- ... power or in attempt to put more stress or importance in an idea which is done by adding a sad ending or foul language. This fact has been used many times, for example, in "A modest proposal" by Jonathan Swift which I believe was a very ironic letter used to put emphasis on the problem of famine that plagued Ireland in the 17th century because of English control over the country.

- 83: Pride And Prejudice - Characters
- ... to stand up to others. " I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.", (Ch. 34) she exclaims in response to Darcy’s initial proposal. However, with all her strong-mindedness, her courage is still shown when she admits that she is wrong after she read Darcy’s letter of explanation and said: "But vanity, not love, has been my ... who lacks the self-reflection and self-awareness that is evident in Elizabeth. One trait Mr. Collins surely portrays is that of self-importance. It never occurred to him that Elizabeth would refuse his marriage proposal, and when she does, he can only say: "…it does not appear to me that my hand is unworthy your acceptance…". Mr Collins’ proposal was extremely serious, as he really believed that he was a good catch, and therefore he was mortified when Elizabeth turned him down. Mr.Collins continually amuses the reader with his ironically ‘wise’ discussions ...
- 84: Enterprise & Entrepreneuralism
- ... personal and friendly service to all customers and from the outset instigated this within the shop environment. Recognition within the local community and attraction of regular customers resulted from this and thus so did a modest, small shop turnover. Management Styles: The style of management was very individualistic; only Mr Pettifer's wife, Fatima was employed initially in running the shop (issues in employing family friends and relatives are recapitulated later ... the shop.)) After one year, Mr Pettifer decided that there simply wasn't enough room to expand the shop product range to the domains revealed by his marketing strategy (albeit a very limited one!). A proposal was made to Dillons' management to expand the shop premises approximately by four-fold. After the initial success of the shop and the predicted potential, Dillons agreed to finance the expansion and also improve the ...
- 85: Pride and Prejudice: Marriage for Money
- ... turn down a wealthy suitor, or attractive women use their beauty to their advantage to attract a rich husband. Confident in his knowledge of his own wealth and magnificence, Darcy's less than romantic first proposal to Elizabeth is a good example of the first of these truths. Darcy marches into the room, and after stating all the reasons why a wealthy man such as himself should never marry a “ socially ... her marriage to him would mean the estate would stay in the family. She found Darcy most disagreeable, but would have been furious if Elizabeth had told her the she had turned Darcy's marriage proposal down. Charlotte Lucas represents the group entirely left out of this equation. She has neither extreme beauty nor wealth. She can not even attract a husband through her wit as Elizabeth does, and so she is basically without hope for inclusion. Elizabeth is astonished when Charlotte accepts Mr. Colleen's marriage proposal, as she does not understand fully Charlottes predicament. She can not hope for a wealthy and handsome husband like Elizabeth and Jane can, as she does not have their particular assets. She can hope ...
- 86: The Outcasts Of Poker Flat - J
- John Oakhurst is the main character in “The Outcasts of Poker Flat”. John is an outstanding person and has some phenomenal traits. Such as that he is unusually calm, courageous, and modest. John has shown numerous times in “The Outcasts of Poker Flat”, that he is an extraordinarily calm person. One time in which Mr. Oakhurst showed extreme calmness is when the men come to take him ... But not Mr. Oakhurst, he just gave him a swift kick in the stomach. That to me shows the utmost courage in the world. Another one of John’s traits is that he is overwhelmingly modest. Mr. Oakhurst’s modesty is proven numerous times in this short story by Brett Harte. One of those times is when John puts the death card on the tree, he doesn’t boast about dying ... boasts of winning all that money during card games. He had a perfect opportunity too when he met The innocent on their adventures. Those are the two reasons that I think John Oakhurst is a modest person. Overall, I think that John Oakhurst is a good person. I believe he is this because of the traits listed above. If I was alive in the old west, John is a person ...

Harvard Medical School’s research showed a clear relationship between contaminated water and Woburn’s elevated leukemia rate.

In remarks delivered by FAA Deputy Administrator Linda Hall Daschle to the Professional Airways Systems Specialists, "without USATS or some other creative financing proposal, we will face reductions in our work force -- including our safety work force...cuts in programs to protect against runway incursions at smaller airports...critical delays in weather safety programs".

"It was the result of a thorough analysis of the need for greater flexibility ... Transportation. Lightfoot said, "our legislation will streamline the FAA, reform the costly and often delayed rule-making process, and increase aviation safety." The legislation is seen by some as an attempt to counter the USATS proposal by President Clinton. It also appears many aircraft owners and pilots support this reform action. There is quite an array of legislation proposed to reform our nation's aging, outdated air traffic control system. ...
