- 1512: The Great Leapfrog Contest And
- ... a warm and caring mutual love. At the beginning of the story Joe Mortimer is portrayed as a loving and caring husband who worries about his wife and reassures her about her infertility saying Don t say that. Don t talk like that... This response initially evokes a positive response from the reader towards the character Joe. Similarly, Mrs. Mortimer is portrayed as comforting, kind and gentle and this womanly nature is conveyed when she says to Joe I want you. Don t be afraid of that. Hence, the relationship established between the farm couple is one of mutual friendship and love. The reader is positioned to respond favourably towards the two characters. In much the same ...
- 1513: The Miseducation of Victorian Women
- ... Barrett Browning does not directly state this, I think that she would agree that the “education” that Aurora Leigh and many women of the Victorian era received was not a true education at all. Webster’s dictionary defines “educate” as, “to develop mentally and morally esp. by formal instruction.” It is clear from Aurora Leigh that the education of women in this time does not encourage development of any kind but ... to adorn society with their appearance, their voices, their instrumental abilities, their dancing skills, their knowledge of obsolete information, and of course their most elegant and proper demeanor. In Aurora Leigh, Aurora describes her aunt’s expectation of English women in the Victorian society to be “models to the universe.” (pg 19 line 446). Therefore, the education that Aurora receives is meant to train her to fulfill this ridiculous standard. Aurora, however, clearly finds her aunt's concept of education to train her for nothing of importance, let alone to be a model to the universe. The only thing that Aurora's education disciplines her in is the art of needless ...
- 1514: A Separate Peace - Phineas And Gene
- ... with Phineas. "I had seen him at a distance around the school the previous winter, and gotten the impression he was bigger than I."(J. Knowles, 100) This quotation shows our first introduction with Gene's insecure character. One can see this because he immediately assumed Phineas to be "bigger than I,"(100) instead of waiting to meet him and then forming an opinion that maybe Phineas would be pleasant. His first impression of him was as a bully, therefore, we think that Gene is afraid of him, which would make him insecure. Another example of Gene's insecurity occurs just after Gene and Phineas meet. "That first day, standing in our comfortless room amid his clothes, he began to talk and I began to listen."(100) This quotation shows that Gene was ... insecure about his ideas and point of view. Throughout the story we also see Gene to be very envious of Phineas. An example of this occurs when Phineas and Gene were discussing sex. " I wasn't going to be opened up like that suitcase, to have him yank out all my thoughts and feelings and scatter them underfoot."(101) This quote shows how Gene was reluctant to tell his stories ...
- 1515: Ozzy Osbourne
- Ozzy Osbourne Ozzy Osbourne’s music is liked by so many people because of how his lyrics deal with real life experiences. Ozzy writes a lot about what feels or what he has done.

These two characteristics have made Ozzy Osbourne a very popular musician in the U.S and in Europe. Like when Ozzy went to meet the big time record executives at CBS record company, his wife Sharon wanted him to make a big impression so she suggested that he release ...
- 1516: MS Vs DOJ
- I believe that Microsoft has the best intensions for society, because they are constantly developing the software market into a more competitive and challenging industry. Microsoft’s success as a company is partly due to its commitment to making the best product possible and strategic business practices. The first reason Microsoft is not a monopoly is because of the standardized quality of ... The standardized quality of MS Windows98 has really made the PC market as a whole take a rocket boost from the past. Most people who oppose this stance would say that standardizing a product wouldn’t cause anything but a monopoly. This is fiction because people choose products that are simply reliable and of good quality. The success of Microsoft’s operating system hasn’t been used to cause a monopoly in the browser marker, but to increase the quality of their software. A statement from Bill Gates on the 7th of December stating “ I ...
- 1517: Beatles 2
- ... Was it something in the sound of the instruments? Could it have been the bass beat, or maybe the guitar playing? What about their lyrics? They had a certain personality, too. Was that it? Let's look at each of these, and some other factors as well. What is the first thing you wonder when you hear something new on the radio? You wonder who sings it. The first thing you ... an album is who sings or performs it. Hmm? This suggests the power of a catchy title. Something out of the ordinary to catch the eye. Something misspelled, perhaps? The Beetles? No, The Beatles. What's in their name? In the words of Beatle John Lennon, "when you hear it, the name is little crawly things. When you see it, it's "beat" music." I think that's quite attractive to a record store browser, don't you? Of course, another thing that could catch a browsing customer would be the pictures on the album. The ...
