Upon his graduation, seventeen year old Hemingway headed to Kansas City to enlist in World War I, in outright defiance of his parents objections. However the army rejected Hemingway, despite his repeated efforts, due to permanent eye damage incurred from his years of boxing. Yielding finally to the army's rejections, he added a year to his age and was hired as a reporter for the Kansas City Star, a national newspaper.

... trouble began. Zena found out about it and tried to push Mattie out of the house. Another flaw that Ethan shows in immaturity. This is demonstrated when he is trying to convince Mattie to run away with him to Florida. He tries to run away from his problems instead of facing them. A fourth flaw is reveled when Ethan and Mattie are sledding down the hill. Mattie says that she never wanted to leave the hiss, so together they slid down the hill and into a tree, trying to commit suicide. In my opinion, this was rather stupid when they had a bottle full of poison in the barn. In this paper I have demonstrated four character flaws of Ethan Frome. There in include ...
... and so on. Not a bad set up if Okonkwo did not like what his first wife prepared, he had two more meals to fall back on. If a man's first wife did not produce the sons he longed for, he had other wives to impregnate and hope they would produce the sons he desired. In Things Fall Apart, the book seems to depict men as getting all the benefits of polygamy, or do they? What about the relationships between the wives? Do they all get along? Are they jealous of one another? Can a man really live with more than one wife in total peace? For example wife number one bears no children. Wife number three bears four sons while wife number two produces two daughters. By traditi ...

The authors underlying main theme, throughout the book, seemed to be to show that Josef Mengele was not who his infamous legend would dictate. It is true that he was a cold and ruthless killer who murdered thousands of innocent people. He earned the nickname “The Angel of Death” for the way he would remain calm and com ...
