.... He was Soda’s best friend. They both worked at a gas station. They always were the busiest. Maybe it was because Steve knew so much about cars or maybe because Soda could have any girl he wanted. Steve Randle was seventeen years old. He was tall and thin. Then there was Two-Bit Mathews. His real name was Keith and he couldn’t remember Two-Bit was the oldest of the Greasers. He is six feet tall and was very proud of his long sideburns. Two-Bit never stopped making wisecracks or funny remarks. He wasn’t big with the cops. Keith, a.k.a. Two-bit loved to shopli .....

.... of life. As a result of this status, Ab and his family know from the start what the future will hold -- hard work for their landlord and mere survival for them. No hope for advancement prevails throughout the story. Sarty, his brother and the twin sisters have no access to education, as they must spend their time working in the fields or at home performing familial duties. Nutrition is lacking “He could smell the coffee from the room where they would presently eat the cold food remaining from the mid- afternoon meal” (PARA. 55). As a consequence, poor heal .....

.... of all these scrolls that could have existed as separate stories about Odysseus’ travels, his encounters, and how he obtained his status as a hero. Ancient Greece has always been an interest of mine. In 6th grade a teacher that I had know for my whole schooling showed a movie every week. One week we watched “Jason and the Argonaughts”. Ever since then I could never get enough Greek mythology. In freshman year of high school we read the annotated text book version of The Odyssey. Lucky for me, I transferred English classes at the seme .....

.... are riding in will be safely returned and Prospero can be "relieved by prayer" of the audience. All of what Prospero has said is very nice cute, but the most interesting part of this monologue is what Shakespeare himself is saying. "Now that my charms are all o'erthrown, and what strength I have's mine own" means, now my plays are over, and it's no longer my characters speaking. The "Island" or stage Shakespeare is on is now "bare" and it is time for "you" the audience to release Shakespeare and his actors from this play with the "help of [y]our good hands." Shak .....

.... false and no spies turned up. The word “McCarthyism is the unfairly accusing other of disloyalty and subversion.” (DiBacco et all, R47) All this person did was just scare many Americans just like in the Salem Witch trials. I guess that was McCarthy’s crucible, to make Americans think that a large amount of Communists worked for the State Department. Luckily we had a good congress and they didn’t let McCarthy’s ideas spread around. This relates to “The Crucible” by how one man tried to gain power by making false accusations. This is like when Parris saw the gi .....

.... instead of viewing these concepts as fantasy, she viewed them as reality, and later in life, acted as if that was the normal thing to do. Anything different, anything that deviated from her current life appealed to Emma. What was new was romantic, exciting, bold, and adventurous. She perceived Charles to be a character from one of her books when she met him. He was fairly attractive, but most of all, he was a doctor! He was a man of power to the meager peasant that Emma was. To Emma, this was a man who could give her romance. He could satisfy all of her fantasie .....

.... extremely offensive and are rarely used except in science. Huxley uses Mustapha Mond, the World Controller, to portray the vulgarity when he explains the obscenity of life before Utopia to a group of students: And home was as squalid psychically as physically. Psychically, it was a rabbit hole, a midden, hot with the frictions of tightly packed life, reeking with emotion. What suffocating intimacies, what dangerous, insane, obscene relationships between the members of the family group! (37) In an earlier passage, Huxley shows the effects of Mond's .....

.... which the story takes place, certain women try in their own way to rise above the binds of tradition and show feminine power. In The Odyssey, through cunning manipulation and plotting three women stand their ground in individual protests to get what they want; Penelope’s trickery in evading the impatient marriage proposals by suitors, Helen’s deceit over Menelaos during the Trojan War, and finally the control that Nausicaa seems have upon first meeting Odysseus each illustrate power possessed by females of the epic. At the Epic’s beginning the .....
