... of reality and challenges that await the immigrating Slovaks. He shows through the lives of Kracha, Mike, and Mary, that immigrants can be successful despite the anti-immigrant sentiment and power of large corporations. Djuro Kracha, a recent immigrant, leaves Hungary in hopes that he is "leaving behind the endless poverty and oppression that were the birthrights of a Slovak peasant in Franz Josef's empire" (Bell, p.3). Kracha's desire to leave his plight behind in his native country and restart his life in America is the reason that also drove the Chinese to the United States, earlier the Irish and later the ...

... of tone. Both "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "A Message from Hell" display congruities in theme, expressing the importance of salvation and the terror of hell. Jonathan Edwards delivers his sermon to awaken the audience and to increase the awareness of hell and how to avoid damnation. Also in "A Message from Hell," Ed Andrews' message warns the audience of the horror of hell and persuades them to acquire salvation. Both authors deliver their sermons to foment the emotions of the audience to take advantage of the situation and express the urgency of repentance. Edwards and Andrews both prea ...

... the war. This idea is established clearly in a lengthy speech Gene gives as the narrator of the story in Chapter Three: Everyone has a moment in history which belongs particularly to him. It is the moment when his emotions achieve their most powerful sway over him, and afterward when you say to this person "the world today" or "life" or "reality" he will assume that you mean this moment, even if it is fifty years past. The world, through his unleashed emotions, imprinted itself upon him, and he carries the stamp of that passing moment forever. (32) This statement explains that Gene ...

... hold books close to their faces? Did they have to squint? I wish I could have been normal. I wished I could see but it just wasn't my destiny. I always had a vision impairment. It was always a problem my family thought was normal. This all changed towards the end of my fifth grade year in Elementary School. My teacher continuously asked me questions referring to things on the board. I told her that my glasses didn't work, but she thought I was just trying to get out of doing my work. After several days of this she called my grandmother. I got in a lot of trouble for not doing my work. I complained often a ...

... this journey to get to a point right past where all the waves break, to a point called the line-up. It’s here, where he waits for a wave that he catches back towards the shore, only to make the journey back through all the cold harsh currents and waves again. He catches a few waves, and then catches one all the way back to shore, where he showers, gets dressed and then goes off to work. He has one of the most stressful jobs I can think of. He is a counselor at one of the local shelters for teenage runaways. He deals with teen depression, suicidal tendencies, and coordinates bringing these kids back together with ...

... many finance houses couldn’t repay their foreign leaders and the whole system went into gridlock putting 20,000 white-collar employees out of work. The Thai crisis triggered a general flight of capital out of practically all the Southeast Asian emerging markets, driving down the value of currencies in South Korea, Malaysia and Indonesia. Southeast Asian slowdown began to have an important effect on commodity prices around the world, including Russia. Too many of Russia’s factories couldn’t make anything of value. Without much of a growing economy, the Russian government became dependent on taxes fr ...

... professor. Dodgson was a deacon in his church, an inventor, and a noted children's photographer. Wonderland, and thus the seeds of his unanticipated success as a writer, appeared quite casually one day as he spun an impromptu tale to amuse the daughters of a colleague during a picnic. One of these girls was Alice Liddell, who insisted that he write the story down for her, and who served as the model for the heroine. Dodgson eventually sought to publish the first book on the advice of friends who had read and loved the little handwritten manuscript he had given to Alice Liddell. He expanded the story consider ...

... comparing these products, texture played a big part in the decision buying process. The product should be shiny, smooth and not greasy. I gave Lip Smackers a score of eight out of ten in the texture category, because the lip-gloss is shiny and smooth, but it is kinda greasy. Preparation plays a giant part in choosing the product. Now that in today’s society, everything has to be all natural, hypoallergenic, and non-animal tested; it is pretty hard to find the “perfect� product. Lip Smackers got a nine out of ten, because it doesn’t quite use all natural products. When liking your lips, wouldn’ ...

... to all of the servants, and they finally about a second gunshot heard in the house. When the Gormans first encounter Charley in his bedroom, they immediately call his personal doctor at the theater to tell him that Charley feels just fine. Chris relates the story to the doctor when she says, "Dr. Dudley, I'm afraid there's been an accident... Well, we just arrived here at Charley's house about ten minutes ago, and as we were getting out of our car, we suddenly heard this enormous... thud... It seemed Charley had tripped going up the stairs... no, wait, down the stairs. Down the stairs. But he's all right," (13) ...

... do whatever they please! C: you alone are in that opinion. A: No, they are with me, But they keep their tongues in leash.� By saying thus, Antigone is proclaiming all everyone holds the laws of the Gods higher than the laws of the State, unless the State is the more immediate threat. But this all raises another question, does the law of the Gods really matter? Will the Gods truly beseech you and seek to bring you harm for not following in their ways? One who is not so religious would say no, it is not the Gods who hold the sword at your throat but a man, who at that moment cares nothing for the Gods. But in ...
