.... down to a new economic low. What time would be better than this to write a book about the great American dream, a book about long held American ideals, now squashed by big business and white supremacy? Mark Twain did just that, when he wrote what is considered by many as the “Great American Epic�. Finn, “The great American epic,� may be one of the most interesting and complex books ever written in the history of our nation. This book cleverly disguises many of the American ideals in a child floating down the Mississippi River on a raft with a black slave. On the outside of the story, one can see an exciting tale of heroism and adventure .....

.... Christ's sakes." (p. 34) Lena gets mad and Ruth says that Beneatha is "fresh as salt." (p. 34) Beneatha retorts, "Well- if the salt loses its savor." (p. 34) Lena gets offended even at this mild sacrilege. Later, Lena says, "You going to be a doctor, honey, God willing." (p. 38) Beneatha replies, "God hasn't got a thing to do with it." (p. 38) She goes on to say, "God is just one idea I don't accept… I get tired of Him getting credit for all the things the human race achieves through its own stubborn effort. There simply is no God- there is only man and it is who makes miracles." (p. 39) Lena rises across the room and slaps Beneatha in the fac .....

.... area of human experience. Orwell feels that beggars and tramps have unfair labels and stereotypes attached to them. For example, most people think of tramps as being dangerous. About that Orwell says: "Quite apart from experience, one can say a priori that very few tramps are dangerous, because if they were dangerous they would be treated accordingly. A casual ward will often admit a hundred tramps in one night, and these are handled by a staff of at most three porters. A hundred ruffians could not be controlled by three unarmed men. Indeed, when one sees how ramps let themselves be bullied by the work house officials, it is obvious th .....

.... " is the remarkable placidity, or composure, of its tone" (Greenberg 128). The tone in Dickinson"s poems will put its readers ideas on a unifying track heading towards a buggling atmosphere. Dickinson's masterpieces lives on complex ideas that are evoked through symbols, which carry her readers through her poems. Besides the literal significance of the "school," Gazing Grain," "Setting Sun," and the "Ring" much is gathered to complete the poem's central idea. Emily brought to light the mysteriousness of the life's'cycle. Ungraspable to many, the cycle of one's'life, as symbolized by Dickinson, has three stages and then a final stage of eternity. T .....

.... compares the party to the social class, and how the rich people are on one side and the poorer people are on the opposite side. Heker does not like the social class system and she doesn’t want the reader to like it either. This story shows how the people in the story are the same, but still separated by one big gap and that is class status. The first hint to that was when the girl with the bow talked to Rosaura. “I and Luciana do our homework together,” said Rosaura very seriously. “That is not being friends,” the bow headed girl said (614). In that quote what the girl with the bow said that Rosaura was not a frie .....

.... students the opportunity to study Shakespeare at length and provoke a greater appreciation of his literary ability. Analyzing his work enables students to recognize, understand and respect the playwright's true genius. Evident in Shakespeare's plays is the broad use of irony, imagery, rhythm and other literary devices. Through these devices, he establishes atmosphere and character, and intrigue. Exposure to these devices provides students with a broad knowledge of literary style and technique, while serving to develop and improve writing skills. Also, because much of the modern literary ideas and writings allude to and can be traced back to Shak .....

.... they did a lot of preparations, trying to please the bishop, to free themselves from the sin that was about to happen later that day. The perfunctoriness of the people’s faith matches that of the bishop’s blessing as he passes by without stopping: “ It was a fleeting illusion: the bishop began to make the sign of the cross in the air opposite the crowd on the pier, and he kept doing it mechanically, without malice or inspiration, until the boat was out of sight…” There is no explanation of why the bishop hates the town, but if he does- and passing by reveals at least indifference-such an attitude is at odds with the .....

.... a greater chance in being employed as an accountant, and succeeding in life. If someone always dreamed of becoming an artist, and that was their goal in life, they would want to practice art. This student would like the most experience and training he could get throughout his years in school so they would be prepared to take more advanced courses and become very skilled. Second, if Middle School students had their choice of courses, it would reflect on the faculty as well as other students, making it more enjoyable for everyone. When the student is choosing his or her courses, they are choosing it for the reason that they feel they could do well i .....

.... are some of the words he uses to get the reader's attention and he succeeds. Little Libby is also a poem about death, however, the difference is very obvious. Moore uses a different style to create her poem. She uses "pretty" language to describe the death of "Sweet little Libby" and how beautiful and delicate she was. She compares Libby to a flower that dies too soon in the second stanza and then repeats it in the third. The word "little" appears eight times throughout the poem to over emphasize how little Libby is. She also tells us that her friends mourn for Libby three different times in lines 12, 16 and 17. This rep .....

.... only needs a few emotional words to make it complete. Sayings in collaboration "Two heads are better than one." "The more the merrier." "Teamwork is a simple solution for a difficult problem." "More hands make for light work." Unlike in a verbal conversation you might get more of a response than yeah, or ok, or whatever. Both people or all the people in the group would have to be willing to openly hear the other person's side and give an honest judgement of it. Even though someone might not want to give an opinion usually everyone leans toward one direction or another on any topic. The cons are the disagreements, well that could also be a plus. When .....
