.... the kids. Part of Elizabeth’s frustration comes from the fact that Celia represents much of what Elizabeth doesn't like about herself. She would be happy if Celia reminded her of some better-looking person. But that’s not the case. Her conscious reminds her of similarities between two of them. “I was kind of chunky and wore glasses too, …” (292). She struggles with her fear of becoming the next Celia. "For I knew, deep in my wretched heart, that were it not for Celia I was next in line for humiliation" (292). Her position within the group is unidentified. She just walks home with the rest of the group. After .....

.... be happy throwing a party, she can escape reality: Every time she gave a party she had this feeling of being something not herself, and that everyone was unreal in one way; much more real in another. …it was possible to say things you couldn’t say anyhow else, things that needed an effort; possible to go much deeper. But not for her; not yet anyhow. (Woolf 171) Kramer 2 With Septimus, seeing his best friend Evans die at war has been a major trauma in his life. His wife Rezia must constantly take him away from his reality and have him focus on things not involving war or him thinking of it. Septimus sees beauty in small lifeless thing .....

.... two years of a sentence of fourteen years there. Alex is then chosen by the government to undergo an experimental new "Ludovico’s Technique." In exchange for his freedom, Alex would partake in this experiment that was to cure him of all the evil inside of him and all that was bad. Alex is given injections and made to watch films of rape, violence, and war and the mixture of these images and the drugs cause him to associate feelings of panic and nausea with violence. He is released after two weeks of the treatment and after a few encounters with past victims finds himself at the home of a radical writer who is strongly op .....

.... strange or outdated language used in the text. Often with Shakespeare students find the use of the King’s English confusing and therefore do not understand the piece. Once the terms used are understood, the teacher can ask students to read sections aloud that they may hear how the words flow together. Then two or more students are chosen to act out the section with some minimal movement. This added blocking creates the idea that the dialogue motivates the actions. When doing this type of activity it is best to employ a combination of two different teaching philosophies. One of them is Pragmatism and the other is Idealism. Idealist .....

.... on it because John bet that he could (Page 50). Buck could not have moved the sled if he didn't love John. Manuel shows his love for money by selling Buck, the family dog. "He loved to play Chinese lottery" (Page 2). If he didn't love to play lottery Buck might still live in California. Manuel is the gardener for the family and the first person who sold Buck. Buck shows his love for leadership by fighting with Spitz. "The dominant primortal beast was stong in Buck" (Page 15). If Buck didn't want to be leader Spitz might still be alive because Buck never fought with anyone unless he had to. Spitz was the leader of the pack until .....

.... use around the world. Relying heavily upon the suggestive power of language, the poem vacillates beneath the surface between nostalgia, and something darker and more desolate at the end. Rimbaud places an emphasis upon the symbol as a means to evoke the mystery of language itself, rather than to refer to some subjective consciousness or some objective, material world. The symbol is used as a point of convergence for these unspoken things and remains deliberately ambiguous but resonant. The images created through the poet's retelling of experiences use symbols to convey their emotions. It is in the closing stanzas of Rimbaud's poem, howeve .....

.... When the community that had served as her strength withdrew its support, because they were angry and had taken offense to the "uncalled-for-pride" Baby flaunted when her grandchildren and daughter-in-law were finally together, she no longer felt the support (137). As if the weakness Baby was suffering from their disapproval was not enough, the family was hit with another blow, when Sethe was imprisoned. As Sethe is being taken away by the sheriff, the community who was already looking unfavorably upon the family's pride, asked the questions: "Was her head a bit too high? Her back a little too straight?" (152). These questions foresha .....

.... biased, sacrilegious and amoral attention-seekers as they proclaim the evolutionists to be. However, their chosen doctrine cannot be overlooked, as I myself am deeply devoted to it’s teachings. Brady and others like him fight from the backbone of Faith. I don’t believe in the literal deciphering of the Bible, but that it is a book of ideals that we must trust in it’s veracity. It isn’t meant to be explained! Ironically, the thing that people are the most hungry for, meaning, is the one thing that science hasn’t been able to give them. Enter God, the means that mankind has clung to for purpose. If there isn’t a .....

.... is comparable to the role of Maxwell¡¦s Demon. ¡§As the Demon sat and sorted his molecules into hot and cold, the system was said to lose entropy. But somehow the loss was offset by the information the Demon gained about what molecules were where¡¨ (p.105). Oedipa¡¦s purpose in the novel, besides executing a will, is to find meaning in a life dominated by assaults on people¡¦s perceptions through the use of drugs and the muting of communications. Entangled in this chaos, Oedipa has to do what the Maxwell¡¦s Demon does: sort useful facts from useless ones. Pynchon involves his audience in that they also have to interpret .....

.... in the hands of a certain “Mr. Jones� who in recent times has taken up alcohol consumption. Mr.Jones is parallel to Tsar Nicholas II as suggested by his antipathy toward his people (the farm animals, in Jones’ situation) and his denial of the current bureaucratic state. Before his abdication in 1917 (as is parallel to Jones’ escapement from his spiteful farm of animals), the Tsar is known to have partaken in excess alcohol consumption along with his men. It was for this same reason that Jones has lost control of the farm, which initiates the ideal of revolution to the animals. Old Major stirs the other animals by showing his .....
