.... to be an omen that I would never get caught if I broke house arrest tonight. I need to tell you that Anna has never really showed any interest in short, chubby Martin, but I can’t break that news to him. I lie and tell him that we’re in, when what I mean is, I’m in. Really, Anna with her tall beanpole-like figure isn’t anything to get too excited about. Her shoulder length brown hair is always pulled back so tightly it looks as if her forehead is about to crack. "So, how do you want to do it?" Martin asks me. "Well, seeing as how neither one of us has a car, w .....

.... to discuss the plans that he has developed to remedy a situation that is brewing with Young Fortinbrau. Claudius demonstrates great strategic planning skills by diverting Young Fortinbrau’s revenge on Denmark and it’s citizens. The Fortinbrau issue helps Claudius to prove to the court that he is “most immediate to the throne”. Claudius also takes advantage of this opportunity for his own self-promotion. Claudius had successfully gained the loyalty and respect of the court, his Queen and the state of Denmark. However, Claudius h .....

.... only an error, but also a detriment to the quality of life in this country. There has been a public outcry to rectify the situation created by the ignorance of our ancestors. However, in seeking to address a situation created by the human compulsion to control nature, it is crucial to discern how much human interference is necessary. Human control must be tempered by respect and restraint. Programs designed for the protection and restoration of wildlife must reflect deference for the natural order rather than dominance over it. The consequences of human acti .....

.... arises when Krebs tries to return from a simplistic lifestyle of war, to a much more complicated domestic lifestyle. "Ironically, Krebs is disillusioned less by the war than by the normal peacetime world which the war had made him to see too clearly to accept" (Burhans 190). Krebs seeks refuge from this disillusion by withdrawing from society and engaging himself in individual activities. A typical day for Krebs consists of going to the library for a book, which he would read until bored, practicing his clarinet, and shooting pool in the middle of the da .....

.... sensibilities were deadened. As dramatic and unhearted as it may sound, that is precisely what Mr. Gradgrind wished to accomplish. In my opinion, however, he was not an unkind man at all. He believed absolutely that he was doing a good deed. He was affectionate in his way; but he studiously repressed all forms of spontaneous affection and as his children grew up, it came to be realized that he was not in sympathetic touch with them. This was especially apparent with Mr. Gradgrind's two older children, Louisa and Tom. Tom became morose and discontented, whil .....

.... as no one could entirely understand what the attraction was. Even though it seemed like a strange and complicated friendship, Finny and Gene developed a strong bond. Unfortunately a strong bond could not withstand Gene's insecurities, as he faltered in Finny's unknown pressures of conforming. Another important theme is conformity. Conformity refers to the choices young people make regarding going along with the crowd and pursuing their own paths. They can either give in to peer pressure or be secure with their own individuality. Gene succumbs to .....

.... of her own race. He also gave her an appreciation of the black American culture. She had also learned from Hughes that in spite of obstacles, black people remained a powerful force in America (Cheney 46-53). Although the Hansberry family was comfortably settled as middle-class economic status, they were still subject to the racial segregation and discrimination characteristic of the period, and they were most active in opposing it (Smith 147). Lorraine’s writing career was started in the area of magazines. She was writing for Paul Robeson’s Freedom maga .....
