.... voyage is a mission to “wean those ignorant millions from their horrid ways.” (Conrad, 16). In reality everywhere they went they colonized the land, used the natural resources, and left ruins behind them. Marlow says, “They grabbed what they could get for the sake of what was to be got. It was just robbery with violence, aggravated murder on a great scale, and men going at it blind - as is very proper for those who tackle a darkness. The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves...” (Conrad, 10). With the unfolding of his .....

.... settling in its walls and ceiling."(Phelps, 534) Sip is poor; this home was all she could afford. She had to work and take care of her deaf sister Catty. Perley experienced first hand the conditions in which Sip lived. She also visited the home of Bub Mell. Perley noticed that like Sip Garth's home, Bub Mell's home had a strong and unpleasant odor. There were holes in the steps and the walls were crumbling. There were six children, Bub's sick mother and his father living in the house. The father did not work and basically depended on his children to work and support the family. Bub worked at age eight even though he was too young. These can be comp .....

.... is added to the plot. Using this method the reader can understand Scout's actual opinion of an event or person, "Jem and I hated her. If she was on the porch when we passed, we would be raked by her wrathful gaze . . ." (99). Harper Lee depicts Scout as strong and opinionated yet innocent and full of questions. This method of literature makes the tale more personal and it almost seems as though you are actually there. Utilizing the first person narrative writing style is a unique way to appeal readers. Another important writing style that informs the reader and giving them a vivid picture of what is actually happening is detailed description. Harper .....

.... their own child, of course, they have every right in the world to name him or her. But in some cultures, as is evident in “No Name Womanâ€�, they have the right to take away someone’s name if they have disgraced their family and/or community. A name is very significant because it gives a person a sense of who they are, an identity. In “No Name Womanâ€�, Kingston’s aunt had no identity except for the story her mother told her and in “Maryâ€� Marguerite’s new boss, Mrs. Cullinan changed her name to Mary which then, in a way, removed Marguerite’s original identity and gave her a new one, one she didn’t want. By changing Margueriteâ .....

.... God Bless America, Woody Guthrie’s This Land is Your Land, and Samuel Smith’s America all declare a love and respect for this land we call “home.” It is our duty to regain a love and respect for the land, its beauty, and life ‘s comfort. The legacy of our natural resource heritage must be preserved. Education is the answer. Through writing my paper I have learned that endangered species is more than a name, it is a mission in-and-of-itself, a mission to keep safe our wildlife---forever. The earth is home to more than 5.2 billion people, each having certain needs, wants, and desires. The process of consumption dra .....

.... of herself as superior to the natives of Barbados. When her uncle discusses her work for the Proctors, she says that "they want slaves, not such as I. Let them send to Barbados for any of them!" (12). She is prejudiced against these people and her remarks reveal her snobbishness. Finally, Abigail's snobbish character is apparent through her statements to John Proctor about his wife Elizabeth. She says, "Oh, I marval how such a strong man [can be with] such a sickly wife" (23). Abigail obviously thinks highly of herself: she is worthy of Proctor's love, but Elizabeth is not. Abigail shows a character of superiority by her authoritative, prejud .....

.... shaming him to that of nothing but guilt of being alive. It was a common ritual in his OLD household. Then tonight, with the quick flick of a wrist and the glisten of rose red, the shaming ended. The guilt stopped. Then with two more quick and swift movements he finished off what was left to remind him of his past. What would have been witnesses were nothing more than cold and bludgeoned heaps. Ryan lived on the outskirts of the city. Wandering from house to house throughout his childhood he knew not much of the meaning of family. His parents were constantly sending him to foster families for a few weeks at a time then taking him back, .....

.... occurred while she was trying to kill all her, children and it is the reason that two of her children run from her because they fear for their lives. Beloved wishes to consume Sethe, she wants to own Sethe, a relation not unlike that of a master and slave. "I am Beloved and she is mine," (Morrison 211) is one of the more eerie statements in the book. How Beloved traps Sethe is simple, for Sethe "the future was a matter of keeping the past at bay" (Morrison 42) and when her past, Beloved, catches up with her the future is gone and she is enslaved. What's more, Beloved does not intend to allow her slave to go free, "I will not lose her again." (M .....

.... as she would be seen on "Sunday afternoons driving in the yellowed-wheeled buggy and the matched team of bays from the livery stable"2. The ladies in the town thought that this was a disgrace and called a meeting to have the minister talk to Miss Emily. After this attempt did not work, the minister's wife called Miss Emily's cousins to come visit Miss Emily. When Miss Emily 's cousins arrived, people thought that her cousins had convinced her to get married, since Miss Emily had ordered a "complete out fit of men's clothing, including a nightshirt"3. Mean while Miss Emily had gone to see the druggist for some poison. She never told the druggis .....
