... the gametes of another woman and man and implanted in her body. Partial Surrogacy occurs when the birth mother contributes the ovum and the sperm is introduced by artificial insemination. She is a biological parent of the child. Commercial Surrogacy means a business-like transaction where a fee is charged for the incubation period. Lastly, there is a Non-Commercial Surrogacy in which there is no formal contract or any payment to the birth mother. It is usually an arrangement between close friends or family members.(1-10) There is no federal policy on the issue of surrogacy, all fifty states have been left to decide theses issues themselves and create their ...

... The river has only to desire something to happen and it will. The different currents and movements are the various personalities of the river. No one can predict the next mood that it might take on. For this reason, Huck chooses to admire the powerful and dangerous body and respect it for its personality(338-46). The only mode of transportation that Huck and Jim have to flow down the mighty Mississippi is a raft . The river controls the voyage of Huck and Jim. It will not let them land at Cairo, where Jim could have been free. It then separates them and leaves Huck at the Grangerford house for a while. Finally, it reunites the two friends and presses up ...

... with a feeling of pending terror. As one can readily recognize by the strange descriptions at the beginning of the story, the tale is one of horror. Not only is the action itself horrible, but also the descriptions of the cave, the low arches that hover over Fortunato and Montresor, the walls lined with human remains, and the insufferably damp atmosphere cause a feeling of terror to escalate for the reader. The descent down into the vaults is reminiscent of Dante's "Inferno," going down into the depths of hell. Through Poe's descriptions, the reader can feel the dripping dampness, smell the "foulness" of the air" (Poe, 114), see the eerie glow of the flambe ...

... “loss of innocence”, is during the children’s interruption at the jail house where Tom Robinson was being held. On impulse, the children arrived at the jail to encounter several men confronting Atticus. At this time, Scout was quite unaware of what was happening, being totally oblivious to the threat the men posed to the safety of herself, Atticus, Jem and Dill. She was merely expecting an argument between the men and was eager to witness it. Her naivete becomes even more evident in her “talk” with Mr Cunningham. She began conversation to be polite, possibly to impress the adults present. As she was not encumbered by the knowle ...

... that make a picture, now?” she asked and they all turned and looked at the little Negro out of the back window. He waved. “He didn’t have any britches on,” June Star said. “He probably didn’t have any,” the grandmother explained. “Little niggers in the country don’t have things like we do.” The language that is shown in this section of the story clearly demonstrates the difference between what is acceptable, and what is racist. O’Connor clearly provides us that she never has the intent to be racist herself, but rather her characters, possibly an influence in her life, are to blame. The grandm ...

... and creed. All of these are very obvious to most. These little, sometimes big, differences separate us all into our own unique character. Each one of us wants to do our own thing, especially when we reach the early stages of adulthood. This means staying out later. When one has his or her, license, the rest of the world opens up. At this stage one must be thinking what does this have to do with equality. It's simple. Age separates the adults from the youth. When one gets his or her license, they will want more freedom. That means staying out longer. Now curfew is 11:00 p.m., but most want to stay out past that. There's always a party to go to, and the youth wa ...

... and Prospero differ greatly: Sycorax, in many respects a traditional witch, worked within Nature and as a part of it. She worked with devils and the lowest orders of spirits. Prospero, on the other hand, exercises his magic by means of strict discipline and study, rising above the natural order by means of his greater knowledge, and actually coercing spirits of a fairly high rank, such as Ariel, to do his bidding and control other spirits for him. In the Arts which both represent, Prospero certainly reflects the world of the mind. [And Sycorax does not?] However, in the use of his Art, Prospero reveals himself as not wholly disciplined. [okay] Prospero enjoys ...

... ships. C1. Melville's perspective on life is that God created the universe with an infinite number of meanings and man is always trying to determine one specific meaning. D2. The "lessons" that Melville is likely to weave into his writing are 1. An exposition on whales and the whaling industry. 2. A commentary on the universe and human destiny. 3. Thoughts about God and Nature. III. Characters B. The protagonist in this book is Ishmael, a Christian, schoolteacher and part-time sailor. Ishmael's role in the hunt for "Moby Dick" is to interpret what is happening. He discusses his reasons for going to sea and ...

... John the main character in The Crucible. In the character introduction we are told “He (John Proctor)was powerful of body, even tempered, and not easily led. The steady manner he displays does not spring from an untroubled soul. He is a sinner, a sinner not only against the moral fashion of the time, but against his own vision of decent conduct. Proctor, has come to regard himself as a fraud.” (2036) It is known in the play that John Proctor had an affair with Abigail, the accuser. Elizabeth knew all along that this was the case, and was very resentful towards John. But, she forgave him and took the blame on herself, that she was the cause because sh ...

... defending his honour and is mortally wounded - "the wheel has come full circle". Gloucester, realising the wrong he has done to Edgar, yet joyful he is alive, dies. Edgar joins Albany in ruling the country. So skillfully has Shakespeare intertwined the two plots, beginning in Act II at Gloucester's castle and ending in the alliance of Edgar and Albany, that is is difficult to separate them. Gloucester, like Lear, suffers from filial ingratitude. It is in his castle that Lear is humiliated by his daughters and flees into the storm. Gloucester's sympathy helps Lear to Dover to meet Cordelia, yet leads to his own blindness and his going to Dover for suicide. ...
