... than six students for the least violent or two per teacher for the most violent. They would be surrounded by a ten foot high chain link fence and the gates are locked after school starts. Once these students were in the school, the doors to the school for the most violent ones would be locked and the windows would be similar to those in the juvenile hall. Students would attend these schools from 8 a.m. until 2p.m., the same as a traditional school. The second way is a work-placement program that can help these troublemakers to find work in the community when they are no longer able to attend or wish to be at t ...

... to his dauntless attempts to keep the two lovers together, he still failed. This was shown in Act 4 Scene 1 " I do spy a kind of hope, Which craves as desperate execution As that is desperate which we would prevent". One of his faults in the plan is shown in Act 5 Scene 3 when Friar John does not know the importance of the letter and does not give it to Romeo. "I could not send it. Nor get a messenger to bring thee, so fearful were they of infection". Another fault to his plan is in Act 3 Scene 3 when he tells Romeo that he will send a friend of his to inform him the news. Instead of telling him that a fellow ...

... 15). Throughout his life Orwell and his father had a very strained relationship, until his father's death in 1939 (Shelden 11). As a result of his parents class prejudice, Orwell had few friends as a child because he was not allowed to play with the "common" children. He eventually invented an invisible friend named Franky to play with (Shelden 19). In 1911 Orwell was sent to St. Cyprian's, a preparatory school, on the Sussex coast. Known for his intelligence, Orwell was "distinguished among the other boys by his poverty and intellectual brilliance" ("Orwell, George." 1020). After attending St. Cyprian's ...

... one thing that is the most common between the two, suffering. Sophocles depicts the suffering of each character throughout both of the plays. He also changes the opening scenes of the play to show the way the play will be laid out. During the whole play of "Antigone" the key theme is individual conscience versus the state whereas in "Oedipus Rex" it is the undying search for truth and discovery of self. "Antigone" Sophocles depicts a political, conscience led woman who is in an unending struggle over right and wrong with her uncle, Creon, the King. All throughout "Oedipus Rex" Sophocles shows a powerful and rig ...

... in buying golden opinions from all sorts of people. But we must not, therefore, deny him an entirely human complexity of motives. For example, his fighting in Duncan's service is magnificent and courageous, and his evident joy in it is traceable in art to the natural pleasure which accompanies the explosive expenditure of prodigious physical energy and the euphoria which follows. He also rejoices no doubt in the success which crowns his efforts in battle - and so on. He may even conceived of the proper motive which should energize back of his great deed: The service and the loyalty I owe, ...

... the novel. It seemed like I was the only one that did not read this classic. So I went to the library and they were all on loan so I bought one. After finishing the novel, which was great, I decided to read another piece of Salinger's work to see how Salinger's writing style would compare to "The Catcher in the Rye". I picked up a book called "Nine Stories", which had, as the title read, nine different short stories. I found myself reading a story called "For Esme - with love and squalor". After completing the story, I discovered that the two stories had a lot in common with each other. It was mainly because o ...

... teenage addiction. MATTER OF CONCERN (Causes and effects) The age when young people are taking their first drink is becoming lower each year. Many studies show that preteens are experimenting with alcohol and many are already heavy drinkers (Cahalan 1997). It may be difficult for parents and teachers to believe that a seventh grade student can have an alcohol problem, but a study of student drinking practices shows that 5% of seventh-grade boys and 4.4% of seventh-grade girls are seriously abusing alcohol (Royce 1996). That's why we see the consequences in terms of antisocial behavior, school failure, attention def ...

... of the sawmill. Henry is big and burly, weighing in at more than two hundred and thirty pounds. He has a black, rough- skinned face. Luke's uncle is said to look like a powerful man, but his health is not good. Henry has aches and pains in his back and shoulders, which his doctor cannot explain. He is respected by his family and friends, and no one ever disobeys him. Uncle Henry thinks that everything has to have a specific purpose. For example, he thinks that his old dog, Dan, is ". . . not much good even for a watchdog now," and is ". . . no good for hunting either." The narrator's description of Hen ...

... there supposedly is witchcraft in Salem, and the children involved in this all lie there way out, and accuse innocent villagers of devilish work. One obvious reason Abigail Williams has for blaming John Proctor’s wife, Elizabeth Proctor, of witchcraft, is the fact that she is madly in love with John Proctor. Elizabeth knows this, too, and has even caught her husband with Abigail once. She then got rid of her as a maid, and put her on the road. When she is talking to her uncle, Reverend Parris, she even mentions that "She [Elizabeth Proctor] hates me, uncle. It’s a bitter woman, a lying, cold, snivel ...
