.... is a good example of a formulated 're-hash' of writing just redone. Sometimes I feel the writers of these films just do it for the money, or the simple fame of achieving a blockbuster movie once again. We find this with the writer of The Faculty, which wrote I Know What You Did Last Summer and its sequels. These are so formulated that it is easy for those that analyze and look at movies as a work of art and not just merely a “Saturday night date place.” These scriptwriters seem to stray away from their original concept of creative writing and have conformed to the Hollywood pressures of fitting a script standard that has been set. Lo .....

.... ill wife as they had been married for seven years. "When they married they agreed as soon as he could straighten out the difficulties, he would sell the farm and saw mill and try their luck in a large town" (pg 71). It was believed that her sickness was derived from the "effect of life on the farm, or perhaps, as she sometimes said, it was because Ethan "never listened" " (pg 72). Due to this Ethan felt it was his responsibility to take care of his wife. Zeena had been trying hard to get help as she occasionally left town to seek medical assistance. Ethan had "grown to dread these situations because of their cost" (pg. 62). Zeena had always returned .....

.... it through the summer without air conditioning?" Although Buckley wrote this essay in 1961, his argument definitely holds true today. Americans are spoiled by technological advantages. Children used to go to school to learn how to perform simple mathematical equations. However, due to man's past achievements, a child can perform the most complex problems on a calculator without the hours of straining. As I write, I am using a technological advance that I have become dependent on: the computer. If not for this piece of machinery, I would be stuck for minutes setting margins with the traditional typewriter, and looking up the spellings of various .....

.... small and nimble hands and bodies were easily maneuverable. Employers most often hired children over adults because kids were powerless and would not revolt (Yancey 33). Economic conditions forced poor children into working, sometimes as hard and long as their parents (Cody). Essential to the economy, Parliament supported child labor saying a child was more useful to his family working (Altick 249). Child laborers led very hard and grossly disgusting lives of filth. Generally the living quarters of laborers were poorly built, rotting, even falling down, with little ventilation. There was no indoor plumbing causing people to throw human waste on unp .....

.... of evil. Simon is the obvious fulcrum in the good and bad spectrum. On one end lay Ralph, and on the other end lay Jack. One thing that Golding does is creating Simon as a Christ-like figure. Simon is the purest of all the boys. Simon does not follow orders, nor does he give them. He will not commit acts of violence, nor will he insult the boys who insult him. Golding is constantly giving Simon more and more Christ-like characteristics and traits. From the purity of his heart, to the Lord of the Files attempting to tempt him. Another thing Golding does often, is use the literary tool of symbolism. Almost all of the important aspects of the boo .....

.... Penelope's character is Homer's model of the ideal woman. She worries when her son Telemachos sails to locate his father and grieves over the absence of her husband.

.... imperative that the members vote to arm themselves in defense. Henry defines his speech as opposing those who favor peace and supporting he arming of the colonists against the British. In order to support his "call to action" to the learned group of men at the Virginia Convention, Henry had to provide substantial proof endorsing his position. While an appeal to their emotions would rouse them against the British for the moment, emotions are short-lived and their endurance would depend on proof. Henry asks, "are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation?" "what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to sub .....

Old Major then teaches them the song the Beasts of England which teaches them the "great" life without man and with no more bad leaders: Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland, Beasts of every land and clime, Hearken to my joyful tidings, Of the golden future time. Soon or late the day is coming, Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown, And the fruitful fields of England, Shall be trod by beasts alone. Rings shall vanish from our noses, And the harness from our back, Bit and spur shall rust forever, Cruel whips no more shall crack. Riches more than mind can picture, Wheat and ba .....
