.... bids farewell to his young wife "Faith, as [she] was aptly named" (211). When she " …thrust her own pretty head into the street, letting the wind play with the pink ribbons of her cap" we associate the purity of "Faith" and the "pink ribbons" as a sign of the innocence and goodness of the town he is leaving behind (211). As he continues "on his present evil purpose" he sets off at sunset to enter the forest (212). A place "darkened by all the gloomiest trees," unknown territory, and a place where "there may be a devilish Indian behind every t .....

.... matter how women appeared in those days as how it does today. They seem to think that it's evil to look at oneself in the mirror, and that it's forbidden for a woman to look at her own image. "Life had taught her to think of herself as a very homely person, yet something in her refused to believe that entirely, would not be convinced by any amount of logical evidence. So each night she would wonder what she looked like"(Pg.36). She knew what she really looked like, but her conscious was telling her different. It was like she had something in her that was .....

.... Macbeth, The news of thy success; and when he reads Thy personal venture in the rebel’s fight, His wonders and his praises do contend Which should be thine or his. Silenced with that, In viewing o’er the rest o’th’ selfsame day, He finds thee in the stout Norweyan ranks, Nothing afeard of what thyself didst make, Strange images of death. As thick as hail Came post with post, and every one did bear Thy praises in his kingdom’s great defence, And poured then down before him." [I.iii.89-99]. Macbeth, like any other man, had succumbed to some form of temptati .....

Immediately after reading , one can compare the ritual, in the story, to some of today’s barbaric traditions in a new point of view. Hazing is a tradition that has been around forever. Some peopl .....

.... any potential benefits of such a system of indemnity and requite. The point of the follow critique is not to say that Africans were not mistreated, nor that they are not worthy of reparations, but that perhaps reparations are not an adequate solution to this situation, and indeed will only serve to worsen. Africa is a continent in dire straits. European colonization and colonialism damaged the native structure and society - some might say that this simply proves that European man caused, and ought to pay for, the damages done to Africa and her people. .....

.... very exciting time to be a . The aristocratic society decided which parts of Chinese culture would be integrated into Japan. The new centralized Japanese government was modeled after China's. Although Japans government was modeled after China's it had some very distinct differences. The Japanese seemed to modify Chinese concepts and make them unique to Japan.

.... whole world I cannot touch. At the white, tight Drum of my sleeping couch Photographs visit me- My wife, dead and flat, in 1920 furs, Mouth full of pearls, Two girls As flat as she, who whisper "We're your daughters."

.... invited him to come live with them in Concord. In Walden Thoreau wrote, “Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” Thoreau always did march to a different drummer. “The Con-cord community, already scandalized by Thoreau’s unconven-tional way of life, ridiculed his lack of ambition and material success. However, Thoreau flourished with Emerson .....
