.... be in the middle of writing another short story to send to some newspaper or magazine. The thing is, none of these stories actually ever seem to be very good or successful. Throughout the novel, not one of them is ever actually publisher. Not even MaritoÕs friends really like his writing. In Chapter thirteen he reads the one about Aunt Eliana to Javier, Aunt Julia, and even to Pascual and Big Pablito. After they hear it, not one of them really has anything nice to say about it at all. So, although writing is one of MaritoÕs passions, it is also one of his demons. It is basically his job and how he makes a living at the radio station .....

.... followed the same pattern towards finding happiness. Like most of the French, they worked long hard hours in bad working conditions and not so great pay. These sweatshops represent the first act of action to climb up the social ladder. But for the immigrants, it meant much more: they have these jobs in order to save up some money for the future, by a nice house and reach the next step in social ladder. Most of the time, the immigrants would buy their home in other neighborhoods; they would change community because it reflected their new social situation. Because they have more money, they can move to an area where people of the same nationality li .....

.... in response to Claudius addressing him as both his nephew and son. The King (Claudius) then asks Hamlet "How is it that the clouds still hang on you?" [Act I, Scene II, L. 68] and Hamlet puns in response once again, saying "Not so my lord; I am too much in the sun." [Act I, Scene II, L. 69]. In both of these quotes (L. 67 & 69) Hamlet shows a depressed detachment and an obvious satirical mood. In lines 79-89 of the same scene, Hamlet opens up a little more to his mother after she asks him why it is that he "seems" so distressed/depressed by his father death, explaining to him "All that lives must die." [Act I, Scene II, L. 74]. In response to his .....

.... of the poem, as well as throughout the work, the speaker describes daffodils and other types of flowers moving freely in the wind. Using imagery to appeal to the reader’s sense of sight, these flowers are given motion, and they are described as, “…blowing,” (3) and “Flutter[ing] in the breeze,” (23). This creates a sense of freedom and flexibility. The woman in the poem, presumably Amy, wishes to be like the moving flowers, carefree and jaunty. In the second stanza of the poem, the woman begins to describe the water in the marble fountain. The, “…plashing of waterdrops,” (28) and, “&# .....

.... and settlement patterns. People tend to seek out others like themselves. Regional variations tend to become more pronounced as the speech community is more isolated by physical geography, i.e. mountain ranges, rivers. Linguists have done extensive studies on regional dialects, producing detailed Linguistic Atlases. Many linguists can tell where a person is from just by knowing whether a person carries groceries home from the supermarket in a paper bag or from the grocery store in a paper sack (Yule 184). And the person who comes home from the supermarket with a paper sack serves to remind us that language variation is not a discrete, but rather .....

Diction- the choice of words with special care for their expressiveness. Thought- the ideas expressed in a work of art. Spectacle- the visual ingredients of work of art.

.... something other than the sad normal man that his father was; that he endeavors to become a great man, is what brings these two stories together. As the men in The Odyssey look to Odysseus as the touchstone of masculinity, Bob Dubois looks to the men in his life in his attempt to become a good man. Bob wants to become a mythical male, "handsome, of course, and sexy and good-humored; he’s not rich, not yet, {…} he’s kind and gentle, tender to women, children and animals, without being sentimental, however, because after all, he’s a "man’s man" as well; he’s a stern yet jocular father to his children, and he can take care of .....

.... sense of being the leading bread maker for the family, which demands some respect. Gregor supports his family by having this job, so the family gives Gregor respect in return. However, once the family learns that Gregor has turned into a bug, they stop treating him with respect, and instead, imprison him in his room. What use do they have for him now; he no longer makes any money. His parents refuse to look at him or even to try to communicate with him. Instead of giving Gregor the respect he deserves out of love for their son, his parents give him respect because he gives them money. Now that he doesn’t earn money, they lose all respect. .....

.... with his bare hands. Beowulf possesses the superhuman abilities, the amazing power to hold his breath under water for an umlimited period of time. Some readers as myself feel that this characteristic seperates from the realistic nature of the story and gives the impression that Beowulf is more like a myth than a man. So with all this in mind, in the epic Beowulf he's portrayed as almost inhumane, so was he indeed a man or merely a myth? Beowulf is described as…"greater than life"…than anyone in the world and in order to prove himself as a hero, he has to fight against something superhuman (Donaldson 10). "Beowulf is the prime example of an epic .....

.... and jumped over a high fence; Mr. and Mrs. Gilby were amazed. He ran for awhile until he came to a cliff that went down to a road. When he started going down the cliff he slipped and the next thing he knew he was lying down in the middle of the road. A family named the Beans drove down the road and picked him up. They took him back to their house and fed him and took care of him until he was better. Eventually Jon remembered his name, but he didn’t know anything else. Later the Gilbys came over to the Beans house and asked if they knew where Jon was, but the Beans hid him and the Gilbys never knew. Jon was kept in hiding until the Gilbys foun .....
