.... see Frank confronted by Rita whom is a pupil wanting nothing more or less than a total education e.g. Frank asks, "What can I teach you?" and Rita replies, "Everything." Later on she seems to think that she has acquired and learnt everything. "I've got what you got Frank, and you don't like it." At the beginning he finds himself faced with an unexpectedly fresh and uncluttered mind. Rita tests Frank's intellectual talents to the full, by requiring constant justification and explanation of statements that would usually be taken for granted and accepted in a con .....

.... his ugliness, his malfeasance. “The boy thought that there was something wrong with him. All through his life - even when he was a great man with the world at his feet - he was to feel this gap: something at the bottom of his heart of which he was aware, and ashamed, but which he did not understand.”(p.315) As a result of this fear of himself, Lancelot trained to become a knight. The knighthood, a bastion of chivalry and nobleness, would be the only way to counter his immoral soul. Secondly, Lancelot lived a baneful existence as a boy. He was kept away fro .....

.... a contemplation on life. The first sign of any kind of tension is in the first six lines. The ladder, which points “toward heaven,” represents the speaker’s climb through life toward death and heaven and the barrel and apples left on the tree represent things he regrets having or not having done during his lifetime. But in line six he says that he is “done with apple-picking now,” which sounds as if he’s saying that what’s done is done and he must accept it. It is almost as if he is having a conflict within himself as to whether he should be content with hi .....

.... an example we see naturalism’s clearest alteration of previous understandings of gender: its refiguration of domestic spaces, and hence, domestic identity according to the narrative of repetitive work and compulsion that had once served to distinguish public life from a sentimentary understood home" [Fleissner 59]. "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a fictionalized account of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s own postpartum depression. Gilman was a social critic and feminist who wrote prolifically about the necessity of social and sexual equality, particularly abou .....

.... Hamlet out of his mind, or was he pretending to be crazy? Did anyone realize what Hamlet’s dilemma, such as Ophelia, the King, and the Queen? What was his delay? Could it be that Hamlet was not so much afraid of killing the king, but hurting his mother, mentally, emotionally, after the death of her King and her abrupt marriage to Claudius. Was Hamlet afraid, that maybe the ghost of his father wasn’t really his father’s ghost at all, in that it was a trick of the devil? Hamlet’s over analysis is what turns out to be the reason for s .....

.... flashy illuminating polyester fabric gleams with a lust of shiny plastic coating. The tie is milky colored all around and at the center a cherry colored circle. However, as creative as it may seem, the tie is indifferent to any color other than ivory or ebony. Thus, a snow- white suit with beaming bleach-white colored shoes is necessary in order to pair with this particular tie. History has taught that fashion is something that relates to the time period. As the people evolve from the seventies they realize that clothes could not be outrageous or it would decease as a fad. This bland tie fits .....

.... to fend for themselves when Stephen’s father Donald, a Merchant Marine captain, left one day, to go the store to buy a pack of cigarettes, and never returned. His fathers leaving had a big indirect impact on King’s life. In the autobiographical work Danse Macabre, recalls how his family life was altered: "After my father took off, my mother, struggled, and then landed on her feet." My brother and I didn’t see a great deal of her over the next nine years. She worked a succession of continuous low paying jobs." Stephen’s first outlooks on life wer .....

.... could lead to reform of unjust laws practiced by the government. He voiced civil disobedience as "An expression of the individual's liberty to create change" (Thoreau 530). Thoreau felt that the government had established order that resisted reform and change. "Action from principle, the perception and the performance of right, changes things and relations; it is essentially revolutionary" (Thoreau 531). Thoreau refused to pay the poll tax because the money was being used to finance the Mexican War. Not only was Thoreau against the war itself but the war was o .....
