.... rural area with the woman standing at the bank of a river. She is vividly remembering her childhood and the many times that she has crossed this river, stone by stone. The last line in the opening paragraph, " But after that it was easy and soon she was standing on ." (358), makes the reader aware that she is still a very able lady at her age. When the woman crosses the river she begins her jaunt to the house she once lived in. There are a few lines in the story that clue the reader in that it has been a very long time since she has been back here. She explains, " The road was much wider than it used to be but the work had been done carelessly (3 .....

.... The men could have made an escape without incident but Odysseus mocked Polyphemus and shouted out his real name, when before Odysseus had told him that his name was "Noman". With this new information Polyphemus prays to his father Poseidon to have Odysseus and his men punished. Having angered Poseidon, they must wander throughout the sea slowly dying one by one. Odysseus learns that bragging can have ill effects and uses this knowledge on the island of the Phaecians and Ithaca when he does not openly boast of his deeds and his journeys. Odysseus also learns to pay close attention to the instructions of the gods, or he might have to face .....

.... wedding, new clothes, a rifle, and schooling for his son…" (Warren 28). From these wants and needs, Kino symbolizes "clearly good and innocent" (McCarthy 108), but Kino changes in his desperate attempt to bring about wealthy reforms. Even his conscience, which is symbolized by the music in Kino's head, tries to warn him about his greed. This ‘music' symbolizes ones own conscience in the real world. By the end of this relentless parable, the reader sees the irony in the fact that even a good person can be led astray by his feeling of inner responsibility to provide for his family (Warren 128). Kino's actions, which are being motivated to ra .....

.... thousand years. Achebe uses this poems basic idea by creating the story of Okonkwo who lives in a chaotic and barbaric world. To outsiders who are observing Okonkwo’s people, they may certainly seem uncivilized in many ways. Achebe symbolizes the end of this anarchy in Okonkwo’s society by the introduction of Christian missionaries who pacify the Ibo people and ultimately cause the death of Okonkwo. I believe Okonkwo is the last and final source of chaos that is finally muted to bring civility to the people. The Ibo people live a very peaceful but ignorant life. At first glance their lifestyle may seem to be normal but when examining the d .....

.... are going to fight for her, she reacts with sorrow and regret. "These words pierced Helen to the heart. She longed for her husband of the old days, for home and family.

He feels sorry for her and tries to take her mind off of her situation by asking her to point out members of the Achaian army.

.... fishmeal storage building from Lee Chong. Mack and the boys transform it into their home, the Palace Flophouse. Doc ran Western Biological, a company that supplied animals for educational purposes, like dissection. He would go down to the tidepools and collect all sorts of critters like squid, octopus, and sea cucumbers. When Doc had to leave for La Jolla on a collecting trip, Mack and the boys decided to give him a surprise party. They bought beer, plenty of Old Tennis Shoes (Old Tennessee, a blended whiskey). The whole town was going to be there, and in the minds of Mack and the boys, it was going to be a grand party. However, the party st .....

.... the regent to the underaged king. D’Orleans, considered philosophically liberal by some, caused many problems for Voltaire, including his imprisonments in the Bastille. The first was from May 16, 1717 to April 11, 1718, the second was in 1726. After his first confinment Francois Marie Arouet adopter the name Voltaire, which later became synonymous for horatian sarcasm towards the aristocracy of France, whether it was truly his work or not. This is how Voltaire once again found himself in the Bastille. Falsely accused of the authorship of a politically abrasive poem, he was imprisoned. Once released Voltaire was forced to travel to England, but ret .....

.... (89) person who has a talent for "making love in secret" (89). His talent is illustrated when he turns his eye to the Carpenter's wife and makes love with her. The situation is very similar to "The Reeve's Tale." In that tale the Miller lets John and Alan, two scholars, who lost their horse from the Miller's own doing, stay at his house. However, since the two boys are "Headstrong…and eager for a joke" (110), Alan proceeds to rape the Miller's daughter, while John sleeps with the Miller's wife. It is apparent that these situations are very similar, in that the scholars are having adulterous sexual intercourse with both the Carpenter's and the Mille .....

.... is a sacred composition set to words from the Bible. This may have significance with the title that Ayn Rand has given the book by paralleling the story of Prometheus and Gaea to that of Adam and Eve. In the bible, Adam and Eve were given everything that they needed by God with the one exception of not to eat from a specific tree. They were told by the devil that this tree was the tree of knowledge and to eat of it would give them knowledge equal to God’s. In , Prometheus and Gaea are told that they have everything that they will ever need or desire by the council. They are forbidden to gain knowledge that is not permitted by the council bu .....
