.... precious belongings like her clothes. A suitcase of clothes would have been suitable for the trip, but she cannot part with her clothes, so she brings almost all of them. She doesn’t know how to walk. When Charles and Hal ask her to get off the sled and hike along, she refuses and has to be carried off and dropped. When Charles and Hal set up camp, they have to go back and pick up Mercedes, who thinks she should be carried to Dawson City. Charles and Hal shouldn’t have brought her along, all she was a hindrance. Jack London creates a good descri .....

.... trait that was well recognized was being a physically strong person. Beowulf demonstrates that being strong is his most notable trait. As seafarers used to say, I remember, who took the gifts of the Geat people in token of our friendship- that in his hand's grasps had the strength of other thirty men. (p. 63). Not only did he have this rare gift, but used it all the time to protect his people. During the fight between Beowulf and Grendal, he decided to make the fight fair by not using a sword since Grendal was a terrible sword player, therefore Beowulf wr .....

.... manacles are not real. By this I mean that they are created in the mind of those people whom the speaker sees on the streets. Those hopeless and depressing thoughts, in turn imprison the people whom the speaker sees on the street. When the speaker says that he can hear the "mind-forged manacles" he doesn’t mean that he can literally hear the mind forged manacles but that he can hear the cries of the people which show their mind-forged manacles. In the second stanza, the speaker focuses on two specific occupations, the chimney sweeper and the soldier. The word b .....

.... inside schools today. As the Scapegoat they place the blame on television, violent movies, and video games. Theorists and psychologists say that the harsh and abrasive nature of movies like the Matrix and Rambo are absorbed into the maturing mind of adolescence and are seen as fact. As is the case in Don Quixote where our chivalric hero takes arms after reading one to many romance novels. Every one sees the irony of Don Quixote, and enjoys it in its more obvious forms. This absurd old gentleman, who tries to put his antiquated ideas into action in a busy .....

.... ritual action very seriously-especially the most simple and primitive rituals of home, or private one that comes from repeated performance of an action of love’,(Old Phoenix’s down the ).(Vande Kieft 70) 2 I believe the conflicts were put in the story to show us the inner feeling of Phoenix. She was able to endure hardships and stay focused on the task at hand. This tells us while she was growing up she over came many obstacles.

.... who praised the people who struggled against the Russian autocracy. His ideas on the torture of animals by Man represent Marxism. The first step of the revolution was the corruption of Mr. Jones, the irresponsible farm owner who lacked leadership. When the animals are left unfed one night, they help themselves to the feeding bins so they will not starve. Mr. Jones tries to stop them but he can not overpower the animals, and soon Mr. Jones, his wife, and all his men are driven right out of the farm. Mr. Jones is representing Czar Nicholas II. Believing f .....

.... conformity is something that can be seen in all facets of life, and is almost unavoidable. I, personally, conform blindly without thinking all the time. For example, when I'm getting dressed in the morning I sometimes catch myself wondering if the outfit I picked out will be "cool enough", subconsciously trying to fit in. Another, more important, example is the problem of drinking and drug use with high school-aged kids. Most kids just want to fit in and will do whatever is considered cool to feel like they are "normal", even if they hate the taste of beer. .....

.... do this, lacking any evidence but his own suspicions? Would a "good" man wish his own brother-in-law dead when no one could even testify to his guilt? Would a "good" man threaten a timid shepherd with pain and death merely because he was hesitant to reveal the harsh realities of ' life? ' tale of meeting Laius is another troubling point. In Colonus he states in plain terms that King Laius would have murdered him had he not killed Laius. In his initial speech to Jocasta on Laius' death he tells a different story. It sounds as though he provoked, or at least .....
