- ... to your parents. Hammurabi showed responsibility by saying "If a builder has built a house for a man, and has not made his work sound, and the house he built has fallen, and caused the death of the man's son, the builder's son shall be put to death."

- 3173: Chinese Economic Reform

- 3174: Chaucer
- The Canterbury Tales By far Chaucer's most popular work, although he might have preferred to have been remembered by Troilus and Criseyde, the Canterbury Tales was unfinished at his death. No less than fifty-six surviving manuscripts contain, or once contained, the full text. More than twenty others contain some parts or an individual tale. The work begins with a General Prologue in which the ... In a number of cases, there is a longer Prologue before a tale begins, the Wife of Bath's Prologue and the Pardoner's Prologue being the most remarkable examples of this. At Chaucer's death, the various sections of the Canterbury Tales that he was preparing had not been brought together in a linked whole. His friends seem to have tried as best they could to prepare a coherent edition ... and they get angry. In the Tale, a great showpiece of moral rhetoric quite unfitted for such a rogue, he tells an exemplum against greed about three wild young men who set out to kill Death; a mysterious old man they meet tells them they will find him under a tree, but they find there gold instead. One goes to buy wine, and is killed by his two friends on ...

- ... projects of Denver. His unconventional upbringing led to adolescence rife with theft, drug use, and extreme sexual awakening at a young age. Cassady grew up quite quickly and led an overexposed life, which foreshadows his death at the age of 42 of exposure, next to railroad tracks in Mexico. His life, however, seems to be regarded by many as the eighth wonder of the world. He was full of an interminable ... persona. Cassady’s character and personality are almost above describing with simple words. He has been called a myth by many, and gave those who knew him the impression of being invincible. His "courtship of death," as Carolyn Cassady referred to his life, inevitably had to an end. With his death, an entire generation ended. When he died next to railroad tracks at a very young age, however, it came as no surprise to those close to him. His fast-paced lifestyle and constant drug ...

- ... it, he wrote, "for me, this poem means just what it says . . . and the ! which begins the poem is whatmight be called and emphatic (=very)."

This shows that even though the poem is finished, the circle of life is not, and is ever cycling (Weg 144). Through the poem ... in contrast to the bright sky, it is not wrong to assume it means more. As stated above, the poem's theme is the cycle of life, and "black against white" could be indicating life death versus life.

- ... country and around the world every year. Maybe after some people read this they will think twice before lighting up their next cigarette. After all, "cigarette smoking is the single most important cause of preventable death in the United States" (smoking).

After his father's death in 1885, when young Frost was 11, the family left California and settled in Massachusetts. Frost attended high school in that state, entered Dartmouth College, but remained less than one semester. Returning to Massachusetts, he ...
