.... the workers were never paid for half an hours work. This showed that the owners of these plantations were very cheap and, did not care how long people worked as long as the work was done. Finally workers had to work in harsh conditions in fact in the story on of the characters remember it being so cold that once a workers ear fell off. This showed that owners did not care about their workers but were just money hungry. Many workers had hazards to their jobs four examples of this would be; one wool pluckers lost fingers from acid. Second the workers who used knife lost or had hardly any fingers left especially the tumb. Third workers who worked in chilling r .....

.... by a friend or a relative. You and your father were very fortunate to have stuck together. You two were close and would do anything for each other. When your father was beaten, you were scared out of your mind. You didn't know what to do. I think that if you would have defended your father it would have done everybody some good. You should have helped your father out because it was the right thing to do. Your father did so much for you; it was the least you could have done for him. Your father raised you and supported you; without him you wouldn't be what you are today. I would have helped my father out if I were in this situation. Honestly, your dad is th .....

.... heaven, it is green and carefully cared for, its different from the dry brown Arizona countryside they are used to. Alberto Alvaro Ri’os also uses an Arroyo in this story. The arroyo is a river polluted by sewage, to the boys it symbolizes a place for them to rebel and yell words they are not allowed to speak. Also the grinding ball found in the story symbolizes “ perfection”, it symbolizes the boys’ childhood’s. When the boys bury the grinding ball, they bury their childhood along with it. The symbolism Ri’os used in his story illuminated the theme, which is change is unstoppable , and that change is always accompanied by loss. In the story “Miss B .....

.... to speak freely (at least in private) with Antony, and often is used as a person to whom Antony confides in. We see Antony confiding in Enobarbus in Act I, Scene ii, as Antony explains how Cleopatra is "cunning past man's thought" (I.ii.146). In reply to this Enobarbus speaks very freely of his view of Cleopatra, even if what he says is very positive: ...her passions are made of nothing but the finest part of pure love. We cannot call her winds and waters sighs and tears; they are greater storms and tempests than almanacs can report. This cannot be cunning in her; if it be she makes a shower of rain as well as Jove. (I, ii, 147-152) After Antony reveals .....

.... was like the peacocks in her farm, which were out of place in a commoners’ farm. “A large dunghill extended along the buildings; liquid manure oozed from it and, among the hens and turkeys, five or six peacocks, considered luxuries in Caux farmyards, were foraging on top” (Flaubert 37). To escape from this lifestyle, she went to a convent, where she created many of her illusions. She and the other girls would go to an old maid to hear fantastic stories about “love, lovers, mistresses, persecuted women… gentlemen brave as lions, gentle as lambs, impossibly virtuous, always well dressed, who wept copiously” (Flaubert 57). When Emma married Charles, she expect .....

.... of home...towards his empty and desolate station_(32). From the beginning of his trip, he is compared to Kurtz by all of the people that he comes into contact with, and a great deal of his thoughts are of Kurtz. He wonders how he will measure up to the standards that the company set for him, what Kurtz¦s personality is like, and what Kurtz would think of him. The more obsessed he becomes with Kurtz, the more he sets himself up for the horrible reality of what his new idol was truly made of. Upon reaching Kurtz's station, Marlow¦s disillusion begins to set in. He is greeted by an English-speaking Russian whom he takes for a man who on the surface is deceant l .....

.... in and around Europe as he addresses critics and artists. Locke uses tradition to define how Negro Americans have been viewed by white Americans, and by themselves, as he writes his cultural manifesto to America. Elliot finds it important before discussing the Modern artist's responsibility to tradition, to expose certain fallacies that many people hold concerning tradition. He found that most critics did not really use the word "Except in a phrase of censure…. If otherwise… with the implication…. Of some pleasing archaeological reconstruction" (1405). Critics were in effect using tradition only to describe something quaint and archaic. The problem wi .....

.... The fact that Sethe's act is irrational can easily be decided upon. Does Sethe kill her baby girl because she wants to save the baby from slavery or does Sethe end her daughter's life because of a selfish refusal to reenter a life of slavery? By examining the complexities of Sethe's character it can be said that she is a woman who chooses to love her children but not herself. Sethe kills her baby because, in Sethe's mind, her children are the only good and pure part of who she is and must be protected from the cruelty and the "dirtiness" of slavery(Morrison 251). In this respect, her act is that of love for her children. The selfishness of Sethe's act lies i .....
