Through these three works you will see examples of Rita Dove’s use of home in her poetry, her use of figurative devices such as similes and metaphors, and you will see Dove’s view on children coming of age in different ways. By looking at the poem "In the Old Neighborhood" we can deduce a number of things from the overall poem.

- ... her characters arbitrarily. Often the names of the characters will be used to express an idea or concept significant to the author. For example, in 1984 George Orwell named his hero after Winston Churchill, England's great leader during World War II and added a common last name: Smith. Also, in A Clockwork Orange Anthony Burgess felt his hero needed a noble name, nicely met by Alexander ("leader of men") the Great, and settled on Alex Delarge. While an author’s intentions in naming character may be less obvious, there is nearly always some subtle purpose. As evidenced in the aforementioned examples, naming can be a powerful device if properly used. In Beloved Toni Morrison utilizes ... more acceptable than Sixo. Their names demonstrate the same enumeration as Sixo, however they are preceded by the designation Paul to provide some semblance of a name. This minor distinction, between Sixo and the Paul’s names, could be indicative of the distinction between Garner and other slave owners.

- 6928: Thin Clients
- In an ideal world, it would be easy to deploy and manage the robust client/server applications that tap today s abundant PC power. But if you support a distributed computing environment built around the Wintel computing architecture, you know better. To a large extent, the culprit is a Microsoft OS deign that s not quite at home in the enterprise. While hundreds of add-on products promise to reduce cost of ownership though centralized desktop management, few deliver benefits that justify their costs.

- 6929: The Myth of Perfection

When Gregor Samsa, from "the Metamorphosis", attempts to be the perfect provider that his family expects him to be, he inadvertently turns his life into an insectoid existence. Likewise, when Nora from "A Doll's House" tries to live up to her husband's expectations of a perfect wife, she builds up enough self-hate to leave everything that she loves and start an entirely new life. Striving to be this ideal person, like attempting to acquire any ...
