.... Mrs. Ross, one must look at their relationship from the perspective of Mrs. Ross. It is her interpretations and ensuing reactions to the tragic events of the novel that reveal the most to the reader about Robert's relationship with her. Mrs. Ross is portrayed as an adamant woman in the beginning of , yet as the story progresses, her firmness is broken by various tragedies. Mrs. Ross found it hard to be intimate with people therefore, she kept many things to herself. She felt that "Being loved was letting others feed from your resource-all you had in life was put in jeopardy" (Findley, 153). Mrs. Ross had mourned for years over the sudden death of her brother a .....

.... the story. In addition to folklore and mythology, Song of Solomon is also rife with the cold, hard facts of reality. Did Milkman actually become airborne or was he merely a man, consistently trying to escape reality? Toni Morrison's, Song of Solomon, was inspired in part, by All God's Chillun Had Wings (Andrews et al 103). According to this folk tale, at one time all Africans could fly. Through transgressions, they lost the ability of flight. On occasion, someone would shake off the weight of their burdens and be able to fly. Only a select few held onto remnants of the memory of flight. According to a legend in Hurston, the transgression, wa .....

.... would never even think of doing something against him. When the thought of murdering Duncan crosses his mind immediately after he finds that he has just been named Thane of Cawdor, he cannot believe he "yield[s] to that suggestion / Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair / And make my seated heart knock at my ribs" (I, iii, 133-35). In scene 5 of act 1, however, his "vaulting ambition" is starting to take over, but partly because of his wife's persuasion. He agrees that they must "catch the nearest way" (17), and kill Duncan that night. On the other hand, as the time for murder comes nearer, he begins giving himself reasons not to murder Duncan: First, as I am h .....

.... many years Kumalo had been peacefully living with his wife and not really giving Absolom a second thought. He wondered why Absolom had not returned letters in quite awhile, but never was really concerned about it. The only reason he journeyed to Johannesburg was because he received a letter saying that Gertrude was sick. Once Kumalo finds his son and realizes that trouble he is in, he does try to help. But it is too late to save Absolom, whose bad lifestyle is established and taken effect on him. Had Kumalo thought to get involved in his son's life earlier, Absolom probably would not be in the trouble he is in now. Kumalo's self-centeredness is clear when he le .....

.... He also feared that people would become so content to have all their diseases cured and their problems eliminated that they would allow their basic freedoms eliminated as well. Brave New World offers a picture of the world as it might become if man allows science to rule him rather than man ruling science. We are all familiar with the debates that are presently underway on the topic of the extraordinary breakthroughs in science, especially on the subject of cloning. People are trying to determine whether these new realities of life will enhance life, or if they will cause the destruction of society and life as we know it. When thinking of progress, .....

.... of Othello's pride and "bombast circumstance" and is angered by the appointment of Cassio, and educated military theoretician of Florence to lieutenant, instead of himself. Although he knows Othello is a proud man, his open and trusting nature in the beginning of the play will be eroded by the conclusion of the plot. As Iago is speaking to Brabantio about Othello, he uses the term "white ewe" to represent Desdemona, and "black ram" when referring to Othello. By using these terms, it shows that he is trying to give a bad impression of Othello when he is speaking to the royal family in Venice, because Othello is a Moor or a Negro. Iago shows his black hatre .....

.... the artists play a significant role in determining the lives of the artists and their topics of writing. In Robert Hayden's "Those Winter Sundays," Hayden writes about his father and the abandonment his family showed him even though he worked so hard to provide for them. Hayden writes, "…cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday blaze. No one ever thanked him" (590). Most artists observe the fact that they did not know of their first loves and do not realize their mistakes with their first loves until they are grown up and are writing about it. It probably provides them with a good topic to start writing about in the first place. The lack of realizatio .....

.... quite effective in maintaining classroom attention and participation, while the other is forced to take numerous breaks in the lecture to allow students to "wake up" and refocus on the lesson. The first instructor, Scott, was obviously quite comfortable and well versed in the material he was presenting. He utilized viewgraphs for the initial introduction to the material, and when possible, made an analogy of the topic and related the information to his personal and professional experiences of over thirty years in the field. This gave the students the opportunity to hear the information in various ways and possibly help the understanding of how it might relat .....
