.... roles. I shall explore how most men develop what they believe to be important to their gender role in society, and draw upon examples from my own life, focusing on the aforementioned topics of athletics and women. Most men exhibit characteristics, which are not all that far from basic animal behavior, especially when you take away their sense of usefulness. Men, who were formerly known as the protectors of America, took pride and a sense of manhood form this title. It gave them confidence in themselves and it left them with a general sense of well-being. Wi .....

.... 10.) The Friar, being a religious person, uses his power to benefit for his own greed. This is one example of the corrupted Church. It is clear that the Monk is found to be one of the most underhanded religious figures on the pilgrimage to Canterbury. Chaucer makes forceful insults in his character explication. “The Rule of good St. Benet or St. Maur/ As old and strict he tended to ignore” (Chaucer 7.) A monk is supposed to have a strong authority in the Church, but Mueller 2 Chaucer explains that he breaks the written laws and precedents s .....

.... duke steps aside for the negotiation of an alliance. The more the duke aims to cover his traits the more apparent they became. The duke did not intend for his arrogance to be shown as much as it was. The poem had an arrogant tone. He made a point to put emphasis on himself or “I.” The extra comment “since none puts by the curtain I have drawn for you, but I” was not required. He felt the “gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name” should not be equal to lesser gifts from others. The one trait that was the most apparent was his possessiveness. The first line sums it up with, “That’s my last Duchess pain .....

.... wrong. The Old Masters don't exactly have to represent people but I believe Auden is referring to the chorus of Oedipus. The chorus knows all about suffering and they know it shouldn't be. This poem is also written poorly because people don't deserve a well written poem. People don't notice the problems because people don't care. They don't get the point to the story about The Fall of Icarus because they don't care. Last a whole generation died in WWII because people don't care. In the painting The Fall of Icarus the "ploughman" and the "delicate ship" did no .....

.... grave, and fights with Laertes in her grave. He professes "I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers/Could not, with all their quantity of love,/ Make up my sum" [Act V, scene I, lines 250-253], during the fight with Laertes in Ophelia's grave, but he tells her that he never loved her, when she returns his letters and gifts, while she was still alive. Hamlet subtly hints his awareness of his dissolving sanity as he tells Laertes that he killed Polonius in a fit of madness [Act V, scene II, lines 236-250] Once Ophelia meets Hamlet and speaks with him her love ab .....

.... better grade, there will be another person who becomes more enlightened to the facts and not the fiction of black life in America. In the act of improving my mind, I am not only helping myself but furthering the cause for complete equality throughout the nation. As part of America's black youth, I must grow up in a world of racism, no matter what supposed "huge steps" have been made. It is up to me not to use this as an excuse but as an obstacle to surmount. In my lifetime I will be faced with prejudice which may hinder my progress. This opposition must .....

.... and he is essentially the horse pulling Pozzo's carriage in a relationship that seems cruel and domineering. Yet Lucky is strangely compliant. In explaining Lucky's behavior, Pozzo says, "Why he doesn't make himself comfortable? Let's try and get this clear. Has he not the right to? Certainly he has. It follows that he doesn't want to...He imagines that when I see how well he carries I'll be tempted to keep him on in that capacity...As though I were short of slaves. Despite his miserable condition, Lucky does not seem to desire change. Perhaps he is h .....

.... pouring eastward" (401). This, the first sentence of the story, "fixes the sensation of a train ride through a kinesthetic detail, and that detail also supplies a theme that the rest of the story will develop" (Bergon 95). The Pullman train is carrying Marshal Jack Potter and his Eastern bride back to Yellow Sky. The Marshall's role in the affairs of his town has been affected and changed by his literal marriage to the East. The Marshall is only beginning to realize the effect his arrival on the town will have. The train car is the perfect symbol of the East m .....
