.... aspects of Emily’s childhood. First she talks about sending Emily to live with her relatives as a toddler. Next she describes sending Emily to a convalescent home as a young child. The mother ultimately feels guilty for the actions she took to ensure a better life for her daughter. The first decision that Emily’s mother had to make was to ship Emily off to stay with relatives. At this point Emily was a mere eight months old. Her mother made this decision so that she could work and save money for their future. Emily came back to her mother when she was two "all baby loveliness gone" (Olsen, 579). At this time in the story, the reader is able to see .....

.... very caring and loves animals; being with animals is "one of [his] principal sources of pleasure" (346). The narrator’s favorite pet is his large entirely black cat named Pluto. The narrator’s wife "made frequent allusion[s] to the ancient popular notion" that black cats were associated with bad luck, evil, witches, and the devil. Poe’s protagonist does not accept this superstition. People still associate black cats with bad luck, evil, witches, and the devil, so this foreshadows that something bad will happen in the story. The cat’s name, Pluto, increases the assumption that the narrator will have bad luck. In Greek mythology, Pluto .....

.... no winter ever quite touches, divided from them now by the narrow bottleneck of the most recent decade of years." The first perspective is that of Homer and the modern generation. The second is that of the older members of the Board of Aldermen and of the confederate soldiers. Emily holds the second view as well, except that for her there is no bottleneck dividing her from the meadow of the past. Faulkner begins the story with Miss Emily's funeral, where the men see her as a "fallen monument" and the women are anxious to see the inside of her house. He gives us a picture of a woman who is frail because she has "fallen," yet as important and symbolic as a "mon .....

.... wearer with banters from all over. The flashy illuminating polyester fabric gleams with a lust of shiny plastic coating. The tie is milky colored all around and at the center a cherry colored circle. However, as creative as it may seem, the tie is indifferent to any color other than ivory or ebony. Thus, a snow- white suit with beaming bleach-white colored shoes is necessary in order to pair with this particular tie. History has taught that fashion is something that relates to the time period. As the people evolve from the seventies they realize that clothes could not be outrageous or it would decease as a fad. This bland tie fits very well with .....

.... strength usually concerns muscular shape and build, in the novel Gilgamesh, it is not used in that particular way. This strength concerns the power in a kingdom. Gilgamesh is king of Uruk, a section of ancient Babylonia. He "was a tyrant to his people" and "demanded the privilege of sleeping with their brides". At times he could be even crueler that that by "pushing his people half to death with work". This type of strength derives from his reign. The author used words such as 'demanding' and 'pushing' to bring on a negative, basically condescending tone. Although Gilgamesh portrayed strength in a powerful way, Beowulf used it in the literal sense .....

.... the county home in an attempt to find a place for Flo to live, "Rose spoke of the view and the pleasant rooms. Flo looked angry; her face darkened and she stuck out her lip. Rose handed her a mobile she had bought for 50 cents in the County Home crafts centre.... Stick it up your arse, said Flo" (Oates 151). The reader sees no affection between the two. In fact, the tone of the story illustrates a lack of acceptance and even disappointment by Flo and shows that there has always been a distance between the two. The title is derived from a patient Rose met at the nursing home whose only communication was spelling words. After meeting this patient, Rose dream .....

.... Circle Award in the same year. Although Williams's first professionally produced play, Battle of Angels, closed in 1940 because of poor reviews1 and a censorship controversy (Roudane xvii), his early amateur productions of Candles to the Sun and Fugitive Kind were well received by audiences in St. Louis. By 1945 he had completed and opened on Broadway The Glass Menagerie, which won that year's New York Critics Circle, Donaldson, and Sidney Howard Memorial awards. Before his death in 1983, Williams accumulated four New York Drama Critics Awards; three Donaldson Awards; a Tony Award for his 1951 screenplay, The Rose Tattoo; a New York Film Critics Award for .....

.... It reflects the author's opinion that it doesn’t matter who you are, how rich or poor you are, educated or not, we are all part of civilization and we all have something to contribute. If a human being loses an arm or a leg he is less capable of functioning within his normal bounds therefore affecting the whole body. The same goes if an individual perishes, he is no longer able to contribute to the whole and society suffers. I actually found this piece kind of ironic, John Donne speaks of togetherness yet probably about the same time Europeans were discovering other parts of the world and exploiting and killing the inhabitants of these lands. Chief Dan .....
