.... success of the new regiment. Henry started to realize after a few days of marching, that their regiment was just wandering aimlessly, going in circles, like a vast blue demonstration.

.... example of good role modeling is Huck's faithfulness to those he loves and cares for. Huck lies to protect Jim on several occasions. Lying is not the best thing, but to Huckleberry, the truth is not always a black and white issue. He is faithful to his friends and chooses friendship instead. He knows that Jim's family needs him. In today's language, Huckleberry's reaction to Jim's situation would reflect what Spock of Star Trek says, “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.� An illustration of another positive side of Huck shows us that he has a good and true heart, and the best intentions even though they may not tu .....

.... of Anglo-Saxon England was to take place in a relatively short period of time, but this was not because of the success of the Augustinian effort. Indeed, the early years of this mission had an ambivalence which shows in the number of people who hedged their bets by practicing both Christian and Pagan rites at the same time, and in the number of people who promptly apostatized when a Christian king died. There is certainly no evidence for a large-scale conversion of the common people to Christianity at this time. Augustine was not the most diplomatic of men, and managed to antagonize many people of power and influence in Britain, not leas .....

.... used nautical terms in his everyday conversations. Even aboard ship, if one did not know that he was the captain, he could easily be taken for some royal of the king's that is being transported from one place to another. As Melville points out, “He had seen much service, been in various engagements, always acquitting himself as an office mindful of the welfare of his men, but never tolerating an infraction of discipline; thoroughly versed in the science of his profession, and intrepid to the verge of temerity, though never injudiciously so.� In fact, his downfall is directly caused by his never tolerating an infraction of disciplin .....

.... The social mores that suggested a person should marry out of duty rather than love ultimately led to the development of Bronte’s characters. Catherine Earnshaw is an excellent example of how negative it can be for one to marry out of duty, rather than out of love. Catherine had loved Heathcliff for many years, but the domestic norms forced her to marry Edgar Linton because he was an acceptable suitor. Although she loved Heathcliff, he still remained an unattainable husband because he did not live up to the domestic standards of what a husband should be. He lacked a family background, wealth, and an ideal appearance that led C .....

.... respect for him, and Gregor had to work to pay off the family debts. That is an example of Gregor’s father’s control over his life and Kafka’s situation was similar. He eventually was forced to become a lawyer, whereas what Kafka wanted was a literary degree. Franz Kafka made his character, Gregor, transform into an insect in the story.

Since his family treats the insect like an outcast, that must be how Franz felt about the treatment that his own family gave him. .....
