His face was remarkably pleasant, although ... his eyes looked as if they belonged to a forty year old man and not a seventeen year old boy.

"I got you in my car, and you're a retard." "Fuck you," Aaron said, "I'll blast you Sylvester Stallone style." ...

- 4915: Animal Rights
- Animal Rights Many people feel that animals have no rights and are here solely for our use. Humans are animals too, we shouldn't take advantage of other animals just because they can't reason like us. Animals are used in medical research labs as experiments. These experiments are meant only to benefit humans. I'm not totally against testing,some good can come of it. But when are tortured and abused in the process then there is something wrong with it. For example in the early 1980's baboons were involved in experiments to find out more about comas. There was no care given to whether or not the animal would be hurt by this procedure. They just strapped the baboon to ...
- 4916: Privatisation Of Telstra
- What are the advantages of privatising Telstra and how does this impact it's ethical conduct while striving to satisfy community expectations? I believe that putting important public assets into select private hands is not in Australia's long-term interests, and oppose the partial/full sale of Telstra for the reasons that the Government has given. The argument the Government has given for the privatisation and corporatisation of Telstra has been a budget conscious one where the proceeds of Telstra will provide a "one-off" opportunity to: 1) abolish Telstra's pastoral call rate and provide untimed local calls in extended zones in remote Australia; 2) increase funding for Networking the nation; and 3) pay off foreign debt left over by the previous government However, ...

To Jack it is a sacrifice for the beast. This object shows that people will make religions and rituals to control their world, even ...
- 4918: The Odyssey The Role Of Prophe
- ... One relives the heroes struggles against innumerable odds, their battles against magical monsters, and the gods periodic intervention in mortal affairs.

This prophecy is usually critical to the plot line, and also to the well being of the main characters. Could Priam have survived in the Achaean camp if not ... Rocks if not for the gods advice of using a sacrificial bird (349). Moreover, prophecy can be negative as well as positive. Achilles was prophesied to die gloriously in battle if he chose his life s way as a warrior. Oedipus was exiled and condemned by his own words, after he slew his sire and wed his mother. This type of prophesy can blind even the gods themselves; Chronos was fated ... must be interpreted in terms of that action. Halitherses comments on the eagle attack after Telemakhos condemns the suitors (463-464); he correctly interests it to mean that if the suitors keep feeding off Odysseus s possessions they will be destroyed.

- The Canterbury Tales: The Friar Outwits The Summoner The Friar clearly outwits the Summoner in Geoffrey Chaucer’s marvelous novel, The Canterbury Tales. In “The Friar’s Tale” the friar cleverly portrayed an image of the summoner whereas in “The Summoner’s Tale,” the summoner relied upon vulgarity to depict a portrait of the friar. In “The Friar’s Tale” the summoner was shamefaced of his employment, but the friar in “The Summoner’s Tale” was ...

And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff- I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them.
