.... is good for us to know that these great people listened to what they thought was true and not others. Perhaps we are great too but are too afraid to speak out and be heard for fear that our ideas are worthless. We feel as though we are misunderstood and are not worthy of such popularity. Emerson makes a good point when he says not to overlook today’s youth. I think we need to put things into perspective and realize that kids aren’t going to stay kids forever. They will grow up to be adults and we have to teach them now to make good decisions because they will be running the world in the near future. The unrealistic side to Emerson’s philos .....

.... his parents had been born and raised in Mexico. After moving and settling in America, Rodriguez’s parents gave birth to him and his siblings. Rodriguez refers many times to "los gringos" , a colloquial, derogatory name charged with "bitterness and distrust" with which his father described English speaking Americans.

.... shadow to the divine spark of life, it is obvious that whenever a person talks of death they invariably talk of life. True to this statement are Terry Wolverton’s poems in Mystery Bruise. Her poems embrace aspects of life as she sees it and almost all of these “dancing insights� mention death. In addition to death running hand and hand with life is the concept of continuous change.

The poem “We Resist Evolution� approaches this ideology of change. Wolverton op .....

.... It is known that both Brutus and Antony desired to appeal to the Romans (or the people). However, the way in which each man went about it differs drastically. Not only did it influence the outcome, but each speech also offers a unique insight on each of the speakers. Brutus' speech becomes one of strict vindication, not only for the people of Rome, but for Brutus himself. He uses his "honor and nobility" as a shield to defend and justify his actions to the crowd. Brutus states that he has carried out this heinous act because of his love for Rome, and for the good of the people. (This is my answer, not that I have loved Caesar less, but that .....

.... comedy. The play takes place in June and this is a bewitched time. In the spring the custom is to celebrate the return of fertility to the earth. During this time the young people spend the night in the woods to celebrate. Shakespeare uses the greenworld pattern in this play. The play begins in the city, moves out to the country and then back to the city. Being in the country makes things better because there is tranquility, freedom and people can become uncivilized versus when they are in the city and have to follow customs and laws and behave rationally.

.... stronger physically, but made her resent him. Also, his teachings helped shape her into that of a duchess. Another person responsible for the changes in Eliza was Mrs. Pierce. Her involvement was more with Eliza’s appearance, rather than her personality. It was Mrs. Pierce who bathed Eliza that first day and it was Mrs. Pierce who kept her appearance refined. She picked out the clothes and made sure she ate correctly. In some ways, Mrs. Pierce was like a mother taking care of a baby; Eliza was the baby because she is just learning how to be a lady.
