Each embryo is then bottled, labelled and sent down the conveyor belt to the "Social Predestination Room". It is here that they are given a caste designation (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Epsilon), carded into the main card index and stored. It is here that they are "sexed". Thirty percent of the female embryos are allowed to progress normally (to maintain the supply of initial ova). The rest of the female embryos are given a large dose of male hormone that renders them physically female in all ways, but sterile.
It is also here that their caste d .....

she contradicts others, even Jesus. For in the Bible it states that Jesus “
Spak in repreve of the Samaritan:/‘Thou hast yhad five housbondes,' quod

Despite this quote from the holy writ, the Wife states that ther are no
other arguments “Eek wel I woot he [Jesus] saide that myn housbonde/Sholde
lete fader and moder and take me,/But of no nombre mencion made he [Jesus]-

Fahrenheit 451: A World With No Books
Words: 710 - Pages: 3.... in one place.
Fahrenheit 451 had many examples of good writing techniques that made it
a good novel. One technique that Bradbury did a good job of using was
description. He described things specifically using outstanding similes and
personifications. One example is how he mentioned the fire hose. He called it
"the great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world." (Bradbury
3) This made the reader not only visualize the hose but get a feel for the mood
about the firemen at that time. Another example of good description is how he
described the physical appearance of the firemen. "Their charcoal hair and
their soot-colored bro .....

Canterbury Tales: Who Is The Narrator?
Words: 1953 - Pages: 8.... just hyperbole. What isn't hyperbole, however, is his caution before the Miller's Tale. He acknowledges that his audience might not want to hear what he has to say because he asks them if they want to listen to his tale.
Besides being a poet who both recites his work and writes it down, the narrator is also a pilgrim. He says it clearly: "in that seson on a day, In Southwerk at the Tabard as I lay Redy to wenden on my pilgrymage" (1). But the fact that he is a pilgrim gives no clue to what he does in real life; beggars and kings alike could be pilgrims.
So we know the narrator not by his vocation, but by his avocations: writer and pilgrim. .....

Words: 725 - Pages: 3.... of the Trial
The Prosecution's strongest witness was the alleged victim, Mayella Ewell.
Ms. Ewell stated under oath that the defendant, Tom Robinson, was in fact
the person who raped her. However, there were several discrepancies in the
testimony that she provided under questioning and cross examination. The
defendants lawyer, Atticus Finch, tried to capitalize on the contradictory
statements made by Ms. Ewell. He questioned the witness using a variety of
techniques and seemed to receive less than uniform answers to the same
questions that were asked in a different manner. At times the witness
appeared confused and became frustrated a .....

Catcher In The Rye: Holden And His "Phony" Family
Words: 1276 - Pages: 5.... way he
talks about or to each gives you some idea of whether he thinks they are
"phony" or normal. A few of his accounts make it more obvious than others
to discover how he classifies each family member.
From the very first page of the novel, Holden begins to refer to
his parents as distant and generalizes both his father and mother
frequently throughout his chronicle. One example is: "…my parents would
have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything personal about them.
They're quite touchy about anything like that, especially my father.
They're nice and all – I'm not saying that – but they're also touchy as
hell" .....

The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn

peaceful place where Huck can revert to examine any predicament he might
find himself in: "They went off, and I got aboard the raft, feeling bad and
low…Then I thought a minute, and says to myself, hold on,- s'pose you'd a
done right and give Jim up; would you felt better than you do now? No, says
I, I'd feel bad…" (p.127). Only a few weeks with Jim and still feeling
great ambivalence, Huck returns to the river to think. Twain tries here to
tell the reader how strong the "mob" really is, and only when totally alone
is Huck able to make the morally correct decision. .....

Character Analysis Of Iago In

Othello takes every word Iago says like it is truth, and whenever he does question Iago, Iago's quick wits keep him uncovered by weaving all his lies together. Iago was capable of bringing Othello into killing his own wife without ever have Othello question his wife or anyone else. In Othello's mind, Iago was so trust worthy that anyone elses word would not be truth, and all of Othello's faith was placed in Iago. Iago calls himself trust worthy in Act II Scene I Line 196, Iago is quoted saying "As honest as I am", which everyone knows is far from true, but Iago is still capable .....
