.... Christmas. Quick to anger when a sharp word was flung at a child, or a woman's hold of a baby seemed awkward or careless. The worst burn she ever made was on the temple of a customer holding a child across her knees. Violet, lost in the woman's hand-patting and her knee-rocking the little boy, forgot her own hand holding the curling iron. The customer flinched and the skin discolored right away. Violet moaned her apologies and the woman was satisfied until she discovered that the whole curl was singed clean off. Skin healed, but an empty spot in her hairline… Violet had to forgo payment to shut her up. These two hundred fifty words or so are a smal .....

.... direction. I got a long way.� Her journey brings her to a hill that she climbs up and down. “At the foot of this hill was a place where a log was laid across the creek.� Phoenix shuts her eyes and crosses the log and opens her eyes when she is across. Along her journey she comes upon a barbed-wire fence. She crawls and creeps through to only come across a field of dead corn. There she comes before a scarecrow that she mistakes for death. She laughs at herself for thinking that the scarecrow was a ghost. Continuing on her path she bends down to drink from a spring of water. Being unaware a dog jumps on top of her and she lands in a ditc .....

.... deems the physical senses as an inappropriate and unholy means of expression for women in her didactic poem "Goblin Market". Laura is more willing than Lizzie to induce her sensory perceptions and this leads to her demise. Laura the unwholesome sister of "Goblin Market", is stimulated and seduced by the Goblins. The first movement of the poem adheres strictly to her senses. This is all the while Lizzie reprimands Laura for "loiter[ing] in the glen", (ln. 144) with the Goblin men. Although, Laura is severely punished because of her greedy pursuit of pleasure by Rossetti. The dichotomous position of the two sister's moral stances on the fulf .....

.... local spiritual leader, became the driving force in the community, gathering the people together to preach self love and respect. "When warm weather came, Baby Suggs, holy, followed by every black man, woman and child who could make it through, took her great heart to the Clearing..." (Morrison, 87) Twenty days after Sethe's arrival, Stamp Paid brought them two huge buckets of delicious blackberries. With these Baby Suggs and Sethe decided to share the pies they would make from the berries with Ella and her husband John, and from this their generosity escalated into a full-fledged feast for all the colored people in the area. The area folks accepted .....

.... relinquishing his power, and Cronos cast the penis out into the sea. Years later Cronos was defeated by Zeus, and the age of the Olympians was born. Ouranos' penis floated amid the white foam of the oceans, and eventually that combination created Aphrodite. Hesiod said that the word Aphrodite is derived from "aphros," an ancient greek word for foam. She soon washed up on the shore of the island of Cyprus. Her beauty was unsurpassed, and every god wanted to marry her. Zeus, fearing a war among his pantheon, gave her to his trustworthy son Haphaistos. Hephaistos was the god of fire and blacksmiths. He kept his wife happy by making exquisite jewelry .....

.... in the form of a love Sonnet. Although it mocks the conventional blazon it does not undermine the beauty of his mistress. Shakespeare tells us that he would love her even if “her breast were dun….� John Donne’s sonnet is quite personal as he is writing about his own beliefs but expressing publicly his views. Shakespeare’s sonnet is written for a wider audience as he is trying to get people to see his point of view. This is that the conventional blazon of the love sonnet is inaccurate and either ridiculous or impossible. The language used for each sonnet is both different and surprising. In Shakespeare’s sonnet the language is inter .....

.... moment he had. On the other hand, Finny was a natural athlete and schoolwork was not his top priority. Their friendship perplexed the boys and the readers as no one could entirely understand what the attraction was. Even though it seemed like a strange and complicated friendship, Finny and Gene developed a strong bond. Unfortunately a strong bond could not withstand Gene's insecurities, as he faltered in Finny's unknown pressures of conforming. Another important theme is conformity. Conformity refers to the choices young people make regarding going along with the crowd and pursuing their own paths. They can either give in to peer pressure or be sec .....

.... each are passionate about and the consequences that follow. I can argue that the choice made by Antigone was noble and honorable because she was standing up for what she believed in. Antigone was trying to do what she felt was the right. She was standing up for her family. I think that many people would feel the same way in her situation. Antigone wanted to offer her brother the burial that she felt he deserved. Although it did not seem as though she agreed with what her brother had done she did believe in family loyalty.When Antigone approached Ismene with her proposal, Ismene said no. She justified her decision by telling Antigone that they were a .....

.... elements of a typical screenplay, and explains what it actually is that an audience craves. Many of the principles can and should be applied to any story whether a screenplay, theatric play, novel or short story. The play is much more predictable in the sense that a great many things are bound not to happen on stage. In fact nothing taking place outside Frank's office can be seen by the audience. All action is inevitably confined within these four walls. When Frank invites Rita to his home for dinner in the play the audience are not set up for suspension as to how it will turn out since they already know that whatever happens will not take place befor .....

.... in the winter and put his arms around her. He tried to show off to her by boasting his skill at sledding, and how he could coast down the dangerous hill and miss the big elm tree that was in the path right around a sharp bend. Mattie fell in love with Ethan too, after a picnic on a summer afternoon. One day, Zeena left Starkfield to see a new doctor in Bettsbridge. Her trip would keep her over night so Ethan and Mattie had the night alone together. Zeena asked Ethan to take her down to the Flats to catch the train, but Ethan said that Jotham Powel would have to do it because he had to drive a bunch of lumber over to Mr. Hale’s and collec .....
