He was old, and powerful, and with authority, but also wrong.

Overall Queeg portrayed a ... that he had the power as stated in the constitution to overtake captain Queeg's position.

- ... of what the author is trying to portray. Ray Bradbury attacks book censorship in the afterward of Fahrenheit 451 by saying that there is more than one way to burn a book, and that the world is full of minority groups running around with "lit matches" in the form of censors and bans. He asks people to stop trying to censor his work because it steals from the integrity of it (Bradbury 180). It is a mad world and it will get madder if we allow the minority of would-be censors to interfere with the beauty of literature. Bibliography Works Cited "Banned Books Week.": n. pag. Online.

- 10263: The Albanian Virgin
- ... difficult. This could be because it is simply written from careful observations as are many of her other short stories. In her short stories, it is as though she tries to transform a common, ordinary world into something that is unsettling and mysterious as was seen in Vandals. Most of her stories found in Open Secrets, are set or focused on Munro’s native Canada, Huron County, and particularly in the ... are somewhere between threats, exemplars of surviving love and pathos (as Munro’s late middle aged couples often are); the adventure of Lottar and the Franciscan priest who helps her escape from what is both new home and prison; the antagonistic mating dance between the bookstore owner and her new, odd friends, Charlotte and Gjurdhi. (Bloom 1995) The change from one character’s point of view or narrative to another is changing the setting and mood of the story. The narrator is indirectly portraying ...

- 10265: The Return of the Jedi
- The Return of the Jedi So far this semester, we have studied several different sociological theories of religion. These theories are built on both the known history of religions in the world and the cultures in which they originated, as well as, appropriately enough, theoretical suggestions of how those religions, and indeed any religion at all, will survive in the future. The theory I find the most ... lords, and spies for all sides everywhere. III. The Present As it stands at the end of the movies, the Emperor has been killed, Darth Vader has rejoined the Jedi Masters, Leia is organizing the New Republic, and Luke goes out into the galaxy to spread Jediism. What can we expect from the future? First of all, Jediism is a religion that does not do a lot of legislating of moralities. Apart from basic liberties (Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, etc.) Jediism mostly stays out of people's private lives.

When this happens, other small sects will start to spring up. ( ...

I just forgot about what happened and went back to doing my work. Gripers today are ...
