.... on the voyage home they offended Athene, who let loose an evil tempest and tall waves against them. Then all the rest of his excellent companions perished, but the wind and the current carried him here and here they drove him.� The original conversation between Hermes and Kalypso had little to do with Odysseus’s journey. Hermes in lines 97 to 115 tells Kalypso that Odysseus’s fate lie not on the island, but back home in Ithaka. The parataxis interrupts the line of conversation to inform the reason why Odysseus arrives here. It gives a glimpse the span of Odysseus’s journey and the fate of his companions before the story is told. .....

.... greed and through personal ambition, was the cause of all these evils," in reference to the war (Thucydides 243). Basically, he states that humans will always be compelled to sin (breaking laws, harming others, etc.) because of the feeling that something can be gained out of it. Thucydides embellishes this concept even more, stating "…men were often killed on grounds of personal hatred or else by their debtors because of the money that they owed" (241). This is a direct example of personal wants and greed leading to massive sin. It is exactly this selfish concept which lays the foundation for defining human nature according to Thucydides. A .....

.... draft board. Calley did basic training at Ft Bliss, Texas and later to officer training at Ft. Benning, GA. He was shipped off to Vietnam in 1967. Calley tries to follow the rules at first, meaning not showing compassion for the civilians as he was taught. It was hard for the GI’s to tell the kids to go away, because most of the GI’s just loved those kids and Calley couldn’t encourage them not to. Captain Medina is Calley's commanding officer. Medina wants him to burn down a corral. Medina wants a VC body count. Calley replies his count is zero and is told he is not doing his job and will be replaced. One day the GI’ .....

.... with Benjamin Disraeli. Together they formed a number of political partnerships, none of which was more important than the Reform Act. The Reform Act greatly annoyed the upper class, which considered the idea of any man being allowed to vote as simply disgraceful. The Victorian era saw legislation concerning labour and industry, which began to intrude on the power of the Upper class over the working class labourers. In fact by the late 1880’s Lower classes were working less hours, while their wages continued to increase. This allowed many to enjoy luxuries that until then were considered only possible by the Upper Classes. Women, even the ones .....

.... like a land of dreams, Stockburger 2 So various, so beautiful, so new Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night� (Arnold, 830-831). Matthew Arnold gives his views on life, love .....

.... incapable of escaping from his small world. His Small world, which includes his family and the bank he works in. Towards the end of the play, he says that he’ s saved and has in a way escaped from the prison he was locked up in. We find this out as he says: “ Nora I’ m saved!” In the entire play, Nora is in fact THE one and only real one imprisoned. She has no rights to do anything; she is “a bird in a cage”. Kristine gives the exact figure of Nora by saying: “ A wife cannot borrow without her husband’ s consent”. She is also imprisoned by law because of her forged signature and is therefore &# .....

.... than the actual human being that might not fit the picture of their perfect and humane society. Through these problems and opposites which cross and overlap each other, Dostoevsky depicts social issues, especially the problem of murder, through an image of people who go through pain. He presents a graphical experience of ones who do not know how to deal with humanity and its problems. Dostoevsky himself does not give a clear solution nor does he leave one with the certainty of faith for an example. He says himself: Finding myself lost in the solution of these questions, I decide to bypass them with no solution at all. (From the A .....

.... or changed drastically. Herein, lies the thrust of his book, that of things falling apart. This is the extract from W.B. Yeat's poem, "The Second Coming" wherefrom Chinua Achebe chose the title of his book, and with good reason: Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. These lines form the epigraph of the novel, and are a conduit for expressing Achebe's main theme i.e. the destruction of one being by another. They also help in focusing the reader throughout the narrative to the underlying idea of the poem. However, before pr .....

.... "Ship wracking storms and direful thunders break" (L.26). This thunderous weather symbolizes God’s anger at his representative of Scotland being attacked. The darkness during the play (all but two of the scenes are set in darkness) shows how the night is strangling the earth, representing the anger of God at the events in Scotland. The "Dark night strangles" (Act Two, Scene Four, Line Seven) the earth, showing God’s, overall grip on the world. The King at this time had an absolute monarchy (power of life and death over everyone in his kingdom). The belief was that God had passed special powers to all Kings, such as that for .....

.... Wright has projected his main character, Charlie Salter, as a stereotypical novel hero in the area of romance. Strength is another way in which Wright portrays Charlie Salter as a typical novel hero. Strength comes in many shapes and forms. In the earlier novels Salter was somewhat obese, and definitely out of shape. While laying in bed one morning, he said to his wife, “My physique isn’t what it once was.” (A Question of Murder pg.24). Immediately after saying this Salter made a vow to himself to get back into the physical condition he once had during his early years on the force. Salter is showing a strong demonstrati .....
