... I really enjoyed the profile of Louise Kahan a female Jewish American writer, because she is independent and strong willed. An example of her strength and belief in herself Louise did not instantly return to her ex-husband Oscar even though they both still loved each other, because she was strong enough to resist him and his womanizing ways. Piercy gave me a much better understanding of the cultural and social issues of the World War two era. I learned about the little struggles of working American women, such as the unavailability of stockings and society's negative attitude towards women wearing pants. These issues were ones that I had never thought abou ...
... Well, that's all right, its only fifteen years off his career and the end of his pitching. Strike one! I guess that he didn't learn his lesson because one night while Roy's new so-called friend Bump leads him to a hotel room knowing that his girlfriend Memo is lying buck-naked on the bed. When Roy notices her there he doesn't stop and think,”Hold on a second their is a naked woman in my bed mabey I should turn on the light and ask her what she's doing here” No, he just jumps into bed and runs the bases. So one day Bump dies and Roy thinks that Memo's all his, boy is he wrong. This new found passion totally messes up his train of thought and guess what? ...

... with her troubles. She remembers her time in the convent as a young girl—a time when she was happy and passionate about life, for awhile. Then she grew bored with the ordinary life of a student in a convent, and the stories of love and passion called to her more than ever. She remembers how she had longed for the love affairs that she had read about in her romance novels, and how she had imagined her future. She recalls how her imagination had carried her away into the depths of the story; perhaps it is her imagination that is at fault for implanting these ideas in her head. Life certainly has not turned out the way she dreamed. Next, she remember the ...
... liep op zijn tenen om de congiere maar niet te wekken uit zijn verdoving, als die wakker werd waren de poppen aan het dansen. Hij trok de rits van zijn leren zwarte jas helemaal dicht en sloop de nooduitgang uit. De lamp buiten sprong aan. Zonder naar te denken zette Bertus het op een lopen en verdween in de donkere nacht. Toen hij thuis kwam sloop hij zachtjes naar de schuur. Tegen de wand stond een breekijzer, hij wikkelde deze in kranten en hield het ijzer onder zijn jas. In zijn hoofd ging hij alle mogelijkheden na. Had hij alles? Kon iemand hem? Of nog erger HAD iemand hem gezien? Hij zette deze gedacht uit zijn hoofd en liep zachtjes naar buiten. Hij liep ...

Edgar represents beauty with his "blue eyes and even forehead", while Heathcliff is the ugliness as "the little black haired thing". Edgar and Heathcliff both show love for Catherine but for different reasons. Heathcliff loves Catherine because she is "wild and a free spirit" and wants to be with her forever, yet Edgar loves Catherine because she is his wife and he wants to protect her from the evil Heathcliff. Heathcliff who is as "rough as a saw-edge and hard as whinestone", is an outsider whose soul is torn between love and hate, and, because of the ...
... seen such beautiful shirts before" (98). It seems silly to cry over simple shirts, but they symbolize an American Dream which people desire. These shirts represent the opulent manner of Gatsby's wealth and his ability to try and purchase Daisy's love, this time through the use of extensive clothing. Fitzgerald wisely shows how Gatsby uses his riches to buy Daisy. In the story, we know that "They were careless people, Tom and Daisy--they smashed up things . . . and then returned back into their money" By this, we know that Daisy's main (and maybe only) concern is money. Gatsby realizes this, and is powered by this. He is driven to extensive and sometimes illeg ...
