... with "small, suspicious eyes" and a "long, cavernous mouth with puffy lips, behind which could be glimpsed small fragments of black teeth"--accurately reflects his foul, disgusting character. He has no respect for himself; he enjoys playing the part of the shameless "buffoon" for attention, even though the attention he receives is negative. Because he has no respect for himself, he can have no respect for others, either. He has no respect for women, for example; he is a despicable "voluptuary," and he satisfies his lust at any cost. He drives his wife to madness by bringing "women of ill-repute" into their house right in front of her. Even more shockingly ...

... their house and shot all four of them. There were two main characters. Dick is the first one that I will talk about. Dick was 33 years old and he did not have the best character. Dick was one who helped participate in the killing of the Clutter family. I didn't like him from the very beginning. He struck me as the type that is your friend one minute and enemy the next. Perry is the other charecter that I will talk about. Perry wasn't as bad as Dick but yet he still struck me as having a bad character for what he did to the family. It took me awhile to get a good impression of Perry. Perry was a really nice guy and I think that he just got mixed in with the wrong c ...

... on Christianity because the religions are alike in that they are both monotheistic, which can be good for drawing comparisons. Montesquieu believes that God is just and obedience to his laws is crucial. He does not see anything wrong with having different religions because all of them have precepts that are useful to society. All the different religions promote obedience to the law and require their followers to be good and just. He believes that even if there was no God these ideas can still help society function correctly. Montesquieu also criticizes numerous aspects of established religion and shows that he sees it as useless and so he responds to it ...

... do. Might just as well spen’ all my time tellin you things and you forget ‘em, and I tell you again. I could get along so easy, and so nice if I didn’t have you on my tail. I could live so easy and maybe have a girl.” George’s job is to work on a ranch “bucking grain bags bustin’ a gut.” Primarily, that is his official job, but the most important of them all is to watch his simple-minded friend, Lennie. George has to speak for Lennie, lest he slip away and give the reason why they ran out of weed. In the beginning of the book, the first impression is that George is harsh with Lennie, but in terms of the entire novel, we might say that he was, if anything, not stri ...

... had a very important client they were working for. They were going to make him a special bowl for his wife's birthday. Johnny was working all week on the handles he was to design. He came close to the end of the week but he still hadn't got it perfectly right. On Saturday he was told that he couldn't work because he couldn't work on Sabbath. So, Johnny told Mrs. Lampham about this and she said that he could secretly work on Sunday. While Johnny was working, One of the other workers handed him a broken piece which had a crack in the side. It broke and silver when everywhere. Johnny's hand went on the stove. He nearly burned it, it was completely silver on his p ...

... crises that allowed Reagan and Bush to come to office, was similar to the inefficacy of the Bush administration which allowed Bill Clinton to gain the presidency, one which declared "It's the economy, stupid" in its first term and promised "The end of big government" in its second. Berman contends that Clinton could not find a viable political alternative to the GOP and eventually focused on the federal deficit and economics, the legacy of Reagan and Bush. Further, the author argues Clinton continued to shift his politics away from the left and more toward middle-ground, to the point of co-opting numerous issues of the Republican agenda while still supporting pop ...

... allow the witches's predictions to come true. King Duncan's visit to Inverness would be his "fatal entrance" (1.5.35). "Unsex me here" (1.5.37) and "make thick my blood" (1.5.39) Lady Macbeth would say, wanting to have the courage and strength of a man. To have power, she must win the "golden round" (1.5.24) and become queen of Scotland. Lady Macbeth craves for her husband's success so much that she would "dash the brains out" (1.7.58) of her own child in order to achieve her goal. The strong ambition within her makes it seem as if she had no conscience or human feeling. Supernatural incidents are what mainly motivates her desire for power. Lady Macbeth woul ...

... kind of person to deal with them. Men going into World War I did not know - could not know - what kind of effects the war would have on them. They were not prepared for the gruesome situation they would see and encounter. They did not realize that they would see "…coffins and corpses lie strewn about…" [Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front (Ballantine Books, 1982), p. 71.] The war would change them permanently, and unfortunately, they did not realize this until they were actually faced with its brutality. They began to realize that "…a broken arm is better than a hole in the guts, and many a man would be thankful enough for such a chance of ...

... he is speaking about. In this chapter he recalls Jewel's purchase of his horse. This is a strong clue that Jewel is not Anse's son, since Anse is extremely lazy and would never work as hard as Jewel did for a horse. We also see the tension between Anse and Jewel. We see the lack of respect Jewel has for Anse. It is rather ironic when Anse says "He's just lazy, trying me" (p. 129) Since Jewel has been working really hard, and it is Anse who is lazy. Furthering on Jewel and Anse's relationship, I feel that it is fairly evident that Jewel knows that Anse is not his father. This is illustrated in the following section on page 136: "Jewel looked at Pa, his eyes ...
