Adam and Eve suggest singularity because Eve was created from Adam, and Laura and Lizzie suggest singularity because of their uncanny resemblance.

.... to understand.
Jumping off a tree into the river once is an adventure, continually attempting this act is crazy. Finney was in control of this situation. Gene hated this ritual. He continued to do it because Finney said so. It seems that Gene disliked the fact that Finney had this control over him. Could this possibly be the reason that Gene shook the branch that day?

At the feast of Santiago, we see the white man brutally beating Abel.

Heart Of Darkness: Different Centers Of Darkness
.... Dorall continues deeper into abyss of interrupting these two novels by pointing out subtle variances. He first mentions the fact that the characters on the riverboat in the novel lack the depth and development of a true character. On the other hand, the film takes time and effort to develop each individual character on the patrol boat, thus creating some sort of personality that the audience can relate to and take comfort in. Dorall continues down into the darkened minds of both Kurtzs by citing the lures of man’s primal, animalistic nature, as the reason for colonial Kurtz’s shedding of civilization. However, it is .....

However, if you know of someone who is new to Internet research and would benefit from a general overview of the Internet and Net tools (including how to configure Netscape Communicator (whereas the original concentrated on Netscape E .....
