... It can also be seen that factors other than s Jewish faith enabled her to survival throughout her ordeal. This statement is evident in both situations, when s life was spared by the German soldier due to her beautiful hair as well as when she admitted that "If mother were to died, I won't be able to maintain my will to survive". Without s continual enthusiasm towards the observance of Jewish festivals, she would have had absolutely nothing to look forward to and in-turn it would have eventuated in a loss of faith and maybe even death. Without a doubt, this characteristic of hers was imperative for her survival. and ...

... go beyond the meter and imagery to compare life to a sea voyage and portray a strong longing for the sea. The two main themes of "Sea Fever" bring the reader closer to the sea and help the reader understand why the speaker must return to the sea. "Sea Fever" not only depicts a strong longing for the sea through its theme, but also through use of complex figures of speech, imagery, and meter. "Sea Fever" is an excellent example of varied meter which follows the actions of a tall ship through high seas and strong wind. Lines one and two contain the common iambic meter found throughout the poem. "Sea Fever" may be ...

... of Cawdor, is killed by MacBeth for trying to lead a revolution against England. His fatal flaw was that he was according to Ross, "a disloyal traitor".

He was murdered, because in order for MacBeth ...

... into the logistics surrounding the propaganda of each theory. God’s diplomats, the Bible-thumping, prophesizing blow-hards much like Brady in Inherit the Wind, are as much the bigoted and biased, sacrilegious and amoral attention-seekers as they proclaim the evolutionists to be. However, their chosen doctrine cannot be overlooked, as I myself am deeply devoted to it’s teachings. Brady and others like him fight from the backbone of Faith. I don’t believe in the literal deciphering of the Bible, but that it is a book of ideals that we must trust in it’s veracity. It isn’t meant to be expla ...

... the people whom the hero represents is met. Ultimately, the measure of the hero's success is whether the legend stands the test of time. While Greek culture and mythology differ from Jewish traditions, their heroes are one in the same. Odysseus and Moses, as well as Jacob, represent epic heroes that could appear in any culture at any point in time and in any form. Epic heroes are not always flawless. They occasionally commit a crime, lie, or do something of questionable moral action. Though married to faithful Penelope, Odysseus continually rapes and pillages, has affairs and even sacrifices his own men. Similar ...

... Victorian public was fascinated by sensational crime and Holmes himself was described as having an immense knowledge of sensational literature. There was a great popularity in late-Victorian London for dismembering murder victims and distributing them around the town. One particular audacious murderer travelled in horse-drawn cabs with the head of his victim on his lap (wrapped in a napkin ), but gave himself away when he payed double the fare when he was told that it was 'sixpence a head'. This was also about the time of the Jack the Ripper murders in which people were afraid to step out of their homes. The Jack ...

... of himself. He believed that no one would be fool enough to try to bring any harm to him, for he was powerful and godlike. However, this train of thought was what led Caesar to his downfall. Many people thought of Caesar as an egotistical and unyielding man who had the heart of a tyrant and who could be expected to crush any remaining liberties of the Romans under his feet. Most of the time, he spoke about himself in the third person which gives an arrogant feeling of Caesar to the reader. This is shown as Cassius spoke to Casca about the upcoming conspiracy. "What trash is Rome, what rubbish and what offa ...

... is fueled by something in side of it. The stuff inside the can sends it around the bathroom even though it does not know where it is going. Oedipa starts traveling around San Narciso but she does not have a destination. She is being fueled by something inside her just as the can was. The stuff inside Oedipa that sends her around San Narciso is her curiosity. Her curiosity in the meaning of the Tristero and the meaning of W.A.S.T.E. are what sends her around San Narciso. She does not know where she is going but she will go until her fuel runs out just like the can. Oedipa travels around the city of San Narci ...

... Today we still view witches as being evil, besides the exception of moral witches, such as Glenda in the Wizard of Oz. Werewolves are people who can alter their body. They are killers who paralyze and then eat people for survival. It has been said that there was once a beast who ate all of the little children in France. Many stories began of werewolves by making little children believe that evil was something that could be prevented by your own actions. From such a vivid and evil picture that people have created of such creatures, people have come to fear and believe other fictional stories about werewolv ...

... when Okeke commiserates with his fellow villagers to discuss the news of his son's disobedience. Commenting on how shocking Nnaemeka's behavior was, the villagers look down on Okeke's son. They think he is a bad son, even calling him "sick" and needing a doctor or herbalist to cure his disobedience. During the tribe members' discussion, Okeke does not stand up for his son or argue that perhaps the rest of them may be wrong about how serious the situation really is. He agrees that Nnaemeka cannot be an exception, he must follow the traditions no matter what. Which is why Okeke picks out a suitable girl he think ...
