... The Council of 50 was made up of 50 members chosen from the Council of 500. The second class of people in the city-states was the Metics. This class was made up of people that were not citizens, either because they were not born in the city-state, or they were prevented from being citizens. The third class were the slaves. These people were captured from wars and subject to serve the city-state without pay. The interesting observation in the organization of the Greek city-state is that only one-third the population had any power. The other two thirds (made up of metics and slaves) were subject to the decisions derived by the citizens, and contained no power nor voice in the p ...

... that they discovered that it was illegal to take a rental car into Mexico. When I was in high school, I was in the band. We lost a competition last year because we had won it the year before, and were cocky enough to think that we could just go down and win it again. We didn't even work that hard in practice for this reason. When we got to the competition, we lost it. We didn't only loose it, but we lost it by a large point margin. If we had prepared ourselves better, we may have been able to win it. Then comes the subject that every student knows well: tests. I have taken, and failed a few tests because I didn't study. I have also gotten lucky, and passed them with a good grade. I recall a ...

... had already established the conditions that the Okies were in search of. They were now attempting to attain extras, and feared that the arrival of the Okies would halt this endeavor. The Okies motives were much nobler than the Californians’; but the Californians still felt that the Okies had no right to invade their land. “And whereas the wants of the Californians were nebulous and undefined the wants of the Okies were beside the roads, lying there to be seen and coveted…” The Californians did not know what they wanted; their dreams were very unclear. The Okies intentions, on the other hand, were very clear and important. This tension still exists today between Immigrants an ...

... but also their marriage by the adultery with Claudius is contemplated by Hamlet until he goes into Ophelia’s room to look upon her. As Hamlet searches Ophelia’s face for some sign that might restore his faith in her, he instead believes her face shows guilt and thinks she is another false Gertrude. There is much similarity between Gertrude and Ophelia in the play. Both are attractive and simple minded, and are easily shaped by opinion, desires and ideas of others. Ophelia and Gertrude seem to be the same women at different stages in their lives. This may be one of the reasons why Hamlet was first attracted to Ophelia and now the reason why Hamlet rejects Ophelia. By disposition, ...

... is destined for a life of evil and there is nothing he can do to change it. Alex has no free will or moral choice. The theme of the 20 chapter version is that there is no such thing as free will or moral choice. Alex is evil and he has no ability to change that. The story also ends without Alex evolving at all from the beginning of the book. Chapter 21 gives the book an absolutely different theme. Alex becomes board with his malicious life, he begins to evolve. "I was like growing up" he says about himself in chapter 21. He decides he wants to create rather than to destruct. The theme of the book with chapter 21 included is that people are who they want to be. There is no such thing as pure ...

... be” (Hemingway 24). However, whenever Jake interacts with Brett Ashley, he loses his previous ideas of romanticism being absurd. Since their previous relationship of being lovers had failed they now tried a relationships of being best friends. As this new relationship develops, Jake and Brett draw back when the other becomes too emotional. “The street was dark again and I kissed her. Our lips were tight together and then she turned away and pressed against the corner of the seat, as far away as she could get. Her head was down” (Hemingway). The reader thus concludes that Jake contains an internal conflict between his behavior around his friend Cohn and his friend Bre ...

... offering a better way of life to the natives. He was considered to be a "universal genius": he was an orator, writer, poet, musician, artist, politician, ivory producer, and chief agent of the ivory company's Inner Station. yet, he was also a "hollow man," a man without basic integrity or any sense of social responsibility. "Kurtz issues the feeble cry, 'The horror! The horror!' and the man of vision, of poetry, the 'emissary of pity, and science, and progress' is gone. The jungle closes' round" (Labrasca 290). Kurtz being cut off from civilization reveals his dark side. Once he entered within his "heart of darkness" he was shielded from the light. Kurtz turned into a thief, murderer, r ...

... ideas. Living '…between two massing powers…' often causes feelings of despair and loneliness where we just want to be alone and when bystanders such as family and friends who provide 'neutrality' try and comfort us we often push them away. 'None such shall be left alive;' goes to show that everyone loses in wars that are caused by mere disagreements. In all battles, even the innocent are harmed like when bullets are fired in the streets of a city, just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, an innocent by-stander could be the receiver of a fatal bullet wound. And as the innocent are '…shot down…' it seems as though the '…private stars…' which we ...
