.... in high school." (p. 6) Within a group of other white high school kids, it is very hard to grasp equal freedom for blacks and whites within a racist school. Pat's transformation first started while visiting a concentration camp in Dachau. "The imprint of Dachau branded me indelibly and caused me to suffer the miscarriage of my hopeful philosophy. If man was good, then Dachau could never have happened." (p.10) The second imprint on Pat's life came after Martin Luther King Jr's assassination. Pat noticed that the white students reacted passively to the event. "Since the faculty was all white, the black stud .....

.... represents the devil. Another struggle between good and evil occurs in The Minister’s Black Veil. The minister’s veil symbolizes the hiding of evil. This suggests that the minister has committed a sin and is trying to shield himself from the townspeople. The townspeople, being ignorant, are frightened of this veil and what may lie underneath. They see it as a symbol of evil. Aylmer from The Birthmark symbolizes the puritan beliefs and goal of purification. The birthmark on his wife’s cheek is a symbol for perfection. Being the shape of a hand suggests to the townspeople that it is handprint from an angel, which may also mean that it is a symbol for go .....

.... evil in the pearl had reached the heart of the doctor. The pearl's evil did not restrict itself to infecting Kino's peers; it also affected Kino himself. He wanted to sell the pearl and use the money to better his family's standard of living. He had dreams and goals that all depended on the pearl. When Juana wanted to destroy the pearl, Kino beat her unmercifully: He struck her in the face and she fell among the boulders, and he kicked her in the side...He hissed at her like a snake and she stared at him with wide unfrightened eyes, like a sheep before a butcher. (742) Juana saw through the outer beauty of the pearl .....

.... dead tired. And there was reason for it. In less than five months they had traveled twenty-five hundred miles, during the last eighteen hundred of which they had but five days' rest. When they arrived at Skaguay, they were apparently on their last legs. They could barely keep the traces taut, and on the down grades just managed to keep out of the way of the sled (London Chapter V).” Jack London used ideas of Darwinism as well as determinism when he wrote The Call of the Wild. This report will give brief meanings to the words determinism and Darwinism. Then, how Jack London uses determinism and Darwinism in the novel. Finally, a little background informatio .....

.... to give up. It also shows that he cares for his friend, Tom Robinson, and does not want to let him down. Another example is that Atticus is determined to spend a lot of time with the children and tells them many things that may help them in the future. This shows that Atticus is determined to raise his children with good manners and morals and also to have no prejudices against anyone that is different than them. He also spends a lot of time with them to help them with their schoolwork and any troubles that they maybe facing. In addition another heroic quality is Atticus’ persistence.

.... is a great book for someone looking for direction and conflict resolution. However, if you're looking for a book with depth and literary merit, you'd be better off with Danielle Steele.

A major problem I had with reading The Celestine Prophecy was keeping track of who was who; the characters have little or no distinction between them, and it was a bit confusing because he keeps encountering the same people in different situations. Another thig is Redf .....

.... written by Richard Leakey, ultimately highlights humanity's mishandling of the natural world. Leakey's aim for his book is simply to make people aware of the real situation this planet and its ecosystems are facing, as a direct result of man. The statistics that have been compiled for '' are alarming. This is evident considering: fifty percent of the Earth's species will have vanished inside the next 100 years; mankind is using almost half of the energy available to sustain life on the planet, and this figure will grow as population jumps in the next 50 years from 6 billion to approximately 10 billion. Now, with the use of satellite imagery of much of the .....

At a meeting, when McMurphy was holding a vote to prove that the patients wanted to see the World Series, the Chief voted for it. At first he said that McMurphy controlled his hand. Later on he admitted that it was he who raised it. He even talked to McMurphy one night, and began laughing at the situation at hand. One day when McMurphy and the Chief tried to help another patient who was being taken advantage of by orderlies, they were caught and sentenced to electro-shock therapy (EST). The Chi usually b .....
