- 12331: Snow White
- ... a month, though, before remarrying an extremely buxom brunette. Unlike her real mother, Snow White disliked her cruel step-mother.

The King, ever the protector of his Queen, would refuse to step in and defend his daughter. By age 12 Snow White had really grown ... a nearly full fledged woman. Even at this age finding proper "support" became difficult with a size double "D". Even she was surprised by the growth; however, no one was more surprised than Snow White's stepmother. The Queen, even in her younger days, had always had the largest mammary glands in the kingdom. With the sudden growth of Snow White the Queen began to doubt herself. So she went to ... the Queen and the Queen became insanely jealous. So she went back to the mirror. "Mirror, mirror on the wall who has the largest mammary glands of them all?"

She goes from a quiet, reserved lady, to an outspoken ... weeks go on, her attitude changes greatly. Her response to Robert is one of love and passion. “I love you,” she whispered “only you, no one but you…” (page 179, fifth paragraph). Edna often doesn’t understand her emotions and what is going on in her head, and she also frequently misinterprets them. Because of this she is a very unpredictable character, her actions and words are inconsistent in their messages ... on sleeping and dreaming- but to wake up and find- oh! well! perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even if to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusions all one’s life.” She seemed to welcome her awakening and, at first, enjoyed it. There were drawbacks to it though, just as benefits. People around her were deeply hurt by some of her independent, and sometimes ...
- 12333: Ishmael
- ... our existence is the same driving force that propells us to extinction. I believe that Quinn illustrated this idea superbly with his narrative of the aeronauts. Man knew that he could fly but he didn’t know all the rules. And instead of leaving it be until he did he was so sure of himself that he made his attempts blindly and came to a much quicker end than if he hadn’t tried at all. Toward the middle of the book my ability to accept Quinn’s ideas began to waiver. I believe this began when Quinn starting explaining the whys of man’s perceived destiny through religion or man’s need to overcome his religion. Now, I do believe that ...
- 12334: Connecticut Yank

Hank Morgan is a nineteenth century mechanic who is transported back thirteen centuries to medieval Britain, during the time of ... the idea that a quick change in a civilization brings disaster. Civilization and change need to be developed, or at least explained within the culture itself, in order for them to become lasting institutions. Hank's failing is that he believes that he is superior to everyone, and that he can change the society of Camelot simply by introducing technology. Hank becomes "the boss" of Camelot, and begins his plans to ... from his own; he is the ultimate know-it all, and sets out to remake the world in his own image. He is given "the choicest suite of apartments in the castle, after the king's"(Twain 31), but he criticizes them because they lack the conveniences of the nineteenth century, such as "a three-color God-Bless-Our-Home over the door"(Twain 32). His lack of acceptance of ...
- 12335: Fate
- ... ability to change it. Its been proven time and time again that the human mind can over come any obstacle. An asset to the mind is a persons will. With the combination of a person’s mind and their will to decide there own destiny this thing called fate can be over come. Some people say that a person’s fate is pre destined. That nothing they do in life is by accident and everything that you do has been decided by a higher power. If that were so than why would this being of higher intelligence waste his time on some that he planned out. He already knows how it going to turnout so why even blow centuries of time watching this boring play. I don’t know about you but I someone tells me the ending to the movie then why waste time waiting for what you already know is going to happen. Another popular opinion is that a persons ...
- 12336: "The Typical Abnormal Teen"
- ... of feelings and emotions with barbed wire wrapped around it. He is sarcastic, nasty, and completely unlikable. He also gives the impression that he does not care. Holden Caulfield, the protagonist in J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, is every teenager caught between the juvenility of high school and the fear of adulthood. The inability to be understood is one of the trademark characteristics of the typical teenager ... world; no one understands what is going on in his head. Holden also uses colloquial speech instead of forming sentences with proper words and grammar. Many reviews of The Catcher in the Rye say Holden's words "accurately capture the informal speech of the average intelligent, educated, northeastern American adolescent". Most teenagers, today and when the book was written, use slang as a way to individualize themselves. It separates teenagers from ... theme of materialism also gives insight to the average teenager. Many situations illustrate how absurd teenagers act over materialistic objects.

You think if they’re intelligent and all, the ...

- Lantau's "Do You See What I See": Main Points In the short essay written by Kelly Lantau entitled “Do you see what I see?” she describes her feelings about how certain people see the world around us. I agree with Kelly's point, every person in this world sees things differently than another person. I mainly believe this because people are brought up in different households and all families are different. I feel all families are different ... have not been forced to go to school or even finish school. This is just another way that families are different in family values or morals. These are the reasons that I support Kelly Lantau's view of seeing the world around us as different depending on the person. Another main point of Kelly's essay is respecting people's differences.

- ... of the evil that dwelled in his heart, Grendel would never know what they love of G-d felt like. No amount of money, or treasure could ransom the lives of the people from Grendel s wrath.

- 12340: Brave New World
- Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World out of fear of society's apparent lack of morals and corrupt behaviour during the roaring twenties.

The most important of these predictions include: greater sexual freedom, over-population, brain-washing/sleep-teaching, and the use of mind altering drugs.

Sexual promiscuity appears to be a much more frequent activity now then it was ...
