.... slingshots and it appeared to be a normal, okay thing to do. They didn’t get in trouble in fact it was apparent that these boys needed some discipline. This family apparently had money and because of their social status, felt it was alright to treat animals and people, that weren’t of their caliber, as if they meant nothing to society. There was a great deal of class conflict between the family that lived on the farm, the Jones’, and the Pilkingtons. The Jones’ owed money to the Pilkingtons and they were taunted throughout the movie about it. On the other hand, the animals had personalities of their own and were holding meetings in the barn. They woul .....

.... Pip, in Great Expectations, talked often about the abuse he received at the hands of his sister, Mrs. Joe Gargery.

For example, while suffering from starvation and malnutrition for a long period of time, Oliver was chosen by the other boys at the orphanage to requ .....

.... out. It took 1,500 men to work on the Merrimac. It was a very slow process because there was not many supplies or tools. The Merrimac needed needed on thousand tons of iron. It was difficult to get some because there was very few iron manufacturers anywhere in the South and there was just one able to supply enough. The Merrimac got a small share of iron and then went to work. It took over a year to get this ship finished. The captain was Franklin Buchnan and he had 300 men for a crew. Most of the men were soldiers recently assigned out of artillery regiments. And there were very few sailors in the South, so most were clueless on where to go or what to do. Whe .....

.... Pharoah, Lafeyette and the other children in the neighborhood. LaJoe liked the idea. However, she then said, "But you know, there are no children here. They've seen too much to be children."

.... Brutus also understands that he is putting it all on the line for his romans, therefore Brutus is an honorable man. Brutus is a scrupulous man, whose virtues endure. "No not an oath, If not by the face of men, the sufferance of our souls, the time's abuse-If these motives be weak, break off betimes, and every men hence to his idle bed; So let high sighted tyranny rage on, till each man drop by lottery" (Shakespeare 399).

.... the war but only because the thought of it not being real was brought up by Finny. Next, we consider the relationship between the various boys at the time.

.... but iconoclastic inventor. He rages against the phoniness of American life: neon, fast food, TV, pollution, crime and phony evangelism - in short, all the old and usual suspects. These may have been timely villains back when Jessica Mitford first wrote about planned obsolescence in the 1950s, but now they're just tired subjects. And, in Paul Schrader's heavy-verbiage screenplay they're just plain annoying. On and on, a Hawaiian-shirted Ford spouts the evils of double-digit inflation and plastic consumerism. He's so fanatic about it, he's uprooted his family from their pastoral home home and lugged them off to a primitive jungle coast. He's filled with .....

.... her to ask, allowing Hawthorne to weave rich detail into The Scarlet Letter without making the story overly narrative. Pearl is the purest embodiment of literary symbolism. She is at times a vehicle for Hawthorne to express the irrational and translucent qualities of Hester and Dimmesdale’s illicit bond at times, and at others a forceful reminder of her mother’s sin. Pearl Prynne is her mother’s most precious possession and her only reason to live, but also a priceless treasure purchased with her life. Pearl’s strange beauty and deeply enigmatic qualities make her the most powerful symbol some feel Hawthorne ever created. The product o .....
