... of the second language will affect the first, which is why many emigre Russians will speak Russian with American accents or with English intonation. In this project, I wanted to test emigre Russians in America on their spelling and test the interference of English phonetic rules on Russian spelling. Preliminary Work This phenomenon captured my attention three years ago, while I was living with a Russian emigre student. I would ask her to correct my Russian homework each night, but she often corrected my homework rather poorly, as her spelling was less than stellar. She claimed that since leaving the Soviet Union 6 years earlier, she had only spoken Russi ...

... to the young narrator the young narrator forgets how unpleasant he was at the abandoned house. Armytage tells his story so well that the young narrator leaves with a new knowledge. The second example of a storyteller telling an effective story is in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." The Ancient Mariner mesmerizes on e of three wedding guests. The mariner tells his story about a young mariner that shot an Albatross and got into trouble for shooting it. The moral of the mariner's story is to love all things that God has created. The wedding guest leaves the mariner's story a sad but wiser man. In both of these examples we get a look at the effectiveness of bo ...

... thinking concerning the problematic relations between men and women. But any solution to the problem that merely attempts to transfer domination from men to women only fosters the warfare between them. This is the reason "we do not favor a movement for women's rights that in reality retains the principles of the patriarchal world, except that women now will have the power that was formerly the exclusive domain of men." This means that women are not "being emancipated as human beings" and the war would then continue and produce a great deal of hatred on both sides. Each group hates the other and fears the attacks of each other. "Even though men pretend otherw ...

... Creon. He holds fast in his arrogance despite Atigone’s protest: Antigone: It was not Zeus who published this decree, / Nor have the Powers who rule among the dead / Imposed such laws as this upon mankind; Nor could I think that a decree of yours - / A man - could override the laws of Heaven.

He is set in his belief that his authority overrides the importance of spiritual tradition and divine order. The secon ...

They will not have the same opportunities that many of have such as a good education, strong ethics and family upbringing. That a person is not able to decide his future, but it has already been chosen for him. The idea of free will can argue that “ in most cases”, in the above statement, is a key. There are people who have developed very successfully out of these urban areas to (1) accomplish great things and proving that a pe ...

... to the more complex sub-textual elements of the interaction between characters. One example of a situation in which the distinction between the classes is made particularly clear can be seen in the cricket match and another in the relationship between Marian and Ted. The most striking feature of the cricket match is the difference between the clothing of the participants. The villagers wear either their working clothes or some just take off their coats and play in their normal clothes. Meanwhile the members of the Hall team are respectably attired, in their cricket whites and with appropriate equipment. Leo likens this difference to the Boer War, “The vil ...
