.... a group striving for the betterment of the Black race, an ideal he reveres. Upon arrival in the Brotherhood, he meets Brother Tarp and Brother Tod Clifton who give him a chain link and a paper doll, respectively. I choose to write about these items because they are symbolic of his struggle in his community fighting for the black people and of his struggle within himself searching for identity. The narrator works hard for the Brotherhood and his efforts are rewarded by being distinguished as the representative of the Harlem district. One of the first p .....

.... the growth of the "absolute monarchy" as the origin of the modern state. Because this growth in absolute and centralized power of the government and the monarchy, this age is called the "Age of Absolutism" (1660-1789), beginning with Louis XIV and ending with the French Revolution. Crises and tragedies primarily motivated absolutism of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Absolute monarchies were originally proposed as a solution to the bloody civil and religious wars erupting as a result of the Reformation. These absolutists argued several important ro .....

.... I love Rome more." (3,2,22-3) -Brutus. This love for Rome is known by the people, and that is why the he is so popular and well respected. Cassius states, "O, he sits high in all the people's hearts…"(1,3,157-60) and Antony asserts Brutus is "The noblest man to live in this tide of times." (3,1,256-7). Brutus is not only seen as a hero by most readers, he is also seen as a hero by the people of Rome up to a certain part of the play. Brutus is the most honourable person in Julius Caesar. How many killers would tell the whole city that they had just co .....

.... who could be expected to crush any remaining liberties of the Romans under his feet. Most of the time, he spoke about himself in the third person which gives an arrogant feeling of Caesar to the reader. This is shown as Cassius spoke to Casca about the upcoming conspiracy. "What trash is Rome, what rubbish and what offal, when it serves for the base matter illuminate so vile a thing as Caesar!" (p.45). Caesar was by no means only shown as a foolish man who thought highly of himself. Caesar's statements about his distrust of Cassius are correct. Caesar has .....

.... as well. They, have always, as least as far as I know, had a special message. A message of love, tranquillity, joy and they represent the harmony of nature itself. In the first stage of the book, we may see how a problem, the earthquake, has made the people in the star loose a vast amount of flowers. They lost some of the tranquillity and joy that had invaded their lives. And when they look for a messenger to go find flowers, they’re talking about re-finding the tranquillity and lack of fear that they wanted. I believe that the burials, actually represent li .....

.... beginning of the play. The outer steps of the castle are crowded with what seem to be peasants who are obviously in different states of peril. When Oedipus exits the castle into the courtyard to confront the peasants the actor playing the role does an excellent job of portraying the cocky swagger and demeanor that Sophocles seemed to bestow upon him on the page. Although we quickly notice that none of the actors are wearing masks, which would have been the case had this been a production that was taking place in the time of the Ancient Greeks, which brings .....

.... feels is the lack of control in his life by spontaneous transformation of a human being into an insect. Humans are at the top of the food chain in the world, and thus are in complete control. In contrast, insects have almost no control over their own destiny because they are small, unintelligent creatures that can be squashed between a human’s thumb and forefinger or destroyed under the sole of a stepping shoe. The first instance of lack of control over his life he encounters deals with the exploitation of his labor. Samsa appears to be a very young .....
