.... day. We are able to see Rachel’s thoughts as she ponders why when you turn eleven, you do not feel eleven, but rather all the previous years together “like pennies in a tin Band-Aid box.” The embarrassment Rachel feels is made apparent through the use of point of view, when her teacher makes her take the lost sweater in front of the whole class. Even if the ugly sweater with red plastic buttons and a stretched out collar and sleeves were hers, she would not admit it since “it was maybe a thousand years old,” Rachel informs the reader .....

.... he wants. Reuven and Danny grow older and they get into the same college. Due to Reuven's father support for the creation of a Jewish state, Danny's father, who thinks a Jewish state can only be created when the Messiah comes, forbids Danny to speak to Reuven. This goes on for a while before Danny's father accepts that a Jewish states is in the best interest of Jews everywhere and allows them to be friends again. In an emotional lecture, Danny's father finally acknowledges Danny's dream and allows him to pursue a career of being a psychologist. .....

.... the rural south can cause ones barrier against it to finally collapse. In this story, Thomas Wolfe uses the repeated symbol of the cat to show that Dick Prosser was like a caged animal that wanted to lash out at the world, and when pushed to the edge, the symbolic cage opened, and he was set loose. The use of Man-versus-Society conflict is also evident in the fact that Prosser lashed out against the whole society and not at one part in particular. In the story "Paul's Case," Willa Cather tries to show that not sharing ones personal feelings can be destructive .....

.... scientific view has to do with Newton, and with biological determinism. Although both stories do use both aspects of determinism, it is usually the story from 1809 using the scientific determinism whereas in the present day, they use more of the religious view of determinism. In the first story, a scientific view of determinism is shown through Septimus and Thomasina in order to introduce to the reader the basic ideas on determinism and science. ³No more you can, time must needs run backward, and since it will not, we must stir our way onward mixing .....

.... stand I then,/That have father killed, a mother stained,...2". He is asking himself what kind of a person he is if he can allow his father to be murdered and his mother to be married so soon after his father's death to his uncle. This shows us that he is pitying himself and is putting himself down. Yet another example of his emotions running wild are seen in his first soliloquy: ...She married. O, most wicked speed, to post with such dexterity to incestuous sheets! It is not, nor it cannot come to good. But break my .....

.... phenomenon. There can be other truths – different stories about the world – each of which it may be proper to believe. I think its quite narcissistic, not to mention egotistical, to think that we know the totality of science to the extent that we think we’re qualified to make such conjectures about the true nature of the world in which we live. Therefore, I consider realism to be an erroneous approach to science. Before determining the validity of instrumentalism, I think we must look at history to help us determine science’s overal .....

.... these stories. In the Stone Angel, Laurence uses the color white many times throughout her novel. The first time the color is mentioned, it is used to describe the stone angel that sat at the top of the hill above town. Hagar did not understand at that time how valuable it was to her or what it meant, but she knew that it was respected. Another time in the book white is used is when Auntie Doll is described. Although she was just hired help, she symbolized a mother figure for Hagar when she was a child. When described, she seen as widow whom wore a white la .....

.... were really nice people. Johan was a farmer, Dientje, and Opoe (Johan’s mother). They were supposed to stay there for at least a week because Mr. Hannink thought a German followed him. Annie’s legs were getting crooked and couldn’t walk that much so she had to exercise. She really hated to do that. After a year and a half they haven’t even seen how the house looked. And Sini really wanted a tan. So Johan let them go out. He was going to pick them up around dinner. But then Dientje’s sister came and they couldn’t get in. Annie .....
