.... 80 days or otherwise lose his fortune. My favorite character in the novel is Passepartout. Passepartout was an innocent Frenchman that just after being hired as Mr. Fogg's servant was told to pack for a trip around the world. Throughout the entire novel the reader is informed of all the peculiar habits of Fogg that Passepartout had to support. My least favorite character is Fix the detective. He followed Fogg around the globe, he missed arresting him in India and Hong Kong through incompetence, and as soon as they arrived back in London, he did arrest Fogg but erroneously. The main conflict of the novel was time. Time caused a lot of pressure o .....

.... barriers between Calixta and Alcee were diminishing with first contact as shown in the excerpt, “The rain beat upon the low, shingled roof with a force and clatter that threatened to break an entrance and deluge them there.� This refers to the storm outside and their emotional state. They were feeling this need and desire for each other and it was beating down all the barriers they had set up within themselves to resist this temptation. Their feelings were so dangerously close to the surface that they could hardly hide them any longer. The storm was raging on and the drama of the lightning was very shocking to them. They could almost feel its .....

.... in a common shirt which is stained "where his armor had left mark" (l. 72). That is, the knight is "just home from service" (l. 73) and is in such a hurry to go on his pilgrimage that he has not even paused before beginning it to change his clothes. The knight has had a very busy life as his fighting career has taken him to a great many places. He has seen military service in Egypt, Lithuania, Prussia, Russia, Spain, North Africa, and Asia Minor where he "was of [great] value in all eyes (l. 63). Even though he has had a very successful and busy career, he is extremely humble: Chaucer maintains that he is "modest as a maid" (l. 65). Moreover, .....

.... words. Ibsen’s social criticism is shown throughout both plays. It is clear that he looks down on Victorian society and that he has painted it as the villain, not Tovrald or Mr. Engstrand as is might appear. He shows that society is superficial by the words of the characters in both plays. Nora and Tovrald appear to only care about material things and appearances. Mr. Manders is exactly the same way. He only cares about what people think of him, not real issues. Ibsen also shows that people are narrow-minded. Nora even points this out to Tovrald when he is condemning Krogstad for one mistake. Mr. Manders is very narrow-minded in the way he .....

.... light and still votes guilty. Eight tries to convince Three how the boy is not guilty beyond reasonable doubt but Three does not listen adn would rather see the boy die. "For this kid, you bet I'd pull the switch."(17) This shows how emotionally unstable Three is. He is a grown man living in a civilized community and would like to see a boy who he does not even know die by his own hands Eight does not think highly of Three for what he says about killing the boy and shouts "your a sadist."(17) which is the absolute truth about Three. The emotional make-up of a juror can change his desicision on wther or not to let a man live or die. When someone is .....

.... that Harriet began taking tranquilizers. Even during her pregnancy, Harriet began referring to Ben as the "monster." During a conversation with Dr. Brett after he refused to induce the baby, she is quoted as saying, "It's because you don't want to. It's not you who is carrying this" (She cut off monster afraid of antagonizing him.) (p. 47) At eight months she went into labor. Although she had never gone to the hospital before for her other deliveries, this time she insisted. This shocked everyone, especially her husband David. Ben was not your typical baby. "A real little wrestler," said Dr. Brett. "He came out fighting the whole w .....

.... is the possibility that Olivia may be in love with a woman. Shakespeare allows his audience to excuse this by having Olivia be unaware that Cesario is actually female. Yet, Olivia's attraction seems to stem exactly from the more feminine characteristics like Cesario's "beautiful scorn" and "angry lip" (136-137). Olivia's words allow an audience, particularly a modern one, to perhaps read her as suspecting or even knowing that Cesario is female, yet choosing to love him/her anyway. Olivia's description of Cesario's beauty, both here and upon their first encounter, praises typically feminine qualities, but curiously doesn't question Cesario's gend .....

.... in the shambles and his family has strayed from the church and tribal traditions. Kumalo eventually learns to deal with this and while he is doing this, he makes a friend, James Jarvis, that changes the way he has looked on life. The tribal breakdown starts to show in book I, with the land that the tribe must use and how the people have used up the natural resources that used to lay there. The whites pushed them out of where they used to reside where the land is so good that it could be even referred to as “holy, being even as it came from the Creator.� (pg. 3). In the rural areas such as this the decay comes as a result of making the b .....

.... many key points of my statement are touched upon, and in many instances I can identify with the message the author is trying to send. Sanders discusses that it was the men who were sent off to the factories and the mills to provide for the family. It was the men that had to perform all of the laborious tasks around the house and if the time were to come men would be the first to join the military and go die for their country. These are not expectations of men these are obligations! It is our job as men to see to it that the family is always provided for, the labor is always done and if there is a fight that needs fighting men are the first .....

.... escaped publicly by train. Ellen posed as an old white man traveling with his slave. She wore this disguise because women could not travel alone with slaves. To pull this off, they covered her face with a handkerchief. They felt that her smooth skin wouldn’t look very convincing. She also had her arm in a cast, so that they could use the alibi that the master (Ellen) was traveling to Philadelphia for medical reasons. They traveled through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland before they reached Philadelphia on Christmas day. At one point while traveling, Ellen was seated next to a friend of her owner, who knew her fr .....
