.... fire escape, a symbol that has a different meaning and function for each character. For Tom, it is a means of escape from fire, not the type of fire that was considered in its building, but “the slow and implacable fires of human desperation.� This is especially true of Tom's apartment. His mother, devastated after her daughter Laura's failure to cope in business college, becomes obsessed with finding her a gentleman caller so that she can marry and be well supported. When this caller finally comes, and it seems like it was meant to be, as they dance and kiss, he announces he is engaged, and dashes their hopes. The ever-fragile Laura, te .....

.... same scene she describes her voyage: "They told me to take a streetcar named Desire, and then transfer to one called Cemeteries and ride six blocks and get off at Elysian Fields" (Quirino 63). Taken literally this does not seem to add much to the story. However, if one investigates Blanche's past one can truly understand what this quotation symbolizes. Blanche left her home to join her sister, because her life was a wreck.

This “desire� is the driving force, the .....

.... are differnt than us. They made me realize that I could learn something from how to treat people who are differnt than me. What I also liked about it was the way they never stopped trying to reach their dream. This made me think that if they could work hard for there dream why can't I. It showed me that it does not matter were you come from or what you do, it is okay to dream and work as hard as you can to reach it . For all it shows for friendship and loyalty it also shows how sometimes you have to do things you never thought you would do. For example in the end when George is forced to shoot Lennie in the head you would never have thoug .....

.... then in an earthly hell of being slaves. I believe that from Sethe was justified in her actions. Slavery is a very harsh and horrible way to live, and living in chains and without freedom is not living as a human should. Slavery degraded African Americans from humans, to that of animals. They were not treated with any respect, or proper care. Even modern day criminals, those that have murdered large numbers of people are treated more humanly then the average slave ever was. The life that the children would of lived would of been one of complete servitude, they would of never of known what it was like to live on their own and make their own .....

.... a better world. A spirit of social reform characterized the political ideology of Enlightenment philosophers. While Voltaire’s Candide is heavily characterized by the primary concerns of the Enlightenment, it also criticizes certain aspects of the movement. It attacks the idea that optimism, which holds that rational thought can inhibit the evils perpetrated by human beings. Voltaire did not believe in the power of reason to overcome contemporary social conditions. In Candide, Voltaire uses Pangloss and his ramblings to represent an often humorous characterization of the “typical� optimist. Of Pangloss, Voltaire writes, “He pr .....

.... to the bone. “I went on. I thought, by myself--� The madness came into his eyes again. “I thought I might kill� In this quote from Jack, He shows his desire to kill, alone. It also shows that from the beginning, Jack had to kill, and it was driving him crazy not to kill. All that Jack could do while stuck on the island was think about killing, talk about killing, and actually killing. That was his first evil trait. The second evil trait found in the savagery of Jack Merridew is unnecessary stealing. The two characters that he really stole from are Ralph and Piggy. From Ralph, Jack stole the boy followers, respect, and .....

.... statistics that have been compiled for '' are alarming. This is evident considering: fifty percent of the Earth's species will have vanished inside the next 100 years; mankind is using almost half of the energy available to sustain life on the planet, and this figure will grow as population jumps in the next 50 years from 6 billion to approximately 10 billion. Now, with the use of satellite imagery of much of the world's surface, doubts have been laid to rest about whether such alarming statistics are of real concern. The answer is beyond a reasonable doubt that at the current rate of destruction, tropical forests for example, will be re .....
