- 19162: Short Happy Life Of Francis Ma
- ... the story the Macombers have a turbulent relationship. Their relationship seems to be a power struggle, each one has a hold on the other that they believe, or want, to be stronger than the other's hold.

This is ... previously realized. The real problems begin when Macomber, Wilson and Margot go hunting lions.

- 19163: The Advantures Of Huck. Fin
- Books are known for teaching lessons. In Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain satirically presents the situation of how people of different color were treated unjustly, while at the same time amusing his readers. Isnt it ironic that the character that grows on you most is Jim, the black runaway slave, who society looks down upon most during the time period of this book? Jim is treated poorly as a ... challenged to make a decision on impact concerning the safety of Jim, such as the incident when the men are looking for blacks, his heart always seems to pilot him to the direction of Jims benefit, even though almost all of the rest of society would object to his decisions during this period of time. You can also see Hucks distress and sorrow for the fact that Jim has to buy his family back in order to see them again. This absolutely breaks Hucks heart. Back in the 1800s, blacks were considered property, ...
- 19164: The Color Purple - The Struggl
- ... women were not able to vote until the 1920. Therefore colored women had a double edged sword, they had to fight for freedom, but not be to dominate as to effect the men. Alice Walker's The Color Purple is a good example of colored women's plight. Three obstacles black women had to overcome to be able to express themselves were Racism, the lack of education, and the stereo-type that women are inferior. African-Americans have always experienced racism throughout ... someone inappropriately, but if a black man was lynched, nothing happened. "I have been locked by the lawless. Handcuffed by the haters. Gagged by the greedy. And, if I know any thing at all, it's that a wall is just a wall and nothing more at all. It can be broken down" (Shakuer). This excerpt from "Affirmation" is an example of the feelings of hatred for the Whites. However, ...
- 19165: Maquila Work as Empowerment
- ... people who live there, especially women. It is a common misconception that all the effects are bad. A woman who works in a maquiladora to support her family certainly does not feel that the Maquila's coming is a harmful thing, without the work provided in the factory, her family would not be able to survive. Perhaps her husband's work is not enough to support her family or maybe there is no husband, but there are kids, hungry ones. To a woman in this situation, the coming of these companies to her towns is ... alliances which enable them to form unions and to demand better working conditions. Although many of these uprisings are put down by drastic and many times violent means, this is still an example of women's empowerment. Third world women who are employed outside the home set a better example for their younger daughters to follow. Although these jobs may seem undesirable ,even terrible to most it is still bringing ...
- 19166: Gut issues
- ... We share many experiences with the kings of old: pastries, for instance, and home entertainment and vacation trips to far-off lands. Ancient-day common folk knew nothing of such things. Then again, they weren't constipated... We are. Not all of us, of course. But enough Canadians so that some doctors call our a constipated society. And even if you're not constipated, your present day diet may be leading ... stomach and small intestine and end up in the colon where billions of bacterial feed on them - in turn producing intestinal gas. No wonder, then, that dietary fibre has been unwelcome in many of history's nicer neighborhoods. Even 20th century doctors reasoned that since the bulky material provided not a single nutrient, it would only strain already troubled guts. Accordingly, they recommended low-fibre diets for patients suffering from hemorrhoids ... West. But then, about 15 years ago, the prescription was reversed as researchers found that poor Africans, who eats lots of fibre, rarely suffer from such complaints.

Soon, nutritionists came to see the low-fibre diet of most North Americans as a culprit in the onset of disorders ranging from tooth decay ...

- ... his thoughts. Although he had no artistic background, Michelangelo decided he wanted to be an artist. At first, this angered his father, who really was just in search of money. Then, after many debates, Michelangelo's father gave in and allowed him to take an apprenticeship under Domenico Ghirlandaio. His work at the hands of his teacher caught the eye of Lorezno Medici the Magnificent, the power in Florence. Lorenzo invited ... Mary sculpture made his competitor Pieta so angry, that he carved his name on the statue. At this point, Michelangelo was being relied upon for the money of his family, including his father. Also, Michelangelo's brother, Bonoretto got sick, which upset Michelangelo much. He paid for all the medical bills of his brother. Later on, he moved back to Florence. Here he was called upon to carve a badly damaged piece of marble into a statue. As usual, he worked in private for four years, and created David, a 14 foot tall statue of the King of Israel. Despite Michelangelo's accomplishments, he still had competitors. Leonardo Da Vinci criticized Michelangelo, saying that sculptors only needed the strength, not the skill, to produce their work. This upset Michelangelo very much, and coincidentally, they were both ...

- ... simple, he started when he was young, drawing sketches and getting a quarter for it or a free haircut. Is it possible that a man who spent his childhood drawing farm animals on his uncle's farm, would in later years be labeled a Rembrandt?
