The Good Corn & Turned: Cultural Circumstances And Its Effect On A Character's Reaction To Certain Situations
.... hoping that Elsie
would give the baby to her. Mrs. Mortimer was not overly upset with Mr.
Mortimer because she felt that because she was in a depressed state
concerning her infertility that she pushed him away and also the fact that
if she didn't forgive her husband she would be left stranded with no-money,
no possessions and not knowing anybody because of her isolated
circumstances.
Mrs. Marroner on the other hand reacted to Gerta's pregnancy very
differently. At first she was devastated, overly emotional and in denial
that something like this could happen after all that they had been through
and because Gerta was almost like a d .....

Should Surrogate Motherhood Be Permitted?
.... to the birth mother. It is usually an arrangement between
close friends or family members.(1-10)
There is no federal policy on the issue of surrogacy, all fifty
states have been left to decide theses issues themselves and create their
own policies. The majority of the states have not yet legislated on this
subject. Those states that have taken positions differ greatly from one
another, such as California and Virginia, who have taken opposing
viewpoints California is the state that is the most sympathetic to the
genetic parents. Under California law surrogacy agreements are enforceable
and the genetic parents are given all .....

Spirits Of The Night
.... down from street to
street, grasping for any living entity that dared to be out after dark.
After their time in the light of day that was no longer theirs. Parents
would bar and shutter the windows against the curious faces of their
children, who wished to gaze out at the spectral parade that pasted by
their houses. Come away from there, they would command, fearing even a
glimpse from the ethereal visitors would portend dreadful consequences. The
darkness was not for their eyes.
So the night would pass with terror and resignation. Night after night,
the pattern would remain unchanged. The town was accustomed to the strange

Analysis Of Several Works Of Literature
.... humanity can only hinder his thirst for knowledge.
The other side gives me little trouble;
First batter this present world to rubble,
Then the other may rise — if that's the plan.
This earth is where my springs of joy have started,
And this sun shines on me when brokenhearted;
If I can first from them be parted,
Then let happen what will and can!
I wish to heat no more about it —
Whether there too men hate and love
Or whether in those spheres too, in the future,
There is a Below or an Above.
(Faust, Faust, 994)
Humanity is a curse to Faust and he, in turn, has a very cynical view on
the probability of .....

Everyone Has Dreams, But To Carry Them Out Is The American Dream
.... apartment that he shared with his parents and
brother. Still he had a dream, the American Dream, to own his own business.
This dream for him came about when he was a young boy and read the book
The Rothschilds, by Frederic Morton. In this book he read about a family
that came from nothing and built up a fortune through hard work
perseverance and most of all ambition. It was this yearning to carry out
their dream that motivated the Rothschilds, and it was the book about them
that motivated my dad to carry out his dream. He said that “...once I read
that book[The Rothschilds] I knew what I wanted to do, I wanted to own my
own bu .....

The Masculine Dismissal Of A Women's Quest In The Odyssey, A Room Of One's Own, And Northanger Abbey
.... already I have suffered much and
done much hard work..." (The Odyssey 9. 12-16)
So the hero of The Odyssey displays the manifold ability to overcome beings
of all kinds, one after the other. Always he comes to fore as the master,
and by his extraordinary greatness, leaves all others behind him. From
Odysseus, the readers can learn to conquer life. But there is an issue of
uncertainty within the Greek-value system, for it places far greater
emphasis upon successful performances in the external world than of inner
consciousness of right and wrong. The outside domain thrusts the hero into
countless situations that .....

Lord Byron's "Darkness": The Faithful But Fated Dog
.... for the loss of
fire. Men first give "selfish prayer" and later cast their eyes downward
with "curses". Both of these words portray the close ties to a religious
setting or event. The most obvious of the religious ties is line 46 in
which, "The meager by the meager were devoured". The ironic parallel to
the Biblical belief that the meek shall inherit the earth is clear. The
meek, or in this case the meager, shall inherit the destruction through
their own death and consumption.
This appalling prospect of death and destruction is revealed
throughout "Darkness" by the primary images of darkness, fire, the death of
two enemi .....

The Function Of Profanity In Modern English
.... create the need for new words with the same taboo status as the
original words? To summarize: Does profanity serve a useful purpose in the
English language?
In order to answer a question this complex, certain guidelines must be set.
The word "profanity" has a long list of taboo words associated with it, not
all of which can be accommodated within such a short study. It is therefore
necessary to limit which words we consider. Since this is a study of modern
English, the words should be representative of the kind of profanity used
today. In his superb study "Swearing," Geoffrey Hughes said:
...A major shift has occurred in comp .....

The Gambles In Life
.... the male has lost
the gamble is the female says "no."
As life progresses, this child continues to gamble. When this
person gets old enough to obtain a driver's license, he will continue to
take chances. Some people will drive very recklessly by speeding,
disobeying traffic signs, running traffic lights, and even passing. When a
person does any of these, he gambles with both his life and even the law.
Through speeding, and disobeying signs and traffic lights, a person takes
the risk of having an accident, receiving a ticket or an injury or even
killing himself.
As an adult, one might continue to gamble with driving, but he or

Dante's Inferno: The Guardians Of The Inferno
.... himself. However, being a glutton, he must surrender himself
to his appetite. His appetite just overtakes him when Dante throws dirt in
Cerberus' mouth, and the poets are allowed to enter the circle. Cerberus
is an example of how everything must submit to the glutton's appetite,
including his soul. This is a dark sin because they now worship food
instead of God, and this is reciprocated by the rain, which belies the
jolly nature of gluttons and gives them dark temperaments. Gluttony is a
sin which involves one person, and it is more of a selfish sin, but the
gluttonous are alone because they always ate alone.
Pluto is the gua .....
