... she says, "A pretty pet! It is best put finger in the eye, an she knew why." (Pg. 16), she is not acting maliciously but rather calling out for attention. In contrast to all the flattery that Bianca receives, the only time people ever talk about Katherina is when she acts like a shrew. A more vulnerable side to Katherina actually surfaces when she arrives at Petruchio's house. As Petruchio taunts her with food, she exclaims, "I pray you husband, be not so disquiet: The meat was well, if you were so contented." (Pg. 70) Disposing of the invincibility she maintains in Padua, she hungrily entreats her new husband to be reasonable. Taking off the fierce ma ...

... worldwide in researching his novels, lives in Southampton, New York, with his wife Victoria Lustbader, who works for the Nature Conservancy. Well, I don’t want to give the whole story away in this report, so I am going to summarise the story very briefly.

The Ninja is a high-voltage novel of intrigue and sensuality, richly characterised, fuelled by relentless suspense, an extraordinary thriller, least to say. If there’s a main character in the book I ...

... I will discuss specifically quantitative utilitarianism as presented by Jeremy Bentham. In this essay I will present the argument of Bentham supporting his respective form of utilitarianism and I will give my critique of this argument along the way. Before the main discussion of the Bentham's utilitarianism gets underway, lets first establish what utilitarianism is. As stated in the introduction, utilitarianism is a teleological philosophy that is primarily concerned with the results of an action when determining the nature of that act. Utilitarianism operates primarily under the greater happiness principal, in other words, utilitarians believe that one should only ...

... inside the wallpaper, the yellow wallpaper, and the final passage of the story all serve as symbols to the central theme of male dominance and the societal oppression of women during this time period. The narrator sets up the story to convey a certain opinion on the repercussions that a woman faces in the care of a man. The wife loves her husband, but she has an underlying feeling that maybe his prescription of total bed rest is not working for her. The story mentions that she has an older brother who is also a physician and concurs with her husband's theory, thus leaving her no choice but to subject herself to the torment of being alone in the room with the yel ...

... or doing other things, so they could look like Barbie. But it wont happen, Barbie is a doll. People are real not Barbie dolls. In the poem it shows how the lady wants to be pretty. So the lady takes short cuts to make her self look better to her self. Such as being in a candle lit rooms. But when the lady is in a regular lit room she becomes ugly to her self again.

And this could hurt somones self esteem, and could damage the way someone looks upon ones self. In the poem the girl tries to make her self prettier, by creating artificial prett ...

... makes up of about fifteen percent of the population. All of the daily administration is handled by the Outer Party. The Outer Party is described as small, powerless, and indispensable. It is the equivalent of a middle class. The Inner party selects a small number of the Outer party to join the Inner Party. Then there are the Proles who make up the rest of the population.

... points made, including the need for children to be stimulated mentally beginning at an early age, are crucial. Armed with this information, any parent would be likely to spend more time with their children in an effort to ensure their ultimate success in life. It is a parent's responsibility and obligation to provide their children with the strongest mental armament available in order to enter the intellectual battlefield that will be their future. Those who are not properly intellectually prepared for life will fall to the bottom of the socioeconomic strata. They will live a life of strife including substandard education, substandard health, substandard wealt ...

... prominent members of society. Anne Hutchinson’s place in society is stated in this quote, “Hutchinson persuaded her husband to remove their family to Boston, Massachusetts, in September 1634, where their gentry status and piety assured them a prominent position in the Puritan colony”(“Anne Hutchinson.(religious leader)” 2). On the other hand, Hester did not become a respectable member in society until she was charged with adultery. People’s thoughts of her are shown here, “Such helpfulness was found in her,--so much power to sympathize,--that many people to interpret the Scarlet A by its original signification. The ...

... and it was clearly stated in many of the writings that came from this period. The characteristic that defined many of the poets poem's of the Renaissance was love, and it was one of those emotions that can be seen throughout much of the literature that was written during that time period. Therefore, I plan to take a look at some the text that deals with the emotion of love and to show that it had a very powerful way of controlling a man's heart and mind, and I also plan to show that love was a reoccurring theme of many of the poets writing during the Renaissance. Wyatt and Surrey were two contemporary poets that wrote on the issue of love. Both of the poets de ...

... the corruption brought by wrong ways and deceitful ideas, which contradicted theirs. Therefore, there is only one method of attaining this position. Unfortunately, they must force all the divergent beliefs to follow the supposedly righteous path by erasing their cultures, there upon accommodating to a new religion against their will, only if they are to stay in puritan towns. But again there is nothing more than the puritan establishments and the unknown wilderness. Enforcing this new set of laws which apparently are very similar to those of their persecutors back in England, a stern religious devotion ought to be implemented. As a result truth will be erroneously ...
