It is also here that their caste designation determines how much oxygen they will receive in their bottle. "The lower the caste, the shorter the oxygen." The lower caste Epsilons are oxygen deprived because for the labours they are destined to perform, they will not need human intelligence.

Bookreport On The Spy Who Came
.... the things he does. For example when he is interrogated his story is perfect and gains just the effect that he wants. A main point he has is that Mundt wasn’t their man but through some “by the way” details he gets Fiedler suspicious and gives him the facts he needs to accuse Mundt.
Hans-Dieter Mundt was born forty-two years ago in Leipzig and is hated even within his own department. He is a Nazi and especially hates Jews. The only interests he has are his own and he will even kill to achieve them .....

Catcher In The Rye 5

He used the term to be what a person is if they don't act naturally and follow other
people's manners and grace. Holden didn't like phonies, he thought of them as if they
were trying to show off. He didn't like it when they showed off because it seemed so fake
and unnatural every time they would do so. "At the end of the first act we went out with
all the other jerks for a cigarette. What a deal that was. You never saw so many phonies
in all your life, everybody smoking th .....

Bradstreets Views Towards Male
.... in which she laments the fact that “A weak or wounded brain admits no cure”(stanza 4, line 24). As the reader proceeds reading, Bradstreet discusses the prejudice against women, knowing that if she expresses her true feelings, no one will look at her poem. Therefore, she says:
I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
Who says my hand a needle better fits,
A poet’s pen all scorn I should thus wrong,
For such despite they cast on female wits:
If what I do prove well, it won’t advance,

Blindness In Oedipus
.... blind prophet, Teiresias. Teiresias told Oedipus that he had come into Thebes with his sight, but he would leave Thebes without it. Oedipus' physical blindness also left Oedipus to the wrongs of his life. With nothing to look at, Oedipus was forced to think about his life and what had happened. He was forced to deal with it. He had the blackness and the physical pain he had inflicted on himself as reminders and as punishment. Oedipus' physical blindness was just as painful as his blindness to the truth. B .....

Billy Budd
.... Billy also shows a resemblance towards a Christ figure, by his ignorance of what goes around him. He ponders why so many people abominate Claggart?

These actions of innocence and ignorance show Billy as a Christ Figure because he tries to .....

Beowulf
.... someone to believe in and who would believe in someone with low self-esteem or someone who didn’t believe in themselves. The people need assurance and they found that assurance in Beowulf. Beowulf reassures his people that the Dragon will be dealt with and gives them courage to withstand this threat. “ I lived in my youth through hard war-moments--- now here I am ready battle weary king battered with winters for final glory-time if that grim hall burner will come to meet me from his mound of gold” (pg .....

The father does not make any discrimination between the rich and the poor. For him, there are only two categories of people: blood kin and "they", into which he lumps all the rest of mankind and this division relates to his son 's crisis (to be related to t .....

A Critique Of Charlotte Gilman
.... is presumed to be weak, unable to cope with normal activities. She is not even allowed to write, and says that, "he hates to have me write a word." Throughout the story, he is condescending, referring to her as a "little girl" and insists that she take a room she does not like, as if she were a child. In fact, the room they stay in used to be a nursery, and has child-safe bars on the windows, making her seem even more like a child and a prisoner. It is odd to note that, Charlotte, being the one .....

Bridge Of San Luis Rey
.... anymore, he tried to do it to her son. The Perichole's son Jaime like Pepita had the true love, but would not be chosen by me, because he was a frail boy who was always sick and had not seen the hardships of life that Pepita had seen. Although he had been through a hard life, it was still not comparable to what Pepita had to go through. Jaime was also very sickly, which probably made him more humble and loved the world around him more.
Most people, who have to go through what Pepita went through, end .....

Beowulf
.... Beowulf later brought back Gendel's head as some sort of symbolic trophy. He gave the head Hrothgar as some kind of gift to try to show to everyone what a great warrior he is, but if he were a true great warrior he would not have to bring anything back to prove his greatness.
Besides Beowulf's boastfulness and egotistical actions he was also very greedy, not just from the treasures he got with the victory of each battle but also from the strive to become immortal, whether it be by song or poem. Beowu .....
