- 1651: A Portrait Of The Artist
- ... an array of transformations, changing throughout the novel much like Stephen himself. The figure woman goes from the mother figure, to that of the whore, and finally to the representation of freedom itself. As a child, the image of the mother figure is strong. It is nurturing and supportive, that of "a woman standing at the half-door of a cottage with a child in her arms . . ." (10) who shelters and protects and makes Stephen afraid to "think of how it was" to be without a mother. As Stephen grows, however, like any child his dependency of him mother begins to dwindle, as does his awe for her.

- 1653: Divorce
- ... the base at which society is built around. Procedures A couple that is wishing to proceed with a divorce first fills out the proper papers and returns them to court.

Therefor can sometimes be obtained by couples without lawyers. Some judges oppose this type of divorce because often the protection of the children and spouses are overlooked. Child Custody and Support In the early and mid 1900's, Judges almost automatically granted custody to the mother. They believed that children should not separate from their mother. Today, many Judges realize that the children ... one. If the court changes their decision for any reason, the children might have to move, but this is prevented if possible because such a move can be very emotionally harmful on the children.

- 1654: Different Ideas Of What Is Tru
- As a child I repeatedly stood in line with my mother at the supermarket waiting to pay for our groceries. I often grew bored and found cheap entertainment in reading the thick, dark print of the supermarket tabloids ... to a excessive story. The photos shown by Time magazine show Patsy Ramsey gazing at a painting of her daughter. This photo layout choice evokes sympathy for a women saddened by the loss of a child. In representing the Ramseys in this light, a reader is encouraged the readers to view the Ramseys as murderers. In viewing the Ramseys in such a light, one is not reminded of the facts of ... feel disgust, and easy to stop habits which further the spreading of gossip by supermarket tabloids. With such cases as the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation, in which little had happened since the death of the child, tabloids are known for twisting facts in order to pump new energy into a dying story. In the aftermath of Princess DianaΉs death there was a call upon the citizens of the world ...
- 1655: Definition Of Race
- ... word race must be analyzed. Throughout history, it is a matter of observation that people are not alike in appearance; there are variations in the external physical characteristics transmitted wholly or partially from parent to child. It goes as far back as the Old Testament, which one already finds the belief that the physical and mental differences between individuals and groups alike are congenital, hereditary, and unchangeable. The Book of Genesis ... was the debate of Monogenism versus Polygenism. Following this concept, races are ranked based on various criteria judged to assess intelligence or moral standards. Such rankings are highly subjective and loaded with potential for ethnocentric abuse, with the highest rank always being reserved for the race of the anthropologist doing the ranking. One such man was Linnaeus, who viewed the task of classification as one of attempting to understand the natural ...

- ... queen, but not on Polixenes who is too far away. We also learn Prince Mamillius has fallen sick over depression for losing his mother. Paulina arrives and presents Leontes' daughter to him. Leontes denies the child, but Paulina yells at him and insists it is his baby and not Polixenes'. Yet, he still yells at her and then accuses Antigonus of setting his wife up to her outbursts. Leontes then orders Antigonus to burn and kill the baby he calls a bastard. The lords convince him to let the baby live, but Leontes then orders Antigonus to abandon the child in a desert place and let it fiend for itself. Cleomenes and Dion return from the oracle with an unknown scroll fro it.

- 1657: Diamonds Are My Best Friend
- ... the game since childhood. They remember Musial, Maris, and Mantle. They can tell you stories of hearing Hank Aaron hitting his record breaking home run on the radio, or watching Lou Gehrig as a young child. Many of the greatest baseball stories can be heard from these men, living encyclopedias if what the game once was, and it today. Someday I will be sitting in the box seats of a ballpark, and a young child will take the seat beside me. I can captive his imagination with anecdotes of Cal Ripken Jr. s remarkable streak, Ozzie Smith s amazing back flips, Pedro Martinez s menacing fastball, and the magical summer ... occasional sports viewer; this was history. In the midst of all the commotion, I sat down and thought for a moment: This is one man, playing a simple game he s loved since being a child, and what does he do after crossing home plate? Pick up his young son and embrace him, like any father would. This made me realize how special baseball really is. It is a game ...
- 1658: Animal Farm As Animal Satire
- ... author Peter Davison points out that, besides Orwell's experience in Spain, Animal Farm "originated from the incident that suggested its genre: the little boy driving a huge cart-horse, which could easily overwhelm the child had realised its own strength."(Davison, 1996, p.125) Shortly after he published Animal Farm, Orwell (1947) in his essay titled "Why I Write" wrote about his goals in writing his book: Animal Farm was ... As it can be expected the satirist, writing satire, expose himself to counter-attacks by those who attacked. Richard (1976 )says: this danger becomes the greater, the more the writer is committed to invective and abuse. Invective is of course one of his most useful weapons, and it is an art its own: it requires elegance of form to set off grossness of content, and learned allusiveness to set off open ...
- 1659: Monkey Island And Missing May
- Monkey Island and Missing May were both very well written fictional books. I did not think Missing May was believable though. I don't expect a child will relate to a young orphan girl whose uncle is trying to contact the spiritual realm in search of his wife, May. Monkey Island on the other hand was quite believable. It sounds like the thoughts of an 11-year-old boy whose parents deserted him. I feel he should have been angrier with his mother for acting like a child herself but then again he's a lonely child who will do anything to be with his family again. In Monkey Island, Buddy collected things from everywhere and in Missing May, Cletus also collected things. Both collected things for different reasons. Buddy collected ...
- 1660: A Tale
- ... because the aristocracy had exploited and plundered the poor until they were driven to extreme measures. Nowhere is that more evident than in Dickens portrayal of the Marquis St. Evremonde. This nobleman is the poster-child of selfish privilege. He is uncaring and has no respect for life. This is especially apparent when he cold-heartedly runs down an innocent child with his carriage. But for the latter inconvenience, the carriage would probably not have stopped; carriages were often known to drive on, and leave their wounded behind, and why not? In payment for the inconvenience, Monseigneur throws a single coin to the childs parent. How well this personifies exactly how cold and unsympathetic too many of the aristocracy had become. Dickens has nothing but scorn for the high-handed behavior of the nobility, with their lack ...
