The only chance Lennie has to become more than society expected of him, is to own a field with George, and have others working for him ... the water ripple.

- ... her much mental anguish and grief. On the other hand, God's treatment of Hester for her sin was quite different than just a physical token: he gave Hester the punishment of a very unique child which she named Pearl.

When housing programmes, upgrading schemes or infrastructure developments present opportunities for the improvement of ... Although the grid pattern may be easier to develop in housing projects, it is often resisted by women who, in informal settlements arrange the construction of dwellings on a communal, circular pattern allowing for collective child-minding, greater sociability and security, and reduced isolation. Consultation with women is also important for the design, delivery and maintenance of urban services and communal facilities. Women's responsibility for household and community management gives ...
