.... or to give something that are truly desired or needed. God always hears every prayer that is lifted to the heavens. “The mills of the gods...� can be interpreted as synonymous to God's constant hearing and answering of the many prayers that come to Him. God weighs the practicality of each prayer, always keeping in mind His master plan for each person's life. He carefully considers these prayers in light of how each alternative will affect the petitioner's life and the lives of those around them. Then, in His divine wisdom He responds to these requests either directly or through other people. Very often, His answers are not all one woul .....

.... didn't like the idea of marriage. Benedick thought that marriage led to the trapping of men. When he heard about Claudio getting married, Benedick thought that Claudio was crazy, because Benedick felt that marriage was going to change the way Claudio lived. Benedick was also very stubborn. He never wanted to give into other people's ideas, and that was why he didn't want to give into the idea that marriage could be a good thing in a person's life. Beatrice was a character very similar to Benedick. She was a very independent person, and didn't want to rely on anyone for support. She also was very smart. She .....

.... God strikes down those who are too rich and successful. It is not necessary for a man to have sinned to be punished, in the view of Herodotus. Herodotus directly tells the reader his views on divine justice through the character of Solon. Solon is one of "…the great Greek teachers of that epoch." (Histories Bk 1 Ch. 29) He was traveling around the world when he paid a visit to Croesus, the King of Lydia. Croesus gave Solon a tour of the palace, and then asked Solon a question. "Well, my Athenian friend, I have heard a great deal about your wisdom, and how widely you have traveled in the pursuit of knowledge. I cannot resist the desire .....

.... saw that he was strong, and they relied upon him for protection. Beowulf did himself what a number of "weaker" people had tried. He slew an unassailable monster with his bare hands. The Danes had all tried and were slaughtered. Where strenght was concerned, he was unsurpassed. Condidence, was also a characteristic that the inhabitants of this era deemed as a necessity. The people enjoyed hearing the imprissive tales of their leaders. They followed their leaders proudly knowing that the victories would come. Beowulf was so confident that he left his home to go help people he did not know. He was positive that he could defeat this Grendel .....

.... to this and also due to differences in personality between the two men, the relationship between father and son was relatively hostile. The young prince had little respect for his father or his father’s wishes, illustrated by his act of immediately repealing of Gaveston’s banishment upon his father’s death, ‘My father is deceased; come, Gaveston, And share the kingdom with thy dearest friend.’ His father spent his life expanding and defending his young son’s future kingdom and in trying to educate his son in the art of war. The young prince however was totally uninterested in the art of war or in expanding or defending his kingdom, a .....

.... flashback that Fitzgerald provides takes place on page 79. In this flashback, Jordan explains to Nick how she first met Gatsby. She explains to Nick that when the girls were eighteen, he was with Daisy Fay in her “little white roadster.� This flashback is effective because it gives us an idea of how Daisy and Gatsby’s relationship was purely based on beauty and not friendship. The placement of the above quote was essential because it allows us to experience early in the novel how Gatsby had a relationship with Daisy. This first example of flashback by Fitzgerald proves to be effective and its placement essential because of the way it is use .....

.... hard lessons about life. For instance, there was the time when Amy, the youngest, suffered her first punishment in school. She carries that anger, humility, and embarrassment with her for the rest of her life. There were also more serious lessons to be learned, like when one of the sisters, Beth, dies. By the end of the book, they really have turned from little women into real women. Jo was the second oldest of the four sisters. Her birth name was Josephine, but she always thought that it sounded too feminine, so she shortened it to Jo. Clearly, Jo was one of the main characters of the story because many of the events center .....

.... verbs in both their modern form. For example, hath is the older form of has. He also used both modern pronouns,such as you, and older pronouns, such as thee or thou. His vocabulary basically resembles modern English, but he used many words that are no longer used. That is why, in most adaptions of his plays, you have notes which define complicated words. Special Literary Devices: Shakespeare and other Elizabethan writers enjoyed using rhetoric (also known as literary devices) that present a fact or idea in an interesting way. One familiar kind is alliteration where the same sound is repeated in a line or group of lines of verse. He also used the de .....

.... have a film about the town of Flint, Michigan and the trouble it went through during the GM plant closings. Right now I can think of a few thousand ways a filmmaker could have taken this story, added his point of view, and bored me out of my mind. That couldn’t be any farther from the truth. I found myself drawn into the story that Michael presented. He used comedy to pick up some slower parts and good camera angles to keep my attention on the screen. As for Story and Characters Moore once again used text book accuracy and added his twist. He picked a few characters and used them through out the film. This is something that kept the au .....
