.... meet up and a type of outline of the journey is presented. Although the incident of the trolls didn't took place in the Hobbit Hole, it occured nearby. This is important because afterwards, Gandalf obtains the sword that killed the Goblin King. These weapons are the ticket for freedom in many perilous situations presented in the story. Finally, this is also where the story ends. b) The Valley of the Elves - although in this place, their main reason for staying was to resupply on provitions, they also obtained information that helped them later on their journey. c) Misty Mountains - the Misty Mountains is where the action really begins. .....

.... his path between what the white man wanted and his path. Tayo became so entranced with the idea that the Japanese were like him that he started to put people he knew at home's faces on the Japanese soldiers. Tayo could not see the reason for killing the Japanese, and then when the soldier killed Rocky, it made his path split like a silk string to a spider's web, it went out in all directions. His mind snapped at that exact moment and went into "shell-shock". Tayo started very early trying to find his path, but yet his path paralleled Rocky's until the time when Rocky died. Tayo's path paralleled but was always a step behind, because he was trying .....

.... first found out about the expedition on the Beagle, Charles knew that if he took this chance, he would have to face deadly swamps, fatal diseases and even savages. Yet the thought of traveling to the beautiful tropics and maybe discovering a new species meant more to him. Even as he experienced extreme seasickness almost everyday of the five year long voyage, Darwin would not turn around and go back to England. Another and maybe the most important trait was the ability to work hard. If Darwin found something that interested him, he would be willing to spend years working on it and improving it. An event that shows this occurred between 1846 and 18 .....

.... unpardonable sin extends to Moby Dick, then the importance of understanding what Hawthorne intended is of wider importance. Secondly, I believe that the meaning and significance of the unpardonable sin is, derived, in part, from social influences of the industrialization of society. That the theme of the unpardonable sin conveys feelings and attitudes of a pre-industrial society which are carried by individual members of the same society a hundred years later. This gives the theme of the unpardonable sin personal importance and understanding of the social causes that happened over a lifetime before the effects that still linger. Reading H .....

.... regardless of their belief of guilt. leaves many readers in doubt of the court system because of Simpson's acquittal. First, was O.J. Simpson on trial or the L.A.P.D.? Second, what kinds of politics were involved and how did it affect the strategies of the opposing attorneys? Lastly, how does that effect our court system? We would like to trust the judicial system and believe that it is a legitimate institution we can search for truth. As I read Alan Dershowitz's book it became clear that the question "Did O.J. do it (murder Nicole Brown)?" would never be answered. Dershowitz argues that "Neither the prosecutors nor the judges were searching very .....

.... showed further on in page 91 when she asks Mr.Stockdale whether he can ‘keep a secret’, and then she reveals the barrels to Mr.Stockdale that contain spirits from France and this is a very unusual thing for young women of her time to be doing, because it would usually have been men that would do all the smuggling. Lizzy realises that Mr.Stockdale is very surprised, and tries to defend herself by saying ‘’Smuggling is carried on here by some of the people,’’ and ‘’It has been their practice for generations, and they think of it as no harm.’’ Then to astonish Mr.Stockdale even more, she begins to show him how to extract the liquor .....

.... his morals and way of thinking are defined by books and what was taught to him. This is seen when he speaks about the flaws of men, setting a bad reputation for all, and the man’s flaws causing their “downfall.”(a.1, sc.4, l.) Upon meeting his father’s ghost, he learns that Claudius killed his father, and that he must take on the task of avenging his death. This encounter changed who he is completely. He said that he will wipe away books, the past, and all of the things he was taught. He will live “within the book and volume of …brain”(a.1, sc.5, l.). He only will live through this purpose in life, and .....

.... Euclid was born at Megara. This is due to an error on the part of the authors who first gave this information. In fact there was a Euclid of Megara, who was a philosopher who lived about 100 years before the mathematician Euclid of Alexandria. It is not quite the coincidence that it might seem that there were two learned men called Euclid. In fact Euclid was a very common name around this period and this is one further difficulty that makes it hard to find information concerning Euclid of Alexandria since there are references to numerous men called Euclid in the history of this period. There is nothing consistent in the dating given about when Eucli .....

.... worship. "Then it had been merely the stars to which he had aspired on that June night. He came alive to me, delivered suddenly from the womb of his purposeless splendor" (p.79). Nick realizes Gatsby's estate, parties, shirts and other seemingly "purposeless" possessions are not purposeless. Everything Gatsby does, every move he makes and every decision he conceives is for a reason. He wants to achieve his ideal, Daisy. Gatsby's "purposeless splendor" is all for the woman he loves and wishes to represent his ideal. Furthermore, Gatsby believes he can win his woman with riches, and that his woman can achieve the ideal she stands for through material in .....

.... was big and had fitted white carpets and a bed with a padded white leather headboard" (705). Even though he does not know her, Tom sees the woman as free from any blemish. Tom thought he knew what the woman on the roof was like. In his dreams "she was kind and friendly" (705). White symbolizes Tom¹s fantasy of the woman on the roof. When Stanley flirted with Mrs. Pritchett, Tom felt that his "romance with the woman on the roof was safe and intact" (706). What romance? Tom has based his opinion on fantasy rather than reality. Fantasizing "himself at work on the crane, adjusting the arm to swing over and pick her up and swing her back across th .....
