... shows his rage in Book I of The Iliad when he speaks out against Agamemnon and refuses to fight, as well as in Book XXII when he avenges the death of Patroclus by the slaughter of Hector. Book XXIV, however, is the book in which Achilles situation most closely parallels that of Priam. To most objectively compare their characters, it is important that the situations we see them responding to are as similar as possible. In Antigone, the battle is over and all that remains are the remains of those fallen in battle. We have very little knowledge of how Creon behaved during the battle, and therefore should not overemphasize the detailed account of Achilles actions d ...

... than friendly means. He contacted John Kay, a former employee of Highs', to "turn brass" for him. This was all part of a clever plot to get Kay to reveal the design of Highs' water frame. Eventually, Arkwright succeded and Kay cunstructed a replica of the water frame, or otherwise known as throstle. Arkwright showed off the model to several people to seek financial aid. He eventually prevailed on Mr. Smalley to fund the project. In April of 1768 he hired Kay and took him along with him to Nottingham where he built a factory turned by horses. On July 3, 1769, he obtained a patent for "spinning by rollers." By doing this, he solidified his hold over the water frame ...

... he illustrated five negative points of choices. In one point Waldman elaborated that "Choice Erode Commitment." This point describes how people tend to linger in making a commitment and wearing away their responsibility in their careers, social life and marriage. He supports his main idea by mentioning his own experience in marriage and examines important statistics about single females. Waldman elaborated that "Choice Leads to Inept Consumption." This describes that the more choices available, the more information the consumer must have in making an intelligent decision. If there are too many choices, the consumer will abandon making rational decisions like saf ...

... he uses all of the techniques of modernist writing to make the reader go back in time to the 1920’s and experience what life and people were like. In the novel The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald uses uncertainty, disjointedness, and disillusionment for the content of his story. The reason why he is a master of modernist writing is because he not only makes his characters uncertain, disjointed, and disillusioned, but he also makes the reader feel that was. He gives the reader a taste of what it was like back in the 1920’s and he does this through the content of his novel. At the opening of the novel the reader is introduced to the narrator, although they will not fi ...

... become free of any laws or rules that govern them. Lipsitz states, “Despite endless rhetoric about “family values,” the wealthiest and most powerful forces in our society have demonstrated by their actions that they feel that young people do not matter, that they can be our nation’s lowest priority” (p.177). This quote declares that young people are regarded to as the lowest priority in our nation. Lipsitz continues, “From tax cuts that ignore pressing needs and impose huge debts on the adults of tomorrow in order to subsidize the greed of today’s adult property owners, to systematic disinvestment in the schools, the env ...

... Conan knows comedy. This knowledge is evident in his opening monologue. With his well timed one liners, and hilarious gestures and facial expressions on stage, he draws the audience in. And once I’m tuned in, I am unable to look away. Conan’s jokes are endlessly funnier than Leno. One reason for this is that Leno’s humor is so expected. He takes the easy way out of jokes. Where as O’ Brian’s humor is off the wall, and straight out of left field, and unexpected. This is why I laugh. Conan is continually coming up with new ideas for the show. What I find most appealing about the program, is its ability to be continuously ...

... we have cluttered our picture. Now there are so many objects in view and situations on the average individual's mind that they may not think much of what the cavemen of the past thought about, such as the sun. So, now that the sun is no big deal, what is? The eye catching object is the automobile. That is man's current attraction, even if that attraction lasts for a split second. Today a car is practically a necessity, not an absolute one, yet with the nature of work it has a definite play in modern life. Cars are safer than ever before. With crash safety devices such as multiple airbags and crush zones to ensure survival it's tough to think of purchas ...

... trying to figure out how they will be able to support their child, how their friends will react, how the baby's father will take the news that he's going to be a dad, and how a new baby will fit into her life. The group (RAMP) wanted to help teenagers deal with some of these issues. It seems most teenage fathers can still go on with their life plans, whereas most teenage mothers must change their plans, or at least take things slower than if they didn't have any children. Many teen moms have a low self esteem, especially if she knows or suspects that others are referring to her as a "bad girl." Having the support of other peers in her situation can only ma ...
