- 102: Frankenstein Biography, Settin
- ... wife of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. However, she was far more than that, and parts of her life were just as dramatic and tragic, if not more so, than her famous gothic novel. Mary's parents were themselves well-known in English society and somewhat notorious. Her father, William Godwin, was a radical theorist on the French Revolution. Her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, was a pioneer of women's rights and her book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman caused considerable reaction at the time. Furthermore, she already had an illegitimate child, Fanny Imlay, and was pregnant with Mary when she married William ... in 1797. Sadly, Mary never knew her mother as she died just ten days after giving birth. Literary theorists have suggested that this sense of loss and search for identity can be found in Mary's works, particularly in Frankenstein and the creature's search for his creator. Mary was just fifteen years old when she first met Percy Shelley. He was an ardent admirer of Godwin's works and ...

He seemed to be really confused about love and what it really ...
- 104: Making Utilities for MS-DOS
- ... MS-DOS English 4 Mr. Siedlecki Making Utilities for MS-DOS These days, when computers play an important role in virtually all aspects of our life, the issue of concern to many programmers is Microsoft's hiding of technical documentation. Microsoft is by far the most important system software developer. There can be no argument about that. Microsoft's MS-DOS operating system has become a de facto standard (IBM's PC-DOS is actually a licensed version of MS-DOS). And this should be so, because these systems are very well written. The people who designed them are perhaps the best software engineers in ...
- 105: Roswell Incident
- Roswell Incident Almost fifty years ago, an incident occurred in the southwestern desert of the United States that could have significant implications for all mankind. The incident was announced by the U.S. military, and denied by the U.S. military, and has remained covered-up in the government for the past fifty and hopefully not another fifty years. It is not a hoax or false claim, but rather a known event that is thoroughly ... being visited from other planets or not? I chose this topic because of my interest in space and whether life exists on other planets. Is Their technology is far more superior to ours? Why can't we work together to solve the mysteries of the planets? I believe these aliens do exist and I will try to prove it! This will affect my life, because I've always wanted to ...
- 106: Black Female Bodybuilders
- ... Pepa, and Lil' Kim, black women speak a definitive, very public position vis-à-vis the expression of their bodies. Similarly, the accomplishments of black female bodybuilders are redefining both their personal and black women's collective image in relation to a legacy of images that preceded them in history and in popular culture. Perhaps more than any other sport, bodybuilding is a triumph of control, both mental and physical. New ... Hoyte offered an example: "Bodybuilding is almost scientific. I love that it is an exact sport. Your body can change from the time you're backstage to when you're onstage doing your posing - it's that precise. I've seen it happen; people who just lose their definition on stage because they're nervous and they start retaining water."5 The success of black women in bodybuilding positions the sport ... of the body as a vehicle for self-definition. The complexities of defining such heightened displays of strength, femininity, and womanhood are further compounded within the boundaries of a matriarchal culture in which black men's lack of power is deemed the fault of strong, "castrating" black women. Through the act of self-presentation black women have begun to challenge and reinvent what it means to be black and female ...
- 107: Macbeth The Witches Role
- ... to, will be evil and something they do not wish to disclose to anybody else. It is also a fact, that in Shakespearean times, turbulent and dramatic weather such as this, meant that the earth's elements were uneasy, and foretold that something disastrous was to happen. The evil witches seem to be at ease in weather conditions such as these, and it appears that they also have control over the ... have control over the weather, and they also show that the witches appear to be comfortable in this type of weather. The three sisters decided to meet after the commotion is over, "When the hurlyburly's done When the battle is lost and won" The witches add, that they will meet "Upon the heath" and let us know that they will "meet with Macbeth" this first mention of Macbeth intrigues us ...

- 108: The Shelter Of Each Other, A B
- ... Non-reciprocal relationships are being developed with celebrities. This prevents families from developing relationships within a community that shares or at least backs up our values. Television does teach values and behavior, but they aren t our own. And those values aren t what we want our children to be learning. Our crisis is also due to culture and personality. Information that was once only available to adults is now accessible by all. Television news is shown at a time when parents are preoccupied with ending their day. They may want to wind down, or are cooking dinner. They are in a state of mind where they aren t fully aware of what their child is watching. The lead stories, and headlines of newspapers, are often about crime, whether it is murder, assault, drugs, etc. Since the media has made us all equal, ...
- 109: Boo
- ... from the title, for this is not a conventional love song. Prufrock would like to speak of love to a woman, but he does not dare. The poem opens with a quoted passage from Dante's INFERNO, suggesting that Prufrock is one of the damned and that he speaks only because he is sure no one will listen. Since the reader is overhearing his thoughts, the poem seems at first rather ... such parties many times and knows how it will be, and this knowledge makes him hesitate out of fear that any attempt to push beyond mere polite conversation, to make some claim on the woman's affections, will meet with a frustratingly polite refusal. So Prufrock simultaneously plans his approach and tells himself that he can put off the action. The phrase "There will be time," repeated five times between lines ... to represent thwarted desires and modern disillusionment. Such phrases as "I have measured out my life in coffee spoons" (line 51) capture the sense of the unheroic nature of life in the twentieth century. Prufrock's weaknesses could be mocked, but he is a pathetic figure, not grand enough to be tragic. The Unneccessary Comlexity of Life Revealed in The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock Kapil Rajwani, Junior T. ...
- 110: The Bogus Logic Of The Beak Of
- The Bogus Logic of The Beak People who have served in the Armed Forces may be familiar with the expression, "If you can't dazzle then with your brilliance, baffle them with your baloney." The Beak of the Finch uses such laughable logic, it is remarkable that anyone would believe it. The book does such a terrible job of presenting a case for evolution and history, that the only logical conclusion is that the book's true intent is to disprove it. Jonathan Weiner, The Beak of the Finch: A Story of Evolution in Our Time. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1994. ISBN 0679400036. "It is never too late to give ... However, the writers and editors of the book avoid simple logic and put a spin on history that is misleading. The facts and logic presented in The Beak of the Finch really make the book's author out to be a closet creationist. It just so happened that at the same time I read this book, I was reading The Storm Petrel and the Owl of Athena by Louis Halle. ...
