.... of God to sustain herself during her period of captivity. During her captivity she depended upon a Bible obtained from an Indian's plunder for spiritual survival. "The Lord hereby would make us the more.... and to see that our help is always in Him" (Rowlandson, 34). Puritans believed themselves to be the chosen people of God. Rowlandson believed that God was punishing his people for breaking their special covenant. She described the relationship between the Indians and the colonists as one dealt with by God. As she surveyed her home after the attack by the Indians, she credited the destruction not to the Indians, but to God, when she quoted "Come .....

.... play a minor role in the story. This is not to say that they are insignificant but they help to convey the feelings and emotions that surround the major characters rather than their own. Characters like Curley's wife and Crooks are unmistakably lonely, but they show how their lonliness is the opposite of the two main characters, George and Lennie. Crooks actually states that George and Lennie have got each other but he hasn't got anyone. Curley's wife portrays the same message but under different circumstances. There are really no other main characters besides George and Lennie. From reading the novel and watching the film it is clearly evident in mos .....

.... charges Oedipus of the murder, which infuriates him, and also preludes to his “shameful intimacy.” Oedipus then draws upon his solving of the riddle of the Sphinx to undermine the blind prophet, convinced that he, in alliance with Creon, was plotting against him. Creon’s modest rebuttal consisted only of a threat to himself- that if Oedipus’ claim against him were true, then let him not live out the rest of his days. Later, in a conversation with Oedipus, he justifies his denial of the charge that Oedipus had placed against him by illustrating the irrelevance of attempting to dethrone the king. When Jocasta enters, she si .....

.... to be looked down upon� (Dostoevsky 308). Her motivation to plan and give the dinner was a way of dealing with her poverty level by proving to others she could entertain others, being from an “aristocratic� family. Katerina’s idea of a perfect dinner was spoiled when she saw the guest that actually arrived. No one had replied to the invitations—which reflects the bad manners of the people—but Katerina expected for “everyone� to be present. Only the poorest and most insignificant people came to the dinner, while the more respectable people stayed away. This reality embodies the way society treats impoverished people. It is .....

.... believes that he is to old for adventure and feels that he has lost his chance for love. He expresses this by saying, I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers and walk upon the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they will sing to me (120-125). The mermaid being his love which might reject him if he so dares to ask the question. Prufrock is a procrastinator and the older he gets, the less likely he will propose his love.

He was determined to make a better life for himself by getting an education and preparing himself to go to college. The fact that he lived in North Africa, he wrote lots of fiction books, dealing with moral problems of universal importance. 1.

.... the Widow Douglas, he first begins to realize what the meaning of restriction is. Huckleberry is forced to go to school, church, do his studies, keep his room clean, brush his teeth, and even go to bed at a certain hour. Huckleberry knew when Widow Douglas spoke he had better listen, or there would be consequences. He said, “When the Widow rung a bell for supper, and you had to come on time. When you got to the table you couldn’t go right to eating, but you had to wait for the Widow to tuck down her head and grumble a little over the vicuals...� Huck actually got used to living that way, and liked it for a while. Until one day he said, †.....

Because their personalities differ so much it would allow them to be the best of friends or the worst of enemies. In this paper I intend to prove that Gene’s personality was gradually changed during the story by Phineas’ more outgoing personality. While reading this story I was under the impression that Gene was a very smart person. Then once he began to spend time with Finny, the two boy’s personalities started to combine. Usually when this happened the boys did things that were .....

.... are being used to battle against pests to protect humans and other living animals in our environment. To understand the new technology, ideas and measures that are being taken today, it is important to understand how pesticides were being used in the past. Furthermore, one must go a step further to conclude why the past measurements were considered to be inappropriate thus bringing us to the measures being taken today. In the past, we were not quite sure what long-term effects, if any that pesticides might have. When applying pesticides one must take into consideration the amount that actually remains on the plant as compared to the amount that is w .....

.... a label is that he draws sympathy, as well as admiration, from the reader since Hamlet feels the pain of losing his father along with the burden and obstacles in avenging his murder. Act four places a special emphasis on Hamlet's intelligence. In scene two, Hamlet is very insolent and rude towards Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with such phrases as, That I can keep your counsel and not, mine own. Beside, to be demanded of a sponge, what replication should be made by the son of a king? (IV, ii, 12-14) The reference to the sponge reflects the fact that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are easily ordered by the king and do not have minds of their own. Hamlet d .....
