.... resounded through his head long after the bombs could no longer be heard. "Why me?"- a frequent question asked by survivors of war. Vonnegut was tormented by this question and through Billy Pilgrim, the protagonist in Slaughterhouse Five, he attempts to reconcile the guilt which one feels when one is randomly saved from death, while one's friends and loved ones perish. Billy Pilgrim's own life was spared, but was never able to live with himself knowing that so many others had died. The feelings of guilt which emerged from his having survived the bombing of Dresden and from Bil .....

.... Delaware beliefs on how the world was created and how life began. Each Manito, which is a god of evil or good creations, is what the Delaware felt created life and its methods. The actual writing of the myth is in short descriptive phrases, leaving out any unnecessary words or clauses. It speaks as if Earth and Nature are people, a part of their kin. The Delaware use detailed characteristics to describe the universe that surrounds them. They speak of only subjects that are important to them and deeply express their thoughts. The Delaware Native Americans were ones who saw Ea .....

.... my own nevermind when like a bolt of lightning from the heavens I saw Mistress Hester Prynne with her daughter. Mistress Prynne sticks out like a sore thumb. She is an odd one. She walked with the child holding her hand, slowly, as heads to turned. She stood so clear of everyone else that I saw the brand clearly. It was a work of art. Never have I seen such good stitching. Standing in the light, her hair taken back, looking without expression. A picturesque woman, voluptuous breasts and smooth curves seem to be noticeable even though the scarlet letter seemed to steal muc .....

.... her emotions for her family's benefit. Her family didn't feel anything she didn't feel. If she felt fear, the family did too. "Since old Tom and the children could not know hurt or fear unless she acknowledged hurt and fear, she had practiced denying them in herself." She always kept calm in front of the family because she knew if she showed fear, she would lose control of the family. She also knows her family inside and out. She knows the inner need of each member of the family. She knows if Pa is defeated, the family will collapse so she makes sure he doesn't. She k .....

.... This step really helped out when it came time to putting my book together. The next decision was what should my story be about. I knew that whatever I write about had to be something I liked or I would have no interest in writing the story. The first thing I thought about was I going to use people or animals in my story. Using people seemed easier and more realistic for me to use. Immediately I started to think freely about different types of plots I may use. I asked friends and family for different ideas on what I should write and what I should not write. I made a li .....

.... his men to also follow his mistake. Going to Circe’s "Magic House" was a bad decision for Odysseus to make. Odysseus did not consider the results of his decisions. Odysseus endangered his men. Odysseus said, "Yet I refused. I wished to see the caveman… no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends" (Homer 900). Refusing to ignore the Cyclops, showed how Odysseus didn’t care about possible dangers that would affect his men. As a leader, Odysseus should have considered what may be good for his men. Odysseus said to his men, "I’ll make the crossing… with my own company…for th .....

.... and loyal to him. It almost seems that the Prince made an idol of his father. In Prince Hamlet's first soliloquy he described his father as an excellent king, a god-like figure and a loving husband. It is strange that the Prince did not convey information about being a loving father. It is left for us to infer that there must have been a special bond between father and son for the Prince to be so willing to carry out retribution against his father's murderer. Prince Hamlet changed after the death of his father. He is grief stricken certainly, but also he prete .....

.... the hawk,to compare to death. A hawk is a swift predator that attacks unnoticed, but to Medea death is a trophy. For Medea death has a value of importance. A friendship has been established. Death is Medea’s friend. She uses it as a weapon to get what she views as justice. "Then if you have a dog eyed enemy and needed absolute vengeance . . . Unchild him, ha? And then unlife him"(23). Medea believed with great depth to get vengeance upon Jason. She wanted to go through with her vengeance and hurt Jason as Jason hurt her. Jason left Medea for another woman th .....
