- 13071: Romeo And Juliet 8
- ... of stars. Romeo, speaking of Juliet in front of her bedroom after the party, talks of their meeting as something that is only going on in the heavens, not in real life. Romeo compares Juliet's eyes to twinkling stars: "... `Tis not to me she speaks./Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,/Having some business, do entreat her eyes/To twinkle Romeo also uses another image to show how the stars can't compare to Juliet's brightness: What if her eyes were there, they in her head?/The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,/As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven/Would through the airy region ...

The last words said over the flag- draped coffin were: "It is not given to everyone to die for his country, for freedom ...
- 13073: Pete Rose and The Hall of Fame
- ... in Major League Baseball history. Numerous baseball players come to mind when thinking about players who have committed crimes and done things against the law. For example, one of them is Ty Cobb. Ty Cobb's baseball records are also astounding compared to Pete Rose. While in his playing career, Ty Cobb admitted to killing a man. Cobb was walking down the street when a man supposedly jumped him with a knife. Cobb, who pulled out a gun, couldn't make it fire, so the man slit him up the back with his knife. The man then fled into a dead-end alley where Cobb beat him to death with the gun. "I used that ... Cobb was much worse than Pete Rose was but ironically was the very first man to enter the Hall of Fame. Another player who has been given chance after chance is the Chicago White Sox's Albert Belle. Albert Belle is known for his huge frame and loud bat, but he is also known for his outrageous temper. Once, Belle refused outright to shake hands with the man that once ...
- 13074: Alice In Wonderland By Lewis C
- Did you read and enjoy Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland books as a child? Or better still, did you have someone read them to you? Perhaps you discovered them as an adult or, forbid the thought, maybe you haven't discovered them at all! Those who have journeyed Through the Looking Glass generally love (or shun) the tales for their unparalleled sense of nonsense . Public interest in the books--from the time they were published ... a host of other absurd and captivating creatures sprung from the mind of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy, stammering Oxford mathematics professor. Dodgson was a deacon in his church, an inventor, and a noted children's photographer. Wonderland, and thus the seeds of his unanticipated success as a writer, appeared quite casually one day as he spun an impromptu tale to amuse the daughters of a colleague during a picnic. ...

- A Study of the Negro Policeman: Book Review Nicholas Alex, assistant professor of sociology at The City University of New York, holds a Ph.D. from the New School for Social Research and a B.S. from the Wharton School. He was formerly a research assistant with the Russell Sage Foundation, an instructor at Adelphi University, and has had working experience in his academic specialty-the sociology of professions and occupations ... and backgrounds. Alex was interested in preserving their anonymity, and substituted code numbers for names. The language in which their thoughts were expressed is unchanged. Most of the interviews were obtained either at the policeman's home or the authors. Some were held in parks, playgrounds, and luncheonettes. All of the interviews were open-ended. All the policemen refused to have there conversations taped. "I know too well what tapes can do to you," said one. "I can refute what you write down on that pad, but I can't if it's taped. We use tapes too, you know." The author was dealing with a highly expressive and literate group of men who thought of the study as a way in which they ...
- 13076: Animal Farm 7
- Alvin Kernan s observation that the beast fable is an effective literary tool is quite true. Storytellers have used beast fables since the story was invented. Something that has remained popular for so long must be somewhat effective. The representation of people as animals reduces their characters to the most basic stereotypes. The reader doesn t have to waste time in trying to figure out the character s personalities. In short, their inside is represented on the outside by their own physical being. One of the first and most obvious of Orwell s stereotypes is exemplified by the pigs. They represent the ...
- 13077: I Am . . . ?
- ... struggle. A struggle to find a purpose. A meaning. All humans seem to be searching for that simple, yet elusive trait that makes them individuals. It is called “identity.” The main character in John Okada’s novel No-No Boy, Ichiro Yamada, faced this dilemma. Being Japanese-American following W.W.II made his struggle just a little bit harder, though. The aforementioned quotation is a summarization of Ichiro’s inability to find his identity. Many factors affected Ichiro’s struggle, including his experience of being born and raised in the United States, the Japanese influence of his mother, and his internal struggle dealing with his label as a “no-no boy.” Being a ...
- 13078: Black Panthers
- In 1966, the national Black Panther party was created. Their platform and it’s ideals struck a chord with blacks across the country, especially in the inner cities of the north. The Panthers were able to organize and unite these blacks. This alarmed the federal government. They instituted many ... did things that helped the community. They set up breakfast, and helped people to clean up their neighborhoods. The Black Panthers gave many urban black communities a sense of unity and identity that they hadn’t had before.

You shall make no more war on unarmed people. You ...
- 13079: Penguins and Their Eyes
- Penguins and Their Eyes Myopic little men in tuxedos, or highly efficient land/water animals? Recent research indicates there's more to penguins than meets the eye. If you've every wondered what it would be like to be able to see as clearly under water as you can on land, just ask the nearest ... Through a special slowing-down of their heart rate they're able, like many other diving animals, to stay submerged long enough to search out and chase whatever catches their fancy. On dry land, it's a different story-or has been up to now. Waddling along on their flat little feet, eyes fixed intently on the ground, penguins appear myopic, inefficient and generally out of place. In fact the reverse ... well over 100,000. The general rule is, the smaller the penguin, the meaner the temperament, and the researchers did witness the odd fight. Their flippers may look pretty useless out of water, but it's not smart to play around with a penguin. Hel'll stand his ground in a face-off and if you're foolish enough to get too close, those flippers can knock you flat. Dr. ...
- 13080: Creative Writing: A Day at the Park
- Creative Writing: A Day at the Park It was a day I was subconsciously waiting my whole life for, but I didn't realize it until it was happening. The day was August 8, 1996, just 25 days before my son's first birthday. The Texas Rangers, my favorite baseball team, were in town to play the K.C. Royals. I had always dreamed of one day, taking my son to his first Rangers game. A father taking his son to a baseball game is just the American thing to do, and there I was, taking my son "out to the ball game"; Americas favorite pastime. I hadn't been to see a Ranger game in years and had been wanting to, for quite a while. But like many other young married couples, we didn't really seem to have the time, nor ...
