The connection, which binds this gap in reality, was made clear through a new found compassion, consummating Holden’s place in society through the realization of his surroundings from which he successfully crosses over.

- By: Cynthia Rhymes E-mail: CRhymes@hotmail.com December 21, 1999 The Hope, and Hype, of Cord Blood By DENISE GRADY Should parents pay a blood bank to store the blood from their newborn baby's umbilical cord and placenta, in case that child or another family member ever needs it to treat cancer or leukemia? Expectant parents are being urged to do so by companies that have sprung up during ... blood can sometimes be used in place of a bone marrow transplant. Like bone marrow, cord blood is rich in stem cells, which can churn out many different types of cells to rebuild a patient's blood supply and immune system after high doses of radiation and chemotherapy. And a patient's own cord blood, or that from a relative, is more likely than cord blood from an unrelated donor to be a good tissue match and to be accepted by the recipient's body. Some ...

- 6087: Just Whom Is Edmund Gosse’s Father And Son Written For?
- Just Whom Is Edmund Gosse’s Father And Son Written For? Just whom is Edmund Gosse’s Father and Son written for? Is it for the Father, or for the Son, or, as Edmund Gosse tells us, for the public, so they can have a record of life in a rigidly religious ... these methods that Edmund uses to sway our thinking actually serve only to benefit Edmund Gosse himself.

This is not the only narcissistic angle of the book. Even when reiterating episodes in the life of the Gosse’ ...

One does not usually make the connection between communication and other institutions such as business. Good business, however, goes hand in hand with good communication. Good managers and professionals realize that the ability to communicate is not a silly frill; it’s a necessity that helps all accomplish their work (Murphy 2). Therefore the question is often posed: Are these problems of poor communications that face managers and professionals becoming more and more critical? The evidence suggests ... than the organization itself grows” (Morris 3).

- 6089: Death of a Salesman : A Social Criticism
- ... No one, not even Miller himself, can fully agree on who Willy Loman is or what his motivations are; whether or not he is a tragic hero, or precisely what the show says about today's American society. It may be "an attack on capitalism" (Weales xv) but certainly "it cannot... be reduced to an old-fashioned propaganda play" (Weales xv) by any stretch. The inability its audience to precisely pin down its message is at the heart of the play's success, for everyone who sees or reads it will think something different about the protagonist, the plot, the theme, even the genre. As with all great literature, the opinions continue to grow and change with each generation so that the book will never be closed on Death of a Salesman. Because it would take a short tome to discuss all the classic arguments on Miller's excellent work, the focus of this theme will be on Salesman's value as a comment on society. Willy does not meet America's twentieth century economic standards of success, therefore he is seen ...
