.... how we interpreted what they said. After the assigned reading you need to take the time and think about what you just read trying to figure out the opposition. One way of doing this would be to take the two authors and list what each one is trying to convey.

It is very important for him to feel like he can succeed in the world; and he puts emphasis on the tests he is undergoing. I think that Henry's analytical nature is his best attribute. A good mental stature is the basis for a good person. The setting to this story is key. In the beginning of the story, the setting is the bank of a river, and tha .....

For taking one's part that's out of favor Nay; an thou canst not smile as the wind sits, thoul't catch cold shortly There, take may coxcomb!

I concluded that he was desperate because he knew he was not going to have that much power for very long. He knew he was in trouble because the OAS Peace Committee came so he figured he might as well kill people while he still can. I don’t understand why Mate did not tell the OAS Peace Committee what happened at La 40. She said she did not want to endanger Santiclo. That is understandable, but it seems that there was a very slim possibility that he would get .....
