the classic, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" with Hepburn and Tracy (his last film) Sidney Poitier and Katherine Ross.\n\n"Ordinary People" with Mary Tyler Moore, Donald Sutherland--About a well-to-do family with two college aged sons.  One boy dies when they are both out in a sailboat.  How the mom silently blames the boy who's left (he plays kind of a slacker) and makes him feel like the wrong kid died (the brother was popular, into sports). That's a good one for discussion. Good luck!

In the novel, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens: he conveys and captures the growing anger, depression and desperation of the peasantry. Many repetitions, symbols and contrasts of  imagery,  bring surprise and wonder to the book and grab hold of the reader. These details are expressed in chapter five, throughout the wine casket scene.\nYou need to italicize the title of the book and come up with and ending. Also I have just cut out the extra verbage, but I think this reads better now. I am not sure about the semi colon after dickens name but if you end with a summary of the book in a sentence you will do great.

So many towns were remembered to be like Grover's Corners.  Life was at a slow pace; a gentler time; everyone knew everyone; everyone was involved with all events in the town; tragedy affected the entire community.  \nLook at the narrator's monologues.

how about concentrating on stories of the 'little people'.  ordinary, everyday folk who aren't famous or infamous, just folk doing what they know to do.  like a teacher, a baker, a grandmother, a street sweeper?   try to find beauty in the ordinaryness of life and tie it in with a faint reference to new york.  write your paper so that it is up to the reader to decide the 'value' of the life or dynamics of the person / place interface.  i think too many people are obsessed with ideas about ' dark', 'funniest', 'best', 'worst', . . . it is boring and meaningless.

Research and write about the effect Charles Dickens' novels had on British society. Many feel that his writing were like mirrors so the people could see what they were like.

I wondered the same thing.\n\nMy friend read the book and told me that he dies in an accident as his wife says in the movie. \n\nI think the movie leads you to believe otherwise though.

1-The earliest social effects were the loss of  jobs and the  scarisity of hard cash. A shortage of good folowed fast and even if you had the cash you were short of goods and scared to spend. The big guy sit down on the money and it went out of circulation fast. People lost homes, families, so many died, and suffered malnutrion due to simply no food. Parents saw children die of starvation, mothers and wives saw  husbands go the suicide route be cause he was helpless to feed his family.\nSchool for many came to a stand still., many school nationwide were closed,and millions of children went without education.\nMy grandparents pulled their corn and gave the griss mill half of it as payment for turning the rest into corn meal. They were oneof the lucky ones.\nMedicine and medical care suffered.\nFamilies split up and the great movement west started. Before the depression Georgia's population was much more  than that of California.  The promise of work in the produce fieldsand fruit grovesof California sent many people there to go humry  with out even shelter over their heads.\nMen left their homes, looking for work and started the great "hobo" rides to nowhere. This usually meant they left a wife and children at home of on the roads. with nothing. Transients were usually refused help in cities and forced from small towns where people protected what little they had left.\nAll of the  old films of the soup kitchens show the men who were fathers, husbands, sons ect  getting a bare meal to just survive past starvation so you can imagine what the women  left behind with children suffered. Many families were suffering. Most familes on the move left or were thrown off their farms with what ever they could carry. \nThe depression meant the beganning of the end of the small farm dominance in America, and the beganing of large corporations.  Homes and farms which had been in the family for generations even back to the revolution were taken for token taxes of a few dollars. many farms went under the tax mans auction for under 5 bucks.\n\n2-Radical groups (like Hitler did in Germany) gained support because they gave the poor, and displaced something to blame their troubles on. They had seemingly good answers to soemhard  questions. They found the scapegoat the public was looking for and usually they were right in that it was the rich guy. This is what gave such a rise to such ideologys as socialism,and communism.  The public had no jobs like in Germany/europe (and as  always plenty of beer or boose) and they had plenty of mad, upset, and hungry people with plenty of time on their hands to listen to them.&#92;\n\n3-I heard  my father talk of some folks on the road getting help from strangers. My grandfather told him of walking and asking people for work for food.While he mentiond many towns would force you out if you were not a native some (especially farm families) would share their last with you. There were new bonds formed, new friends made, and a better appreciation of life and everything material after the depression started. My father as a young boy remebers when things began to pick up and people began to hope again. \n\n4- When people went to the banks and found them closed all at once they did not under stand what happened. Every bank only keeps a percentage their value in money on hand.  The rest is on loan for proifit. when the news began to filter down those on the inside withdrew theirs leaving nothing. When people woke up with no job,and no money this signaled the end of the 20s. and it nearly happened over night  which is why so many people suffered so fast.\nLitterially no goods for consumers,and no funds to purchase what there was brought in the 30s. Government for the most part became non functional and allowed those who did have money and power to later control the country. People like the Kennedys began their wealth during this time and used the depression to do so. Prohibition saw the small farmers who manuf

rigor mortis, algor mortis, and i forget the other. they involve the loss of blood flow so the organs stop functioning and harden. also, muscles relax, such as the sphincter. yeah, i didn't know that until recently, either.

Well, we had an assignment that is like this one about the Scarlet Letter, there are a couple of themes in the story, Individual vs. Society, Nature vs. Society, and I think the other is individual vs. Self. According to my notes the Scarlet letter's themes are sin, knowledge, and the human condition. But anyways in the individual vs. society section there are three examples one is Society against Hester. (they dont like hester for sinning) the other is Society agains Pearl (people think that since Pearl is a sin born daughter she will also be a sinner) and lastly is Dimmsdale(Society thinks that he is a saint). Oh yeah another one could be society against Chillingworth (people think that he is bad and resembles the devil). FOr the nature vs. Society section you can say that there is a BIG difference between both since Dimmsdale acts one way with Pearl and Hester in the forest but another in the village.

"Night" by Elie Weisel, is an autobiographical holocaust novel. I'd rather not give away the storyline, but it runneth over with themes and ideas. Death, faith, memories and the past... \n\nAs far as effects are concerned, I'd say the book gave an increased awareness of the events during the holocaust. It adds a very emotional aspect to something many people have only read about in history books. \n\nBelow are some study guides for this book, in case they can guide your research.

When they lose the elasticity and their diameter is narrowed the blood flow to the organs dimnished.  So the tissue in the organs do not get proper blood supply.  High BP, Myocardial infarction ( heart atack), Stroke (Hemiplegia),etc  are the result.
