.... and negative. While men seem to be the ones, who make Celie’s life tough, women are the ones who give her the support she needs. For the major part of her youth she had to struggle to survive; she had to have a lot of strength and character to stay alive and to get a better life that she had at the end. Celie sees herself ugly and stupid. The reason for this is because her father and later her husband told her so. Celie had to leave school because her father raped her and got her pregnant. This brought a lot of pain and emotional downfall but in spite of this with a great help of her younger sister Nettie, Celie tried her best to learn what she missed .....

.... of money when making beautiful cage. In the story, he was accustomed to making and creating cage since childhood. So when Pepe ordered a cage, he could make small cage just quickly rather than create big and beautiful cage for two weeks; ( p 381, ll 45~50). Also, if he was interested in earning the money, he would not even start to work on the cage only by commission of the little boy because he couldn¡¯t be sure whether he can get money or not. However, was a artist rather than a common carpenter. What he really wanted as making the cage was to make the little boy happier. Secondly, he felt mean and dirty about rich man¡¯s money. In this story, the ca .....

.... wrote, “The Soldier”, and a patriotic war-supporting poem. Each man wrote a splendid war poem, but each from different spectrums of war. “Everyone Sang” is a two stanza, five-line poem that says so much about the imprisonment of war. The poem was written right after Sassoon’s release from the British army. He is so overjoyed to be released that he compares it too, “…prisoned birds must find in freedom Winging wildly across the white Orchards…” Like many other poets, he is terrified by war and was “filled with such delight” to be out. Sassoon witnessed the brutality on war, which harde .....

.... is oblivious to the sisters' hobby of poisoning old men and burying them in their cellar. There is even a misunderstanding with the sisters themselves, as they see nothing wrong with what they do, and make no attempt to hide it. Yet, the humor of the movie is when their nephew, Mortimer, finds the bodies, and is quite flustered to discover how his aunts treat it with such nonchalance. Humor is also found in the misunderstanding between Mortimer and his Brewster family. Throughout the entire movie, Mortimer finds himself ashamed of his Brewster name. He discovers that his aunts keep twelve bodies in the basement. Mortimer also receives a visit from his lu .....

.... persuasion were used, and if so whom were they trying to persuade. Dr. King begins a section of his speech with a very strong statement. It reads, “It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro.” This statement is most likely directed at the African-American population. It is a statement that is used to give them confidence and excitement. It is a form of Ad Populum, because it is appealing to the supposed prejudices and emotions of a group. They have tried to appeal to the group by using emotional language such as “fatal” and “underestimate”. This paragraph also states that he .....

.... are opposed to the others’ dreams. This opposition creates serious conflict within the Younger household, and specifically among Walter, Beneatha, and Mama. During the course of the play, conflicts between Beneath and her brother Walter are revealed. Walter thinks that his sister should be a mainstream woman and not have great dreams and ambitions for her life. "Who the hell told you you had to be a doctor? If you so crazy ‘bout messing ‘round with sick people - then go be a nurse like other women - or just get married an be quiet" (38). This passage shows that Walter is clearly a chauvinist, and does not believe in his sister’s desire to be a doc .....

.... its ending. I can see why it is an excellent novel, but at the same time it left me with a kind of unpleasant feeling in the back of my mind. I can’t see how an author could write a book with such a short and sudden ending. The last images he leaves the reader with is George and Slim walking off as Curly says “ Now what in the hell is eating them?” thus the book ends on a harsh, cruel note, topped off by the lack of understanding and compassion of an extraordinarily immoral and cruel man. Whatever Steinbeck’s intent for writing such a jarring ending, he leaves the reader with a powerful sense of the world& .....

.... over I could sleep easy because there was no possibility of any of it happening. Oliver Sacks disrupts my childhood understanding of what is plausible and what is not in the real world. In his Book, or a Hat, Sacks compiles a group of stories that appeal to the curiosity and compassion of a young boy through his close look at human experiences in the eyes of science, medicine and new technology. The chapters discussing “Losses” and “Transports” sparked my interest the most. The first story that caught my attention was about the sixty year old Madeline J. who was suffers from being “congenitally blind” and has “cere .....
