.... categories. First are themes used in a traditional vein, written about classical ideas and told in a folkloric fashion. Second are themes employed in a contemporary tone, about modern concepts and written in a more current style. Last are themes that are either used frequently in both contemporary and traditional ways, or transcend the division of contemporary/traditional and form their own categories. One of the main traditional themes that Hunter uses is the gambling theme. The poems "Candyman" and "Loser" exemplify this motif the best: Come on boys and gamble Roll those laughing bones. Seven come eleven, boys I'll take your money home. --"Cand .....

.... Xiaoping was a "power-hungry" dictator who would do anything to obtain power. I have concluded differently. I believe that Deng Xiaoping was a force of good. He has devoted his entire life to helping his country, China. Before the Communist began to revolt, the Nationalists were doing a poor job of running the country and did not keep their promise for land reform. Deng Xiaoping believed that a Communist government would do a better job of running the country. During the Nationalist- Communist Civil War, Deng greatly influenced the outcome in favor of the Communists by using effective military strategy. Deng Xiaoping was appointed Politcom .....

.... old longing resurfacing, and Robinson took sail aboard another ship Alas, the ill-fated vessel was captured by Turkish pirates. Crusoe managed to avoid capture and made off in a small craft. Together, he and a young companion navigated along the coast of Africa, where they were pursued by both wild beasts and natives. A Portuguese ship finally rescued them and they sailed for Brazil. In the new land Crusoe established a prosperous sugar plantation. But again a feeling of lonely dissatisfaction overcame him: "I lived just like a man cast away upon some desolate island, that had nobody there but himself." Then came an offer from some planters for C .....

.... has "the sole power of impeachment," that is, the bringing charges. The Senate has "the power to try all impeachment’s." A two-thirds vote is required in the Senate for conviction. When the president is to be tried, the chief justice of the United States presides. A conviction in an impeachment proceeding results only in removal from office and disqualification to hold "any office or honor, trust, or profit under the United States."

.... and go to church. When more and more Visions had come it started coming clearer to her and when she saw Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret her duty was clear, she was the chosen one to crown Charles the VII. 2 Since France had been fighting with England in what was called the Hundred Years' War, much of Northern France was captured by the English, including Reims where the coronation for kings had been held for over centuries before him. Since Reims was captured, Charles the VII, who had not yet been crowned; was still called the Dauphin.

.... scientists do with all their intricate tools. I, like you, gave up luxuries at a point in my life in order to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not , when I came to die, to discover that I had not lived. Following the advice of my friend Emerson, I, like you, went out and experienced nature as a transparent eyeball, observing as much as I could. I noticed the Pickerel under the ice in the pond, I never pondered the possibility of the different kinds of Pickerel to be originated from the same species. When you were observing nature in the Galapagos Islands, you saw .....

.... not to wonder about the opportunity cost, what will be missed out on. There is a strong sense of regret before the choice is even made and it lies in the knowledge that in one lifetime, it is impossible to travel down every path. In an attempt to make a decision, the traveler "looks down one as far as I could". The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead. It is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and decides where he is going. "Then to .....

.... was elected to a committee to draft a declaration of independence. This committee asked Jefferson to write the paper, and he agreed. The document was a direct statement to King George III of the colonies' demand for independence. The declaration recounted the grievances of the colonies against the British crown and declared the colonies to be free and independent states. Since solely Jefferson wrote it, the declaration held the essence of his ideals, and he spent the rest of his life applying its principles to the new American government. Jefferson's chief accomplishment as president was the Louisiana Purchase. This land which once belo .....

.... opposed violence. Annie had to promise never to use the gun on someone. Annie was well known in Cincinnati for her cleanly shot birds. People who ate the birds did not have to worry about chipping a tooth on scattered bird shot. A restaraunt owner set up a shooting match with the well known sharpshooter, Frank Butler. Annie shot all 25 birds while Frank shot only 24. Later, Frank would say that he lost two things to Annie that day: the match and his heart. Annie and Frank went on the road as a team.
