.... comfort becomes a necessity and a bond forms between the owner and his luxury. Finally, the last step develops between him and the necessity. The person becomes totally dependent upon his luxury and nothing else matters. Because people often become so dependent upon luxuries, bad things can happen. The luxury becomes more important than friends and sometimes even family members. An unfavorable reputation develops for this person and sometimes we say that the person's life revolves around his luxuries. Personally, I have been there and experienced this kind of stupor or addiction to a possession of mine. I met Denny Hippchen and Aaron Steinmetz during .....

.... is it because Shakespeare believes that love can be very different for different people? The way in which his characters think about and view love in many different ways means that Shakespeare is not trying to prejudice us to believe that love can only be one thing, he is simply presenting to us many different versions so that the audience can see love in it's many forms and levels of intensity. It is then up to the audience to judge the different characters and their different beliefs themselves. However, Shakespeare does try to influence his audience to think certain things about his characters through their use of language. We see this happening .....

.... heard any other way. Free speech and the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights is the American public in a nutshell. The best part about being an American is the freedom of religion. Our country was started with that idea as the Pilgrims came here to escape the religious persecution in England. Now, there are over 200 different variations of popular religions from around the world. Where else may an individual may “flip-off” another and then write a contemptible letter to the President without a blink of an eye by officials? In other countries, such actions could cause one's life to be lost by sun-up the next day. This is the rationalization of First .....

.... difference between the choreography of the two ballets. Ballet Comique De La Reine of 1581 was choreographed in France while Petipa choreographed Sleeping Beauty of 1890 in Russia. Ballet Comique De La Reine was held by the actual real French court while Sleeping Beauty was an imitation. Since Sleeping Beauty was supposed to resemble the court life of the Renaissance/Baroque period, the cast were only performers who played the roles of royalty. Ballet Comique De La Reine was done in 1581 when ballets were participatory. The performers interacted with the audience(including royalty). When Petipa choreographed Sleeping Beauty, the performers had become s .....

.... the more typical actions of a god. After Paris judged Aphrodite the fairest over herself and after a young Trojan boy replaced her daughter Hebe as cupbearer to the gods, she was resentful toward Troy. So she sided with the Greeks and would stop at no length to express her will. Scheming and manipulating, she even dared to trick Zeus. Along with Athena, she is seen as the chief divine aid to the Greeks. Being the god of the sea, Poseidon was another strong supporter of the ocean-faring Greeks. Whenever Zeus turned his back, he tried to help the Greeks in the fight. He felt that he was somewhat Zeus's equal as his brother, but recognizing Zeus's authority .....

.... of controlled leaks, meticulously worded briefs, and the outright avoidance of certain questions allows the White House to control the scope and content of the stories that make it to the front page and the nightly network news. As Kurtz makes clear, the president and First Lady are convinced that the media are out to get them, while the journalists covering the White House are constantly frustrated at the stonewalling and the lack of cooperation they encounter while trying to do their jobs. In the middle is the White House press secretary Mike McCurry, a master at defusing volatile situations and walking the fine line with the press. Though less para .....

.... to dissuade the notion of speaking to his audience as the literary elite. He says he is speaking to the audience as “consumers” (134). He tries to overcome the notion that the studying of literature is not a necessary part of the process of learning to read and write. He stresses the importance of the imagination and it’s appearance in our reality. He states: The fundamental job of the imagination in ordinary life, then, is to produce, out of the society we have to live in, a vision of the society we want to live in. (140) He provides several examples to advance his claim. The cliché receives much of his attention. He emphases that not only does Communism re .....

.... Ernest's mother, considered herself pure and proper. She was a dreamer who was upset at anything which disturbed her perception of the world as beautiful. She hated dirty diapers, upset stomachs, and cleaning house; they were not fit for a lady. She taught her children to always act with decorum. She adored the singing of the birds and the smell of flowers. Her children were expected to behave properly and to please her, always. Mrs. Hemingway treated Ernest, when he was a small boy, as if he were a female baby doll and she dressed him accordingly. This arrangement was alright until Ernest got to the age when he wanted to be a "gun-toting Pawnee Bill". .....
