.... been found innocent of his crimes of murder and incest. Though for a modern crowd, it is easy to see that the man he kills is his father and the women he marries is his mother, it is equally easy to understand how they could assume that he could not have know that at all. He is attacked in a desolate mountain pass and kills a man under self-defense. He then marries a woman from a different city. An Athenian of the time could have considered both of these misfortunes. Imperfections come within all men. This brings forth the difference between voluntary and the involuntary crimes. Oedipus is in fact a good man, who was “the unfortunate man who h .....

.... fellow workers even calls him Shakespeare. Tom pays the bills, and still treated like he is a child. The other to people in the house, Tom's sister and mother, do not seem to work at all, other than the fact that Tom's mother sells magazine subscriptions over the phone. The character is played well by, Chris Hendrix. He is fitted in what seems to be typical factory workers' uniforms. The actual acting of Tom is amazing. He looks as if he really gets into the part. In some of the narrative scenes, Tom actually leaves the stage and walks up and down the aisle of the theatre. No matter how unconventional his action, it was very effective. That action bro .....

No, says I, I'd feel bad…" (p.127). Only a few weeks wi .....

.... in his time. They were often described as and compared to little children. “Then one of them asked me a question that showed him to be on the intellectual level of one of our five year old children.”(39) He was very shocked about this weakness that the Eloi possessed. The fact that the Time Traveller lived 800,00 years in the past led him to believe that over time, the generations got less and less intelligent and more involved with having fun compared to the world where he lived. The Time Traveller also realized that the Eloi were very dependent on other people for many of there resources. He mentioned that the Eloi had houses and clothing but he didn’t see a .....

.... plainness even in her diction. In a poem called “Upon the Burning of our House, July 10, 1666,” Bradstreet is able to express a tender sentiment without being sentimental as a result of her simplistic word choice. Religious ideas also surface as common themes. Bradstreet makes it clear that material and earthly possessions have no true worth, and for this reason, one should not become attached to them. On the contrary, Knight’s writing reflects the flair and care-free attitude of the independent woman that she was. Her narrative format allows her to comment and pass judgment on any of various things she encountered. She was a keen social observer a .....
