.... the story doesn't go into as much detail about the surroundings. Benét focuses more about Jabez Stone's farm and his bad luck, like when he plants corn, he gets borers. The only real detail he gives about the surroundings is that he lives on the Cross Corners of New Hampshire and that he's on a farm. The story doesn't give much description on what his house looks like or the scenery. Also, in “The Devil and Daniel Webster” it tells the story at a quicker pace. Jabez meets the Devil and makes a deal before the story and plot really develop very much. In the “Devil and Tom Walker” the story goes into a lot of details about how his house is raggedy, ugly, and tra .....

.... and extreme ideas that rebut the system. In history, the results of individualism has been spread world wide. Important leaders, thinkers, and philosophers with radical ideas in virgin areas of research were making significant finds rapidly. Yet progress was slowed by short-sighted men who failed to see greatness. Aberham Lincoln was a revolutionary in his time with his views on slavery and forgiveness of the South. Yet his death was the result of one man's refusal to accept what was once a proud and rich land reduced to tatters- left to ruin because of her failure to accept civil reform. Herman Melville's work in Moby Dick was considered a classic, yet Melv .....

.... definitely takes the position of the lower class of American society as this time in history, and even brings up the topic of racism and sexism in the recall of the event. It seems that the ships crew and the lower class passengers were the most courageous in the eventful two and half hours it took for the ship to totally go under. He provides quotes from the various selections, one being the statistics of death, by class. These statistics show that, in actuality, more of the upper class passengers survived than the lower classes (by both percentage, and total people). Updike also examines, in depth, the cultural effect of the sinking of the Titanic. The .....

.... then arrested the people on the list and charged them for being witches. If the people charged didn't admit to being witches, they were hung, but if they admitted they would only spend a little time in jail. The leader of the girls is Abby, and she lusts for John Proctor. After Abby was caught in the woods, she tells John Proctor that the whole thing is an act and no witch craft has taken place. John Proctor knows this as the witch trials get started, but doesn't go into to Salem to stop them because he fears that Abby will charge lechery on him. The witch trials are a crucible for those who are accused, while John Proctor has his own Crucible to deal with .....

.... years. This Jewish faith initiated hope and initiative. It can also be seen that factors other than Ellis Jewish faith enabled her to survival throughout her ordeal. This statement is evident in both situations, when Ellis life was spared by the German soldier due to her beautiful hair as well as when she admitted that "If mother were to died, I won't be able to maintain my will to survive". Without Ellis continual enthusiasm towards the observance of Jewish festivals, she would have had absolutely nothing to look forward to and in-turn it would have eventuated in a loss of faith and maybe even death. Without a doubt, this characteristic of hers was i .....

.... days. A man had to have money to marry a rich girl, that or a noble name. Petruchio doesn’t seem to have either but hides it well. Baptista is so baffled by the fact that a man wants to marry his eldest daughter that he doesn’t really make sure Petruchio is wealthy as he does for Lucentio (who is really Tranio in disguise). Kate is angry at first because she has to wed Petruchio, a rude, overbearing man that will do anything to make her wrong. Eventually she realizes he is playing a mind game with her. If she does what he says and agrees with him, even if she knows he’s wrong, she will get what she wants, a loving husband, a nice home, nice clothes, food and a .....

.... he could become King of Scotland. In an instant the witches had let loose Macbeth’s over ambitious nature for imperial power. (An aside in I.iii.127-130 is a perfect example) Now that Macbeth’s uncontrollable desire to become king had surfaced, he became solely focused on obtaining this goal. This included the murder of King Duncan. Lady Macbeth, wanting to be queen of Scotland, provided her husband with a plan to assassinate King Duncan. At first Macbeth hesitated to murder Duncan. He was afraid of the aftereffects and didn’t deem it right to kill a king who was just and of such high stature. Unfortunately for Duncan, Macbeth’s .....

.... a black cat and constantly casting spells on others. Today we still view witches as being evil, besides the exception of moral witches, such as Glenda in the Wizard of Oz. Werewolves are people who can alter their body. They are killers who paralyze and then eat people for survival. It has been said that there was once a beast who ate all of the little children in France. Many stories began of werewolves by making little children believe that evil was something that could be prevented by your own actions. From such a vivid and evil picture that people have created of such creatures, people have come to fear and believe other fictional stories about werew .....
