In the novel, The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, the author Toni Morrison uses the characters and their actions to portray social norms. Her writing challenges the very essence of what beauty is through the main characters Pecola, Cholly, Pauline Breedlove, Freida, Claudia, and Mrs.MacTeer.

The author uses the standards of beauty motif to demonstrate the concept that everyone is
4 Surprise Swate Student no: 2015153295 The Bluest Eyes. Beauty is equated with whiteness by the Western culture and this is portrayed in Toni Morrison’s novel The Bluest Eyes. Pecola and Pauline Breedlove are absented from existence by society’s notion that Caucasian features are the standard of beauty and the Breedlove women do not reach those standards.

In this paper, using a computer programming language, we determine the number of integer quadrilaterals that can be formed by using a stick of a given length, say n units, n being a positive integer and also given sum of any two opposite angles less than 180. Keywords: quadrilateral, area of a quadrilateral. INTRODUCTION Generally, one can form a quadrilateral by so many ways. In this paper, we form all possible quadrilaterals, for any such n [see 1,2]. First cut this stick at three places to form

After Osiris was murdered he was found by his wife Isis who was also pregnant at the time with their son. She restored her husband
As seen before, Thoth is prayed to for justice as found in the Eloquent Peasant, Horemheb’s Hymn to Thoth, and various other titles found in Egyptian mythology. One portion in the Hymn to Thoth lists his duties as a keeper of justice: “Let us give praise to Thoth, straight plummet in the scales, who repulses evil, who accepts him who leans not on crime. The vizier who settles cases, who changes turmoil to peace; the scribe of the mat who keeps the book, who punishes crime…” (Lichtheim 1976:2: 103)
The nature of heroism in “Judith” melds the heroic qualities of the pre-Christian Anglo Saxons and the Judeo-Christian heroic qualities. The Anglo Saxon qualities are the skills in battle, bravery, and strong bonds between a chieftain and the thanes. This social bond requires, on the part of the leader, the ability to inspire, and form workable relationships with subordinates. These qualities, while seen obviously in the heroine and her people, may definitely be contrasted by the notable absence

Thoughts of Romeo and Juliet and Twelfth Night There is nothing either good nor bad, but thinking makes it so (Shakespeare). Romeo and Juliet written by Shakespeare is far superior to one of his other plays, Twelfth Night. Due to the superiority of the themes, plot, and symbolism in Romeo and Juliet there is no doubt that Twelfth Night is inferior to Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet is about two young lovers who created “love at first sight” with each other due to romantic issues at the time.
