.... speaking father, dead since I was nine came from some manic-depressive hamlet in the Prussia." (Sylvia Plath page 27.) Esther's father's death had showed that she was in need of a father figure for love, support and to act as a model for her life. Esther grew up with only the one influence of a parent, her mother. Often times the loss of a friendship can be a great loss of support and confidence within our lives because we can lose them forever. This is demonstrated when Buddy Willard Esther's boyfriend break up. "He told me that his annual fall chest x-ray showed he had caught tuberculosis...in the Adirondacks" (Sylvia Plath pg. 58.) Buddy and Esther b .....

.... a helpless girl against a strong, short-tempered man. Raskolnikov engages in a fist fight with the man out of the kindness of his heart. After helping her, he was "at that moment stung" and questioned his actions. "Why did I go meddling in all that! Who am I to help anyone? Do I have any right to help? Let them all gobble each other alive - what is it to me?" Clearly this illustrates the imbalance acting out inside of him. This imbalance causes Raskolnikov to ostracize his emotional outbursts. The clash between the two sides helps Raskolnikov commit the murders. His intellectual, emotionless side was able to murder without remorse. It should be noted .....

.... from that era. It was not until the cylindrical object, for that is what the scientists now knew what it was, entered the Earth’s atmosphere that most humans felt the fear of the unknown. When the first object had landed, many noises were heard emanating from within. As time went on the noises gradually faded to nothing and many people felt relief that whatever was living inside, was now dead. It was not until the lid started unscrewing that humans became frantic. "It’s a-movin’, a-screwin’ and a screwin’ out. I don’t like it. I’m a-goin’ ‘ome, I am." (Wells 11) The lid fell off, and a snake-like tentacle emerged from the darkness, firing the .....

.... legendary ancestor ( Henry James). As a young child, Henry James had only private tutors and never gained any strict education. The year Henry James turned twelve years old his family moved to Switzerland and later to France and Germany. After the completion of his family’s travels, Henry James returned to America and enrolled in Harvard law school for a while. He withdrew soon after his enrollment because he desired to pursue writing rather than an education. His father’s leisurely lifestyle as a traveler and writer allowed Henry James to meet people like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Bronson Alcott. His youthful years in Europe left a great impression. Later in h .....

.... that I was a transcendentalist. That would have been the shortest way of telling them that they would not understand my explanations" (H. D. Thoreau). He believed in the oneness of individual souls with nature and with God, which gave dignity and importance to human activity and made possible a belief in the power to effect social change in harmony with God's purposes (Richardson 81). Thoreau tore the veil of conventional thought away from societies clouded eyes. Born on a calm, mid-summer night of 1817 to a family of neither wealth nor importance, Thoreau became exposed to the reality of life at a relatively young age. His father made pencils in a small shop, .....

.... The Jets wouldn't let the PR's come on their turf, such as Doc's store. The PR's were not wanted in the U.S. and they were given a hard time. The American's were prejudiced of the Puerto Ricans, so they did cruel things to them. Another act of prejudice in was the Jets having prejudice against Anybody's joining their gang. They told her to go wear a dress, she wittily replied that she had scabby knees. She told them that she lurks in the shadows and even provided the Jets with important information. She had a haircut like a boy's and wore boy clothes. This could be a prejudice beyond having a girl in a gang, it could be that they have a prejudice a .....

.... the major responsibility of management can be seen as the objective of attaining and achieving particular goals set by the organisation. Nevertheless management remains a complex and discursive subject. Despite the widespread use of the term there are certain ways trying to find a proper definition. One of these approaches which is also very much favoured by classical writers, is to analyse the nature of management and to search for common features applicable for a majority of managers in businesses. Just for the only purpose to find out and determine why managers are really needed in organisations. One of the very first and probably one of the most quoted c .....

.... neither Joe nor Pip to speak their minds. Pip narrates that "Joe Gergary and I(Pip) were brought up by hand"(pg. 8, chpt ). Although unintentional, Mrs. Joe is, in a way, holding both Pip and Joe on an equal level, refusing to hear either one of them, therefor not discriminating against Pip because of age. Although through her own naivete, Mrs. Joe becomes a somewhat fair character Dickens's writes about a dinner party being held at Mrs. Joe's house(chapter 4) where Pip says "I was not allowed to speak"(pg.25) when at a table surrounded by adults. The period in which this is written, assumes that one must become old before one has an opinion. I fe .....
