- ... as “Women Work”, “Richard Corey”, and “The Sad Children’s Story” define the different meanings of life. “Women Work,” a poem by Maya Angelou, is the story of the monotony of a poor women’s day to day existence.

- ... that Charlotte married Mr. Collins just to be married. There was no love shared prior to their marriage and after they were married, they led a pretty dull life and had generally the same schedule day after day. This couples development is limited by phasing them out of the novel. There is not much said about the Collins' after they marry. Austen’s use of Mr. Collins and Charlotte as flat characters is ... Austen portrays Mary as a loner and moral imperfection. Never is she seen attending balls or socializing as her sisters are and she shows no interest in much besides reading for the majority of each day. Although the rest of the Bennet girls seem to have numerous friends, Mary seems to have not even one and never spends any time with her sisters. There have also been no men interested ...
- 3675: Pericles
- ... explain power as the affinity of similar things. With his mind occupied by such thoughts, Pericles was dignified in his language and serene and calm in his movements. Nothing could shake his majestic composure. One day, Pericles was in the marketplace of Athens doing business, and all day long some noisy pest kept following him around, yelling vituperation. He even followed Pericles home. Throughout the ordeal, Pericles maintained his composure. It was dark by the time Pericles arrived home, so he gave orders ... did Pericles appear in public, and only on the most important occasions. Then, when he spoke to the people, his words were like thunder and lightning. By far, he was the best leader of his day, both for style and content. The old men noted a striking resemblance to Pisistratus in the way Pericles looked and talked. Thucydides [not the historian], a noble and distinguished citizen, later took Cimon's ...

Charlotte ‘helps’ her friend. ‘She owed her greatest relief, Miss Lucas, who often joined them and good naturally engaged Mr Collins’ conversation to herself.’ The day Mr Collins proposes Charlotte is there.

- 3677: Pride And Predjudice
- ... This quote, a typical Mr. Bennet speech, occurs when the issue of Kitty going to Brighton is brought up: "This is a parade which does one good; it gives such an elegance to misfortune! Another day I will do the same; I will sit in my library, in my night-cap and powdering gown, and give as much trouble as I can - or, perhaps, I may defer it til Kitty runs ... money or prestige. As a conclusion, romance is what a writer like Austen is really good at, and the people of her time would buy it (if it sold well in her time, then she'd be financially worry-free).

It became a source of financial security that in many cases went no further. Elizabeth is the first woman ... marriage. Elizabeth's closest friend Charlotte is not as interested in the aspect of love and happiness that Elizabeth believes should come with marriage. She would probably better represent most of the women of the day. When Mr. Collins proposes to Charlotte she "accepted him solely from the pure and the disinterested desire of an establishment."

Elizabeth claims that giving up love in marriage is "sacrific[ing] every better feeling to worldly advantage," but that was a choice every woman like her had to make.

- 3679: New Terror
- ... its ability to dabble in every corner of our society. From two choleric boys in Colorado, to chemical warriors like Japan's Aum Shinrikyo, there is a new standard in type and class of modern day opponents. Everyone has the authority to be a threat.

- “Natures Undistinguished Elements” On a typical fall day, Lake Michigan can speak a language of its own. The lake relates a story of flowing waves, bobbing boats, and soaring birds. As the white-crested, blue waves drift towards the foamy shores, they bring ... only the crystal clear water that contributes to the beauty of the scene. The variety of boats that harbor in the bays and ports around Lake Michigan also add to the excitement of a normal day on the lake. The powerboats roar a story of freedom.
