.... open-minded, and too in love with a married man, caused her to become a scandal. Also, the fact that from all the babies she gave birth to, only one survived, made the impression of her not being the perfect parent. Mary Shelley was none other but the mother of death itself, which influenced her novel. “Frankenstein is indeed a birth myth , but one in which the parent who brought death into the world, and all our woe, is not a woman but a man who pushed the masculine prerogative past the limits of nature , creating life not through the female body, but in a laboratory� (220, Kate Ellis). In the novel, Shelley turned her ideas around, c .....

.... to communicate with Hagar about religion. Lees was a member of a religious group known as the Redeemer's Advocates, a name that will be representative of his role in Hagar's redemption with herself. Like Hagar, Lees has no actual faith in religion, and says that "I kind of mislaid it and when I went to look for it, it wasn't there". Lees' religion was the cause of his greatest loss, when his son died in a house fire while Murray and Lou Lees were at the Tabernacle. This loss created a permanent distrust in religion for Murray Lees, something Hagar also has. The loss of a child reminds Hagar of the loss of her son, John, which allows her to trust Lees' .....

.... be either forced or avoidable. It is forced when we have to choose one of two choices and we cannot escape from it by not making a decision. It is an avoidable option when we can escape from choosing between them. An option is also either momentous or trivial. A momentous option means the individual is in the position to choose or act on something when it is the person’s only opportunity to do so. It is trivial when what the person has decided on will not have a great effect on the person if there were or were not any losses from the decision. It is trivial when it does not matter whether something is decided now or later or if the decision is chan .....

.... old and water proof. It was a family heirloom. Kino's pride in the boat was acceptable because not only is it an heirloom, it represents his living, and it is part of the family. 3. Juana is dissatisfied by her own method because it was free and lacked the doctor's authority. Juana's reaction to the appearance of the scorpion was fear for her first born. Then, after the sting, she wanted to take Coyotito to the doctor. He would not treat it. This demonstrated not only a war between culture's, but a war between social classes. If the baby were white or the parents well paid, but lacking immediate money, the doctor would have probably treated it. 4 .....

In the same act, the reader is told that Macbeth is brave because of his "disdaining Fortune." In addition to his quality of courage, Macbeth is also a gentle man. Demonstrating his love and devotion for his wife, Macbeth refers to her as "his dearest partne .....

.... father of the child was in that very group of officals. She was then sentenced to wear the scarlet letter "A", showing her guilt "externally". Unable to take it off, she was forced to show her guilt to the entire settlement. However, the Reverend Dimmesdale suffered "internally", with a scarlet letter of his own engraved in his mind, and on his chest as well. He felt like he betrayed God, and beat himself in a frenzy to prove his wrongdoing. He often questioned wheather his authority was true or not. Roger Chillingworth suffered the least, because he only failed to reveal the secret that he knew, the father of the child who Hester Prynne was forced to .....

.... on papyrus scrolls and it is theorized that these scrolls each told a chapter in Homers plays. The modern version of The Odyssey is a combination of all these scrolls that could have existed as separate stories about Odysseus’ travels, his encounters, and how he obtained his status as a hero. Ancient Greece has always been an interest of mine. In 6th grade a teacher that I had know for my whole schooling showed a movie every week. One week we watched “Jason and the Argonaughts”. Ever since then I could never get enough Greek mythology. In freshman year of high school we read the annotated text book version of The Odyss .....
