- ... and board. Although untalented in the kitchen, Mattie's young and vivacious spirit brought happiness to the house. Finding Mattie's presence refreshing compared to the bleak, dismal surroundings of the farm, Ethan took a great interest in her. He found great joy in her company.

- 3682: Ernest Hemingway
- ... him. In the last year of his life, he lived inside of his dreams, similar to his mother, who he hated with all his heart. He was suicidal and had electric shock treatments for his depression and strange behavior. On a Sunday morning, July 2, 1961, Ernest Miller Hemingway killed himself with a shotgun. Ernest Hemingway takes much of the storyline of his novel, A Farewell to Arms, from his personal ... experiences which he was writing about. I believe that Hemingway had Catherine and her child die, not to look different from his own life, but because he had a sick and morbid personality. There is great power in being an author, you can make things happen which do not necessarily occur in real life.

- ... why the white had all the wealth, she never thought maybe it was the governments fault. Nevertheless, this concept stayed with her, reaching her conscious further in her life as a women. Oppression took a great toll on Assata during her voyages down south. She became a victim of segregation. Her confrontations with the strict segregation laws bewildered her mind. Segregation was exhibited in all kinds of facilities, leaving very little black facilities available. At some points stopping for restrooms became a hassle. Without access to the segregated facilities, other means had to be compromise The oppression Assata faced as a youth had great effect on her struggle toward liberation. She had racial obstacles to overcome as a child; all that contributed to her build up of anger and distress toward the government. The momentum she had built from her experiences all amounted later in her college career. At this point she developed goals, ones retaining insight into liberation movements. Community college and later CCNY had great influences on Assata's historical perspectives on her race.

Hell is described as the most appalling place in existence as i t is "A dungeon horrible, on all sides round as one great furnace flamed; yet from those flames no light, but rather darkness visible served only to discover sights of woe." (Bk. 1, lines 61-64.) The devils build a palace for themselves called Pandemonium which means ... and the comprehensiveness of the council scene. The departure of Satan is much more powerfully described than the departure of the Son: Then of their session ended they bid cry With trumpets' regal sound the great result: Toward the four winds four speedy cherubim Put to their mouths the sounding alchemy By herald's voice explained; the hollow abyss Heard far and wide, and all the host of Hell With ...
