they simply do not bother to find out the truth.
When such circumstances occur, the ostracized
person's actions become unfairly misinterpreted or
not understood at all. Sometimes rumors circulate
about the individuals, that might then be assumed
as the truth....

Ted Hughes was an award winning English poet in
the 20 th century. He was one of the few
successful innovators that had his own personal
poetic technique, of animal symbolism, as he was
deeply involved in the observation of the world of
creatures which in turn confronts the behaviour
and existence of human kind itself. This premise
of animal connotation, highlighting human
temperament, was his niche, receiving immediate
recognition from his audience. Hughes uses the
poem Hawk Roosting taken from...

Tom Couldn't Stand Demaine Oil Man People

Out of the five main characters in the Great
Gatsby, I disliked Tom Buchanan the most (however
his wife Daisy was a close second). He just didn't
seem like he was a nice person, and he also seemed
extremely self-absorbed. I don't believe that he
and I would choose the same values that we would
consider important in guiding our lives. One of
Tom's important values is wealth. He was very rich
and thought that it made him superior to other
people. He enjoys showing off his possessions, "
