.... I set about "listening" to the playwrights. In Agamemnon, Aeschylus addresses some remarks toward his Clytaemnestra which could possibly be interpreted as disparaging. She is said to "maneuver like a man," and Cassandra exclaims, "What outrage--the woman kills the man!" The chorus asks her "What drove her insane" enough to kill a man. Her lover, Aegisthus, although he gloats over the body he cringed from cutting down, allows that "the treachery was the woman's work, clearly." Far from denigrating women, however, I believe these parrotings of the prevailing attitudes, when ju .....

.... This organization could loan up to 2 billion dollars to banks, insurance companies, and railroads. Hoover’s last ditch attempt to help the economy was too little, too late. Our economy was in shambles and now we need someone to pick up those pieces. As your newly elected president, my administration will work to relieve the suffering caused by the depression, creating jobs and stabilizing the economy. One of my first concerns is to restore the American people’s faith in banks. I am ready to shut down all banks and only re-open those that are stable. I have sent a banking r .....

.... exist to amuse as well as educate. However, if the article's appeal is low, it will be disliked regardless of the quality of its academic matter. Therefore the author must strive to excite as well as educate the reader. To achieve this, the author must use various styles, as well as assorted other literary practices such as formality to spice up the text. For each purpose of a text, there is a balance of literary styles which is most effective. For example, kids' books must express ideas as simply as possible. To achieve the maximum effect, simple vocabulary, short par .....

.... was taken to Florida and treated as a prisoner of war. Government sponsored assimilation saw English forced upon the Apache robbing them of their culture. In 1934 The Indian Recognition Act helped establish the Indian culture as a recognized way of life. This act gave the Apache land, which the Apache in turn used for ranching. The destruction of the Apache culture was not recoverable and saw the Apache lose much of their language. The documentary on the Apache was very well done. The Indians of North America series, produced by Chelsea House, seems to be a very we .....

.... hundreds, of gentlemen. Rich Elizabethans dined twice a day--breakfast at eleven or twelve and supper between five and six. Of course, the meals of the common man were not so extravagant. The common man ate three meals a day: breakfast in the early am, dinner at twelve and supper at six. The poorer sort supped when they could. A poem by Thomas Tusser gives a good idea of the break fast of the typical farmer: Call Servants to breakfast, by daystar appear, a snatch to wake fellows, but tarry not here. Let Housewife be carver, let pottage be eat, a dishful each one wi .....

.... be involved with another’s affairs. Yet with this point of view most would agree that there would be too much diversity in opinion when deciding exactly when help is needed. Also, countries such as Japan would never have developed, whose primary success was to take the ideas of other nations and better them. Stronger countries must interfere in the affairs of weaker nations for the gain of both nations. A more powerful nation can better its own economy by sharing the resources of other nations and weaker nations are able to obtain an improved standard of livin .....

.... would not repeat them. There was also the Neutrality Acts. The first neutrality act made it unlawful for the U.S. to ship or sell arms to countries where a state of war existed. Roosevelt and the U.S. congress had different views about isolationism. Roosevelt was not an isolationist, and was concerned about what was happening. Congress, on the other hand, was not as concerned. For example, Roosevelt could have eased European tensions somewhat by wiping out allied war debts. Congress, however, would not go along with such a thing. As time went by, the crisis in Europe co .....

.... English were already having disagreements over Regulation 17, which was introduced by the Ontario Department of Education in 1913. The French felt they were having their rights taken away and that the English were being strongly favoured. Many French Canadians were beginning to have serious doubts about the need to go and fight against the "Prussians" Tempers flared at both ends of the school debate. An angry Henri Bourassa declared that the real war was not in Euope but in Ontario. The bitterness towards the English weakened support for the war in Quebec. Men were des .....
