- ... to college. Rudy had the same style of free upbringing that most Americans at that time had.. Yolanda was raised by a stern father, who left no room for argument.

- 7974: Ophelia: The Tragedy Of Love
- ... importunity. Fear it, Ophelia, fear it, my dear sister. (1.3.30-33) As mentioned above, Laertes does not solely speak of Hamlet in these lines. He paints an ugly picture of love in the world. As well as urging Ophelia to guard her virginity, he plants the idea that love is unworthy and that a lover is not to be trusted. Virginity is something to be strongly guarded in a world where all me are false. Poor young innocent Ophelia undoubtedly took his advise without knowing the hypocrisy in his statements. Laertes is heading for France and will, no doubt, meet a few 'ladies.' No one urges Laertes to guard his virginity. When Polonius dishes out his own brand of advice for Laertes, there is no single point dealing with the unkind world of love. This is one example of the hypocrisy and double standard between the sexes which continues to this day. In contrast to Laertes, Polonius is much crueler to Ophelia. He extends no tenderness ...

It was the day of April 19,1861 when these two Lowell men lost their lives. Although there were two other men who lost their lives in this tragic Civil war they are not as historically recognized like Ladd and Whitney. There names were Needham of Lawrence, and Charles A.

- 7976: Teletubbies!
- Teletubbies! Teaching children how to make sense of our almost insane world is not something I say I can do, but saying that 4 technological babies can. Is going to take a certain amount of explaining. My reaction to this children’s phenomenon is that the Teletubbies ... I view this as a bit of a hindrance that when children should be learning mostly from their parent or guardian. Are learning baby talk and simple movements there should be equilibrium of the adult world and children world demonstrated on the show. In closing the Teletubbies although strange to an adult is definitely a good thing for children to watch on television. Every thing they do may not be realistic but children ...
- 7977: Johnny Tremain
- ... his hands is badly burnt from an accident and he is scarred for life. He will never become a silversmith, a profession he aspires to be. With a shattered dream, he journeys out into the world of Boston to find himself another trade. There he meets Rab who is a sixteen-year old lad of few words. He is nevertheless calm, kind and caring. He is dedicated to his work at ... to my own life. Reading this book, I can see a lot of myself in Johnny. Like Johnny before his accident I was quit narrow-minded, impatient and arrogant. I was living in an isolated world. Since I was doing fine in school, I didn’t see the need for improvement. I became quite complacent. Then several months ago, at the urge of my parents, I started to apply for admission ... with the admission officers and students. I then took the SSAT test. The whole process humbled me. I realized how little I knew and that there are a lot of smarter people out in this world. They do not only do the minimum but go a step further and strive for excellence. This experience broadens my perspective. I hope from now on I will work harder and be a more ...
- 7978: Jesus, Paul, And Mohammed: Com
- ... did play a considerable role in the shaping of civilizations, it is no coincidence that these three people are respectively the three most important people in the founding of the top two religions in the world. Also Hart s ranking of these three men will be analyzed, and compared to my own rankings of these three influential men. In Hart s book, The 100, he regards all three of these men ... from this statement most people would believe that Hart is already wrong, and that Jesus should be one. In some sense those who believe that Jesus are right because the amount of Christians in the world almost doubles that of the Moslems. Yet if we carefully look at Hart s reasons for ranking them the way he does, you would see that his ranking seems more understandable. First we should start ... I believe that the person should have his own ideas and beliefs, because it always seems to be the people who are considered to be the crazy ones who are the people that change the world. Another quality I believe is important is to have a great sense of leadership and courage. I believe that a person who is able to rally together a bunch of people, whether it be ...
- 7979: Kundun: An Analysis
- ... plight of the Tibetans. In the beginning of the film one of the monks recites, "May I be the doctor and the medicine, and may I be the nurse for all sick beings in the world until everyone is healed…may I be a bridge, a boat, a ship for all those who wish to cross the water." Later in the film, the Dalai Lama says, "Wisdom and compassion will set ... that the communists invaded Tibet, waving their red flags, causing mass violence and injustice while usurping Tibet's freedom. Although Kundun accurately depicts history as it is seen by Tibet and viewed by the Western world it neglects to recognize that there is another perspective to the story that needs to be considered. The Chinese obviously did not view themselves as cruel oppressors. Rather, they saw themselves as quite the opposite ... the effects of ethnocentrism and instrument bias that initially, and sometimes permanently, blind us from seeing that our ideas and philosophies do not necessarily hold true all the time or in different parts of the world. Though the use of special effects a few gruesome incidents of children being forced to kill their parents are depicted. Images of the Chinese destoying monastaries and bombing civilans as well as that of ...
- 7980: Are Traditional Methods Of Rendering Obsolete Or Not
- Are Traditional Methods Of Rendering Obsolete Or Not Introduction Even though at the moment were all in a world of increasing 'High Tech' reproduction of images and text both mechanically and electronically I feel there will always be a place for the more traditional hand drawn methods of rendering images and type and that it is not inevitably doomed but only lying dormant until we can escape from the world of the repeated style of the computer. The future of the traditional methods The 1980's saw some of the first computer aided design. The software has gradually become easier to understand yet capable of far more complex procedures. Nowadays it is available to anyone in their own home for as little as a thousand pounds. The world of design has been put under the spell of the Apple Macintosh, digital cameras and image manipulation software. Almost everything that we now see has been altered or produced on the computer, any thing ...
