... ownership took place, her bond with her
children was complete. The escape from slavery did
nothing more than intensify this bond. For the
first time she felt she could love her children
unreservedly and had a vision of true freedom:
"Look like I loved em more after I got here. Or
maybe I couldn't love 'em in Kentucky because they
wasn't mine to love... A place where you could
love anything you choose -- not to need permission
for desire -- well now that was freedom" (Page
162). Gender issues...

Time It Takes Time Of Death
1,266 words
One of the first things that happens after death
is that the temperature in the body starts to
drop. Before the temperature in the body core
drops, a temperature gradient must be established
from the outside to the core. After this gradient
has become established the body temperature will
drop with a theoretically predictably rate. This
fact can be used to estimate time of death. Even
if one succeeds in predicting when the temperature
of the body core was 37 degrees Celsius, one has
to remember ...

U S Census Bureau Third World Countries

Across the globe in impoverished third world
countries an estimated 50, 000 children die of
starvation every day (Quine 36). We have all seen
the images of these children -- bloated bellies,
fly covered, bulging eyes -- in television pleas
by various charitable organizations. While these
images sicken us, we idly sit by (often flipping
the channel to avoid them), refusing to help these
less fortunate kids. The problem is made worse by
the ever-increasing population. Even the wealthy
countries li...

two-thirds of the people who die are buried
instead of cremated, that means we need to use 2,
500 acres of land each day for graves. While most
of this land is in areas already designated as

Second Treatise Human Body
1,571 words
Gnostic writings of Jesus portray him as a
heavenly redeemer made less of flesh than of
spirit. The emphasis of Jesus' importance is not
on his physical humanness but rather, on his
ability to show people the way to the kingdom.
Jesus put on flesh in order to give people gnosis
and reveal to them where they come from and where
they will eventually return. When it is time for
Jesus to return to his heavenly home, he is
crucified and resurrected before he finally
ascends. His body's lack of import...

Dead Sea Scrolls Holy Spirit

1. Introduction What role does the Holy Spirit
play in our lives? It played a big role in the
Dead Sea Scrolls and in Pauls letter to the
Galatians. The people being addressed in the Dead
Sea Scrolls are Jews and Christians, so they do
not yet know the modern day Holy Spirit. However,
they do deal with spirits that affect their lives
the same way the Holy Spirit affects the lives of
the Galatians. In both cases the audience is being
tested by falsehood, vanity, freedom and slavery.

Shakespeare's Use of Trickery and Disguise In His
Plays Shakespeare uses similar comic elements to
effect similar outcomes in his works. Many of his
plays utilize trickery and disguise to accomplish
similar endings. Trickery plays a major role in
The Merchant of Venice and drives most of the

Have You Eaten Yet? : Swift s Final Solution As a

Swift s Proposal has been canonized as a satirical
model of wit. As will be discussed shortly, Swift
s essay is often seen as an allegory for England s
oppression of Ireland. Swift, himself and Irishman
(Tucker 142), would seem to have pointed his razor
wit against the foreign nation responsible for his
city s ruin. Wearing the lens of a New
