- ... James a murdering outlaw who was driven by a greed for money, while others sympathize with Jesse and view him as an American hero who had no choice but to turn to crime. . Ironically Jesses father was a Baptist preacher, but he did not have much if any influence on Jesse considering that his mother married three times.

He talks about one of the first players that he coached in college and how he blamed his lack of success on every other reason except the fact that he wasn't working hard enough.

- ... applied, strength in tact, we were set. Waiting for the moment when we were able to jump into the raft, and head down stream. Savoring our feet splashing in the chilly water. What we didn't know, was what the day was about to become, and how it could have changed our lives forever. Less than two hours from now, we would know. I was assigned to a raft with my ... my life is flashing before my eyes, I saw fearful people above the water. I was unbelievably frightened. I heard screams, and yelling from above water. Then I thought to myself, What if I can't see images of my life seconds from now? What if I can't feel terrified? What if I can't see the people just above me? Abruptly, as if I was released from a funnel cloud. I was pushed into the stream. Now I was gliding downstream. ...

Another satiric scene is where Norris told her family about her affair, but the circumstances were that she had the affair with Nick s gay partner and she was bearing his child. This is a very unusual example of satire because this sort of thing usually does not happen to a middle class society (or at least not that I have heard of). The family s reaction to this newfound information is very humorous because they act almost opposite as to what is expected. Hayes is almost ridiculing the middle class mentality and their views on life. Hayes also satirizes ...
- 23167: Christianity And Love Versus R
- ... can be sure to reach; most people live believing the existence of an afterlife, yet there has never been any proof of its actuality.

Using the characters like ... this human disaster. "Until now I (Rambert) always felt a stranger in this town, and that I'd no concern with you people. But now that I've seen what I have seen (the Oran's needs of help), I know that I belong here whether I want it or not. This business is everybody's business." (209-210) Camus implies that putting love as the first priority could be dangerous. Love can blindfold one's clear mind and therefore causes irrational actions. For example, Rambert's numerous attempts of ...
- 23168: Internet in the Classroom
- ... a LAN or group of LANs to the Internet is a digital leased line with a Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU), which costs between $600 and $1000. When budgeting for a school's Internet connection there are a number of factors to consider that might not seem immediately obvious. Technical support and training will incur additional ongoing costs, even if those costs show up only as an individual's time spent. Equipment will need to be maintained and upgraded as time passes, and even when all teachers have received basic Internet training, they will most likely have questions as they explore and learn more ... kindergarten through 12th grade[3]. Considering an average of about 50 classrooms per school, at an average cost of $1,000 per classroom for one connection(an extremely low estimate), this will give president Clinton's idea a price tag of roughly $4 billion.

- 23169: Impact of Television on Society
- ... as a worldwide provided of television news. A common criticism of currrent events of the tv media is that coverage tends to focus on western nations and Japan. Even the former Soviet Union since it's fragmentation attracts very little attention these days. Whole continents on the perfiery of news can be forgotten until a crisis occurs . A classic case here is the series of crises in Bosnia and Yugoslavia. Before this , many people would not have known where Albania was situated let alone know that it's capital was Tirana. The third world is consistently ignored by the media unless there is some super power conflict (Russia and Afghanistan) a threat to core interests, ( the threat to oil supplys by Iraq's invasion Kuwait) , sensational dramas (Hurricane in Honduras or floods in Bangladesh) sectarian muders and car bombs in Sri Lanka or famine in Etheopia or Angola. Post colonial relationships are good for a small amount ...

- ... New York Metro area, paved roads in and out of city parks, and the development of Jones Beach, now the most polluted and overcrowded piece of shoreline in the Northeast United States. In Stewart Udall's book The Quiet Crisis, the former Secretary of the Interior praises Moses. The JFK cabinet member calls the Jones Beach development "an imaginative solution ... (the) supreme answer to the ever- present problems of overcrowding" [Udall 163-4]. JFK's introduction to the book provides this foreboding passage: "Each generation must deal anew with the raiders, with the scramble to use public resources for private profit, and with the tendency to prefer short-run profits ... crisis may be quiet, but it is urgent" [Udall xii]. It is these long term effects that the developers of landfills often fail to consider. Oddly, the subject of landfills is never broached in Udall's book; in 1963 landfills were a non-issue. A modern state-of-the-art sanitary landfill is a graveyard for garbage, where deposited wastes are compacted, spread in thin layers, and covered daily with ...
