Oh Boy
.... that the material life has to offer. Hindus also believe in karma. They believe that karma is one of the natural laws of the universe. If you do good things, good things will happen to you. If you do negative things, negative things will happen to you. Hindus also believe that the cow is sacred. The cow represents their life and all other animals. They also regard the cow as sacred because it gives and gives but only takes grass and grain. Not all of the Hindu people are vegetarian, they are given t .....

On The Subjection Of Women
.... slaves;
slaves had somewhere to go after their work was done which they could call their
own Mill's response to all this is to urge a new principle of equality of the sexes;
that also means freedom for women, at least to the same extent as men have
freedom in society, since the principle includes equality of power. In 1869
women had little opportunity for success, but this was all in 1869. In today's
society women have the same opportunities as men. If they have the intellectua .....

Romeo And Juliet

And this distilling liquor drink thou off;
When presently through all thy veins shall run
A cold and drowsy humor; for no pulse
Shall keep his native progress, but surcease;
(4.2.93-97)
In this part of the plan, Juliet could drink the liquid but not drink all of it, or the potion might not work at all. Friar should make it clear to Juliet to drink the whole vial and tell Juliet that there is a chance that it might not work.
No warmth, no breath, shal .....

Secondly, the dust stands for ^profiteering banks in the background that squeeze the life out the land by forcing the people off the land. The soil, the people (farmers) have been drained of life and are exploited:

Inner Cities
.... a mockingbird was Boo Radley, he was also innocent, he didn't harm anyone and he saved Scout & Jem near the end of the novel. Boo Radley also had to be protected like a Mockingbird (because he didn't harm anyone).
The entire title in the novel means 'To Destroy Innocence'. At the end of the novel Scout realises that Tom Robinson is a 'Mockingbird' and she says "it'd be sort of like killing a mockingbird".

.... to power. So did "the Party". They killed Winston's parents and many others. Also Stalin exiled his primary political rival, Trotsky, just as "BIG BROTHER" got rid of Emanuel Goldstein. So as you can see Stalin's "Soviet Union" was much like "Oceania" The monitoring for Big Brother is achieved by telescreens, the Thought Police, other Party member, and even your own family.
Another way both Stalin and Big Brother tried to gain power was by changing language. The Party seeks to stifle any individual or .....

Theme-Basketball (no Works Cit

The first day of practice I knew almost everyone on my team from school and have talked to them, but never really got to know them. Playing with them helped me find the true personalities of these kids. The most important way that participating in basketball helped socially, was the fact that I met an abundance of new people. Every time that I started a new recreational basketball season there were always some new kids that I h .....

Dracula
.... presented to us with its every aspect. Infact every single concept covered comes deep from mythology. It talks about blood and fire, death and love, good and bad, fantasy and magic. And the Count; who sometimes happens to be an atrocital monster, a romantic lover… No doubt, these make the novel even more interesting. But, these things are only the small, tiny bits of a greater picture. This is not just the story of the mystic blood sucker, one feels that it tells us much more than that.

This book takes place during World War II. Elie Wiesel and his family are taken to Auschwitz, one of the worst

camps during the holocaust. His family and him are persecuted for really no reason, as were the rest of the Jews at this time. All of the information presented were the many things I have learnt in classes, about World War II. An example is when the Nazis would tell people that they were taking them to the shower room. .....

Glass Menag.
.... Williams was overly descriptive in
his stage directions. This play made me think about how
people with disabilities are treated. I had always thought that
in the thirties and forties, being disabled was not accepted.
But after reading this play, I am starting to think that I might
be wrong after all, because Laura seemed not to be treated
any differently as a result of her disability. What surprised
me about this play, was the fact that Jim was not married to
Emily Meisenbach, his high school .....

Medea
.... role that women should take and it was rarely violated. Women were expected to take the submissive role and never question a superior male. Their voice was rarely heard and their opinions were insignificant, especially in society. As far as marriage went, women must buy their husbands with a dowry and it was necessary fro them to remain married, even if it was a bad marriage. Divorce was illegal for women, while a man could remarry if he chose to do so. This defiance from the traditional role force .....
