.... The scene I am going to describe is at the end of chapter 3 of the book. It mostly involves Lennie, Curly and George, but Slim, Candy and Carlson were there too. The setting of this scene was in the bunkhouse in the ranch where all the workers slept and lived. Steinbeck described the bunkhouse being, " a long, rectangular building. Inside, the walls were whitewashed and the floor unpainted." Later he says, " Against the walls were eight bunks, five of them made up with blankets and the other three showing their burlap ticking." So far we get the idea that the bunkhouse was not the most beautiful place to live in, one of the only forms of .....

.... power of knowledge in much the same way by bringing to light the problems that confront the individual. However, they both would have a different point of view on the use of this power. In Discipline and Punish, Foucault looks to shock the reader and get the attention of the reader immediately with his depiction of torture and death at the outset. This has a compelling effect, and different uses of power. The first one being evident, that is the physical power. The other form of power is not so evident. It is the effect of this power on the mind of the individual. The punishment and extraction of information has gone from being a very physica .....

.... his forehead, seemed to suit his gloomy face and made what had seemed at first an unsociable remoteness into something forbidding." Roger was an authoritative big'un that didn't seem to care about the consequences of his actions. Not only was his appearance gloomy, but his personality tended to be as well. "Roger, uncommunicative by nature, said nothing." His physical appearance led the reader to believe that Roger was a completely corrupt character, inside and out. Roger seemed civilized near the beginning of the novel. Even though he was civilized, he still had the tendency for evil. While he threw rocks at Henry, he aimed to miss. "Roger gathered .....

.... mate to fill the role of her husband, Sula is only looking for a quick fix. Every society has its own distinct values and certain ideals of how a person should behave, especially in public. There is no universal morality. What is viewed as normal and acceptable is legislated by a majority. Each system of rules and regulations that are established differs in each society. Those who follow the rules are rewarded with praise and approval; they become apart of the majority and, as a result, become part of the process of adding new rules and revising old ones. Those who don’t play by the rules, like Sula, are viewed as outcasts. In most societi .....

.... with [his] mother, breed children from whom all men would turn their eyes; and that [he] should be [his] father’s murderer." This fate is undeserved and makes one question the reasoning behind the fate. The gods seem heartless and cold in their treatment to an innocent man. The aspect of sightlessness is first mentioned in the discussion between a soothsayer and Oedipus to find out the justification for the punishing, "…murdering sea," that Thebes has been thrown upon. The city is being punished by the gods for an offense that has been committed by a criminal who does not know his crime. The question of justice arises and is di .....

.... and small", he is grouping them in very close together. The children are separated into there own group. As they grow through the seasons in lines nine, ten, and eleven, they pass on into adulthood. They in essence no longer exist in the poem. The bells ringing might have something to do with them becoming adults, since I do not see them relating to any other parts of the poem. The bells seem to be an important part of the town since they are mentioned in the second line of the poem and those exact lines are repeated in line twenty-four, sixth stanza of the poem. The bells are related to the children and their death, because they only ring when the ch .....

.... was graduated from the City College of New York in 1897, he had already sold many jokes and stories to newspapers and magazines. By the time he left graduate study at Columbia University in 1900, he had published ninety stories for magazines like Army and Navy Weekly. What turned Sinclair to more serious literature was an traumatic religious experience. From his friendship with a young minister, Sinclair got a devotion to moral and social justice. The Reverend, W. W. Moir took the Gospels so seriously that he taught his students that a rich man had no chance of going to Heaven. When he gave Sinclair some works to read, Sinclair found them so contra .....

.... theoretical as opposed to actual. Aristotle, contrarily, holds the view that politics is the art of ruling and being ruled in turn. In The Politics, he attempts to outline a way of governing that would be ideal for an actual state. Balance is a main word in discussing Aristotle because he believes it is the necessary element to creating a stable government. His less metaphysical approach to politics makes Aristotle more in tune with the modern world, yet he is far from modern. Plato's concept of what politics and government should be is a direct result of his belief in the theory of forms. The theory of forms basically states that there is a highe .....

.... kill the first pig they meet. At first they are able to use this sense, and keep their traditional standards also on the island. They elect a leader democratically, and by popular vote they start deciding what has to be done. They have rules for the meetings and they make laws for what is allowed and what is not. “’We’ll have rules!’ he cried excitedly. ‘Lots of rules! Then when anyone breaks ‘em—“33 The problem comes when the boys start realizing that there is no one there to control them. There are no adults there to make them toil and sweat if they do not want to. The boys realize that swimming .....

.... the gates are locked after school starts. Once these students were in the school, the doors to the school for the most violent ones would be locked and the windows would be similar to those in the juvenile hall. Students would attend these schools from 8 a.m. until 2p.m., the same as a traditional school. The second way is a work-placement program that can help these troublemakers to find work in the community when they are no longer able to attend or wish to be at these special schools. These programs would be designed to help these students get a job in what they are most interested in doing. By offering these worst troublemakers alternatives o .....
