.... just following what each family had done in the past generations. On one occasion, Tybalt tries to protect the honor of his family and show his hate for the Montagues. One example of this happened at the beginning of the play. He enters into a quarrel between two of the Capulet’s servants and Benvolio. Tybalt, of course, drew his sword and tried to pick a fight with Benvolio to protect the family’s servants and to defend them in his family’s honor. As shown in the following quote, Tybalt goes on instinct but has his family’s intentions at the top of his priorities. “What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? .....

.... what was going to happen next. Macbeth was very scared of Macduff and ordered murderer's to kill Lady Macduff and their son. Macduff told Malcolm to lead an army against Macbeth, this was at the end of the play, where Macbeth was killed by Macduff. Macbeth's ambition is extraordinary throughout the play in a way that Macbeth is very courageous throughout the battle that occurred. When Macbeth was given the title 'thane of cawdor' he felt that he had power over everything which made him more powerful, In act 1 scene 3 when Macbeth said to himself Glamis, and the 'thane of cawdor', the greatest is behind. He said this because he is now the king and by s .....

.... described the experience best through Jim Burden in My Antonia. “The vast sky, the endless plains, the enormous sun evoked a pantheistic and acquiescent response in the young boy There he felt the individual ego diminished and merged with something much greater.” (Internet #2) Like Jim Burden,Cather found the immigrant pioneers fascinating--their stories, their vitality, their dignity. The land which at first seemed flat and monotonous proved to furnish endless variations on the theme of fertility. “No matter how far she wandered across the globe, she wasalways drawn back to the Nebraska prairies and those best days of her .....

.... lonely man because he chouses to fight and continue to fight. This quote from "The Battler" shows that Nick is in bad shape. "(Nick) was dead looking in the firelight" (Hemingway 131). In the short story, "The Killers" this code again is portrayed. Ole Anderson, a character in "The Killers", did something wrong earlier in his life and he will now pay for it with his life because there are killers out to get him. As this quote shows Ole Anderson knows he will now die, "There isn’t anything I can do about it." (Hemingway 287) The second code, a near death experience is probably as closes to the truth as a person can come, is shown in the shor .....

.... will kill your father," it simply said "You will kill your father and sleep with your mother." The ancients believed that whatever an Oracle predicts was bound to happen. Oedipus does what he can to evade his destiny, he resolves never to see his supposed parents again. But it is quite certain from the first that his best efforts will fail. Others would argue that because Oedipus was a tyrannical ruler and didn't make the best choices in life, he deserved to suffer. E. R. Dodds states that, "Oedipus' behavior on the stage reveals the man he always was: he was punished for his basically unsound character." It was unavoidable and was his destiny to su .....

.... In addition, the theory claims that states of being are contingent upon the mingling of various Forms of existence, that knowledge is objective and thus clearly more real, and that only the processes of nature were valid entities. However, Aristotle attacks this theory on the grounds that Plato's arguments are inconclusive either his assertions are not al all cogent. Aristotle says, or his arguments lead to contradictory conclusions. For example, Aristotle claims that Plato's arguments lead one to conclude that entities (such as anything man-made) and negations of concrete ideas could exist - such as "non-good" in opposition to good. This contradic .....

.... to pleasure becomes his way of life. The novel underscores its disapproval of aestheticism which negatively impacts the main characters. Each of the three primary characters is an aesthete and meets some form of terrible personal doom. Basil Hallward's aestheticism is manifested in his dedication to his artistic creations. He searches in the outside world for the perfect manifestation of his own soul, when he finds this object, he can create masterpieces by painting it (Bloom 109). He refuses to display the portrait of Dorian Gray with the explanation that, "I have put too much of myself into it" (Wilde 106). He further demonstrates the extent to whi .....

.... narrator wants what the exotic dancer represents. The Narrator wants to be equal among everybody else, but the white men won't let him. The white men in the room force the boys to look at the dancer, while others threaten them when they do. It is clear that at the time that this story was written, black men could never show any kind of attraction towards white women. This was an unwritten, but inexcusable law of society with harsh consequences. How that relates to the story is that the group of black boys are not suppose to be attracted to the exotic dancer as they are not suppose to be attracted to the idea of being equal with white people. T .....

.... them handle it. Ever since Bigger was a little boy he has felt very oppressed by the world because he was black. Bigger feels that he has nothing to be proud of so he takes this oppression to the heart and turns it into fear.

Bigger demonstrated that he should be feared and acknowledged by murdering the daughter of a very rich family. At one point after Bigger killed the daughter stated that “...for the first time in my fear-ridden life a barrier of protection between him and a world of fear.”(p. 1 .....

.... Cardinals play in their robin’s egg blue uniforms in the early 1980’s. We had a birdfeeder in our backyard, and every morning, the same cardinal would stop for his breakfast. I named him Tommy Herr, after the Cardinals second baseman at the time. Tommy has long since retired, but I will always remember the little bird flying in my backyard. It is difficult for one to approach this subject without a sense of heroism and romanticism of it’s rich history. One of my favorite parts of going to the ballpark is listening to the fascinating stories of old timers, the men who have loved the game since childhood. They remember Musial, Maris, .....
