Well, Pat starts going back into Abigail’s past to find out more about her.

She is living in h ...

... is masculine." (p.30) This was considered improper to the older fishermen, as it was spoken of like a place or a contestant. The old man always referred to the sea as a female, like a mother. "He always thought of the sea as la mar which is what people call her in Spanish when they love her." (p.29) He saw the sea as a woman, a woman that gave or withheld favors. She was unpredictable beacuse "The moon affects her as it does a woman." (p.30) The sea was like a second home for the man, who fished every day. La mar provided the man with food, a living, an enemy, and a friend. When he was out on the sea fi ...

... Carolina. At UNC, Rheingold docks molecules and visits a virtual building; at NASA, he pilots helicopter simulators and operates robots in virtual "outer space;" and in Tsukuba, Japan, he has a high-tech out-of-body experience, watching himself through the eyes of a telerobot. In Hawaii he operates another te lerobot at a Marine research center that is a machine gun. He gives us a brief history lesson on VR and the computer itself highlighting some of the pioneers like Doug Englebart of ARC(Augmentation Research Center). This is the place that invented the mouse and hypertext. His history lesson included the evolu ...

... no freedom, and no identity. If the people knew that they could make a difference, they might have rebelled against the Party. The only problem is that these people live in oblivion. Every history book has been altered to say that the Party existed when the first human beings walked the earth. The citizens do not realize that there have been better circumstances; therefore, they think they live in the best time of history. In essence, people are unaware of their plight, and they know no better. George Orwell’s 1984 shows how a human being can be stripped of its emotions, its freedom, and its identity if t ...

... out in 1969, the moral dilemma surrounding illegal abortions was still a hot enough topic to seem ripped from the headlines. Though abortion certainly remains a hot-button issue, the debate has shifted. For the time being, at least, the argument centers on whether or not the act should be legal, not on whether or not doctors are currently breaking the law by performing them. The antiquated plot line is not the story's main flaw. The biggest drawback here is a one-two punch of highly technical prose employed to relate a thoroughly dull story. Karen Randall, the daughter of an eminent physician, dies as the result of ...

... about this reading that fascinated me the most isn't what led this man to the Klan, or what he did with them. The thing that really got me was how much this man changed over the course of time. When he first joined the Klan, it was because he needed a group to fit into that related to his problems, and he needed to direct his anger and hostility toward someone- that someone happened to be blacks. The reading doesn't really concentrate on all of the things he did as a Klan member, except to say that he did particularly “hate� one of the black people in town more than most-Ann Atwater. He claimed to hate her ...

... to. The audience saw a respectable figure, who did not seem to commit any blatant evil, come to his destruction. They saw an indubitable tragedy. Sophocles ensured that the audience would view Oedipus as a respectable and plausible hero by giving Oedipus many of the popular sentiments of the time. These ideals were brought about by a philosophy that was thriving in Greece during Sophocles' lifetime. Most of Oedipus' notions, can be traced back to either the dialectic Socrates in who appeared in Plato's several works, or Plato's student Aristotle. These notions were being circulated throughout Greece during t ...

... Calpurnia wasn't a good enough female role model (p.136). This is a prejudice action, because Calpurnia is as good as a role model as Aunt Alexandra, if not better. Aunt Alexandra is a bigot and doesn't see the character of Calpurnia, just the color of her skin. Another person who is treated like an inferior is Scout by her teacher, because she knew how to read. "She discovered that I was literate and looked at me with more than faint distaste. (p.17)." Scout is treated like it is her fault that she knows more than the average child did. She learned earlier than others so she gets punished unjustly. Tom Robi ...

... head was the eclipse. The people did not know what an eclipse was but they were going to. Hank told them he was a powerful sorcerer and could make the world black and everyone would die. King Arthur witnessed this and believed Morgan so they let him free and from then on Morgan became King Arthur's sidekick. The first use of technology was when people came to see the great magician known as Morgan. Hank told the people he was going to blow up Merlin's tower. When Morgan did this he used dynamite and the people stood in awe. As soon as Hank got his power back from blowing Merlin's tower, he developed a pa ...

... attitude of "the ends justifying the means" are deplorable. A Tale of Two Cities is a love story, which chronicles the lives of Charles Darnay, a Frenchman who renounced his link with the aristocracy, and Sydney Carton, a wastrel who lived in England. Both these characters fall in love with Lucie Manette, the daughter of Dr. Alexandre Manette, unjustly imprisoned in France for 17 years. Though Lucie marries Darnay, Carton still loves her and in the end, gives his life to save Darnay for her. Dickens, who was fascinated with French history, especially the French Revolution, begins by criticizing the aristocrat ...
