, and could make them discontented with the lot which God had appointed for them, and God would not endure discontentment with His plans."(279) They are taught to be followers of God and all that symbolizes Him and His power which leads to the importance they place on the idea of Moral Sense. Moral Sense is "the faculty which enables us to distinguish good from evil," however Eseldorf's citizens only know what is religiously virtuous so this is how they define Moral Sense. The people think that their freewill is .....

.... In her present condition it becomes apparent that her outlook on life has changed for the worst. Hester's life becomes a pitiful mess as she feels she must reject any happiness she might gain from her meager subsistence.

.... that Paul and his mother have. Thus, James and Law¬ rence seem to be using similar themes with different surroundings and events. Although the circumstances are different, Henry James and D. H. Lawrence characterize the children as being Impoverished. Henry James in his novel What Maisie Knew , portrays the main character, Maisie, as being impoverished emotionally. The emotional poverty that Maisie experiences in her life exist because of her parents extremely vicious hatred for each other. They use Maisie as a “vessel for bitterness” (13). To Beale and Ida, Maisie was just a tool that they used to hurt the other person. Eventually, Maisie figured .....

.... of the first victim. Adam is in the beginning of the book a rebellious young man. The typical teenager in revolt. He's growing his hair long, refusing to go to school and talking back to his mother. He seemes to calm down quite a bit though in just a few days. As a matter of fact, as soon they arrive at the new school, Adam seemes to be more mature and calm. Maybe that's because he doesn't have any friends in the new school, maybe because he feels inferior being the new kid and outsider that he is. Adam's relationship to his father seemes to vary a lot. At first Adam looks at his father as if he was a perfect stranger.And he has all rights to do that since .....

Achilles was prophesied to die gloriously in battle if he chose his life’s way as a warrior. Oedipus was exiled and condemned by his own words, after he slew his sire and wed his mother. This type of prophesy can blind even the gods themselves; Chronos was fated to be defeated and his throne stolen by his son. Demeter loses Persephone periodically every year because her daughter ate Hades’ pomegranates. Prophecy plays an important role in the whole of Greek folklore. Something this ever-present bears further examination. In The Odyssey, .....

.... overdoses himself with several chapters of it at a single sitting, he will deserve to be nauseated, and he will have nobody to blame but himself if he is. There is no more sin in publishing an entire volume of nonsense than there is in keeping a candy-store with no hardware in it. It lies wholly with the customer whether he will injure himself by means of either, or will derive from them the benefits which they will afford him if he uses their possibilities judiciously. Respectfully submitted, THE AUTHOR. THE STORY OF A SPEECH. An address delivere .....

.... Scott Fitzgerald provides a social commentary on the 1920's in this novel. The Great Gatsby is an important American novel and not just a mere historical document depicting life in the 1920's. Like other writers of the 20's Fitzgerald was fascinated by the spectacle of what had become of the American Dream and how it had become corrupted by greed andmaterialistic possessions. At the end of Chapter One, Nick catches Gatsby stretching his arms out towards a green light. At the time it is not revealed to us that this is the light at the end of Daisy's dock. he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and far as I was from him .....
