- Heart of Darkness In Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, there is a great interpretation of the feelings of the characters and uncertainties of the Congo. Although Africa, nor the Congo are ever really referred to, the Thames river is mentioned as support. This intricate story reveals much symbolism due to Conrad's theme based on the lies and good and evil, which interact together in every man. Today, of course, the situation has changed. Most literate people know that by probing into the heart of the jungle ... about himself. "Every novel contains an element of autobiography-and this can hardly be denied, since the creator can only explain himself in his creations."(Kimbrough,158) The story is written as seen through Marlow's eyes. Marlow is a follower of the sea. His voyage up the Congo is his first experience in freshwater navigation. He is used as a tool, so to speak, in order for Conrad to ...
- 18072: Green Grass: Lionel Red Dog

Lionel was sent to Utah to deliver a speech on "The History of Cultural Pluralism in Canada's Boarding Schools." While there, he runs into a band of natives that coheres him into going to Wounded Knee for a peaceful rally. Along the way, the vehicle that Lionel is riding in is pulled ... taken to jail and, while there, he loses his job. This, in a way, is very similar to what happened to AIM (American Indian Movement) some years back. The natives were upset about the Government's neglect of treaties and grants.

MSN, RN on therapeutic touch and casual touch stress reduction of hospitalized children (1990), her study supported the use of therapeutic touch. She states "... the intervention of therapeutic touch will more quickly reduce the child's stress and provide comfort for a longer time, which eventually may decrease the hospital stay and decrease nursing work.". The author states that more research may need to be done with a larger sample and ... and relief of pain. I find this to be the strength of this study. A weakness of this study was its non-use of any pharmacological intervention and also the total subjectiveness of a person's pain rating.

Proctor vacillates between dishonesty and the upholding of society s and his own morals. In Act IV, anxiety permeates the air as Proctor puts his name on the confession; but somewhere between the quill and the quintessence of the tragedy, Proctor has a change of ... is when he emits the soul-wrenching cry, You will not use me! (142). And so, with these words, the first provision of a tragedy is furnished. Miller spares us the full repercussions of Proctor s decision by ending the play before the hangings. Still, it is evident what the consequence of Proctor s insistent grip on integrity will be: death. I find it much more fitting that Miller excludes ...
