In The Time Of The Butterflies
... I see that they were trying to prove a point, but it also seems that they were working against themselves at the same time. They could not further the revolution while they were sitting in jail. I also wondered why Trujillo all of the sudden started killing people left and right. I concluded that he was desperate because he knew he was not going to have that much power for very long. He knew he was in trouble because the OAS Peace Committee came so he figured he might as well kill people while he still can. I don’t understand why Mate did not tell the OAS Peace Committee what happened at La 40. She said she did not want to endanger Santiclo. That is understandable, ...

Comparison: "The Jade Peony", "Horses Of The Night", Masque Of The Red Death"
... The first story I will be discussing is called "The Jade Peony" by
Wayson Choy. I did not enjoy what this story was about nor did I enjoy reading
it. Luckly it was short, If It wasnt I doubt i would have made it throught the
whole thing. The main problem with this story was the inconsistance of the
sentences, some sentences were too long while others were very short. The only
way to truly fix this story would be to re-write it.
The second story I chose to write about is called "Horses of the Night"
by Margaret Laurence. I did enjoy reading this short story dipite the fact it
seem to jump around alot; it would talk about somthing fairly in-depth the ...

The Brady Bunch
... that deserves to be remembered.
tends to say that our society is corrupt in a way. It displays many problems that people deal with on a daily basis and expresses how they feel they should be fixed. The show tries to get across to the audience that even though there are some people out there that are not right in the head, you yourself still have to be. Mike Brady, the father always gives out these lessons. For example when Marcia’s new boyfriend steals Greg’s phony playbook for the football game, Mike tells Greg that in actuality, Greg would win the game by cheating himself, unless he confessed to Marcia’s boyfriend and told him the truth. A ...

Mending Wall
... Frost rarely talks to his neighbor, and the only time they ever have a chance to communicate is when they are repairing the fences. This lack of communication and understanding gradually builds up an invisible barrier between them. This invisible barrier that stands between keeps them separate. Even when they are working together fixing the wall, they are staying one on a side of the wall. It seems that Frost enjoys working with his neighbor separately when he says “Oh, just another kind of outdoor game, one on a side”. However Frost also gives us a feeling that there is other meaning to it. A game very often symbolizes a competition, or a fight. We can see ...

King Lear
... in the
play are :-
"...Give me the map there. Know that we have
divided
In three our kingdom, and 'tis our fast intent
To shake all cares and business from our age,
Conferring them on younger strengths while we
Unburdened crawl to death..."
(Act I, Sc i, Ln 38-41)
This gives the reader the first indication of Lear's intent
to abdicate his throne. He goes on further to offer pieces
of his kingdom to his daughters as a form of reward to his
test of love.
"Great rivals in our youngest daughter's love,
Long in our court have made their amorous
sojourn,
And here are to be answered. Tell me, my
daughters
(Since now we will divest us both of rule,

... too busy with marriage and divorce and is now back to dating again. They shared a room and Kawn would ask her too many questions. Soon students from Olivia's school would tease her for having a Chinese sister that knew nothing and she hated Kwan for it. However, Kwan didn't mind and still was nice to her sister, she would tell her stories about her past life in China and about her Yin eyes, which give her the ability to see the dead (it also got her committed in a mental institution for shock therapy).
Tan makes it credible by the broken English Kwan spoke to her sister (couldn't get even her name right, she calls her Libby-ah), even after 30 years, which is where t ...

Once A Warrior King - Review
... in Vietnam. Top officials and politicians in the U.S. government didn't understand what was taking place on the front lines and therefor they were less than effective in strategic decision making processes. The American people also understood very little about the war. Understanding this puts anti-war protests in perspective; the American people could not envision the death and mutilation of children.
American intentions in Vietnam were muddled, thus forces were misguided and outcomes were unfavorable. Originally the American presence in South Vietnam was mainly to push for the social betterment of the Vietnamese people. Soon however, an offensive sta ...
