.... he has paid is far less compare to a teacher who was trained to teach. The similar situation has happened in the novel In the Time of the Butterflies. All four but one Mirbal Sisters have prepared to sacrifice. But there is one, the only exception, the only unsung heroine among the four, the one who was trained to be the traditional housekeeper, the one who lived unwillingly after all three sisters are gone, and her name is Dede.

The Name Of The Rose
.... he sees the clues for what they really mean, instead of what they desired them to mean.
Semiotics teaches that each element is meaningless until it is differentiated from the other elements. This can be applied several places in the novel, first as each death cannot be solved on it own, but only in conjunction with the other murders. In addition, William singles out the library as the common denominating factor not, for example, sleeping quarters or the Church.

The Nature Of Man In Lord Of T
.... selves were revealed in the absence of adults, laws and punishment.
The existence of civilisation allows man to remain innocent or ignorant of his true nature. When the concepts of humanity and civilisation slip away or are ignored, human beings revert to the more primitive, savage-like part of their nature - the fall of the boys on the island clearly indicate this. The early chapters of the book illustrated a macrocosm of man, where the presence of democracy and order suppressed the emergence to .....

The Odyssey - Gender Roles
.... impressive, but they are undistinguished and limited, for they exist in a world of mas-culine competition and warfare. It is only in the Odyssey, among early Greek works, that such familiar ideas as love, family loyalty, and devotion, and other such important ethical attitudes, are both illustrated and advocated. It is the presence of these unconscious moral lessons that makes the Odyssey so unique in its genre and produces its humanitarian and optimistic outlook.
The nature of the events described in .....

The Odyssey 4
.... ship after defeating Kirke, his men begin crying as if they have in sight what they want most-their homeland. They are so pitiful that they are compared in a simile to "calves in tumult, / breaking through to cluster about mothers" (446-7). In this comparison the vulnerability and dependence of the men on Odysseus is quite evident. It seems that without their protector and leader they are helpless.
Dusyanta is also called upon for protection in several instances when others are threatened. Three .....

The Old Man And The Sea
.... of the sea which is known for the eight rows of raking teeth. In this novel, Hemmingway, with his descriptive details, make the characters sound so realistic; he makes them come “alive.”
For eighty-four days, Santiago had not caught a single fish. At first Manolin had shared his bad luck, but after the fortieth day the boy’s father tells his son to go on another boat. From that time on, Santiago works alone. Each morning he rows his skiff into the Gulf Stream where the big fish are. .....

The Old Man And The Sea 2
.... obtaining something does not always end one's journey. Once Santiago hooked the fish he still had to bring it home. Bringing home the marlin brought further complications from the sharks. The sharks could represent those who would tear apart one's successes. These loathsome, scavengers delight in tormenting and bringing about defeat or tragedy, similar to how some people react to other's successes.
Like the marlin and the sharks, the lions also symbolized different attributes. The lions in Santiago's .....

The Old Man And The Sea-change
.... and in almost denial, the old deteriorating fisherman pretends there is a meal ready to eat in the presence of the boy when there isn't a freshly caught fish in a 10 mile radius of the dilapidated shack. It's hard to accept that the fishing glories from the past are but a memory for Santiago as he welcomes poverty with humble hands.
The phrase "Nobody loves you when you're down and out" depicts the relationship regarding Santiago with the town perfectly. When he was catching great fish and winning arm .....

The Once And Future King Descr
.... that Guenever had a chaos of the mind and body, a confusion and profusion of beliefs and hopes, the ability to be transported by the beauty of physical objects, a heart perience as to when truth should be suppressed in deference to the middle aged. On top of these, there were the broad and yet uncertain lines of her personal character-lines of less pathos, but more reality; lines of power.
It can be said that Gwen assumes the worst and often becomes
jealous in many episodes. Such as when Gue .....

The Ones Who Walk Away From Om

With the help of the reader, the narrator makes Omelas appealing to everyone. "Omelas sounds in my words like a city in a fairy tale, long ago and far away, once upon a time"(LeGuin 876). Omelas does sound too good to be true. While the narrator is saying all that Omelas has and does not have, she says "One thing I know there is none of in Omelas is guilt"(877). The reader later finds .....

If Agamemnon had spared his daughter's life, he would have also spared his life, his wife's life, and the lives of thousands of Greek soldiers. By not appeasing Artemis, the Greeks would not have been able to sail to Troy, and all the brave Greek soldiers that died in battle or in the storm on the journey home would have been spared. If Iphigeneia had lived, Clytaemestra would have no reason for k .....

The Orestia
.... however, one must consider the practical application of the verdict. This application ceased the Taleonic nature that had befitted the House of Atrius. Although it is difficult to imagine that this action was in the interest of fairness, the applied perspective that the outcome was more important the means, supplied the burden of proof for this acquittal.
Many parallels between modern American juris prudence and that applied in Orestes case can be illustrated, with a primary focus on circumstan .....

“What hath thou done?” inquired their lord,for they had done wrong; for their sins, they would be punished forever long.They had committed the original sin,
therefore God had to discipline.The serpent was the one to blame,
in the eyes of God he showed no shame. For He showed his power and might
He forced the snake to crawl upon the earth day and night.
