.... bigger and stronger than any normal man. The theater master tells the protagonist that "no man has fought with him and lived!" Callibus has Andromeda and the rest of the city under a spell and Perseus makes it his business to release them from it. He defeats the monster and takes his hand. Doing so, Perseus makes clear his courage. Truly, it is a scary and risky thing to fight a monster such as the one in the story. Any normal man would cringe at the though and promptly back away. Unlike a mare commoner, the epic hero, Perseus, goes into battle with his sward high. This displays an enormous amount of courage. Such bravery can only be classified as epi .....

.... 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 centered on her .....

.... Powhatans, were not savages as John Smith would later claim in his General Historie of Virginia...&c. Instead, they were a ceremonious people who greeted important visitors in a formal manner with a large feast and festive dancing. Although they did occasionally put prisoners to death in a public ceremony, it was no more savage than the English customs of public disembowelment of thieves and the burning of women accused of being witches. In May of 1607, English colonists arrived on the Virginia shoreline with hopes of great riches. They established a settlement that they named Jamestown. Little watched as these strangers built forts and sea .....

.... his own life. The first descriptions of Mr. Shimerda are that of a successful businessman that had always provided well for his family. I noticed how white and well-shaped his own hands were. They looked calm, somehow, and skilled. His eyes were melancholy, and were set back deep under his brow. His face was ruggedly formed, but it looked like ashes – like something from which all the warmth and light had dried out. Everything about this old man was in keeping with his dignified manner (24) Mr. Shimerda was indeed a prosperous man in Bohemia, but had made his living in the business world, not by running a farm to provide for his family’s nee .....

.... the course of the play though, Macbeth was greatly influenced by the supernatural forces of the witches. ‘ All hail, Macbeth that shalt be king hereafter!’ These witches led him to believe that he could be a King over all of Scotland if he would just do a few dishonest things to get what he wanted. ‘If chance will have me King, why, chance may crown me, without my stir.’ Macbeth was gullible enough to believe the witches and thus led to his very own deception and demise. He brought himself to an even greater status than he began with but only through a gigantic web of lies which could not be untangled. He then felt lost and .....

.... to go. I think the mother is really worried because in line 32, it tells how her white hair increases. That's either a sign of aging or worrying too much about her son dying. The brother has been married for ten months. Akiko reminds her brother of the misery and pain he will put his wife and mother through if he dies, and how it will be hard for them to continue life without him. I think the reason the brother wants to go and fight in the war is because he wants to be remembered as a great fighter of a war. Like in line 22, it says, "In death is your glory," the brother knows the consequences of going off to war. I think the brother see .....

.... as the man behind the podium retrieved a manilla envelope from his desk, and from the envelope he withdrew a fully loaded .357 magnum with a 6.5 inch barrel. There was a resounding chorus of, "No, Budd no!", and several curses as a few of the cameramen dove to the floor. The man with the gun tried in vain to calm the panic stricken crowd by waving his free hand around in placating manner and repeatedly saying, "No." After only a few seconds the room quieted and the man said, "Please leave the room if this will offend you." He then said, "Please stay back, this will hurt someone.", and without any further hesitation he placed the gun into his mouth .....

.... such as "Like hues and harmonies of evening" are used to state that this Power has an equilibrium, an intrinsic, inevitable concordance. The five similes in this stanza are all intangible; the first four are all an intrinsic part of the Romantic’s love of, and preoccupation with, nature. Through these similes Shelley constructs an image of the Power’s awesome and intense status. The second stanza is a question Shelley asks of the Power. Lines 2 and 3 are particularly important, as it is where he says the Beauty (another form of the Power) "shine[s] upon | …human thought". On line three, the question is posed to Beauty: & .....

.... the devil, at the same time it was against such things as dancing and other premature acts. The reputation of the family was very important to the members of the community. When the girls were caught dancing in the woods, they lied to protect not just themselves but the reputation of their families. They claimed that the devil took them over and influenced them to dance. The girls also said that they saw members of the town standing with the devil. A community living in a puritan society like Salem could easily go into a chaotic state and have a difficult time dealing with what they consider to be the largest form of evil. Salem’s hysteria made the .....

.... by listening to the needs of his people. Oedipus searches for the truth concerning the murder of the former king. He believes punishing the assassin will restore order. His admirable intentions are shown when speaking to the chorus, "You shall see how I stand by you, as I should, / Avenging this country and the god as well, / And not as though it were for some distant friend, / But for my own sake, to be rid of evil." (Sophocles, 138-141). Oedipus desires the best future for his kingdom and is willing to fight to eliminate the problem causing the disruption in order. Upon the will of the gods, he is determined to seek the murderer of Laios and bri .....
