.... sea liner competitors in Britain during this era were the Cunard Lines and the White Star Lines. Both of these companies were striving to become the world leader in sea vessel manufacturing. One summer night in 1907, the managing director of the White Star Line, J. Bruce Ismay, met at the home of Lord James Pirrie, a partner in the firm of Harland and Wolff, the giant Belfast shipbuilder that built all the White Star vessels. They met to discuss the plans for two very large ships, the Olympic and the Titanic. The two ships were almost identical in size, but the Titanic was some 1,000 gross tons larger, due to the more extensive and elaborate interior f .....

.... wait of being locked in a dark cell, the door opens. A man who introduces himself as Captain Nemo, an obvious leader and a man of stature, claims to have built the submersible in order to travel the world without ever having to step back on the land which he so greatly rejects. Reflection on the qualities of leadership reveals how Captain Nemo’s character enabled him to do exactly this. It is soon apparent that Captain Nemo a man of keen intellect. His knowledge of the sea, the many languages he speaks, and the education he has given his men all contribute the success of his ship’s goal, to explore. Examples of his intelligence are rampant t .....

.... poem begins simple enough, "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood," as the speaker sees two roads before him and obviously he can't travel both. He tries to consider the consequences as he "looked down one as far as I could". But each road "bent in the undergrowth" as where each road lead to is not obvious. It's unclear to him what the consequences would be if he chooses either road. The second stanza shows the difficulty of making choices. The speaker tries to distinguish one road from another as he describes one road as "having perhaps the better claim". Here he tries to make an excuse for choosing this road over the other - "because it was grassy and want .....

.... selfish obsessions because it is true that there does exist many who are grateful for the gifts and graces that they are lucky enough to receive. On the other hand, there are those who are bent on there own gains and are encompassed by the life-devouring greed. For example, sports were originally meant to be fun, and athletes were meant to be competitors in a game, not the money hungry animals many of them have become. They have so much money, most even making multiple millions of dollars a year. They should be happy with that, but of course they are not. If one guy makes a little more another wants to top that and so on this cycle continues to the astrono .....

.... sets a sad tone for the rest of the novel. If TJ weren’t convicted, a majority of the rest of the book would deal with threats against TJ and how he deals with them. Maybe TJ would even get into more trouble with RW and Melvin. When Dube organizes a union with Mr. Wheeler and John Moses, they all came to Mr. Logan for help. They asked him if he could sign up all of the people in his area. Their goal is to get plantation workers 50 cents from sunup to sundown. It looked like Mr. Logan would go along with it until Mr. Wheeler blurts out that it would be a white and black union. Mr. Logan shows some resistance and never really lets Mr. Wheeler know if h .....

.... of the contributive factors towards the downfall of Salem is revenge. Elizabeth’s need to be vengeful towards Abigail sprouts from the affair Abigail and Elizabeth’s husband, John Proctor. When the topic of Abigail is comes up, Elizabeth remarks that she should be, “… ripped from the earth” (Miller 76). She goes further by telling John Proctor to, “… go and tell her she’s a whore” (62). Never acting upon her rage, Elizabeth only dismisses Abigail from her house. Abigail, on the other hand, wants Elizabeth Proctor to die. Abigail desires to do away with Elizabeth so that she can have her husband, John Proctor. Hysterically, Betty Proctor screams t .....

.... the wrong decisions in her life. First of all, Lady Capulet is Juliet’s mother. A mother is suppose to be close to her daughter, and is the person who knows and understands Juliet the most. But in this case her mother is the first person to let her down. For example, when Lord Capulet made the decision in act three scene 5 that Juliet should marry Paris, her mother stood up for that decision even though she knew that Juliet didn't want to marry Paris. I think her mother should of been on Juliet’s side, because she's her mother and she has experience in marriage and should know marrying someone you do not like is not a good idea. Also, anothe .....

.... in some way. "His whole face was a mask, [Connie] thought wildly, tanned down onto his throat but then running out as if he had plastered make-up on his face but had forgotten about his throat" (596). This indicates that Friend is not of human race, and he is using the mask to cover his face and shield his true identity from Connie. Also, Arnold's boots "must have been stuffed with something so that he would seem taller" (596-7). The fact that Friend is short could mean he is an elf or dwarf-like creature, or it could merely mean that he is trying to be something he definitely is not. Besides physical characteristics, the devilish nature of Friend is depict .....
