Gregory (Panos Ionnides)
.... headquarters had handed down to him. He described them as "delicate assignments". The first time, he said he threw up. The second, he was ill for days, the third, drank a bottle of alcohol, the fourth, a few glasses of beer, the 5th he joked about it, and finally the sixth, remorse, for it was Gregory fe killed. As you can see, he was slowly desensitized to his job. That is, he comfortably adapted to it and as he eliminated each of the five soldiers before Gregory, the intensity of his honor towards headquarters had increased. We can assume this based on the fact that he carried out headquarter's task of executing despite how .....

The Narrative Of The Life Of Frederick Douglas
.... many still felt the slaves deserved their position in life. Douglass, for his own safety, was urged to travel to England where he stayed and spoke until 1847 when he returned to the U.S. to buy his freedom. At that point, he began to write and distribute an anti-slavery newspaper called "The North Star". Not only did he present news to the slaves, but it was also highly regarded as a good source of information for those opposed to slavery.

Review Of Machiavelli's The Prince
.... and Yeltsin), and we invaded many islands in the Pacific as strategic military positions. The Aleutian Islands are a major acquisition for the United States. For if we didn't occupy those, Russia would have them and they could invade from the north.
However I disagree with Machiavelli on the subject of warfare. In chapter XIV, Machiavelli says, "a prince's main objective and profession must be warfare"(81). A lot of things can be settled without bloodshed and violence. In the modern world, war is an extremely scary thing, especially with all the nuclear and biochem technology. I believe a "prince's" main objective and p .....

Brave New World Summary
.... has the Director throw large amounts of "scientific data" at you without giving you time to figure out their meaning. Huxley thereby undermines one of his intentions here- to use the Director as a cartoon character who expounds some of the scientific ideas that the author wants you to think about. He also wants to satirize a world that makes such a know-it-all important and powerful. Sometimes the real world gives such people power, too. You may meet scientists like the Director in college or businesspeople like him at work.
The Director talks about incubators and fertilizing, about surgically removing the ovary from the female .....

.... spend their time working in the fields or at home performing familial duties. Nutrition is lacking "He could smell the coffee from the room where they would presently eat the cold food remaining from the mid-afternoon meal" (PARA. 55). As a consequence, poor health combined with inadequate opportunity results in low morale. A morale which the writer is identifying with the middle class of his times "that same quality which in later years would cause his descendants to over-run the engine before putting a motor car into motion" (PARA. 20)

Miss Brill: A Pathetic Character
.... she hears something crying. Her life is so inauthentic, made up of second hand gossip, and second hand furs, that she’s incapable of recognizing the true origin of her tears, which of course, is her grief and humiliation. She has never before seen herself as “odd, silent, and… just come from a dark little room or even-even a cupboard!” Her world is essentially lived in a shell and almost in seclusion. It is more natural for her to believe the crying comes from the fox’s glass eyes than from her own desolate eyes. Like all of us, she has hopes and dreams, particularly of being on stage. However, these hopes were just a part of .....

The woods, in my story are creepy in appearance as most woods are, but are very safe and calming . My woods are overcome with nature at it’s best and great scenery.

.... imperfection on the cheek of Georgiana. Dreams are often viewed as a perception of a person's unconscious mind. Aylmer is not a selfish man in his wishes for his wife to have her birthmark removed. He is just unable to control himself, much like children do.
