...“So perhaps I am writing a transposed autobiography; perhaps I now live in one of the houses I have brought into the fiction; perhaps Charles is myself in disguise. Perhaps it is only a game. Modern women like Sarah exist, and I have never understood them. Or perhaps I am trying to pass off a concealed book of essays on you.” (p. 80). As a reader, in this point in the novel, I get thoroughly confused and do not know where I stand, much less where I am headed. I realize that there is an inside and outside of the novel, the inside being a world of a story itself and the outside being the space made known to us by the narrator. After this turning point in the novel and now looking back, this quote gives a brilliant over view of the book. Fowles does a wonderful job of unraveling and expanding your imagination to other things and makes the novel seem a lot more than just any other book. There are a vast variety of themes in the French Lieutenant’s Woman, especially the relationships of the characters. One of the most challenging things as a couple for Charles Smithson and Sarah Woodruff is just the relationship at itself, the relationship answers to the desires of both of them for a life lived outside and in defiance of the rules. Charles is a scholarly and independent man, the superior of the social classes, he is rather confused and fascinated by the mystery Sarah portrays. He is intrigued by the shallowness and signs of weakness shown by Sarah. Charles is starting a habitual...

...Most people always went through an event that has a great impact on their lives, changing the very manner in which they view life and perceive it. My story might not outstanding to other people, but for me, it was a spectacular changed. For years in my life, I would never forget the first time I had my first flight. My family and I immigrated to a new country that I never thought of. Because of that flight, my life had changed from one culture to a different culture in just 24 hours on the airplane It was winter in 2006 when my family and I decided to move out of the country. One week before the departure date, my mum told me that her, my brother, and I needed to immigrate to the United State of America for better lives. I was a teenager at the age of 14 years old at that time. I didn’t really know how my life would be in the U.S, but I was surprised to have a chance to travel outside the country for the first time. The time was liked a flash, I couldn’t had a enough time to say farewell to my friends and my special person, who is my great grandmother. The boarding time for my first flight had come, and I was so exited to watch my motherland from above. That was to have a better life for my family, but my tears just dropped for no reasons, may be I was scared or missed my old house. Well, no more tears to wasted; I boarded the plane with my family and took off. On August 2006 at nighttime, my plane had landed at International Airport of Houston. From the moment I stepped...

...Short Answer 1) Was Sid McMath a progressive? Explain. Sidney McMath’s time as governor could be described as progressive since it did not fit with conservative or Dixicrat views. When McMath took office in 1948after beating Laney and the two were dramatically different politically. McMath broke protocol by putting blacks into board and commissions that they had not been allowed to serve on before. He worked hard to make thing equal with school funding. He removed the poll tax along with raising the minimum wage. He made great improvements during his one term as governor, but was not supported by the conservative business community. 2) Discuss the political career of Winthrop Rockefeller.

...Fortune, the saying goes, favors the bold. Were that truly the case, the Tucker Model 48 would have been an uncontested success for Tucker Corporation and Preston Thomas Tucker, the visionary jack-of-all-trades inventor behind its creation. Instead, just as production of one of the 20th century’s most innovative automobiles was about to start, the government (as some believe, pressured by Detroit’s Big Three automakers) stepped in and effectively shut Tucker down. Preston Tucker was not an automotive engineer by trade, though few would argue that he possessed the ability to comprehend and advise on technical matters. With a background that included everything from automotive sales through race car and even armored car design (with partner Harry Miller), it was almost inevitable that Tucker would someday turn his attention towards constructing a production automobile that carried his own name. As originally envisioned by Tucker, the Tucker Model 48 (named for its debut year of 1948) featured some truly groundbreaking designs. Alex Tremulis George Lawson penned the streamlined coupe bodywork, featuring the driver in a central position instead of offset to the left (a design that would much later be embraced by McLaren on its F1 supercar). Located in the rear of the car, the proposed 589-cu.in. aluminum flat-six engine was so under-stressed that an overhaul would not be required for the first 180,000 miles. Tucker’s original design lacked a conventional transmission, too, and in...

...“Tucker” There is no recipe, instructions, or formula that makes up a great Leader. Tucker, the main character in the movie Tucker: The Man and his Dream, is a man that we can analyze the strengths and weaknesses that he demonstrated as a leader and manager of his company. This movie is a fictionalized true story about Preston Tucker, an American automobile designer and entrepreneur. Unfortunately, he was not able to compete with the Big Guys of the car industry and failed to fulfill his dream. Tucker’s vision, proactively, and motivation is what made him a great leader, manager and CEO; however his poor management decisions lead him to his downfall. Tucker was a man of vision, which is a critical characteristic to have as a leader. A vision allows for a sense of direction, and a way to focus the attention of everyone associated with the organization. The need to achieve the same vision is why individuals in an organization come together and work as hard as they can in order to succeed. Tucker had the dream to build a car with many new features like air-cooled rear engine, disk brakes, independent 4-wheel suspension, an additional center headlight that pivoted left and right for better vision when turning, a padded dash, seatbelts, and a pop-out safety windshield. He wanted to sell this revolutionary car in an industry that had three Big Guys that were afraid of what he would do to the industry. The Big Guys used many shady tactics, such as spying on Tuckers...

...Obituary Christopher McCendless, 24. Pasted away in Alaska, in August 1992. He was born in El Sagundo, California. He was the first child of Walt McCandless and Wilhelmina ''Billie'' Johnson. He had a younger sister named Carine, and he loved her very much. At school, his teachers noticed that he was a very cleaver, stubborn and strong-willed boy.

Almost all the people he met on his way described him as a very intilligent young man who loved to read books. When you think back on Christopher's life you can not help thinking about how great a person he was and how much he is missed by family and friends. We are many who will miss him as a friend, brother, son and adventures. But mostly we think of his family. We honor his memory. Rest in peace Christopher. We will see you again sometime. Goodbye letter dear mother and father. When I went out on this adventure I knew that it would not be easy and safe. But I had not predicted that this was where my life would end.

...slavery, White America searched for means of social control through the media since they lacked the power of legal control. Black women, being of the lowest racial and gender classes in America, have repeatedly been stereotyped and victimized through the use of degrading images in contemporary media. The origins of these images can be found in the racist ideologies of the African slave woman created by White Euro-American slave owners. The images of black women in American media have directly affected how black women and other people in society define black womanhood. This influence directly shows how people utilize fictitious and stereotypical images from the media in trying to understand the stereotyped group and their behavior. C. Delores Tucker, Black feminist and politician, is an example of a black woman who fought against the images portrayed in the media because she saw the negative effects such images had on the black community and the American society in general. By identifying the images of black women in the media, it is easy to see how the stereotypes manipulate and effect how black women are...

...Hip-hop culture is everywhere. The culture, which encompasses rapping, deejaying, break-dancing and graffiti-writing, has become so popular that it has entered mainstream fashion and modern language. It doesn't stop there. The culture permeates everything from TV commercials to toys to video games. Currently, there is even a hip-hop exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. You name it, and hip hop is there representing. However, hip hop's most potent form is its rap music--embraced by urban Blacks and suburban Whites alike. It is raw self-expression that sometimes features profane lyrics, misogyny and violence. The music, along with rap videos that often present a disturbing mix of rap, hip-hop dance styles, fashion and language, leave many people asking: Is hip-hop culture harming our youth" "The hip-hop culture is just like electricity," civil rights leader the Rev. Al Sharpton told JET. "It can be used negatively or positively. The same electric current that lights up your house can also electrocute you. It is the misuse of hip-hop culture to attack our women and promote violence. We must encourage the proper use of hip-hop culture. We are all influenced by the hip-hop generation." Sharpton, who recently hosted a special summit on social responsibility in the hip-hop industry, labeled gangsta rappers "well-paid slaves."
