- 952: Death of a Salesman - Willy
- ... Comical Poem." This poem has exalted an over all sense of worthlessness for common rules. The mentioning of Achilles and the ever- popular Aeneas, are symbols of Pope's Gothic style. Pope speaks (almost) G-D like throughout, "The Rape of Lock." Contrary to Keats, who is more down-to-earth with his sense of realism in his writings. In the beginning of Keats romantic premise to life in St. Agnes ... In comparison with Pope, Keats has distinguished himself in his writing. Pope relies on old myths and obscure legends in order to achieve his outcome of clarity. Each writer has their own hero of the day. In each writer's mind is the idea that one can be g-d through their own scripture. Each must be excused for not always being able to know what is still real and what is fiction in life. Their expensive minds have brought their own personal truth ...

- ... seven years of dried-out crops. A description of the Prairie land was that ... The Prairies were like a great rich land without rain. The heat everyday was too hot to adjust to during the day and too hot to sleep at night. It was like living a dry sauna.

- ... the lock… our children. Vittorio Innocente is a young boy who has not always lived up to his name. ‘My attendance at school had not been very regular-it had somehow fallen out that I’d spent much of class time wandering up to the top of Colle di Papa or down to the river with my friend Fabrizio, sharing with him the cigarettes he filched from his father. La Maestra ... called Principi Matematici, but to no avail. As he sat stranded on page three of his mathematical conquest, he was overcome by a wealth of distractions. The golden sun was shining down on him that day, or so it seemed, for as he was drifting off to sleep the muffled shout of a man shattered what would appear to be his last enjoyable day; at least for a long time. Childhood can be a fragile thing. It is commonly believed that children see the world through different eyes. Everything seems fresh and interesting to them, where we become ...

- ... of three years is hardly ever bad company. She just started getting down the quarks of Swan Cleaners: learning cash register, how to tag clothes, and various mundane activities such as these. Sam’s third day on the job: “Pay attention! Open the drawer, hand me the money, and no one gets hurt.” Working in Dublin, Ohio, off a main road in the middle of suburbia, is the last place you ... give me the money.” Words started vibrating, my every moved seemed in slow motion. “Here,” I managed to say. I handed over the whopping twenty dollars Swan Cleaners had made during the course of the day. Without counting it he ran out the door. With Sam at my side, we had realized what had happened, we’d been robbed; in broad daylight, by an old freaky man, on Sam’s third day. Instinct came over me; I chased the man outside and around the corner, to the rear parking lot. “AZZ9605, ...

We have even seen up to a half dozen of their cases on the news simultaneously. Cases such as San Francisco's ... is legalized murder; that death sentences are unfairly dealt out to minorities; and that an innocent person might be executed in error. In the case of serial killers, these arguments do not stand up. Joel D.

When John Wayne Gacy was executed for the murder of 33 men and boys, his former prosecutor commented that the death pen-alty would deter Gacy from killing again. I believe that Joel D.

- ... when read with the proper accents than if it were read without its proper meter. The alliteration also contributes to the smooth and melodious sound in the poem. "Serenely sweet," (11), "Cloudless climes" (2), and "Day denies," (6) contribute to the gentle and consistent tone, thus allowing the reader to focus more on the woman rather than on the sharpness of the wording. Likewise, the sibilance adds to the soft tone ... sense of balance, which is alluded to in those same two lines; she is gentle and kind yet has dark and mysterious qualities lurking within.
