.... Japanese Americans were sent away to internment camp. Nothing was quite the same at wars end. When the Miyamoto has returned to claim their land, they had found out that the victim’s mother, Etta, cheated them. She sold their seven acres of strawberry land to another farmer, because of lack of the last payment during their removal. This disreputable action she took, was caused by her racist thoughts that she had toward Japanese. This has been demonstrated out in her conversation with her husband, she said, “We’re not such paupers as to sell to Japs, are we? For new clothes? For a pouch of fancy pipe tobacco?” (Guterson 11 .....

.... her a bond that I had never felt before with any of my other teachers. There was something about Ms. Smith that allowed me to put aside my bases about math and for once in my life look at the subject with a more objective approach. My best friend was also in the same math class that I was in but much to my surprise she on the other hand hated math class. Her dislike of math class was solely based on the fact that she didn't like our math teacher. She thought that our math teacher was a horrible teacher who couldn't teach and her attitude problems. It was quit astonishing how I could only concentrate on Ms. Smith's positive attributes while my best f .....

.... known as the dignity of even a half century ago. No one has the time any more to nurture and develop their dignity to a reasonable potential, as they find increasingly less and less reason to do so, relying instead on pure wit, instinct and professional tact. What I think is meant when one talks about dignity is the following. Take an imaginary case. You are confronted with a difficult or abnormal situation, yet you can maintain the same level of thinking and can attempt to deal with the situation. Or, you are forced to respond to a matter, and there is the possibility of your letting it get out of hand, but you control yourself and respond instead .....

.... fierce blaze of riot cannot last"(II, i, 33) Lady Gloucester, however, thinks that Richard can be stopped and thinks that he must be stopped by Gaunt. She thinks that if Richard is not stopped, he will continue to kill, and Gaunt could be next. " ... To safeguard thine own life / The best way is to venge my Gloucester's death." (I, ii, 35-36) Richard could have allowed Bolingbroke and Mowbray to fight to the death, but if he had allowed this and if Bolingbroke had won, Richard's full part in the murder could be exposed. On the other hand, if Mowbray had won, Richard would be in debt to him even more so than he already was. The only other opt .....

.... narrator looks up to his grandfather. He told the narrator’s father to keep up the fight. The father then tells the narrator what the grandfather told him. This was just being passed down through the different generations. This to me shows the loving relationship that the grandson and the grandfather share. Near the end of the story however, his grandfather’s presence scares him to death. The grandfather’s advice was a little too much for the narrator to handle. "Live with your head in the lion’s mouth…overcome them with yeses…let ‘em swoller you till they vomit." This scares the boy. These last words that his grandfather te .....

.... the children’s interruption at the jail house where Tom Robinson was being held. On impulse, the children arrived at the jail to encounter several men confronting Atticus. At this time, Scout was quite unaware of what was happening, being totally oblivious to the threat the men posed to the safety of herself, Atticus, Jem and Dill. She was merely expecting an argument between the men and was eager to witness it. Her naivete becomes even more evident in her “talk” with Mr Cunningham. She began conversation to be polite, possibly to impress the adults present. As she was not encumbered by the knowledge of the impending danger, she ta .....

.... carries with him. By giving George the last name of Milton, Steinbeck seems to be showing that he is an example of fallen man, someone who is doomed to loneliness and who wants to return to the Garden of Eden. Perhaps this is why George is always talking about having his own place and living "off the fat of the land," as Adam and Eve did before their fall. In a way, Lennie is always described in an animal sense. In the beginning of the novel he is referred to as having paws or he snorts like a horse. Every single minute someone is taking care of Lennie. First Aunt Clara has the responsibility then George. Lennie always wants puppies or talks abo .....

.... little brood look "fresh and dainty". To those around her, Mrs. Sommers is this innocent family lady. However, the minute she buys the silk stockings is the minute she becomes a different Mrs. Sommers. All of a sudden everything she has in not good enough, she looks at her shopping bag as "shabby" and "old". Her parcel is "very small". At this point, she wants more. She begins to think without reason, and loses her sense of responsibility when she puts the stockings on in the ladies room. Mrs. Sommers is "not going through any acute mental process or reasoning with herself", she is "not thinking at all" at this point. Mrs. Sommers's mind is .....

.... manage their time between academics and socialization Participation in extracurricular activities is a great resource for students to grow as individuals. Students have many opportunities to choose from when participating in extracurricular activities. The most common opportunities for participation in extracurricular activities are found in schools, communities, and religious organizations. The most accessible extracurricular activities to students are those that are school related. School sponsored extracurricular activities include sports, student clubs, and musical organizations. Community organizations are also popular among students, and serve .....

.... dream of receiving a letter of deep and truthful meaning: “And I did and in it I found an engraved document containing a short message in letters of gold…� “To Whom It May Concern,� I intoned. “Keep This Nigger-Boy Running� (33). Even though it is just a dream, the white people actually do want to keep the narrator and his race running after false dreams. Another example of the bad associated with papers is when the brotherhood gives the narrator an envelope containing a new name on a piece of paper, replacing his identity: This is your new identity, Brother Jack said. Open it. Inside I found a name written on a slip of pape .....
