.... the law by performing them. The antiquated plot line is not the story's main flaw. The biggest drawback here is a one-two punch of highly technical prose employed to relate a thoroughly dull story. Karen Randall, the daughter of an eminent physician, dies as the result of a botched abortion. Art Lee, a Chinese obstetrician, is accused of performing the D & C that has resulted in her death. Though Lee is known to be an abortionist, he vehemently denies any involvement in the case. Lee calls upon his friend, forensic pathologist John Berry, to clear his name. John Berry careen .....

.... in so many ways because of the similitude in values and convictions we both hold. It is for all those reasons mentioned above that I enjoy the book so much and label it as one of my favorites. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to hold grasp of this book and read it, it is superficially, the story of a young man’s expulsion from school. However, if you study the story, it is so much more than that. Holden Caulfield, a teenager growing up in the 1950s in New York, has been expelled from prep school for poor achievement. In an attempt to deal with t .....

.... Unlike Bradbury, Huxley includes in his book a group of people unaffected by the changes in society, a group that still has religious beliefs and marriage, things no longer part of the changed society, to compare and contrast today's culture with his proposed futuristic culture. But one theme that both Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451 use in common is the theme of individual discovery by refusing to accept a passive approach to life, and refusing to conform. In addition, the refusal of various methods of escape from reality is shown to be a path to discovery. In .....

.... his challenge against his chi, by beating his wife during the week of peace. Okonkwo can be an example for a person challenging his own chi since his desperate desire to succeed his chi, does not let him go any further than failure, destruction and death. Chi is simultaneously a destiny and an internal commitment that cannot be denied. The Igbo religion has a tendency to symbolize numerous amounts of divine gods. They have a god for every different natural phenomonum that occurred. These things of worship were things such as trees, pieces of wood, hills, caves etc. For eve .....

.... and return, the lure of romance and the dead end of sexual inequality and oppression. The House on Mango Street is also a book about a culture—that of Chicanos, or Mexican-Americans—that has long been veiled by demeaning stereotypes and afflicted by internal ambivalence. In some ways it resembles the immigrant cultures that your students may have encountered in books like My Ántonia, The Jungle, and Call It Sleep. But unlike Americans of Slavic or Jewish ancestry, Chicanos have been systematically excluded from the American mainstream in ways that suggest the disenfranchisemen .....

.... with traditional African-American culture. According to Frazier, the black middle class has abandoned the folk culture of “the black masses” in favor of shell of the middle class white world that rejected them. Therefore, the black bourgeoisie lives in what Frazier calls a cultural vacuum, disdainful of the culture of most African-Americans, dismissed by the white middle class culture. Finally, Frazier discusses the result of this displacement on the black middle class. Because the black bourgeoisie buys into the ideals of white America more and is simultaneously more exposed .....

.... for her adulteress affair. She has to spend time in jail as well as wearing the letter “A” and also raises her daughter without a father. This makes the punishments both private and public. Hester wishes she were dead but then changes her mind because she says to Chillingworth, “I have thought of death, have wished for it, would even had prayed for it, Yet if death be in this cup, I bid thee think again, ere thou beholdest me quaff it. See! It is even now at my lips.” Hester is responsible for her adulteress affair with Dimmesdale. She deals with her guilt by sta .....

.... Knowing that Conrad was a novelist who lived in his work, writing about the experiences were as if he were writing about himself. "Every novel contains an element of autobiography-and this can hardly be denied, since the creator can only explain himself in his creations."(Kimbrough,158) The story is written as seen through Marlow's eyes. Marlow is a follower of the sea. His voyage up the Congo is his first experience in freshwater navigation. He is used as a tool, so to speak, in order for Conrad to enter the story and tell it out of his own philosophical mind. He long .....
