The mist hung around the city clinging to the skyscrapers desperately trying to fight the sun in what would be a loosing battle. Videl sat on a stage in the center of the town, City Hall behind her a roaring crowd in front her. Today the world's attention would be focused on her. This is to much. She knew making this announcement would be widely publicized but the streets were filled with people and cameras were flashing from all sides, nearly half of the police department was on standby ready to preform crowd control. Reporters spouted off into a camera, smiles always on their face no matter the filth they were feeding their audience. This should not be like this I am not the head of the Free City League after all. She was seated beside her father, Hercule Satan, the Hero who saved the world. The mayor was in attendance as well as all of the delegates from from the League including the Head himself. She sighed noticing that one of the mayor's attendants gave her the okay. She stood her legs shaking a bit sweat began to form on her forehead. Get a hold of yourself Videl, you've been shot at for God's sake you can handle this. She approached the Lectern her fist clenched tight to hide the anxiety she felt at this moment. I have got to be confident. She adjusted the microphone and begun to speak. –--- Gohan stood brushing his teeth his television turned up so he could here the speech. Apparently Videl Satan, daughter of Hercule, was going to deliver an important message. Gohan kept up with world events and recently a treaty was signed between the League and South City incorporating South City as its fifth member. Now only East City remained independent and it would probably stay since its allied with Ox Kingdom pr... ... middle of paper ... ...idel said with a weak smile. “Thank you. Who would of thought, we would reverse rolls after all these years of me helping you while you cry.” “ Well it was bound to happen sometime. After all you are no experts on guys, but you helped me anyway. Just like I am no expert on whatever this would be classified as, maybe kickass police girl tragedy.” Videl chuckled. “I'll have to think a better title later, but I will do my best to help you, in this Crime fighter screw job... no that doesn't work either I really should work on being more clever.” “Probably.” Videl said smiling wiping her eyes, pushed herself up off the bed. “Alrighty let's go see what your father wants of me.” She smiled for the sake of her friend, and the tears stayed bay. She knew the despair was still their but maybe just for a little while she could fight and keep it from consuming her. –--
Title IX Great inequalities in the educational system between the sexes have occurred for many years and still occur today. Efforts have been made to rectify this disparity, but the one that has made the most difference is Title IX. Passed in 1972, Title IX attempted to correct the gender discrimination in educational systems receiving public funding. The greatest correction it made was in the area of athletics, but social justice of Title IX applies to many other areas as well. Title IX has
the Bear". These revealing titles effectively foreshadow the plot and character conflicts that occur in their stories. Birds are a class of vertebrates that live in nature. Most of them are characterized by an ability to fly, free to roam the sky. They are not meant to live in captivity. Therefore, the short story entitled "A Bird in the House" suggests a theme of entrapment and a struggle for freedom, a topic that resonates throughout the novel. Vanessa is one character who experiences a
1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The importance of Magazines: Magazines are a major source of communication and entertainment in Australia today. Any newsagent will have racks showing hundreds of different titles. Magazines cater for special interests and give more recent information than books. They usually have interesting pictures and graphics making them easier to read. Because they are popular, they make good profits for publishers, through sales, advertising and market links. 1.2 Aim of this
allegory and symbolism contradict each other (Diehl 18, 19). Dickinson did not name most of her poems. She named twenty-four of her poems, of which twenty-one of the poems were sent to friends. She set off other people’s poetry titles with quotation marks, but only capitalized the first word in her titles. Many critics believe she did not title most of her poetry because she was not planning on publishing her work. As Socrates said, “the knowledge of things is not devised from names… no man would
MY BROTHER JACK 1.There are numerous reasons why this novel is titled My brother Jack. The title My Brother Jack deludes the reader in thinking the novel is based on Jack, yet we find that the prevailing concern is not ‘My Brother Jack’ at all. The title suggests a rewriting of Jack’s life. The novel is also called My Brother Jack because of the fact that the author George Johnston, portrayed as David had a brother named Jack, with whom he shared a good relationship with and was
play's title The title of the play, Ah, Wilderness, by Eugene O'Neill, plays a significant role in the understanding of the play. The "wilderness" is used as a metaphor for the period in a male's life when he is no longer a boy, but not yet a man. This play tells the story of the coming-of-age of Richard, and the evolution he undergoes while becoming a man. The "wilderness" used in the title is a metaphor for the years between childhood and manhood. Life, for a man, is like the woods. When one is a
James Joyce, a most prestigious author of many titles, has incorporated into his works many different thoughts, life experiences, as well as themes. Those three things that he used in his works I believe are what made him the awesome author he is today. The main focus of this paper is to inform you of the themes that reoccur in many of his short stories. Some themes that I noticed were: family, frustration, dreams of escape, love infatuations, and finally, sin. Family is a strong theme in Joyce’s
driving and obvious force behind the happenings of the tragedy. They mold the characters into what they are. Even when things do not end up in their favor. The witches have an impact on the whole theme of the play. They are the ones who start to label Macbeth with titles, which he does not yet posses. The witches predict the future, which is to Macbeth’s liking. “All hail Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis. All hail Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor. All hail Macbeth, that’s shalt be king
Like Thomas Hobbes, John Locke discusses the idea of the commonwealth, or as he more frequently titles it political or civil society. Locke believes that man is born with a title to perfect freedom. This concept of freedom is a power given by the law of Nature to man for the preservation of, “his property, that is, his life, liberty and estate, against the injuries and attempts of other men”(Locke 350). Man is thus given the power to judge and punish those who have infringed upon his rights. Wherever
Albert Chinualumogu Achebe was born on November 16, 1930 to Isaiah Okafo and Janet Achebe in the very unstable country of Ogidi, Nigeria. He was exposed to missionaries early in his childhood because Ogidi was one of the first missionary centers established in Eastern Nigeria and his father was an evangelist. Yet it was not until he began to study at the University of Ibadan that Achebe discovered what he himself wanted to do. He had grown apalled to the "superficial picture" of Nigeria that
ambivalent and accidental"1 since his debut as a photojournalist. Amplified and enriched, the work of the photographer is revealed in all its grandeur. While he may appear to "be a hurried man or a traveler without luggage"2, to quote a few of his titles, he is a poet, attentive to the act of love made with each photograph, and this is where the genius is revealed. From a desired distance, we discover simultaneously the geographer, who analyses the permanence or vulnerability of cultures; the ethnographer
Should Elian Gonzalez go back to Cuba or stay in the United States? This seems to be the question drenching the media on a constant bases. Every newspaper, news broadcast, and magazine seem to have a story about Elian. Titles like “Elian’s Grandmothers are coming to the US”, seems kind of silly if you read the headline literally. I don’t mean to be cold but why do we care if Elian’s grandmother is coming to the US? Thousands of grandmas have come to the US everyday, but we don’t hear about them
horrified. Aslan is clearly the God' of Narnia, keeping with Lewis's devout Christianity. Also, in the book, Aslan dies for Edmunds sins, but is resurrected. Many of Lewis's other books encouraged people to convert to Christianity (see specific titles earlier in project), so this book makes me think he might have been trying to sell' the story of Jesus' resurrection to children. Making the figure of Jesus is easier when using a Lion as opposed to a man. If it was between a man and a lion I think
SWOT analysis of the English National Opera STRENGTHS The product is definite. Although there are many different titles of shows and ways of performing Opera, on the whole the customer knows, when attending a performance, what to expect. Accessibility is improving. Through recent more widespread distribution of Videos/DVDs and CDs – in well known music stores. Also through Touring and Open-air Opera and to some extent educational workshops and talks, the English National Opera (ENO) has improved
Title Acceptation of The Crucible "A vessel of a very refractory material used for melting and calcining a substance that requires a high degree of heat." "A severe test." "A place or situation in which concentrated forces interact to cause or influence change or development." All of these definitions lead up to one word. Crucible. Author Miller incorporates this word in his play, The Crucible. The aforementioned definitions play a large part in The Crucible's symbolism, characters, and plot. "A
