The True Meaning Behind That Layer Of Blue Nail Polish
.... is the latest manicurean craze, both the
tamest and the wildest adolescents together are donning the shade. When asked
why they choose to wear this latest cerulean shade of nail polish, many give
back similar responses such as: “It looks cool”; “If I wore red I would just
feel like another ordinary person, but if people see your blue nail polish, they
do a double-take”; “It's a little new, something different”.
Unfortunately, many youths have been raised in a society where they have
been conditio .....

Winning Isn't The Most Important Thing
.... who are running in the 10K have to show tremendous determination,
stamina, speed and physical agility not to mention surviving in grueling
temperatures and humidity. Great Olympic and Boston Marathon runners have
dropped out of a 10K due to it's intense strain. I was on hand to witness the
race and saw many great athletes finish the race with great times. These are
runners who put every day into running and run every race. Soon after these
runners had crossed the finish line and been han .....

"Boys And Girls: The Development Of Gender Roles"
.... suggests that the way in which the id, ego, and
superego evolve and the way in which they proliferate in the first six years of
a child's life will influence the child's emotional attachment to her/his parent
of the same sex and, as consequence, the child's gender identification.
I would agree with Freud's statement that children undergo a certain
emotional crisis after becoming aware of their genitals. It must be somewhat
frustrating for, e.g., a three year-old to realize that reaching a pleasurable
emo .....

1963: The Hope That Stemmed From The Fight For Equality
.... Negroes did not have the opportunity
for equality long. After a few years relations between the north and the south
were restored, and the position was taken away from the Negroes and given back
to white men. In the time that the Negroes occupied these positions, southern
whites developed a deep hatred and animosity for Negroes. From that day forward
the strain between blacks and whites grew.
Racial discrimination appeared to be eternally present. Hope looked
slim as the years wore on, and little pro .....

Although Short, John Updike's "A & P" Is Big On Enjoyment
.... the story altogether.
I found the work to be enjoyable in other ways as well. I got the
impression that the main character was a younger fellow. His comments and
actions sounded more immature than mature, so I was able to relate more closely
to the work. I found that there were many thought processes that are similar to
an adolescent boys, rather than to a more experienced adult. A good example of
this can be seen toward the end of paragraph 2 when he gives his interpretation
of what happens .....

Acronyms, Idioms And Slang: The Evolution Of The English Language.
.... than linearly. The same can also be
said of the English language. English is evolving on two levels: culturally and
technologically. And both of these are unavoidable. Perhaps the more noticeable
of the two today is the technological evolution of English. When the current
scope of a given language is insufficient to describe a new concept, invention,
or property, then there becomes a necessity to alter, combine, or create words
to provide a needed definition. For example, the field of Astro-Physics h .....

John Stubbs' "Love And Role Playing In A Farewell To Arms"
.... self-esteem" or to escape, is one Hemingway exploits
extraordinarily well in A Farewell to Arms and therefore it "is his richest and
most successful handling of human beings trying to come to terms with their
vulnerability."
As far as Stubbs is concerned, Hemingway is quite blatant in letting us know
that role-playing is what is occurring. He tells that the role-playing begins
during Henry and Catherine's third encounter, when Catherine directly dictates
what is spoken by Henry. After this meeting th .....

Unannounced searches of property by "firemen" are not at all uncommon. At the
slightest inkling of this futuristic contraband, these firemen will rummage
through all of one's property, at times, destroying everything in their path.
On the opposite side of that spectrum, there is a struggle for power by the
people as well. There is the woman who hid several thousand volumes of books in
her house. She loves these books so much that when the fireme .....

Crime And Punishment And Othello: Comparison And Contrast Essay
.... I will simply tell. Fall to my knees and tell." This
foreshadows Raskolnikov's confession to the police and his subsequent sentencing
to Siberia. Raskolnikov is obviously unbalanced if he can detachedly
hypothesize about his confession. Similarly, Desdemona's willow song
foreshadows her own death. In this way we realize Othello must be extremely
unbalanced if his wife can foresee her own death when they are still newly wed.
Both foreshadowed events would usually be considered as negative. The main

their family members had achieved during battle. The honor that families like
these were granted placed them in public offices, and gave them opportunities to
prosper where others could only dream about. This same honor seemed to carry on
to those who shared the names of the great war heroes. “‘Hey', the Justice said.
‘Talk louder. Colonel Sartoris? I reckon anybody named for Colonel Sartoris in
this county can't help but tell the truth, can they?'” (Kennedy 163).

killer-of-children to the floor of her dingy home. As he is recovering from the
shock of the water, and his recent capture, she has time to note that this mans
seemingly invincible flesh is merely a protective covering. .....
