.... a long time. For example: When I was in middle school I didn’t develop my body as fast as my friends, and the boys would say I looked like a pole. So, from that school year on they called me “Poley”. I hated that nickname, because when I was younger I had a lower self-esteem, and by them calling me “Poley” it got even lower. It wasn’t my fault how I looked, therefore it embarrassed me tremendously. People such as myself are insulted by nicknames. I have a friend who became known as “Brute”, because she was tough and always got into fights with boys and girls. She was extremely insulted by the name, because she was just trying to stick up for herself. Peo .....

.... such powers by writing, "These beauteous forms/Through a long absence, have not been to me/As is a landscape to a blind man’s eye". He wishes he could feel the beautiful powers of the forest more often. Coleridges poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" illustrates Christian redemption and man’s redeemable qualities. Coleridge believes life and poetry both follow a cyclical pattern. The story is about a man’s literal and spiritual journey and how they parallel each other.

.... stronger importance. To use this words we have to have suffering and pleasure, so they would have any real function. "And mutual fear brings peace, Till the selfish loves increase; Then Cruelty knits a snare, And spreads his baits with care." A small draught of fear in our minds, creates respect against the nature that is surrounding us. To look with two eyes instead of one, we can maintain the peace and harmony and observe it for what it is. Only when we start to watch the nature from an internal perspective, based on own needs, it safety is in real threat. This frightening development can then arise in pure cruelty and its thoughts become actio .....

She once was a slave to her step-father and later on her husband, but eventually found her own freedom and peace of mind through Shug Avery and other influential women was a fiercely independent woman from the start. She made her own decision .....

.... is merely fluid prejudice.” There are many other instances in which Clemens uses prejudice as a foundation for the entertainment of his writings such as this quote he said about foreigners in The Innocents Abroad: “They spell it Vinci and pronounce it Vinchy; foreigners always spell better than they pronounce.” Even in the opening paragraph of Finn Clemens states, “Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.” There were many groups that Clemens contrasted in Finn. The interaction of these different social group .....
