.... them. A popular Greek literary form was epic poetry. Like the epic poems of Homer, the Odyssey and the Iliad. The Greeks also wrote a shorter form of poetry. This was called lyric poetry. Lyric poetry is personal feelings instead of great events. One of the greatest contributions of Greek literature was Greek theater. Greek tragic plays are admired today because they deal with issues about how people behave. The Greeks brought styles of comedy that we see today. Greeks enjoyed comedies that made fun of politics, public figures, and social issues. The literature in our country obviously grew out of the Greeks' style of writing. Our alphabet which we ba .....

.... of reasons why tragedy struck, how it could have been prevented, and who is to blame if indeed, anyone is to blame. Leila finds herself doing the same thing. She knows Ona’s suicide (if it was a suicide) was not a result of drug abuse alone nor was it a freak accident but that there were a number of things, which may have caused this to happen. Even more so, time is used as an introspective of Leila. The events that took place are equally responsible for Leila’s present life as they are Ona’s death. Leila’s last comment states it well. “Like the old timer’s photos, Leon’s papers and Grandpa Leong’s lost s, it reminded me to look back, to remember. I .....

.... inability to correctly deal with life and that of Maria is their outward action. Little Chandler shows through his mannerisms his inadequacy while Maria only shows hers through her mindset not making it public. Maria does not generally truly believe herself inadequate. However, through much of her behavior it seems that at times she does. Maria and Little Chandler are very inadequate thereby not allowing themselves to achieve their full potential. This inadequacy is stressed throughout Clay and A Little Cloud and is emphasized by Maria’s and Little Chandler’s very childlike appearances and mannerisms. Maria is described as a  .....

.... Duncan because the witches told him that he will be king, but they did not say how he will become king. For all he knew, Duncan would have choked on his breakfast and died, but he didn't take that chance. Macbeth's selfishness was opitimized when he dealt with Banquo and his son, whom the witches said will be king after Macbeth. He had Banquo murdered, and his son's "absence is no less material" (Shakespeare III.1) to Macbeth. Of course Macbeth wasn't the only one who began his reign of evil with selfishness. Jack, in Lord of the Flies also begins tearing the island apart when he becomes extremely selfish. "I'm not going to play any longer...not with you .....

.... disallows Bianca to be espoused until Katherine is wed, forcing the many suitors to Bianca to find a mate for Katherine in order for them to vie for Bianca's love. Many critics of the play condemn it for the blatant sexist attitude it has toward women but closer examination of the play and the intricacies of its structure reveal that it is not merely a story of how men should 'put women in their place'. The play is, in fact, a comedy about an assertive woman coping with how she is expected to act in the society of the late sixteenth century and of how one must obey the unwritten rules of a society to be accepted in it. Although the play ends with her outwardly .....

.... it have been Zeus or Hector or the mighty Achilles to blame for this horrible death? The intricate story line of The Iliad makes many possible answers available, but only one possibility accurately explains the actions and events that led to this gruesome episode. The only person to blame for the death of mighty Patrocles was himself. First of all, Patrocles was responsible for his own death because he requested his insertion into the battle, fully knowing that the Achaeans were being unmercifully defeated. In Book XVI , Patroclus said, " Send me forth now at the head of the Myrmidon host That I may be a light of hope to the Danaans. .....

.... math came about because of my teacher. From the first day of class I found myself fascinated by my teachers method of teaching, her attitude and the way she treated us the students. I immediately felt a strong bond with her a bond that I had never felt before with any of my other teachers. There was something about Ms. Smith that allowed me to put aside my bases about math and for once in my life look at the subject with a more objective approach. My best friend was also in the same math class that I was in but much to my surprise she on the other hand hated math class. Her dislike of math class was solely based on the fact that she didn't like our math t .....
