... say something? 6. Would you look to yourself as patient or short-tempered? 7. To what degree of misbehavior would you rationalize a spanking? 8. Do you believe physical punishment should be permitted in other environments, such as school, or preserved primarily for parents? 9. Do you feel children today are more or less inapt to responsibility compared to your own generation? 10. Do you feel your opinion on spanking is based on how you were disciplined as a child? I chose to interview my mom and her father, mainly because I thought they’d show the most character and audacity when answering my questions. I will be the third generation view regarding ...

... a twenty-five mile zone. We continued our journey in silence for about five minuets until a sudden event turned our lives around. As we pulled up to a stop sign, he looked both ways before turning left on to the main street. Without a worry in his head he pressed on the gas pedal and began a left turn. Unfortunately the darkness of the evening prevented him from seeing a huge limousine which was slowly approaching our car. In a matter of seconds, the limousine was in our car. We were pushed to the middle of the road and the car made a half turn. The windows blew up and pieces of glass landed on our faces. The driver’s door was smashed and he flew on top of me ...

... soma is also an illustration of the similarities of drug abuse between our two worlds. Linda's return to Brave New World after many years brings her to the abuse of soma. She uses it as an escape from reality. Some of us use drugs to escape from the harshness and the tough brutality of reality. We always dream of the perfect utopia and expect our world to transform into it. Some of us always look for the easy way out and drugs allow us that. A further similarity of Brave New World to us, is when John is in the hospital after his mother's death due to soma abuse, and witnesses the workers receiving their soma rations. John begins to throw the soma out if the window ...

... Paradise as a garden. In other words, the article attempts to illustrate Paradise as the Garden of Eden. If it is true, for instance, that even in the wildest areas, where nature has taken charge of everything, there is a peculiar composition of forms,—kósmos—that is reminiscent of a garden, then that is establishing Marías’ systematic view on how California is not a mere paradise but also having a bearing to the Garden of Eden. Furthermore, since there are wild, untrammeled, and rugged forest lands in the North Atlantic states; deserts in Arizona and New Mexico. California is another matter, truly an oasis, then once again we ca ...

... unified concept. McKibben speaks of Wuthering Heights as a whole, while Hagan concentrates on only sympathies role in the novel. McKibben and Hagan both touch on the topic of Catherine and Heathcliff’s passionate nature. To this, McKibben recalls the scene in the book when Catherine is "in the throes of her self-induced illness" (p38). When asking for her husband, she is told by Nelly Dean that Edgar is "among his books," and she cries, "What in the name of all that feels has he to do with books when I am dying." McKibben shows that while Catherine is making a scene and crying, Edgar is in the library handling Catherine’s death in the only way he knows how, in a mi ...

... of the id, ego, and superego, and the psychosexual stages that these three structures focus on during a course of one's development, give a plethora of reasons to believe in the existence of a critical period in gender development. Freud's theory suggests that the way in which the id, ego, and superego evolve and the way in which they proliferate in the first six years of a child's life will influence the child's emotional attachment to her/his parent of the same sex and, as consequence, the child's gender identification. I would agree with Freud's statement that children undergo a certain emotional crisis after becoming aware of their genitals. It must be somewh ...

... sense of the crime itself. The reader doesn't hear about how heavily the murders are weighing on his heart, or how he is tormented by visions of the crime. He doesn't feel the least bit guilty about having committed the crime, only his pride's hurt. He doesn't mention the idea of the pain that might arise from recurrent visions of the crime. Raskolnikov never again recalls the massive amounts of blood everywhere, the look on Lizaveta's face when he brings down the axe on her head. These things clearly show that the crime isn't what might cause him suffering, or pain, it is something else. After Raskolnikov is sent off to Sibe ...

... ‘Cultures that knew nothing of war suddenly began suffering unprovoked attacks by terrifying strangers.’(13) This shows you the kind of bloodthirsty savages the nomads were, their way of life was changing and they weren’t ready for it to change. ‘So it is that these voracious ant armies number in the millions, just as major outbreaks of nomadic aggression were characteristically preceded by inertial congregations. If there is strength in numbers among the sedentary, there is only hunger among the nomadic.’(21) Again this shows how the nomadic are going hungry and have no way to turn except to fight for food. The agriculturalist have superior strength in nu ...

... same kind of love for Odysseus. At home in Ithaca, she stays loyal to Odysseus by unraveling his shroud and delaying her marriage to the suitors that are courting her. She always keeps the hope that her love, Odysseus, will return. Odysseus and Penelope's marriage clearly illustrates the theme of love. There are also many other bonds formed in life that show great love and guidance. One of the most emphasized in the Odyssey is the father - son relationship. These relationships clearly support the issue of love in the Odyssey. The father - son relationship between Odysseus and Telemachos is a little awkward because they both never really got to know each other b ...
