.... of Ithaca again, Odysseus is still unable to go home and resume his normal life. The patience that he acquired aides him in seeking the right moment to avenge his wife’s thoughtless suitors and to regain control of his house. Before he descended into Hades, Odysseus was quick to draw his sword and start a fight. At almost all of his stops, Odysseus and his crew, some how or another, got into battles with the inhabitants of the islands. While he is in Hades, Elpenor, his dead crew member, tells Odysseus to bury him or he may “draw up God’s vengeance upon (him)!�(125). When Odysseus leaves Hades he goes back to bury his friend. This is t .....

.... of the play as he is now. He is typical of us and just wants enough money to get by with, without getting into dangerous situations. He also shows how we will manipulate a situation to suit our own needs and wants. The Common Man shows self-interest on a small scale. Take for example when More is using the Common Man's boat and the issue of payment comes up. He asks More to 'make it worth his while". This shows us how most would act in the same situation. It shows that all people have a price even if it is on a small scale. The Boatman also goes as far to hint about his 'young wife'. By mentioning her, he hopes that he will be tipped more money. He .....

.... victim to instinct, and instead of saving the members of his community he chooses to save his own self-image. This human weakness proves to be John Proctor’s tragic character flaw. It not only leads to his demise, but to the loss of many innocent lives as well. Survival may be one of the natural instincts in human beings, but it can and sometimes will be overcome by other powerful emotions. John’s initial struggle for survival is suppressed by his overwhelming love for his wife. He becomes involved when his wife’s name is mentioned in court, and her life becomes endangered. John does a complete turn around on his perspective of .....

.... came to his attention at an early age. He noticed that both black people and white people stared at his white mother with her black family, letting him know that his family was different from what was considered normal and acceptable by society. Comparing skin color with his mother, he noticed that her skin was white while his was black. He became confused about his own color and uncomfortable with the fact that his mother was white. He wanted to be accepted by others, and he thought that life "would be easier if [his family was] just one color, black or white" (103). McBride became aware of his race at a younger age than most children. While .....

.... character is in. This shapes the character’s personality and power. The Millimurra/Munday family were forced to live white - the Australian government tried to assimilate them by means of english education, clothing, food, and so on. It may have appeared that they were the good, doing this for the natives and civilizing them but really they were wiping out the culture the family already had and could have made them feel unsure about who they are, where they beong, but on the other hand with the Millimurra/ Munday family, it made them stronger going though all the hardship. The character’s strength as in dealing with choices can conclude how he .....

.... the history of the Russian revolution. Although I do think this is a great book I believe it has some flaws. One of the major flaws with the writing of this book is that if the reader does not have any prior knowledge of the Russian revolution then he will surely miss most of the important aspects of the book. I do not think Orwell took into account his audience when he wrote this book. He must have known that not everyone who would read his great work of literature would not know well the complete history of the Russian Revolution. Taking this idea into account, I think he could have somehow made it possible for a person who did not kno .....

.... white people. It was not until she went to live with her mother that she really put action behind her feelings. After Bailey’s departure, Maya felt that “it was going to be impossible to stay where she was, but leaving held no attraction for her either.” (Chap 34, pg 264, line 2) Eventually she decided to go to work. She had her mind set on becoming a streetcar driver. Even though her mother warned her that they didn’t hire coloreds, she was determined just as well. When she went to apply for the job, the white receptionist put great effort into discouraging her, mainly because she was black. However, this did not discou .....

.... somewhat incapable of raising a rebellious boy like Huck Finn. Nevertheless, they attempt to make Huck into what they believe will be a better boy. Specifically, they attempt, as Huck says, to "sivilize" him. This process includes making Huck go to school, teaching him various religious facts, and making him act in a way that the women find socially acceptable. Huck, who has never had to follow many rules in his life, finds the demands the women place upon him constraining and the life with them lonely. As a result, soon after he first moves in with them, he runs away. He soon comes back, but, even though he becomes somewhat comfortable with his .....

.... It would make for a pretty dull and quite unpopular show if such popular daytime soap characters as Luke and Laura or Bo and Hope had enjoyed a smooth courtship, uncomplicated marriage and then grew old and gray together without a single conflict. The viewers watched them go through many conflicts, some of which involved the classic love triangle. Such conflicts as the love triangle keep the story moving. Common elements of triangles in today’s soaps consist of lust, greed, jealousy, any of which are interchangeable with the conflicts resulting from situations involving lovers coming back from the dead or paternity uncertainties. Yet lo .....

.... that all knowledge is therefore generated. Knowledge for Aristotle is a knowledge of universals, that is, a knowledge of Essences. Thought is thus the faculty by which we come to comprehend universals. And since material objects are a composite unity of essence and existence, it naturally follows that we grasp the universal through our encounter with the particular. What follows is a series of events which leads to knowledge. The passive intellect receives the image from the sense data and it is stamped upon the passive intellect from the material impression. From this stamp the active intellect is to draw out of it and somehow make a universal co .....
