... as well as managing several houses of prostitution, has made for her. When asked of any shame about her job by her daughter she states, "Well of course dearie, it's only good manners to be ashamed of it: it's expected of a woman." This statement shows that the only reason that one would be ashamed of it is because of society says that one should be. She feels that the restrictions that society has placed on women has made it impossible for her to pursue any other lifestyle. She demonstrates this by saying, "It's far better than any other employment open to [women]... It can't be right, Vivie, that there shouldn't be better opportunities for women." Shaw is at ...

... arm was disabled. Robinson could not have beat Ms. Ewell. Tom Robinson was still convicted and later on was shot at a prison fence while he was trying to run away. The juror’s discriminated Mr. Robinson and was prejudice towards him because all though evidence was presented to them that would prove Tom innocent they ignored it because the guy was black and in the 30’s discriminating blacks were heavily favored. The Twelve Angry Men was about a boy who was accused of stabbing his father to death in a argument. In the beginning of the trial all twelve of the juror’s voted guilty. Many of the juror’s were mean and did not care about the ...

... that the other kids (besides Piggy) don’t want to be friends with him. -Power struggle between Jack and Ralph. Ralph wants to return to tend to the fire while jack wants to play in the fort. -Ralph is losing the authority he once held over the other boys and Jack is emerging as their new leader. -Power once instilled in the conch is not as effective anymore. -Ralph (which means “counsel” in the Anglo-Saxon language) and Jack (comes from Hebrew and means “one who supplants” or takes over by force) can be looked at as two different sections of society. Ralph wants to remain civil and maintain order on the island, while on the other hand there is Jack. Jack wants ...

... that is the easiest to see is dinner etiquette. I was upset when I first came to Canada about how the people kept taking my food because they were too lazy to go and get some more. After three years, I am taking food from the people in the dining hall, which means I have changed my way of thinking in this respect. The reason that I was upset is that Asian people have a stereotype about food. It is just like this. If I have taken this, this is mine, and nobody can touch this. This may sound barbaric or like animals fighting for their food. This kind of thought was probably brought about because through out history we had war many times this means that only the ...

... with her husbands four wishes, begins to wish for pricks all over her husbands body. After first describing her husband’s current state as “soft and like a furry animal” (lecture notes) she goes on to say that she wishes for big pricks, short pricks, curved pricks, strait pricks, and other kinds all over his body including his ears, knees, forehead, and abdomen. She does not merely wish for one, hard prick but instead lists all the types she can think of. Because the husband only wishes that the “same comes to her” (lecture notes) it is obvious that the wife is the one with the creative imagination. In “The Chevalier Who ...

... out in the open, and the idea that all people have their own "flaws", is thought to be more fisable. Walker combines all of these issues in her story in a deceptive way. They all are linked together by way of a semi-believable story line with one major overlaying theme. Prescott sums it up nicely, "Love redeems, meanness kills"(p74). This is illustrated in many ways in Walker's novel. One perfect example of this is Mr. _____. Mr. _____, as he is called throughout the novel, was a wife beater, who, having been denied Celie's sister, marries Celie to look after his children. He beats her and rapes her and is just plain nasty to her. Finally, one day, after C ...

... the tiger is symbolic of evil. Some people may go even further to conclude that the tiger is a symbol of Satan. Perhaps mainly the people who derive their interpretation of hell from Dante’s Inferno, or other works of literature that portray the devil as a predator, cloaked in flames residing in the darkness of hell. The same type of imagery and symbolism is used in the first two lines of the second stanza, where it says: “In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes?” The images of “distant deeps or skies” again presents images of a realm of darkness, and one is reminded again of the traditional interpretation of hell. It is implied that the “ ...

... think. Socrates further goes on to say the majority acts haphazardly; therefore, they cannot do great good or great harm (Plato 45). Crito says that "the opinion of the many" would judge us wrong if we didn't help you (and anyone in your position would agree that you ought to escape). Socrates notes that some opinion is right and some opinion is wrong. It is not simply a matter of mere opinion, but of correct opinion. The authority in this case is the actual truth of the matter. Socrates introduces a distinction between true opinion and false opinion. And the path to the latter is through argument and reason. By appealing to the opinion of "the many," Crito seem ...

... which once belonged to him. With education he felt that he still had an opportunity to have his land returned to him. Nyobaki saw education as a way to be in the same class as Jacobo. "She wanted to be the same. Or be like Juliana." Njorge has a large determination towards school, both to fulfill the anticipation of his parents as well as for himself. This is further displayed when he allows himself to compete against Jacobo's daughter, and feels happy when he succeeds ahead of her. As the reader can see, the high expectation of education is all lost when Njorge is force to withdraw from school. Ngugi observes the family as the central part of society, wh ...

... be flattered, and they ironically turn out to be evil. He displays inadequacies as a father through lack of knowledge concerning the true characters of all his daughters, and as King through the sudden dividing of his land. Lear loses his sanity when he cannot cope with the insensitive treatment from his two elder daughters. His madness is a learning experience, as he realises his earlier mistakes in the play, including his mistreatment of Cordelia. When he does regain sanity, he is a much wiser and enhanced man, father and king. Kent, one of Lear’s followers, is the first person to directly tell the King that he has made mistakes concerning the partition of his ...
