- ... an enemy of the people. The assembeled people go through several different reactions, some boo him, others scream and become violent. I feel that George Orwell accomplished his goal of telling how he viewed the world of the future. He used excellent description of places, events and people that I can't even attempt to repeat. He used the prospective of several different people through Winston's interaction of them, and their disscusions. He also used his imagination extreemly well to describe the technology that is used to control the people of the world. Even today we are making things that Orwell described like the telescreens. He also used comparisons of the real world to the world of his story. The image of Emmanual Goldstein was an excellent likness to Hitler. Along with the large numbers of countries that join together to form an alliance for a common ...

Athletic scholarships typically cover room, board ... I think we have to start living with cans of worms and let the presidents, athletic directors, and board of trustees handle it.'' It makes more sense to have the schools required to enforce the new regulations involved than it does to ask the NCAA to handle it. The schools have first hand account o f all the players at their school, therefore they are in the best position to enforce the new legislation's requirements.

- ... in many aspects of the Italian society. In the fifteenth century it spread beyond Italy and gradually influenced society in northern Europe. These cultural changes have been labeled the “Renaissance.” The Renaissance was a rebirth. New ideas and new ways of thinking were developed. Things were gone about differently and people had different priorities. The Italian Renaissance did not extend much from the medieval period with examples such as the difference in artistic ways ... and the extension, if any did not do anything for them. During the Middle Ages, people were focused on religion, and how their life would be after they died. The Renaissance took on a whole new type of thought for the people. People were now concerned with the ideas of humanism, individualism, secularism, and the classics. Italians had enormous confidence in their ability to achieve great things.

- ... of right that will be her distinction for life. The best way to describe myself is that I am an unemployed school teacher working my way through a Master's Program at The University of New Hampshire.

My wife's and my free time created the capacity to bring my family closer together. In fact, we did everything together from going to museums to hitting every fast food restaurant in the New England area. We even went shopping together. From food to clothes and toys to appliances. Which brings me to the time we went to Sears looking for a new telephone and maybe even an answering machine. The telephone was the toughest item to pick out because ever since the telephone company broke up into different companies, the number of different types of telephones ...
- 10528: True Sinners
- ... she says to Dimmesdale, "What we did had a consecration of its own. We felt it so! We said so to each other!" Hester fully acknowledged her guilt and displayed it with pride to the world.

Hester is indeed a sinner; adultery is not ... continue to do God's work as a minister. Throughout the seven years of the novel, Dimmesdale's sermons get more and more tantalizing the weaker he grows. He must wear one face for the world, another for himself. Dimmesdale is trying to excuse his behavior, when his soaring career may be a justification for concealing a sin. He is struggling to confess, and in each sermon, he comes closer and ... It is on the very scaffold that he first pleaded with Hester to reveal his identity, now he releases his secret. Chillingworth's remarks show the importance of Dimmesdale's confession: "Hadst thou sought the world earth over, there was no place so secret no high place not lowly place where thou couldst have escaped me save on this very scaffold!" I think Dimmesdale has not created the worst sin ...
- 10529: Canterbury Tales - Courtly Love In Chaucer
- ... becomes secondary to the appearance of practicing the virtues of truth, honor, and generosity. After establishing the inverted hierarchy of values, Chaucer paints a bleak picture of the potential for love and relationships in a world in which a distinction needs to be made between secular and private roles.

Immediately, Chaucer signals ... mandates that a husband is the lord of his wife, and Arveragus grants her sovereignty only within the scope of their private life because he must uphold the tradition of male domination in the outside world. Arveragus' promise to becomes a way to demonstrate that " [p]acience is a heigh vertu" (101).

If a world places a higher position on truth in external interaction than it grants to private relationships, true love in the courtly tradition of behavior targeted to further self interest can never survive. In the tale' ...
