.... Emilia thinks of love in a souly physical way. Typically, men usually are the ones to have these opinions of woman, yet Emilia very strongly feels that as long as she is physically satisfied, that is all she needs. She doesn’t look for emotional support in a man; Emilia tends to look to other woman for that kind of support. In Emilia’s opinion, men are useless for anything other than sex. “Let husbands know their wives have sense like them, they see, and smell, and have their palates both for sweet and sour as husbands have. (4,3,92)” Out of this quote one can see that she believes that sex is all men want from woman as will. .....

.... glitter have never been an issue of inappropriateness. Those who were less eccentric when it came to expressing their exterior image stayed with the “acceptable� red tones.

.... Just as the walls and doors of the house serve to keep out and protect the inhabitants from the outside world, Mrs. Ramsey works to create a domestic space where she can shield the people from the effects of modern life and offer a retreat into a more natural landscape. This natural landscape however can be seen as a threat, the pounding of the waves on the surf turns from a “soothing tattoo to her thoughts” to the “ghostly roll of drums remorselessly beat(ing) the measure of life”, and terrified the sound makes her think “of the destruction of the island and its engulfment in the sea”(23-24). The simple fact that .....

.... Ridley, in my eyes, is a perfect example of a role model in our society today. I often look up to her and try to live my life in the way she does. She does many different things for many different people. After attending the University of Saint Thomas, she went on to become a very successful Dental Assistant. In this occupation she assists the dentists in jobs that he or she cannot handle doing by their self. When working this job she also had to raise two young children who she supported extremely well. She would often go out of her way to please my brother and I, giving us usually what we wanted. She did not spoil us though. She knew tha .....

.... and Nora’s submissiveness was when she got him to re-teach her the tarantella. She already knew the dance but she acted as if she needed him to re-teach her the whole thing. When he says to her “Watching you swing and dance the tarantella makes my blood rush�. This shows that he is more interested in her physically than emotionally. Then when she told him to stop he said to her, “am I not your husband?� Again, this is an example of Torvalds control over Nora, and how he thinks that she is there to fulfill his every desire on command. Torvald doesn’t trust her with any money and with the little money that he does entrust her with he is .....

.... The bough of cherries some officious fool Broke in the orchard for her, the white mule She rode with round the terrace … The first example, “My favor at her breast,” shows that she found pleasure in the attention that the Duke showed to her. Yet, Browning leads us to believe that she equated this intimate contact with something as simple as the sun setting, “The dropping of the daylight in the West.” In the following passage the reader is given the first glimpse of what probably led the Duke to such a violent act: She thanked men -- good! but thanked Somehow -- I know not how -- as if she ranked My gift of a nine .....

.... understand what Martians are about. They seemed a little like Earthling couples that like to bicker and disagree all the time. The Summer Night In this part, it describes a night on Mars when everyone starts singing and humming an alien song. This was a little weird. I was wondering how this song got into their minds. The Earth Men This story tells about people from Earth landing on Mars. The Martians give them a hard time as if they were not from Earth.
