.... is almost the queen of them because she appears very powerful and strong. This interpretation of what they see and think of the girls is definitely not who they really are. This is discovered at the end of the story when the girls are checking out and the owner of the store comes up to them and talks with them. He says that the girls need to leave the store and are not allowed to come in again unless they are appropriately dressed. The cashier automatically assumes that the girl, queeny, is going to react in a powerful way, but instead she blushes and looks very embarrassed about the situation. This shocks the cashier, because what he h .....

.... this institution. Families were sold off like pieces of furniture at an auction. Their histories together were forgotten. Family heritages were lost.

The mother-daughter relationship between Sethe and her mother starts the cycle of perceived abandonment, betrayal and recovery inherent in the novel. Sethe is the daughter of a slave woman that suffe .....

.... see the vulnerable women on board the lifeboats first. I don't believe this terrible incident has any relation to my experiences because I have never experienced being on a cruise ship and then suddenly realized that my worry free vacation is going to turn out to be a horrifying nightmare. Walter Lord writes, "I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern ship building has gone beyond that." (Pg.21) I chose this excerpt said by Captain Smith because it proves how people can be so ignorant when it comes to dealing with mother nature. The "Un .....

.... Jones. Snowball also spread a lot of lies around about Napoleon. Events in Summary: What happened first: The first thing that happened in my book Animal Farm was that the animals over took the Manor Farm. The "revolution," as they called it, was achieved with great ease. Jones had gotten so drunk at a bar that he did not get home until noon and then went to sleep until late that evening. The animal had gone unfed that whole day. Then one of the cows could not stand it any more and broke the door to the store-shed. She and the rest of the cows started eating the feed in the shed. This commotion awoke Jones, and he and his .....

.... is attracted to Mattie because she is the antithesis of Zeena. "While Mattie is young, happy, healthy, and beautiful like the summer, Zeena is seven years older than Ethan, bitter, ugly and sickly cold like the winter" (Lewis 310). Zeena's strong, dominating personality emasculates Ethan, while Mattie's feminine, effervescent youth makes Ethan feel like a "real man." Contrary to his characteristic passiveness, he defies Zeena in Mattie's defence, "You can't go, Matt! I won't let you! She's [Zeena's] always had her way, but I mean to have mine now -" (Wharton 123). To Ethan, Mattie is radiant and energetic. He sees possibilities in her .....

.... him. Hephaestus, their son, restores harmony between them. Book II: Zeus sends a dream to Agamemnon to persuade him to lead his army into battle to make him aware of his need of Achilles and his troops. Agamemnon, while hoping to be able to take Troy without Achilles' help, is conscious of the low morale of his army resulting from the plague and from Achilles' defection. He therefore resorts to a stratagem of reverse psychology. He will propose to his soldiers that they return home. He communicates this plan to the chieftains in council, with instructions that they should prevent the men's return, if the proposal is accepted. He assembl .....

.... marriage a secret. If their parents discovered their secret, they would have made their children's lives miserable. Romeo and Juliet would not have been able to see each other. Both of these families were very stubborn and there was hardly any thing that would have made them become friends. In the prologue we learn that the only way the "strife" could be ended was by the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. "Doth with their death bury their parent's strife". (Romeo & Juliet, Prologue, l.8) Neither the Montagues or the Capulets would have accepted the marriage. Keeping the marriage a secret caused Romeo and Juliet to tur .....

.... to the different colors (black, white, and red). Every “talk-story” has a place and meaning and every character is presented in a way to clarify Kingston's motives for writing. His model also presents seven evaluative criteria to which my interpretation applies: consistency, proportionateness, adequacy, completeness, depth, sensitivity, and integratedness. Of these, my interpretation best fulfills the evaluative criteria of consistency, completeness, and integratedness. It is evident that the narrator, Kingston, has many conflicts with what is being taught at home and what is experienced in the American society. Through t .....
