- 16144: Ghosts 2
- In his play Ghosts , Ibsen forces the reader to think about his own ideas and believes, as well as those of society and past ages. Symbolism is one technique repeatedly used to portray the author s ideas through rain, light, fire, the orphanage, Oswald, and through Engstrand himself.

- 16145: The Painted Bird
- ... it as a way something is done -- the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others --rather than what it is.

The use of both organic and conventional form throughout the book draws the reader closer to the horrific encounters the young boy ...

After looking at a few packages, it should be pretty clear to the consumer that any mid-range system will run 99% of the available software. A person should only need a top-of-the-line system for professional applications such as graphic design, video production, or engineering. Software tends to lag behind hardware, because it's written to reach the widest possible audience. A program that only works on the fastest Pentium Pro system has very limited sales potential, so most programs written in 1985 work just fine on a fast '486, or an entry-level Pentium system. More importantly, very few programs are optimized to take advantage of a Pentium's power. That means that even if the consumer pays a large premium for the fastest possible system, he may not see a corresponding increase in performance. Buying the latest computer system is like buying ...
