cancer in the United States. According to current

19 Th Century Pride And Prejudice
1,065 words
A great text not only reflects society, but also
challenges its way of thinking. How true is this
statement? A great text can be defined as one that
our civilization deems valuable- a text that not
only portrays the workings of society, but also
defies existing constructs of the times and
encourages progression in society's attitudes
towards relevant issues. Such a text is Simon
Langton's 1995 production of Pride and Prejudice.
Through the characterisation of the main character
Lizzie, Langton c...

Revealing Clothes Word Flirt Guy
525 words
Who Is More Flirtatious? ? What does the word
flirt really mean? Is it a good thing or a bad
thing? People ask these questions all the time.
Well, in Websters New World College Dictionary,
the word flirt is defined as follows: "to pay
amorous attention without serious intentions or
emotional commitment; play at love." Flirting by
definition therefore is light-hearted and
non-serious play. In my opinion, girls flirt way
more than guys do. Girls can flirt in the way they
dress, act, and talk. A gi...

Empty Seats Homeless Man Things

In our everyday lives we encounter situations in
which we take many things for granted. These
forgotten things become of value to us the moment
we find our self without their presence. For
instance, a man holding his house keys does not
take into consideration the value of those keys.
He only thinks that they are odd shaped metals
things in his pocket, which annoy him when he
walks. Yet the moment he misplaced his keys, they
become the most important things to him at that
time. We only treasure ...

Consequences Of Human Desire In The Scarlet Letter

In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, many
of the characters suffer from the tolls of sin,
but none as horribly as Hester's daughter, Pearl.
Throughout the novel, Pearl is a symbol of the sin
that her mother has committed, and also suffers
from this sin. Pearl is portrayed as an offspring
of vice, and is even characterized as demonic by
her mother. The austere Puritan society isolates
Pearl, causing animosity between her and the other
Puritan children. Pearl is conceived in sin, is a

Wearing Uniforms School Uniforms
571 words
Dress code in schools has always been a problem
because students somehow find it hard to follow
the rules on what they can or cannot to school.
While clothing is a relatively minor issue when it
comes to education, wearing uniforms does seem to
improve an educational environment. Therefore, I
firmly believe that uniforms should be enforced
upon students from elementary to high school. This
will help teach discipline, focus less on certain
groups, and break down on economic differences.

Big Jim Police Department

For several years after Capone arrived in Chicago,
things were comparatively quiet among the various
gangs that had carved up Chicago's rackets.
Nonetheless, reform-minded William E. Dever
succeeded the spectacularly corrupt Mayor "Big
Bill" Thompson. With city government nominally in
the hands of an earnest reformer, the daily
process of payoffs and corruption became more
complicated. Torrio and Capone decided to put many
operations out of the city into the suburb of
Cicero, where they could pu...

York Longman 1999 Reading Across The Curriculum

My high school was relatively small. To put it
into perspective, I graduated with eighty-six
people. In my class there were the usual cliques.
There were the smart kids, the athletes, the
cheerleaders, the drug users, and the slackers.
But somehow I didn't fit into all of this. I
wasn't, and still am not, the smartest person in
the history of the world. I'm way too clumsy to
play any sports. I wasn't the right size to be a
cheerleader. I wouldn't even consider using drugs,
and I certainly am not...

In 1605 the English were just discovering the new

between the Indians and the hated European
colonist. A captain named John Smith and two of
his troops were walking through the forest, when

The setting plays a significant role in the story.
It reinforces Elisa's feelings of isolation from
the world. The tale is set in the beautiful valley
of Salinas, California, but with all its beauty,
this location takes on the role of some sort of
prison in which one could feel trapped. 'The high
grey-flannel fog of winter closed off the Salinas
Valley from the sky and from all the rest of the
world. On every side it sat like a lid on the
mountains and made of the great valley a closed

them tick. This semester we have come across two

similar personality traits. In The Garden-Party,
