... people to confess. That upset Proctor greatly, because people would look down on him with disdain, and it would blacken forever his name. What was most important to him was to make a stand against the insanity of the town, for himself and for God, and using that as a last resort to make people aware of what was happening. This last stand for righteousness is an example of proctor's great character and rationale. Arthur Miller wrote his play, The Crucible, a story about the Salem witch trials, and the panic resulting from it, as an allegory to show people the insanity of the McCarthy hearings. He wrote it as an allegory so that, if tried by McCarthy, he co ...
... fact that he may be sexually aroused by her whether they were ‘just friends' or not. This type of unconventional expression of human emotion is the color of all of the selections. The author does not wish to conceal feeling nor put on different faces in different situations but be himself and be happy being himself at all times. Interesting stands on happiness are also expressed. Boredom is vaguely related to happiness by the rationalization that one can be happy simply by picking lint off of the floor. While his thoughts are genuine, one can almost comprehend the randomness of human thought. There is a wrinkled cellophane wrapper on my desk and it reflects m ...
... making the subordinates do their own work. This may require the subordinates to go through a training process or just motivate them to do the work they know is theirs. The supervisor must learn to give out work that is not theirs so that they have time to do supervisory functions. (p. 30) If they are busy doing everyone else's work who is going to do theirs. Once the supervisor puts the work back on the workers it belongs to she needs to make sure everything is going according to plan. This can be accomplished by following the 4 "Rules of Monkey Management." (p. 59) Make sure that the "next moves" are set before you let the subordinate go with a project. ...

" This is Lizzie's first warning, two more times does she warn her sister of the goblin men. Laura refuses to listen to Lizzie. Vernon Laura, unlike her sister, is interested in the goblin men.

... are not allowed to speak. Also the grinding ball found in the story symbolizes “ perfection”, it symbolizes the boys’ childhood’s. When the boys bury the grinding ball, they bury their childhood along with it. The symbolism Ri’os used in his story illuminated the theme, which is change is unstoppable , and that change is always accompanied by loss. In the story “Miss Brill” the author Katherine Mansfield uses symbolism to reinforce and illuminate the theme. Miss Brill is a very lonely lady, she’s all alone. Miss Brill sits in the park and watches people as if she was watching a play. She has a fur that she wears around her neck, when th ...
... “sweet blessings” and “darlings”. Nora thinks of her children as something sort of like a plaything, a doll maybe. Her description of their “red cheeks! -- like apples and roses” emphasizes the children’s doll like appearance, with an imagery of bright red cheeks like those painted on dolls. Nora even goes as far as calling her baby her “sweet little baby doll.” Her throwing the children’s things around shows her carelessness to realize that she is the mother of her children, not their owner like one who owns toys. She acts like a kid playing with her toys, not as much as an adult taking care of her children. She plays hide and seek with emphat ...
... he would prefer, to be beaten thirty-six times by the whole regiment, or to receive twelve bullets in his brain.” That is just one of the many predicaments in which our main character becomes involved in. Another such incident occurs in chapter fifteen when Candide is faced with his true love’s brother. In this scene the brother is outraged that Candide has expressed his love toward his sister due to his unworthiness, and this is the outcome: “…at the same time he stuck him across the face with the flat of his sword, Candide instantly drew his own sword and plunged it to the hilt in the Jesuit baron’s belly” Candide takes these encounters and al ...
