Salinger’s description of Ossenburger. It is not a stereotype, but more of a routine for big shots to prepare themselves to talk to the so-called “lower class”. Even the front runners for presidency use this ... about God, and then they are ready to get down to business. In chapter 3 of the novel the reader is introduced to the character Ackley. Ackley is described as “a terrible personality.” Why doesn’t Holden or any of the other guys in the school tell Ackley how bad his teeth are and how bad his personality is? Sometimes people don’t speak of things that annoy them to the actual person that is annoying them.

Fitzgerald's novel takes its place among other novels whose insights into the nature of the American dream have not affected the artistic form of the novel itself. The Great Gatsby serves as Fitzgerald's critique ...
- 14324: Bioremediation Of Explosives In Contaminated Soil
- Bioremediation of Explosives in Contaminated Soil Abstract TNT is not the kind of substance that most people think of composting, but it can be done! At several U.S. Army depots, the water used in processing explosives was disposed of through evaporation from unlined lagoons. This has resulted in sediments and soils that are contaminated with TNT (2,4,6- trinitrotoluene) and its derivatives ... tetraazocine). One way of cleaning up these sediments is by incinerating them. A less expensive and more environmentally friendly method is "bioremediation," or use of natural biological and chemical processes to degrade the contaminants. That's where composting comes in.

When combined with more conventional compost ingredients such as manures, sawdust, straw, and fruit and ... 1996) Many manufacturing sites contain explosives.

- 14330: Antigone: The Structure of Classical Tragedy and The Theme
- Antigone: The Structure of Classical Tragedy and The Theme The structure of classical tragedy supports the theme of Antigone.

This is seen in Antigone’s first quote of the play beginning on line four, "… On us while we yet live? Unhappiness, Calamity, disgrace, dishonour—which of these have you and I not known?" The classical tragedy, by beginning in medias res, causes uneasiness within the audience. Though most viewers know the basic story line, the audience immediately questions the reasons for Antigone’s distress. Again beginning on line 13, Ismene wails, "We two sisters were robbed of our two brothers on one day when each destroyed the other." The attention of the audience is grabbed. More questions ...
