After this, a multitude of new characters were created by Lee. The Hulk, Thor, the X-men, and Spider Man were all creations of Stan Lee (Stan Lee, 2013).

Fear is the eternal loser. Fear is helplessly founded upon stupidity. Fear secretly travels with the mind and openly travels with the body.

...Thérèse Raquin was published in 1867 shortly after Charles Darwin’s Origin of the species was published in 1859 and translated into French in 1862. Darwin’s book looked at the theory of natural selection and its effects on the animal kingdom. It looked into ideas such as natural selection, the struggle for existence, inherited traits and survival of the fittest, all of these subjects can also been found in Émile Zola’s ‘Thérès Raquin’, Zola applied these theories not just to society as a whole but to a specific family. Zola is thought to be one of the greatest naturalist writers. He was keen on the idea that fictional writing could be much like a science that could be used to study human passions and psychology and hoped to develop a ‘scientific literature’, one that could be seen by looking at science through a microscope. The preface to the second edition is used by Zola to speak to the reader directly and to give them some guidance and understanding about the intention of the book. He states ‘In a word, I wanted only one thing: given a powerful man and a dissatisfied women, to search out the beast in them, and nothing but the beast, plunge them into a violent drama and meticulously note the feelings and actions of these two beings’. Here he clearly says that humans are much like animals, with their predatory instincts and he puts this couple together, almost like an experiment to see how they react together and what happens next. Zola seemed to be captivated by physiology...

... From the dawn of time the allure of the unknown has driven human intuition to some dangerous situations. But there are the few who stand up to the danger and challenge of facing the unknown. One of these such people is known as Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is widely regarded as one of the most famous detectives in history. Solving case to case to case to case. But time is a stranger-a wandering orphan of sorts and creates no attachments.

Lee was thinking in leaving the comic industry, and as so Lee did not have anything to lose when his wife suggesting using stories of his liking - his style / taste. Lee also intended to give these heros a complete humanity, meaning flawed, up until that point heros in general where flawless this idea supposed a change in the entire industry. By creating humane characters, Lee was able to not only pick the audience that the ‘Justice League’ created and was unable to satisfy, but also to expand their original audience by touching into more mature themes. In the midst of this Lee, together with Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, created the most popular comic book icons so far, including: The Fantastic Four, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, The X-Men, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and the single most successful character Spider Man. Lee was able to use all these characters, and put them in a single shared universe, thus creating the avengers. In the following years Stan Lee would continue to increase in popularity, and to pioneer in the comic book spectrum, hosting the first african-american character in comic books to have a serious supporting role. Other issues that were touched upon were the vietnam war, student activism, political elections, etc. This raised Marvel not as a comic book company, but as a group of serious writers in search of their voice. ...

The gym is used for mat practice and warm-ups and the local community is used for endurance and cardio exercises. The specific setting I have chosen is in the gym for mat practice and warm-ups of which is where the team spends most of their time. The purpose for choosing this setting is to observe the dynamics of social interaction accompanied by leadership of the older more senior varsity wrestlers and to include the naturalistic form of competition that exists in sports programs. The gym environment is typical for a rural community high school as it is small in size. Laid out on the floor there are four large wrestling mats coordinated with team logos to accommodate 23 team members. Eight members are female wrestlers and fifteen are male wrestlers. Education level ranges from senior to freshman as varsity and junior varsity has not yet been decided. The wrestling team has three coaches as...

...Name: Zhihao J. Date: 03/23/2014 Class: HIST 119 Primary Source Analysis on The Salt Merchant’s Wife 1.) Bo Ju-Yi is one of the many famous poets in the Tang dynasty. He presents his poems in a variety of style. More specifically, he mostly addresses social and political issues that are unjust to ordinary people. In this particular poem, he addresses the issue of merchants gaining too much profits that the government can’t obtain enough taxes revenue. 2.) This poem expresses excessive richness of a merchant through a third person’s perspective --- his wife. By doing so, the merchant’s wealth is more emphasized here because not only can he live a luxury life but his wife also can. I personally believe that the narrator is the author Bo Ju-Yi because he is criticizing the way that merchants gain too much money and also challenges the social problem that a person can obtain wealth easily without working hard. 3a.) According to the basic ideas of the poem, the audiences might be intended to be the scholar officials who want to challenge the social problem that the merchants on the bottom of the social classes gain too much profits without any kinds of production while the educated scholar officials on the top of the social classes gain much less profit. The merchant’s wife is mentioned several times throughout the poem. She does absolutely nothing and yet is able to live a much better life than the scholar officials can thanks to her wealthy merchant husband. The contrast...

...Running head: WEEK THREE INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT 1 Popular Literature Paper SOC/105 October 10 2012 WEEK THREE INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT 2 The following paper will describe to the reader a brief overview, followed by a little bit about the author, and then explain how this type of popular fiction fits with other literature in the same genre. Comic books of yesterday and today have introduced a lot of new and interesting characters. The character that I selected to right about is the Incredible Hulk. The Incredible Hulk was introduced to the world in a comic book back in 1962. This character, Bruce Banner, was a scientist that was working with atomic weapons when an atomic bomb went off and exposed him to an enormous amount of gamma radiation. When he was exposed to the radiation, it turned him into a savage and extremely strong animal of a human being. Normally when Mr. Banner becomes enraged the Incredible Hulk is exposed and only when the Incredible Hulk calms down does he turn back into Bruce Banner. Although the Hulk's color has varied just a bit over the time that he has existed, the majority of the time he is the favorable and most popular green color. Whenever Bruce Banner turns into the Incredible Hulk, he is then capable of immense strength, minus the brains. Strong emotions such as anger, terror and grief are also triggers for...

...Armero, Rizzalyn M. BSACTECH I. Definitions 1. Condition is a future and uncertain event, upon the happening of which, the effectivity or extinguishment of an obligation (or right) subject to it depends. 2. Civil loss- when a thing disappears in such a way that its existence is unknown; or even if known, it cannot be recovered, whether as a matter of fact or of law. 3. Reciprocal obligations are those which arise from the same cause and in which each party is a debtor and creditor of the other, such that the performance of one is designed to be the equivalent and the condition for the performance of the other. 4. Pure obligation is one which is not subject to any condition and no specific date is mentioned for its fulfilment and is, therefore, immediately demandable. 5. Potestative condition- a condition suspensive in nature and which depends upon the sole will of one of the contracting parties. II. Discussions 1. Illustrate an obligation subject to: a. Suspensive condition- the fulfilment of which will give rise to an obligation (or right). In other words, the demandability of the obligation is suspended until the happening of the uncertain event which constitutes the condition. b. Resolutory condition- the fulfilment of which will extinguish an obligation (or right) already existing. What is the effect of the fulfilment of the condition in a conditional obligation? * Acquisition of rights * Loss of rights 2. If the...
