.... of a Greek association. According to Irving Klepper, the first fraternity (Phi Beta Kappa) was founded for "social and literary purposes" at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia on December 5th 1776. After half a century of existence, it became and has since remained a scholarship honor society. Throughout the nineteenth century, many new fraternities were founded, but none of these were permanent. Then, in 1825, the Kappa Alpha Fraternity (now Kappa Alpha Society) was born at Union College. Two years later, Sigma Phi and Delta Phi had been founded at the same college, constituting the so-called Union Triad which was, .....

.... complication in her poems because allegory and symbolism contradict each other (Diehl 18, 19). Dickinson did not name most of her poems. She named twenty-four of her poems, of which twenty-one of the poems were sent to friends. She set off other people’s poetry titles with quotation marks, but only capitalized the first word in her titles. Many critics believe she did not title most of her poetry because she was not planning on publishing her work. As Socrates said, “the knowledge of things is not devised from names… no man would like to put himself or the education of his mind in the power of names”(Watts 130). Dickins .....

.... divine approach, as opposed to the mundane path Creon chose to travel. Antigone feels that Creon is disregarding the laws of the heavens by ordering it unlawful for anyone to provide a proper burial for her brother Polyneices. Antigone’s opinion is one that supports the Gods and the laws of the heavens. Her reasoning is set by her belief that if someone were not given a proper burial, that person would not be accepted into heaven. Antigone was a very religious person and the acceptance of her brother by the Gods was very important to her. Creons order was personal to Antigone and his edict invaded her family life as well as the Gods. A .....

.... Even though both characters demonstrate that they have an interest in politics, they have different driving forces within them that bring forth their interests. In Rick's case, he exhibits an interest in politics that is centered around his feelings for the woman he loves. For example, when Rick was together with Ilsa in Paris he was very ambitious with his political beliefs. He was visualizing resistance and freedom for the French people. After tragically losing the love of his life, Rick ceased to show any political involvement or any strong political beliefs and began to worry only about his own well-being. On the other hand, Victor Lazl .....

.... a well-respected reverend in New Jersey, advocated Bible reading and preached "the right way." Similarly, his mother, who "lived in and for religion," was influential in Methodist church affairs as a speaker and a journalist in her crusade against the vices of her sinful times (Stallman 5). This emotional frenzy of revival Methodism had a strong impact on young Stephen. Nonetheless, he -- falling short of his parents’ expectations on moral principles and spiritual outlook -- chose to reject and defy all those abstract religious notions and sought to probe instead into life’s realities. Moreover, Crane’s genius as "an observer of psychologi .....

.... school now, will matter in the future. When deciding on accepting you, colleges look at your grades in high school, first. Then, they look at other things; your extra-curricular activities. Students may not realize this until it is too late. Students may think that there will be time later to do things and won't work as hard as they should to achieve the best grades. Any student can earn as good grades as the valedictorian of a class. A student's environment or surroundings, under which he does his work under, may cause a student's grades to be low. A student's environment or place where he or she does work; plays a big factor on how well they .....

.... myth. He is saying that the worst part is not the actual death but the fact that he failed, “Only the feathers floating around the hat showed that anything more spectacular has occurred.� In “To A Friend Who’s Work Has Come To Triumph� Anne Sexton has put a women’s touch on the myth. She is saying do not look at the fact that he failed, look at the difference he made by trying, “Think of the difference it made!� The Myth of Icarus can also be seen by an artist’s standpoint. Obviously, the main character is Icarus and what happens to him. In William Carlos William’s “Landscape With the Fall of Icarus� he reverses the roles. Ins .....

.... boy on earth could have been happier. He didn't have a worry in the world. But, just when things were really looking good for him, something happened. He got mixed up with a bunch of monkeys. Those monkeys all but drove him out of his mind. He should have kept this monkey trouble to himself, but he got his grandpa mixed up in it. He even coaxed Rowdy, his old blue tick hound, into helping him with his monkey trouble. At the time, the Lee family was living in a brand-new country that had just been opened up for settlement. They had moved there when Jay Berry was only two years old. He and his twin sister, Daisy, were born in Oklahoma City. He was born .....

.... happening with her loved ones; but she only had one hour to do so and after this one hour she would die Hawthorne did not come out and say this but in saying things like "there is but a short hour that we may tarry here."(Hawthorne 103) and I will do your bidding though I die(Hawthorne 103). She had run from everything that was important to her because the most important, was dying. Hawthorne was not too clear in stating what exactly the problem was but it seemed that her daughter had fallen ill. Throughout the story Hawthorne masks this fact well and uses foreshadowing nicely. In one part where the main character is looking in on her .....

His wife was tricked into killing him. She got a gift that had Hines blood on it. Hines blood was a very poisonous blood. It can kill any mortal, even a half-mortal. Haties god of war, he starts wars and kills as many people as he can. He is a ruthless god. All the god’s helped mortals in one or another way, but they can also cause a lot of trouble.
