.... from the parks natural beauty. Cars, litter, and vandalism can all be attributed to "progress." In this frame of thinking "progress" kind of contradicts it's self. The most detrimental aspect of progress is the automobile. "'Parks are for people' is the public-relations slogan, which decoded means that the parks are for people-in -automobiles." People come streaming in, driving their cars. They are in a hurry because they are trying to see as many parks as possible in their short vacation time. They have to deal with things such as: car troubles, traffic, hotel rooms, other visitors pushing them onward, their bored children, and the long trip home .....

.... These were to make sure that everyone had brushed their teeth, taken a bath, combed their hair, and made his or her bed. Plus, each of the children had to weigh themselves, plot their weight on a graph, and initial the charts after all the other chores were done! Frank is known as an efficiency expert. He did things like button his shirt from the bottom up, instead of top to bottom because the process has a three second gap. He would even lather his face with two brushes and then try to shave with two razors. The idea with the two razors didn't work quite as well as some of his other objectives. For instance, he was angrier at the fact that it took h .....

.... His observations in chapter III apply well with modern day America. He takes some tips from the Romans, stating that a Prince should "colonize, protect lesser powers without increasing their strength, reduce strong and threatening powers, do not let foreign powers gain footing in neighboring areas"(38). America has accomplished a lot of these tasks; perhaps that is why we are one of the world's super powers. We colonized the North American continent, we've protected our allies yet we don't give them much power, reduced the strong nations and threatening powers (Milosevic, Sadam, and Yeltsin), and we invaded many islands in the Pacific as strategic .....

.... Goethe's Faust, the proud condition of human nature can be seen by the way Faust was willing to sell his soul to better himself. In Faust Mephistopheles makes a wager with God.

.... implications, especially in relation to themes of creation, destruction, and the nature of existence. Milton, in Paradise Lost, establishes that with sex, as with religion, he is of no particular hierarchical establishment. However, Milton does not want to be confused with the stereotypical puritan. Milton the poet, seems to celebrate the ideal of sex; yet, he deplores concupiscence and warns against the evils of lust, insisting lust leads to sin, violence and death. From the beginning, Satan, like fallen humanity, not only blames others; but also makes comic and grandiose reasons for his evil behavior. Yet, despite his reasoning to seek revenge .....

.... taking a exclusive summer writing course. Only the best of the best writers had been able to be excepted to this class and Esther was sure she had made it until her mother had told her she was not accepted. This was what pushed Esther over the edge. She became more and more obsessed about how she would kill herself and planed it out carefully. When the time came she just couldn't do it. So she began to preoccupied herself by thinking of other ways of death. She couldn't sleep or read this bothered her because she loved to read.

.... have happened to him in the past. When Nick arrives at the town of Seney, he sees that the town is completely burned to the ground. When Nick was on the bridge he looked down at the water and saw trout in the water going against the current. Nick realized that the trout were changing their positions only to steady themselves once again: Nick looked down into the clear, brown water, colored from the pebbly bottom, and watched the trout keeping themselves steady in the current with wavering fins. As he watched them they changed their positions by quick angles, only to hold steady in the fast water again (472). Hemingway is trying to show that the trout are b .....

.... characteristics, however, change between different cultures. Jeanne was at odds with both of these facets, because she did not look like the other white, kids, and her idea of gender roles before school were based on how her parents acted, who were first generation Japanese immigrants. Accordingly, Jeanne had to work extra hard to compensate for her differences so she could fit in with the mainstream of white people. Because of the want to fit in, Jeanne accepted white culture's beliefs in terms of school and gender as the way to model her life because it is made fitting in easier. Jeanne seems to have set up her own type of Jim Crow rules, like those .....
