.... to that is the same devices used to show all of the wonder and greatness in life can also be used to show to many hardships and painful truths we must endure, such as violence and gory injustices: "Then some one hit the drunkard a great blow alongside the head with a flail and he fell back, and lying on the ground, he looked up at the man who had hit him and then shut his eyes and crossed his hands on his chest, and lay there beside Don Anastasio as though he were asleep. The man did not hit him again and he lay there and he was still there when they picked up Don Anastasio and put him with the others in the cart that hauled them all ov .....

.... that time challenged the ideas of religion, crime, sexuality, chauvinism and over all social controversies(Brown 16). Queen Victoria influenced the literary age herself. She loved to read and she was educated in the finest schools in Great Britain(Fraiser 278). Queen Victoria encouraged reading among all of her people. She gave out free books to children and she built schools for the lower classes. Also the Queen invited prominent Victorian age writers such as Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Charles Dickens to read privately to her in Buckingham Palace(Packard 59). The Victorian Age was also an era of several unsettling social development .....

.... for success. Crane perhaps does this because he personally finds more significance in the inner meaning of an issue rather than its surfacing argument. Cawelti’s Western formula holds a strong assumption that men are assertive and women are insignificant. He is standardizing the black and white of the West. There is an unequivocal struggle between good and evil—and guns and violence can only solve that. Jane Tompkins standpoint on a Western seems to be a middle ground between Cawelti and Crane. She recognizes that violence is a central theme to a Western, but as well explains how we think of violence. In this day of age, .....

.... a pony for his 12th birthday. (The pony became the subject of one of Steinbeck's earliest successes, his novel The Red Pony.) But don't think John was pampered; his family expected him to work. He delivered newspapers and did odd jobs around town. Family came first in the Steinbeck household. While not everyone saw eye-to-eye all the time, parents and children got along well. His father saw that John had talent and encouraged him to become a writer. His mother at first wanted John to be a banker- a real irony when you consider what Steinbeck says about banks in The Grapes of Wrath- but she changed her mind when John began spending .....

.... coercive institutions such as monasteries, the army, mental asylums, and other technologies. In his work Foucault exposes how seemingly benign or even reformist institutions such as the modern prison system (versus the stocks, and scaffolds) are technologies that are typical of the modern, painless, friendly, and impersonal coercive tools of the modern world. In fact the success of these technologies stems from their ability to appear unobtrusive and humane. These prisons Foucault goes on to explain like many institutions in post 1700th century society isolate those that society deems abnormal. This isolation seeks .....

.... to say it but this is the way most of us feel. Young people don’t have an opinion until they are in trouble. We don’t get credit for the good things we do. How many times do you see the names of the students who are trying to make a difference printed in the newspaper compared to the number of times you see our names in the “arrest made� section? It’s bad when children aren’t fortunate enough to be praised for their actions in their own home but they can’t even get it at school anymore. I was recently in a pageant and one of the questions asked was, “ How will your generation be remembered?� According to society w .....

.... loved Brutus. Ophelia died because she loved Hamlet, and finally Cordelia died because she loved King Lear. People should not die for love, but in Shakespeare's plays, it seems so. Therefore, for love, death is tragic. But if death is the only way to die, then death is the best way to die. .....

.... believe that reading allows you to think on your own and they discourage individualism. This society had a box, sort of like a mailbox, which stood outside of the firemen's station. If someone suspected or had seen someone else with a book, that person took identification of the person with the book(s) and left it inside the box. Then the firemen, completely different from our firemen, went out to that person's house and burned all of the books that Guy Montag, who is the main character in this story, is a fireman. On his way home from work, Montag meets a young lady, Clarisse, who is very much like his wife. Clarisse then starts askin .....

.... of skill as he wrote each play. In his early plays, he focused much on the sound and the "color" (Harrison 118) of his wording. His best writings were his comedies because the emotional involvement of this genre was low and so the flowery language fit in quite well. However, in his early tragedies, there are many drawn out speeches in which he tries to portray some deep passion of his character. Disappointingly though, these hyped up speeches turn out to be just a load of pretty words used to sway the audience's feelings one way or another rather than actually portraying the message that Shakespeare had intended (Harrison 121). The en .....

.... 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 God, does that mean that 95% of the world i .....
