... which has affected our way of thinking about everything either completely changing our lives or simply looking at something in a new light. As we go by day by day, we see a new hope for meaning.

It exhibited a radical new shape never before used, and it was so new the Egyptians used its silhouettes as the hieroglyphic for “primeval mound”, the first piece of earth to emerge from the soup of creation (Malek 90). King Djoser's chief architect for his pyramid was Imhotep. It is thought that King Djoser's stone tomb started out having the standard shape of a mastaba.

... bargaining chips in the relationship between men, never for the traditional purposes of either procreation or pleasure.

My purpose here is to analyze two stories, "El muerto" and "La intrusa," to expose the way in which the homosocial element of ...
