Unending Love A mother's love is unconditional and everlasting. In Robert Harling's play Steel Magnolias, Harling shows how the mother daughter relationship that M'lynn and Shelby share is the strongest relationship in the play.

Life's like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters-Lucius Annaeus Seneca Many of us have heard the sayings such as: a new chapter in my life, that’s your cue, brake a leg.

Robert Harling’s Steel Magnolias use the idea that even through struggles their characters show that love always endures. Although loving someone, who is not particularly loveable, is one of the most difficult parts of being human, it is possible by remembering that addictions can be reversed, blood is forever, and a ring is more than just an object. Loving someone with an addiction can be overwhelming, but the person underneath the obsession is still the person he or
still wage differences, occupational restrictions, and social expectations that men do not have. Two movies I feel display feminism through friendship are Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes. Although Fried Green Tomatoes has an engaging plot, Steel Magnolias has incredible chemistry between characters, as well as witty dialogue.

A Little Piece of Heaven Teacher's Comment: This essay, which received an "A," is strong because the vivid and careful descriptions enliven a commonplace topic: a simple walk in the woods. The writer creates an effective persona though a flashback to "a corner of captured memories." The writer recreates the child's persona, questioning and then understanding the motives of the counselor who is leading the group. Whenever I am troubled or confused, I always plunder through my mind to a corner

Each of these classes have different properties but in comparison with Steel which also has its grades ranging from low to high grade carbon steel which are just alloys of purified iron with carbon and hints of other metal elements such as Manganese and Nickel so the production of Steel products differs only slightly from the commercial production of Iron. Steel which is the easily formed, cheap and yet strong and tough allowing for it to be extremely versatile creating
advancement is unsustainable. We are severely abusing resources, generating pollution and making species extinct. One cannot stress enough the need for development at a sustainable level. I also intend to explain the physical and material properties of steel, the process of its production and how sustainable it is in construction of structures.

Maraging steels of different compositions have been prepared by means of induction furnace electro slag remelting technique using titanium and chromium instead of cobalt which is a high expensive strategic element, also nickel content was reduced to 10-13%. Mass attenuation coefficients, half value layers and effective atomic numbers have been determined for the prepared samples at photon energies 238, 583, 661, 911, 1173, 1332 and 2614keV. The results are compared with the corresponding theoretical
