Ernest Hemingway
... proper. She was a dreamer who was upset at anything which disturbed her perception of the world as beautiful. She hated dirty diapers, upset stomachs, and cleaning house; they were not fit for a lady. She taught her children to always act with decorum. She adored the singing of the birds and the smell of flowers. Her children were expected to behave properly and to please her, always. Mrs. Hemingway treated Ernest, when he was a small boy, as if he were a female baby doll and she dressed him accordingly. This arrangement was alright until Ernest got to the age when he wanted to be a "gun-toting Pawnee Bill". He be ...

between Cuba and the mainland is less than 150 miles(Ramo 62). Most fleeing Cubans
make the trip from Cuba to America the old fashioned way: in a rickety craft with weak
motors. A good trip takes about ten hours, while a bad trip goes on for days. Sailing the
Atlantic could be eternal during a storm, as Cubans are swept away. At least sixty people
have paid the price of venturing each year(64).
Caught up in freedom fever was Elisabet Gonzalez, who had been dating
small-time Cuban hustler, Lazero Munero, since 1997. During the summer of 1998,
Munero and three friends made ...

Othello The Tragic Hero
... play, Othello’s character changes from a flawless military leader, to a murderer. He has certain traits which make him seem naive and unsophisticated compared to many other people. Iago knows Othello is a proud man, Othello’s open and trusting nature in the beginning of the play lets Iago- cunning, untrustworthy, selfish, and plotting; use him as a scapegoat.
Othello, the Moor, as many Venetians call him, is of strong character. He is very proud and in control of every move throughout the play. The control is not only of power but also of the sense of his being who he is, a great warrior. In Act ...

He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow. (p.923)

A Farewell To Arms 2
... at the Bains de l'Allaiz where
the woodcutters stopped to drink, and we sat inside warmed
by the stove and drank hot red wine with spices and lemon in
it. They called it gluhwein and it was a good thing to warm
you and to celebrate with. The inn was dark and smoky inside
and afterward when you went out the cold air came sharply
into your lungs and numbed the edge of your nose as you

Hemingway's and his characters'--beliefs. The punchy, vivid
language has the immediacy of a news bulletin: these are
facts, Hemingw ...

King Oedipus By Sophocles
... mystery of their previous king, Laius. In order to quicken the cure, Oedipus calls on Teiresias, the blind prophet to aide them. Excessive pride fuels his inability to believe the prophecy of Teiresias stating Oedipus is the killer, and that he has married his mother. “Until I came – I, ignorant Oedipus, came – and stopped the riddler’s mouth, guessing the truth by mother-wit, not bird-love.” Because he continually boasts about how he has saved Thebes from the Sphinx, he believes that no one could know more than he, especially if he is the one to be accused of a crime he “knows” he didn’t commit. ...
