.... missing a meal. 'We had to do it naturally,' he went on, 'because we're all getting ready for the war.'" (Knowles 15) Then Finny came up with the Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session where he and Gene had to jump from the tree every night. Gene was always the academically inclines of the two friends and it never occurred to him that he could do anything so perilous. In Gene's own way he was fighting his own war because he had to build up all his courage in order to jump from the tree. If Gene had not jumped then he would be inferior to Finny. In Gene's mind Finny was his enemy because Finny always shined at sports. Gene was alw .....

.... sexual, and racial. Social is also a prejudice too. Many people skip over this word and thank that prejudice is racial or even sexual. People can't help sometime that they are prejudice in social. People do it all the time and don't thank about what they are really saying. For an example is when Scout is confused about why THIS LADY hates Hitler so much because he hated the Jews and had them killed, just for being Jews. Well if you thank about it she is doing the same thing with blacks and she thanks it is different. Why I don't know, but that is a good example in my Apennine. One of the other prejudice things that happen in this boo .....

.... Wife of Bath describes women as greedy, controlling, dishonest creatures. Although it seems contradictory, she has no respect for her body or the rights of women, and is an insult to true feminists everywhere. The commonly used example of the Wife of Bath's so-called "feminism", is the incident in which she rips pages out of her husband's extremely sexist book. He proceeds to hit her in the head, causing her to fall to the floor in pain. This seems like an act of female liberation, but it is far from that. She did not think the horribly sexist stories her husband read to her were untrue. In fact, the stories sounded like something the Wif .....

.... Creoles were French Creole Society descendents of French and Spanish Colonists of the 1700s. They had strong family ties because of Catholicism and were a tight community because they where considered outcasts of Anglo- American society. Clement Eaton says that “the Creoles, to a greater degree then Anglo-Americans, lived a life of sensation and careless enjoyment. They loved to dance, gamble, fish, attend feasts, play on the fiddle and to live without much thought of the morrow.” Eaton 252 Creoles were very lively outgoing people because of their comfortable tight society. Activ .....

.... which Willie is practicing. This microcosm may be seen in different manners and different levels. On page 46, Sam illustrates his idealized scenario of this microcosm on a universal level as he explains to Hally that collisions do not take place at the championships: "And it's beautiful because that is what we want life to be." Sam then goes on to illustrate the real-life scenario on a personal level, explaining interpersonal disagreements as collisions on the ballroom floor, such as collisions among Sam, Willie, Hally, his mother and his father. Expanding this metaphor to the international level, Sam proceeds to talk about how America "bu .....

.... to Bethlehem to witness the end of an era and the birth of a new one. According to the Oxford Dictionary of the Bible, “contrition is a penitent’s spiritual sorrow for the sins he has committed, and it necessarily includes hatred for such sins, as well as the determination to avoid them in the future.� In the first stanza, this “spiritual sorrow� is apparent by the contrast Eliot uses, of the Magi’s difficult journey. In fact, the central focus of criticism has been on the journey; the “cold coming� (line 1) during “the worst time of the year� (line 2), emphasising the climatic statement of the stanza: “A hard time we .....

.... had a hard time proving humility. "you're Beowulf, are you - the same boastful fool who fought a swimming match with Brecca, both of you daring and young and proud, exploring the deepest seas, risking your lives for no reason but the danger? All older and wiser heads warned you not to, but no one could check such pride."(p.39, Beowulf). This quote best describes Beowulf as a child, full of pride and not that good at hiding it. "I fought that beast's last battle, left it floating lifeless in the sea." (p.40 Beowulf). Another quote that showed that in his older age, he had no problem expressing how good he was. A Knight , a hero in the near f .....

.... the two, are what I will be attempting to explore. The first apparent difference between the movie and the short story is that the short story takes place in 2081. In the story the government regulates everything, not just intelligence, but strength and beauty as well, and handicap people appropriately. The strong are forced to wear bags filled with lead balls; beautiful people are forced to wear masks so others would not feel unequal to them in looks. The overly intelligent are forced to wear radio transmitters in their ears, which are tuned to a government station that constantly bombards them with horrible sounds to scramble their thou .....

.... event turned our lives around. As we pulled up to a stop sign, he looked both ways before turning left on to the main street. Without a worry in his head he pressed on the gas pedal and began a left turn. Unfortunately the darkness of the evening prevented him from seeing a huge limousine which was slowly approaching our car. In a matter of seconds, the limousine was in our car. We were pushed to the middle of the road and the car made a half turn. The windows blew up and pieces of glass landed on our faces. The driver’s door was smashed and he flew on top of me, as I hit my head on the door. Blood began dripping from my forehea .....

.... Antigone, Polyneices' sister, rebels against Creon and buries her brother, denouncing the decree as an offense against the "law of God." Polynese, Creon's son, pleads with his father to listen to his citizens and empathize with Antigone's action. However, Creon is determined to make an example of Polyneices and demonstrate his power over the people of the state. Antigone is banished to a stone cave to die alone. Creon's pride came to be his major flaw as demonstrated during the reversal sequence in the play. A blind prophet, Theresies, calls upon Creon and informs him of the doom that would befall him as a result of his actions. .....
