- 111: Jane Eyre, The Feminist Tract"
- ... members. Therefore, he has been demoted, while Jane has been elevated. Her second gradation begins with the introduction of Thornfield Hall and Mr. Edward Rochester into her life. This gradation begins with Mr. Rochester's proposal which shows another recognition of her worth. Before Mr. Rochester directly proposes to Jane she delivers an impetuous speech which she has been driven to by the "acute distress" caused by the prospect of Mr ... to be (his) second self and best earthly companion," (Bronte 256). This offer to be a joint heir with Mr. Rochester and to be his companion is his obvious admission of equality to Jane. This proposal is Jane's first "gradation of glory." Soon after Jane ascends another gradation. On the day of her wedding it is revealed that there is an "insuperable impediment" to the wedding (Bronte 292). Jane learns ... for herself, again an assertion of her self-worth, and for God prevents her from being with Rochester, thus completing the second gradation. The next gradation we see is the evasion of St. John Rivers' proposal. St. John tells Jane, "God and nature intended you for a missionary's wife." (Bronte 405). By saying this St. John has defined Jane's role by declaring God's purpose for her life. ...
- 112: Why Write
- ... another form of amusement, and personally my favorite. It is used to point attention at the flaws of society through a sometimes comical, sometimes cruel reference. One of my personal favorite satirical works is 'A Modest Proposal' by Jonathan Swift. In this, he solves the burden of the growing number of Irish children by suggesting the more affluent population eat them. Writers write to persuade others. This persuasion can range from simple ...
- 113: The Canterbury Tales: A Character Sketch of Chaucer's Knight
- ... Africa, and Asia Minor where he "was of [great] value in all eyes (l. 63). Even though he has had a very successful and busy career, he is extremely humble: Chaucer maintains that he is "modest as a maid" (l. 65). Moreover, he has never said a rude thing to anyone in his entire life (cf., ll. 66-7). Clearly, the knight possesses an outstanding character. Chaucer gives to the knight ... The knight can do no wrong: he is an outstanding warrior who has fought for the true faith_according to Chaucer_on three continents. In the midst of all this contenton, however, the knight remains modest and polite. The knight is the embodiment of the chivalric code: he is devout and courteous off the battlefield and is bold and fearless on it. In twentieth century America, we would like to think that we have many people in our society who are like Chaucer's knight. During this nation's altercation with Iraq in 1991, the concept of the modest but effective soldier captured the imagination of the country. Indeed, the nation's journalists in many ways attempted to make General H. Norman Schwarzkof a latter day knight. The general was made to appear ...
- 114: Analysis On Electronic Data Imaging
- ... that is keyed right back into another computer-based system. Only seven percent of the most crucial information used to run organizations is stored on-line(Smith, 1999, p. 74). The research objective of this proposal will focus on determining what markets contain the highest percentage of companies that are addressing electronic document management in the next three years, broken down annually. The demographics of these organizations can then be analyzed ... the greater Houston area. To achieve this objective we will conduct a survey utilizing the Houston Business Journal Top 100 lists published in 1999 as our sample base. The sampling method chosen for our research proposal is the quota sampling technique which is a form of non-probability sampling. Quota sampling is used for its equitable representation of only the pertinent sampling characteristics required by those conducting the research. Statistical data will be offered in support of quota sampling, once our proposal is approved. Advantages of using this type of research are the speed of data collection, lower costs, and convenience(Weathers, 1999). The initial steps in conducting a survey will require a pilot study. Upon ...
- 115: The Communication Decency Act: The Fight For Freedom of Speech on the Internet
- ... s.652.enr:, which has the Communications Decency Act on-line for public viewing,: "Whoever uses an Internet service to send to a person or persons under 18 years of age......any comment, request, suggestion, proposal, image,........or anything offensive as measured by contemporary community standards, sexual or excretory activities or organs.....shall be fined $250,000 if the person(s) is/are under 18....... imprisoned not more than two years ... in a big legal fit. We, concerned Internet users, took the writers of this bill to court, and we won. This part of the bill states: "Whoever....makes, creates, or solicits...........any comment, request, suggestion, proposal, image, or other communication which is obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, or indecent.......with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass another person......by means of an Internet page..........shall be fined $250,000 under title ...
- 116: The Extradition of Nazi War Criminals
- ... Jews. Hausner sought to confirm Israel's status by proposing to the United States that they extradite Bishop Valerian Trifa to Israel for trial as a war criminal. Israel was reluctant to support Hausner's proposal, which resulted in delaying the extradition process and thus gave Trifa the time needed to find a country willing to give him residency. Portugal granted Trifa residency and thus Hausner's proposal was in vain. Israel, sometime after losing their opportunity of obtaining Trifa, decided that Hausner's idea of establishing Israel as the place to bring Nazi war criminals to trial was a good one, which ...
- 117: Mark Twain's Speeches
- ... genius in compression to compact as many facts as that. W. D. Howells spoke of me as first of Hartford, and ultimately of the solar system, not to say of the universe. You know how modest Howells is. If it can be proved that my fame reaches to Neptune and Saturn, that will satisfy even me. You know how modest and retiring Howells seems to be, but deep down he is as vain as I am. Mr. Howells had been granted a degree at Oxford, whose gown was red. He had been invited to an ...
- 118: Abraham Lincoln 3
- ... judged in the historical context, however, it can be seen that he was far in advance of most liberal opinion. His claim to greatness endures. Early Life The future president was born in the most modest of circumstances in a log cabin near Hodgenville, Ky., on Feb. 12, 1809. His entire childhood and young manhood were spent on the brink of poverty as his pioneering family made repeated fresh starts in ... he roamed about, settling eventually in Hardin county, Ky., where he worked at carpentry, farming, and odd jobs. He was not the shiftless ne'er-do-well sometimes depicted, but an honest, conscientious man of modest means, well regarded by his neighbors. He had practically no education, however, and could barely scrawl his name. Nancy Hanks, whom Thomas Lincoln married on June 12, 1806, and who became the mother of the ...
- 119: Albania
- ... able to control their own destiny. Unfortunately, these conditions did not last long. The Socialist Republic of Serbia made an amendment (amendment 47, article 3) which stated: The Assembly of Serbia before deciding upon a proposal to act for changes in the Constitution of Serbia, presents the proposal for consideration to the assemblies of the autonomous provinces, takes into account the opinion of the assemblies of the autonomous provinces, and takes decision upon those opinions (BRS Kosovo Under the Burden of the Serbian ...
- 120: Lafollettes-licensing Of Paren
- ... possible to do so. I will attempt to argue LaFollette's point by using the different scenarios and analogies presented in his essay. I will also be looking at the different objections to LaFollette s proposal and his rebuttal to each one. I will then show why I am in agreement with LaFollette and his belief that there is a need for some type of licensing program when it comes to ... The next thing LaFollette takes into account is the practical objections to licensing. In this portion of the essay LaFollette considers five different objections. Each objection focuses on the problems or difficulties of implementing this proposal (the licensing of parents) (LaFollette 525). I will only be writing about the three objections that do not deal with the misuse of tests after implemented. The first objection discussed in the essay is that ...
