In Gene's own way he was fighting his own war because he had to build up all his courage in order to jump from the tree. If Gene had not jumped then he would be inferior to Finny.

.... order to relearn the dance.Torval ,reffering to Nora,says"But Nora dear,you look so exhausted.Have you practiced too hard?"(Act II,1596). She replies to him "No,I haven't practiced at all yet"(Act II,1596).Nora does that beacuse she does not want Torvald to find out about the money she borrowed from Krogstad. Another example that proves Toval's treating Nora as a child is that he does not trust her with money.He thinks that she will weaste the money on some child's things. In act III, After Krogstad threatens to expose Nora,Torvald does not immediately off .....

.... Marlow emphasized the virtue of �gefficiency�h throughout the story because he thought of it as the only way to survive in the wilderness. After seeing the dying natives in the forest of the outer station, Marlow described them as �ginefficient.�h Under �gthe devotion to efficiency,�h incompetent people were excluded from society.

.... He believes that neither the prophets nor the gods could help the town with the Sphinx’s riddle, but that he was more intelligent, and was able to solve the problem on his own.

He has saved the town once before, and he is not willing to see his people fall. He dose everything to find a link to the murderer, and is so persistent, that he make .....

.... in the things of sense the soul cannot re-enter itself as the image of God. By this quote Bonventure is trying to say that humans are being shaped more and more by society than they are by God. In a sense, humans are being led astray by all the ongoing imperfections, which bombard our society today. We tend to immerse ourselves into the problems of the world and forget about God.

It was certainly not his fault that he .....
