- Recently in a local hearing clinic, a client’s concerns were discussed. “I’m afraid I won’t like them.

In order to accomplish this, hearing aid manufacturers must answer the most often heard complaint: “It doesn’t work well in noise.” Unfortunately, a hearing aid will never be able to accomplish the sifting and sorting that is carried out in the human brain.

- ... on his behalf. This was surprising because she was a woman, a commoner, and a foreigner by birth. Anxious to avoid a civil war, it was the older prelates of the church who supported Elena's regency.

- 9455: Jane Eyre - Love
- ... novel though it is that which she seeks. Her painful childhood experiences create an emotional center derived from this pain. Thus, she views love as consuming and it is not a high priority in Jane's life. She accepts the fact that she will probably live her life in loneliness.

Jane "dared commit no fault: [she] strove to fulfill every duty; [she] was termed naughty and tiresome, sullen and sneaky, from morning to noon, and from noon to night" (Bronte, 22). Trying to act in accordance with Mrs. Reed and the Reed children, never purposely committing a fault, Jane was continuously "naughty" in Mrs. Reed's eye. Living a childhood such as Jane's, one would expect a self-willed and rebellious personality to emerge. "I was a discord at Gateshead Hall; I was like nobody there…If they did ...

- 9457: Identity In Sula
- Many works of contemporary American fiction involve one individual's search for identity in a stifling and unsympathetic world. In "Sula," Toni Morrison gives us two such individuals. In Nel and Sula, Morrison creates two individual female characters that at first are separate, grows together, and then is separated once more. Although never physically reconciled, Nel's self discovery at the end of the novel permits the achievement of an almost impossible quest - the conjunction of two selves. Morrison says she created Sula as "a woman who could be used as a ... thus, creates two completely different women yet allows them to merge into one.

But the two women's separate journeys and individual searches for their own selves leads to nothing but despair and Sula's death.

- ... and England Introduction In 1994, the Globe and Mail reported that question period in the Alberta legislature had turned into a “rowdy exchange.” Liberal leader Laurence Decore had requested that Premier Klein clarify his government's vague reference to piloting charter schools in the speech from the throne. Klein responded that he was not exactly sure what a charter school was. The ensuing uproar forced the speaker to close the house ... that is a little fuzzy about charter schools. (Barlow, 204) Our class poll of Prince George citizens revealed that not many understand what a charter school is. In spite of his claim of ignorance, Klein's government passed charter legislation in 1994, and at present eight charter schools are in operation in Alberta. Further, the Mike Harris government in Ontario has begun to investigate the viability of charter schools in spite of fervent opposition from school trustees and the Teacher's unions.
