.... Rick Hoyle: “The human self is a self-organizing, interactive system of thoughts, feelings, and motives that characterizes an individual. The self is reflexive and dynamic in nature: responsive yet stable� (Hoyle 2). Therefore, the outsider must be an individual, fully capable of organizing his or her thoughts and emotions and the consequences of each upon the self and the world. Logically proceeding the definition of the individual outside of society is the definition of society; a term that “can be used to designate the specifically relational system of interaction among individuals and collectivities� (Sanford 219). By positi .....

.... soon reach the ears of the local hero Beowulf, and he immediately outfits a boat and sails across some great sea. He rushes to the king and finds his great Meade hall abandoned. He ends up setting up a trap for Grendel by boasting to the great king of how he was going to defeat the great Grendel with his bare hands. This miss leads Grendel into thinking that he will be easy to kill. Untold to Grendel Beowulf has taken half of his men with their weapons and hidden them. They attacked him in vain, his skin was too tough to be pierced by a sword. Beowulf ended up ripping Grendel's shoulder and arm out of its socket, because he could not .....

.... the physical world as well as the moral universe. The man replies: “I believe nothing of the sort. I find that everything goes wrong in our world, that nobody knows his place in society or his duty, what he's doing or what he ought to be doing, and that outside of mealtimes...the rest of the day is spent in useless quarrels... it's one unending warfare.� By having this character take on such a pessimistic tone, he directly contradicts the obviously over optimistic actions of . In the conclusion an old Turk instructs in the futility of needless philosophizing by saying that "the work keeps us from three great evils, boredom, vice, and p .....

.... the bishop, to free themselves from the sin that was about to happen later that day. The perfunctoriness of the people’s faith matches that of the bishop’s blessing as he passes by without stopping: “ It was a fleeting illusion: the bishop began to make the sign of the cross in the air opposite the crowd on the pier, and he kept doing it mechanically, without malice or inspiration, until the boat was out of sight…” There is no explanation of why the bishop hates the town, but if he does- and passing by reveals at least indifference-such an attitude is at odds with the Christian doctrine of love and forgivene .....

.... they formed "The Crucible" 's skeleton--but I have lost the dead weight of the fear I had then. Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. I remember how in 1964, only twenty years after the war, Harold Clurman, the director of "Incident at Vichy," showed the cast a film of a Hitler speech, hoping to give them a sense of the Nazi period in which my play took place. They watched as Hitler, facing a vast stadium full of adoring people, went up on his toes in ecstasy, hands clasped under his chin, a sub .....

.... with as we read each page further. In looking at Carvers Fires, a collaborations of essays, poems, and stories, we can see the realism of each character, and in doing so, reflect them upon Carver for some likeness. But is this truly where the characters come from? Are they just a reflection of Carver and his life? In private desperation, Raymond Carvers characters struggle through their lives, knowing, with occasional clarity, that the “good life” they had once hoped would be achieved through hard work, will not come about. In many ways, Carvers life was the model for all of his characters. Married to Maryann Burke at nin .....

.... that I already knew. Strunk states that we should form the possessive singular of nouns by adding 's. This shows that a noun is owned by a another noun. Placing a comma before a conjunction introducing an independent clause. If there is a comma placed in the middle of a sentence before a word, such as and or but, there are two separate clauses in that sentence. When the comma is reached the second clause has the appearance of an after-thought. You should be careful on the that rule because if there is not an and or but then the comma should be a semicolon. Make sure that you keep the writing in one tense because the reader may get confu .....

.... does not get along with. The general character of Katharine seems to be that of a small child. Peturicho’s methods of pursuit in some cases border along the lines of torture. Peturicho manipulates and exploits Kate’s character in order to change her outward actions. Although Peturicho does not want to change Kate’s inward thoughts, he does not want to break her spirit. The greatest example can be quoted below. Petruchio says, "Thy gown? Why, aye. Come, tailor, let us see't. / O mercy, God! What masquing stuff is here? / What's this? A sleeve? Tis like a demi-cannon. / What, up and down, carved like an apple ta .....

.... individual as a friend. Because of the goodness in Bilbo, he declines the treasure. It is offered to him since a promise was made in the beginning for him to receive and equal portion of the riches. He refuses the treasure because he feels that the most precious possession he has is the friendship with the dwarfs and others that he encounters along the way. Also, Bilbo enjoys near death experiences and thrills that accompany the quest for the mountain. Although, from Bilbo’s words, he makes it seem as if the only reason he does not take the treasure home is that his pony will only carry two chests. Bilbo also thinks he did enough harm a .....
