.... attitude towards the dance understandable. When Mason Williams comes to dance with her, she describes dancing with a 'nobody' like her was "as offensive to him as having to memorize Shakespeare." The narrator's school life was just as bad if not worse. She would never be sure of herself when she is called up to the blackboard. Her "hands became slippery with sweat when they were required to work the blackboard compass." She would also envision the worst case scenario, that she had her period prior to being called to the front of the class, even when impossible. This shows that her self-esteem is really low, and she could not deal with the dance. The d .....

.... it to the front page and the nightly network news. As Kurtz makes clear, the president and First Lady are convinced that the media are out to get them, while the journalists covering the White House are constantly frustrated at the stonewalling and the lack of cooperation they encounter while trying to do their jobs. In the middle is the White House press secretary Mike McCurry, a master at defusing volatile situations and walking the fine line with the press. Though less paranoid and cynical of the media than Clinton, he often finds himself on both ends of personal attacks and vendettas that veer far outside the arena of objective reporting. Th .....

.... mind. Maybe it is better to explain that it is a story for children, but not specifically for them alone. The story of exists on many different levels. Saint- Exupéry explains the importance of seeing beneath the surface by beginning his book with the story about drawings of closed and open boa constrictors. Later, he relates a story about the Turkish astronomer who discovers 's home, Asteroid B-612. When he presents his findings to the International Congress of Astronomy, dressed in his comical Turkish outfit, he is not believed .

.... the characters were faced with many different problems. In the end, however, they were still able to persevere and win their true love. The four young lovers each developed in their own ways. Hermia, the daughter of Egeus, was in love with Lysander from the beginning. However, her father wanted her to marry Demetrius. Hermia was strong-willed and stubborn. She adamantly refused to be forced in to a marriage with Demetrius. A woman was not allowed to be blatant and rebellious in those times. Still, Hermia did not care. She said that she will marry the man she loves or she will die unwed. This display of a death threat was parallel to that of .....

.... by the suffering and calamity. There is the feeling of fear in the play as well, that makes men see how blind they are not knowing when fortune or something else would be on them. The hero must be of a high status on the chain and the hero also possesses a tragic flaw that initiates the tragedy. The fall of the hero is not felt by him alone but creates a chain reaction which affects everything below him. There must also be the element of chance or accident that influences some point in the play. King Lear meets all of these requirements that has been laid out by Bradley which is the most logical for a definition of a tragedy as compared to the defin .....

.... found out though that what they were expecting was not going to happen, and it appeared that those who were not killed in the war went somewhat crazy. When one of the boys (the name I don’t remember) goes back to his class to tell the new students about war, he couldn’t contain himself. His teacher had made war sound like a great adventure that everyone should experience. When the boy got up to talk, he told everyone that it was horrible, and his teacher went crazy. War films that are made now are certainly anti-wars films (usually), but this film in particular showed that war was a horrible, horrible thing. The way the director .....

.... identify them for who they truly are. When Lear is angered by Cordelia, Kent tries to reason with Lear, who is too stubborn to remain open-minded. Lear responds to Kent's opposition with, "Out of my sight!," to which Kent responds, "See better, Lear, and let me still remain" (I.i.160). Here, Lear is saying he never wants to see Kent again, but he could never truly see him for who he was. Kent was only trying to do what was best for Lear, but Lear could not see that. Kent's vision is not clouded, as is Lear's, and he knows that he can remain near Lear as long as he is in disguise. Later, Lear's vision is so superficial that he is easily dup .....

.... obvious reason Abigail Williams has for blaming John Proctor’s wife, Elizabeth Proctor, of witchcraft, is the fact that she is madly in love with John Proctor. Elizabeth knows this, too, and has even caught her husband with Abigail once. She then got rid of her as a maid, and put her on the road. When she is talking to her uncle, Reverend Parris, she even mentions that "She [Elizabeth Proctor] hates me, uncle. It’s a bitter woman, a lying, cold, sniveling woman..." (page 12). It is clear that Abigail is speaking with a jealous tone, and that Elizabeth only did what seemed to be the best way to keep her family together. Abigail .....

.... with Jane seating herself at the window-seat. She draws shut the red curtains around her, effectively closing herself off. Jane sees through the window the cold and gloomy outside world.

.... the repentant Danny to visit him, and they become friends. Danny dazzles Reuven with demonstrations of his photographic mind, with the quantity of scholarly work he bears each day, and with the intellectual prowess of his English and Hebrew studies—qualities greatly revered in traditional Jewish culture. Danny’s revelations startle Reuven; he confesses he would rather be a psychologist than accept his inherited role as spiritual leader of his father’s sect.
