.... of quality to an ugly holdover from another era. Similarly, Miss Emily became an eyesore; for example, she was first described as a “fallen monument”(177) to suggest her former grandeur and her later ugliness. She was a “monument,” an ideal of past values but fallen because she had shown herself susceptible to death and decay. According Fetterley, “the violence implicit in the desire to see the monument fall”(194). Like the house, she has lost her beauty. A women who once was beautiful, later became obese and bloated. Both the house and occupant have suffered the rav .....

.... world as well as the moral universe. The man replies: ...I believe nothing of the sort. I find that everything goes wrong in our world; that nobody knows his place in society or his duty, what he's doing or what he ought to be doing, and that outside of mealtimes...the rest of the day is spent in useless quarrels...-it's one unending warfare. By having this character take on such a pessimistic tone, he directly contradicts the obviously over-optimistic tone of Candide. In the conclusion (page 1617) an old turk instructs Candide in the futil .....

.... 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 longs to see Kurtz, in the hope's of apprecia .....

.... playing with heart. I stand by the saying "It is not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog." How we practice during the week is how we'll play in the game; therefore, I will not accept sloppy practice sessions. My philosophy as a teacher/coach and in life begins and ends with respect. If I cannot respect myself then it is impossible to have true respect for anyone else, and if I cannot respect others, how can I expect my students to respect each other. Respect starts with self-esteem and coaches teach self-esteem. If I am not careful I co .....

.... not feel any “rush of gratitude toward Phineas,” because he does not like feeling clumsier than Finny. Instead, he blames his presence in the tree on Phineas. Finny also has the role of being the leader in their friendship. They sustain the balance of the friendship when Phineas thinks of something to do, and Gene supports him. The problem with this is that Gene only trails Finny so that he would not “lose face with [him].” Gene never speaks up when he has a problem, hereby damaging their lines of communication. Another principal factor that dissolves the bond between them i .....

.... such as the family, getting weaker juvenile street prostitution statistics are only going to go up. The main reason that young teenage girls end up on the street and not in college trying to get a job is usually problems at home. The teenager experiences one, possible all three types of violence or abuse: physical, sexual, or mental. This abuse can start at any age anywhere from birth up through adulthood. Children who are abused at a young age according to the textbook are likely to view the world as hostile, have suspicion or even fear of the outside world. A girl a .....

.... It epitomized all that he stood for. Places with the clutter of men invariably led to pain and suffering or death. Hemingway was really big on simplicity in his works. Everything was simple, from his style, to his characters (ie: Catherine - simpleton if I ever saw one). I think that he likened civilization to a giant machine. The larger and more complex it got, the more things it did. However, when something gets larger and more complex, then that increases the chances and the areas that something can break down. In A Farewell to Arms Hemingway said that the world wi .....

.... and his father concerning whether Joe is responsible for the pilots crashing and indirectly, the death of Larry. Chris believes that if Joe is responsible he therefore belongs in jail. When Joe hears Larry's suicide letter, he reacts by saying: "Sure, he was my son. But I think to him they were all my sons. And I guess they were" (pg. 79). This shows us that it was Larry's letter that caused Joe's suicide, and lead to Chris' certainty that Joe was guilty. Finally, Larry does affect Kate's character. Kate is obsessed with her unfounded belief that Larry is alive. She is the on .....
