.... gives Gabriel Oak, who eventually becomes a suitor, when she encounters him at the beginning of the story. The first time Gabriel lays eyes on Bathsheba, she is gazing admiringly at her own reflection in her pocket mirror. Gabriel realizes immediately that her greatest fault is “what it is always . . . vanity� (p. 56). Gabriel, although impressed by Bathsheba’s beauty and vivacity, does not immediately begin to court her. He is quite smitten with her from the very beginning of their relationship. Gabriel even goes so far as to repeat her name over and over and is quoted as saying “I’ll make her my wife, or upon my soul I sha .....

.... in which the subject lives. In addition if one studies victimology which is the role that the victim plays in the crime, it is apparent that there are many different causes for criminal behavior. Through the examination of biological factors, in addition to the social and environmental factors which make up a criminal mind, one can conclude that a criminal often is born with traits common to those of criminals, it is the environment that exist around them that brings out the criminal within them to commit indecent acts of crime. It is a fact that criminals have a smaller brains than law abiding citizens. Often, offenders share particular .....

.... a position he held until his death in 1631. John Donne wrote letters, elegies, satires, epigrams, devotions, sermons and poems. His songs and sonnets are loved by audiences and "The Flea" written for fun would have to one of them. In the poem it demonstrates the sophisticated wit which Donne approaches seduction in his . The poem is arguably a performance designed to show the reader how cleverly thought an argument could be twisted rather than a genuine attempt at courtship. The poem is made up of three stanzas each one having a different argument to put across. It is an extended metaphor with the flea and its actions compared to the .....

.... delivers his sermon to awaken the audience and to increase the awareness of hell and how to avoid damnation. Also in "A Message from Hell," Ed Andrews' message warns the audience of the horror of hell and persuades them to acquire salvation. Both authors deliver their sermons to foment the emotions of the audience to take advantage of the situation and express the urgency of repentance. Edwards and Andrews both preach of the darkness and terror in hell and want to spread the word of Jesus Christ to ensure that those unsaved can escape this trepidation of hell. Trying to inform the audience of the same message, these two authors use dif .....

.... the bounds of her family’s conformity and find the peace of mind that she has always longed for. Several of the stories throughout this chapter discuss different myths of “One Big Happy Family,” however it all seems to come back to the individual, and what they believe in. Anndee’s house is unique with its red picket fence, a bathroom with two doors, bedrooms surrounded by paper thin walls, and no bedroom doors. Also a glass panel window that was built into a wall that separated the living room from the kitchen. An added feature left behind from years of construction and now disregarded but adding to the ov .....

.... 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 forgiveness. (pg 27, Gabriel Marquez; .....

.... and the consequences of the action taken. To calculate the welfare of the people involved in or effected by an action, utilitarianism requires that all individuals be considered equally. Quantitative utilitarians would weigh the pleasure and pain which would be caused by the bomb exploding against the pleasure and pain that would be caused by torturing the terrorist. Then, the amounts would be summed and compared. The problem with this method is that it is impossible to know beforehand how much pain would be caused by the bomb exploding or how much pain would be caused by the torture. Utilitarianism offers no practical way to make the .....

.... is quite sure of the woman's identity. An expert on Shakespearian sonnets, Katherine Duncan-Jones, states "one sixth of the sonnets are addressed to the dark lady-and these can be seen as brutally defiant of Petrarchanism, yet the history of criticism is strewn with failed attempts to determine the identity of this mystery woman" (Hadfield). He starts off his sonnet by implanting an image in our head of a summer day. A summer day triggers a scene that flashes in our head of children playing and the sun shining, basically a carefree day where everything is beautiful. He contemplates whether or not to compare his love to this ideal day, " .....

.... am, he saw a strange, deformed man round the corner and bump into a young girl. The strange man did not stop but simply walked right over the young girl, who cried out in terror. Enfield rushed over and attended the girl along with her family. Still, the strange man carried on, so Enfield chased him down and urged him back. A doctor was called and Enfield and the doctor felt an odd hatred of the man, warning the man that they would discredit him in every way possible unless he compensated the girl. The strange man agreed to offer 100 British pounds. Enfield notes that the man is like Satan in the way he seems emotionally cold to the situatio .....

.... Instead, the old, the poor, and the rich are buying something to have as their own when they have nothing else, whether it be in the material, social, or emotional sense. So-called faith gives them possession, yet places responsibility in the hands of a higher force. And in that, they are hoping to find freedom in knowing that their lives are less empty and without direction. It may seem that we can hardly relate the televangelist audience of the 20th Century to poetic views on Christianity of the 18th Century, but surprisingly, there lies many similarities between the two.. Both Anne Bradstreet and Phyllis Wheatley appeal to Chr .....
