... parents at home use various forms of corporal punishment on their students and children -- there are also several techniques associated with each of them. But as our society becomes more civilized, these savage acts are now looked upon with disdain and contempt. What used to be considered as corporal punishment is now considered as physical abuse. It should be thought of that way long ago. Physical abuse as penalty surely works. It arouses resentments and bitterness, but it works. If a student does something wrong and gets a whipping for it, he or she will cease doing the same erroneous act again. Though it will no ...

... love was never to be realized though, until they both fell victim to underhanded plots devised by their friends. Their odd road to romance was an aspect of the play that was very pertinent to the plot and indeed something that would keep the reader’s attention. The notion that Beatrice was not fond of Benedick was conveyed very early in the first act. As news of the arrival of Benedick and company to Messina was announced, Beatrice immediately started to poke fun at him. She inquired as to who he had become friendly with and then began to say she knew Benedick to be fickle and have a new sworn f ...

... boys‚ the stamp being the mark of a soldier‚ changing them forever. Also soldiers are compared with "automatons" or more commonly referred to as robots(105). Remarque uses this analogy to give the impression that the soldiers are enduring the same feeling over and over again‚ as if they were inhuman. In this classic war story Remarque also describes the soldiers as inhuman wild beast in addition to the non­living objects. Paul states that when soldiers reach the zone where the front begins they are transformed into "instant inhuman animals"(56). Remarque is saying that the zone is like a magical line; on ...

... had such a secret that she had to be where "no mortal could observe them"(Hawthorne 103) She wanted this witch to help her see and hear what was happening with her loved ones; but she only had one hour to do so and after this one hour she would die Hawthorne did not come out and say this but in saying things like "there is but a short hour that we may tarry here."(Hawthorne 103) and I will do your bidding though I die(Hawthorne 103). She had run from everything that was important to her because the most important, was dying. Hawthorne was not too clear in stating what exactly the problem was but it see ...

... years would soon be let out. Eppie sensed remorse and could feel his sadness, even without knowing his reason. Silas forced a smile and opened his outstretched hand to reveal a small, cloth-covered box. Eppie reached over and with a bit of fear she slowly grasped the box and began to untie it's ribbon. She too forced a smile. When the gift was finally open, after what seemed to be an eternity, Eppie reached in and delicately lifted out a small golden locket. Immediately she smiled and was happy to receive a wonderful gift. She ignored the sadness she had sensed only a moment ago. Eppie reached out and hu ...

... they were ordinary. They were middle class, educated, and successful in their civilian lives. Five of them were members of the Nazi party, but none were in the SS. Of thirty-two remaining officers twenty-two were Party members, but none were members of the SS. Sixty-three percent of the rest of the battalion were blue-collar workers. About thirty-five percent were lower-class workers. The remaining two percent were middle-class but not greatly successful. Many were in their late 30s, too old for active army duty, but just right for police duty. They were old enough to know of political ideology other than that ...

... plays a major role as a motive for his various schemes and lies. Throughout the story, Iago portrays himself as a Satan figure. In many ways, Iago can compare with Satan. Iago, like Satan, has proved himself to be a master of deception. He lies to everyone taking great care to disguise his own thoughts. For example, in Act 1 scene 2, when he is speaking to Othello about his feelings toward Cassio, he uses very strong language, while at the same time, he lies throughout the whole speech faking loyalty to a fellow soldier and all the while implying that he is reluctantly holding back the full truth: “I had rath ...

In this short story, 'The Ruum', is the extra-terrestrial machine that chases Jim and it is this chase, that puts all its readers at the edge of his or her chair. Arthur Porges has created an entertaining story that is very suspenseful and exciting. 'The Pedestrian' is a totally different type of story, which brings up social issues that can be debated. The point of these issues is to make the people of today think about whether what the ...

... no ordinary day. Miss Stillwagon's unprecedented behavior in the bank and the fact that he does not know who will feed him are both noteworthy in that they are odd occurences . In the universal order, something is amiss. By mentioning the unique qualities of the day, O'Hara very subtly draws the reader's attention to the most notable event of the day. He does not even mention the deceased until the 25th line, and he never states her name (except for the clever reversal of her nickname in the title). Billie Holiday, or Lady Day as she was called, is one of those luminous characters in history whose name alone ...
