.... an opinion that maybe Phineas would be pleasant. His first impression of him was as a bully, therefore, we think that Gene is afraid of him, which would make him insecure. Another example of Gene's insecurity occurs just after Gene and Phineas meet. "That first day, standing in our comfortless room amid his clothes, he began to talk and I began to listen."(100) This quotation shows that Gene was too afraid to say what he wanted. He did not have enough courage even to interject when Phineas was talking. This shows that Gene was insecure about his ideas and point of view. .....

.... a little old, but never the less I gave this book a chance and it turned out to be a good gamble. That was becuase this book was different in the sense that it got way more in-depth with the beliefs and different legends of the native Americans than all other books that I have read. That provided a new outlook and different feel which helped keep my attention. What I also found interesting was the similarity of the religious beliefs that these particular native Americans had to Seventh day Adventism.

.... by which men are judged to be the Shepherd or the wolf. It is greed and folly, which are the marks of impious men, men who engage in improper feasting. Worse still are those who give into temptation after long suffering, for it denies them the knowledge of the good; namely virtue. Of improper feasting there are numerous examples, from the gluttonous behavior of the suitors and the cannibalism of the Kyklops, to Odysseus' own shipmates who kill and feast on the cattle of Lord Helios, the Sun. As illustrated by the text, improper feasting is a sin against the order of Ze .....

.... life’” (143). The ads and images are depicted as “ real life” but really they are just fabricated images formed to trick the consumer or observer.

She has a slim figure and in the ad it states, “I’m a girl who just can’t say no. I insist on dessert.” This says to the consumer that you can eat all the Jello you want and still remain beautiful, slender, and able to resist the overpowering urge to overindulge in dessert .....

.... in the woods to celebrate. Shakespeare uses the greenworld pattern in this play. The play begins in the city, moves out to the country and then back to the city. Being in the country makes things better because there is tranquility, freedom and people can become uncivilized versus when they are in the city and have to follow customs and laws and behave rationally. Comedies contain blocking figures and in this play it is Egeus. If he was not in the way, Hermia could marry Lysander.

.... and some unconventional capitalization, e. e. cummings creates a dream vision of a remembered springtime- revelry that reads with both excitement and a measured awareness. White space is used after the first line, “in Just-”, by cummings to emphasize the speaker’s observation that only in spring do the following things happen. The white space after “spring” in the second line suggests that the speaker ponders first what his audience later learns to be a springtime memory . The white space is quite obviously used for the benefit of someone listening to the poem bein .....
