One such occasion was when McMurphy rose to meet the Nurse's confiscation and rationing of cigarettes by breaking her window and taking the cigar ...
... Resources Protection Act required Chatters to obtain a permit to excavate on federal land, so before he could go back to excavate he had to get a permit from the Army Core of Engineers (Lee). After receiving his permit he returned to the site several times and recovered a near complete skeleton. At first the nineteenth century artifacts led him to believe that the skeleton was from the same time period, but then he noticed that the bones were discolored and there was soil adhering to them. This indicated that they were not as recent as the late nineteenth century (Slayman). Chatters began to clean and study the skeleton to try to learn as much as he co ...

... the second, his daughter, Nell. Like this, sometimes all a friendship needs is a second chance. If two friends get upset at each other, if they have a good enough relationship, they'll at least attempt to work things out. Obviously, if they have enough in common to be such good friends, they'll have enough patience with the other person to compromise. Compromise is an important part of any relationship; no friendship would last without it. Phaedrus was a lucky and, at the same time, unfortunate man in many ways. He got new chances in at life but also lost a lot that he loved. People or other things shouldn't be taken for granted, that's a big point in "Zen a ...

... reacted in the only way she knew how; she completed her “job” as the wife by storming into tears and weeping in her sister’s arms. She felt no horror or shock, just grief that this person, this “friend”, had passed away. “She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms.”(12) The irony had finally creeped through into her life, her inexplicable and “sometimes” loving marriage had finally come to a sudden halt; Louise Mallard no longer had her dreadful job. ...
