I will tell you the name and the author of the book and who the main characters are in this paragraph. Robert James Waller wrote the book, The Bridge of Madison County. There are two main characters in the book. One of the main character?s names is Robert Kincaid and the other is Francesca Johnson. In this paragraph I will tell you about Robert Kincaid and a little about his personality. Robert was a photographer for National Geographic and sometimes just for himself. He photographed in the outdoors. He thought that courage and strength was a big part of human life (nature.) He didn?t think that computers and robots are something big. He said, ?there were things we could do, were designed to do, that nobody or no machine could do. We run fast are strong and quick, aggressive and tough. We were given courage. We can throw spears long distances and fight in hand-to-hand combat. Eventually, computers and robots will run things. Humans will manage those machines, but that doesn?t require courage or strength, or any characteristics like those. In fact, men are outliving their usefulness?? (100, 101 Waller) I really think that what he said is right. I think that by that he means that soon people will just forget what they are here in the world for and what work is.
Everyone will become lazy. If everyone becomes lazy than ones everything is dead or you have to do something by hand no one will want to do it. Robert calls himself one of the last cowboys. Cowboys are usually old fashion type and not too civilized. That?s what Robert is. In this paragraph I will tell you about Fracesca Johnson a little about her personality. She was a farmwife. She lived on the farm and didn?t work. One day, in the summer, she came out on her porch and was drinking iced tea. She was very exhausted from all her work. All of a sudden a truck drives by. And a man, who was Robert Kincaid, asked her for directions to one of the bridges that he was supposed to photograph. She offered him some iced tea and told him that she can go with him and show him if he doesn?t mind. He said yes. After showing him the bridge she asked him for dinner. Ones more he said yes. After a while she fell in love with him. Since her husband and children were away she stayed with him for the time. A lot of things happened in between. He even asked her to travel around with him. She wanted to, but she couldn?t. She said, ?Yes, it?s boring in its way. My life, that is. It lacks romance, eroticism, dancing in the kitchen to candlelight, and the wonderful feel of a man who knows how to love a woman.
The Review on Of Mice And Men Film And Book Contrast

In particular, I will examine the way Gary Sinise and John Steinbeck saw the tragedy and the relationships between George and Lennie, pointing out the differences of the accents set in the film ...
Most of all, it lacks you. But there?s this damn sense of responsibility I have. To Richard (her husband, not mentioned previously), to the children. Just my leaving, taking away my physical presence would be hard enough for Richard. That alone might destroy him. On top of that, and this is even worse, he would have to live the rest of his life with the whispers of the people here. ?That?s Richard Johnson. His hot little Italian wife ran off with some longhaired photographer a few years back.? Richard would have to suffer that, and the children would hear the snickering of Winterset (the town they lived in) for as long as they live here. They would suffer, too. And they would hate me for it. As much as I want you and want to be with you and part of you, I can?t tear myself away from the realness of my responsibilities?? The things that she said tells me a lot about her. I think that she is a truthful type person. She knows what her responsibilities are. She knows what?s best very well. She is very loving and caring about a lot of people and especially about her own children. She is basically picturing the future. I like that she pictures the future and thinks a lot especially before acting.
In general I think that she is a good person and if I would have a chance to become her friend I would. In this paragraph I will tell you the theme or most important part of the story. Michael and Carolyn were Francesca?s and Richard?s children. After their parent?s past away they wanted someone to write a book about them. The story starts like this. First, Michael and Carolyn get together with the writer and tell him things about their parents and where he could get more information on them. Then the book starts, as the writer is writing it by telling about Francesca, (Richard) and Robert. The book doesn?t tell much about Richard at all. It just tells that he left for a while with the children to a fair in Illinois and that it was boring for Francesca with him. Richard also is her second husband from Canada and from the army. The main part of the story is when Francesca dies. Before she died she wrote a letter to her children, Michael and Carolyn, telling her about the affair with Robert and why she didn?t leave them. She also told them that she wants to be criminated near the bridge because Robert was criminated and his ashes were scattered there too. One day before Francesca died a package came to her. In there was a letter from Robert and the attorney, his chain with the engraving ?Francesca?, and his silver bracelet. From that day on she never took the chain and the bracelet off. She told them that she kept journals throughout her life and the journals were based on Robert and her, for them to be able to find out more about them they should read the journals (3 volumes).
The Essay on Banned Books Government Children Parents

S. and around the world are challenged. Some of the challenged books are banned, some aren't. Many were banned for decades from the U. S. mails under the Comstock Law of 1873.

They found out why their mother didn?t leave them even though she loved him a lot (as much as she loved her own children, hence she was with him only for a about 5 days) and they were very grateful for that in return by writing a book about them. This was the main part of the story and how the book evolved. ?The military asked him back in 1943. He went with the marines and slogged his way up South Pacific Beaches, cameras swinging from his shoulders, lying on his back, photographing the men coming off amphibious landing craft. He saw the terror ion their faces, felt it himself. Saw them cut in two by machine-gun fire saw them plead to God and their mothers for help. He got it all, survived, and never became hooked on the so called glory and romance of war photography.? (13, 14 Waller) I noticed that a lot of books and movies about war or the army have soldiers pleading for their mothers and I saw a movie, G. I. Jane, that reminded me of this whole paragraph. ?Robert Kincaid pulled a pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket, shook one halfway out, and offered it to her. For the second time in five minutes, she surprised herself and took the cigarette. What am I doing? she thought.

She had smoked years ago but gave it up under the steady thump of criticism from Richard. He shook out another one, put it between his lips, and flicked a gold Zippo lighter into flame, holding it toward her while he kept his eyes on the road.? (33, Waller) I was surprised to see her take the cigarette after it was so hard to quit smoking. ?Quiet? Could something smell quiet?? She was thinking about the phrase, asking herself. He was right. After the pork chops and steaks and roasts she cooked for the family, this was quiet cooking. No violence involved anywhere down the food chain except maybe for pulling up the vegetables. The (vegetable) stew cooked quietly and smelled quiet. It was quiet here in the kitchen.? (54, Waller) At first I was wondering what the book meant by ?quiet cooking (or smell)? and now I understood what it meant. It means that everything was just how Francesca liked it before (she doesn?t like meat that much).
?Dust flying, Camel lit, truck bouncing, past the white frame house facing north, past Richard Johnson?s mailbox. No sign of her. What did you expect? She?s married, doing okay. You?re doing okay. Who needs those kinds of complications? Nice evening, nice supper, nice woman. Leave it at that. God, she?s lovely, though, and there?s something about her. Something, I have trouble taking my eyes away from her.? (74, Waller) I can really understand why he can?t take his eyes off of her. It?s just like getting a new pair of shoes and you get this strong feeling that you must get them. ?He brought in the cooler first, lifted out a beer for her, and opened it, while she found two tall glasses that would serve as mugs. When he went back to the truck for the cameras, she took her beer and went upstairs, noted that he had cleaned the tub, and then ran a high, warm bath for herself, settling in with her glass on the floor beside her while she shaved and soaped. He had been here just a few minutes before; she was lying where the water had run down his body, and she found that intensely erotic. Almost everything about Robert Kincaid had begun to seem erotic to her.? (89, Waller) I began to think that by the way they talk about each other is very intense both of them seem to like each other a lot.
The Essay on Robert Frost’s “Out, Out”
Robert Frost’s poem, “Out, Out,” appears to be solidly grounded in reality, negating the need for delving further into its meaning; however, by doing so, it is possible to extract additional themes and interpretations. Frost used a real life event as direct inspiration for this poem and his word choice reflects his own background as he builds multiple possible analyses of the work. The ...
?We?re giving up free range, getting organized, feathering our emotions. Efficiency and effectiveness and all those other pieces of intellectual artifice. And with the loss of free range, the cowboy disappears, along with the mountain lion and gray wolf. There?s not much room left for travelers, I?m one of the last cowboys. My job gives me free range of a sort. As much as you can find nowadays. I?m not sad about it. Maybe a little wistful, I guess. But it?s got to happen; it?s the only way we?ll keep from destroying ourselves. (101, Waller) I noticed that he really cares about the environment. He wants everything to be saved. The nature and old parts of the world. He doesn?t want technology be the only one that exists. ?`Sure is good to be home.? Then looking at her, ?you okay, Frannie? You seem a little tired or dreamy or something?.? ?Yes, I?m just fine, Richard. It?s good to have you back safe and sound.? ?Well, I?m turnin? in; it?s been a long week at the fair, and I?m bushed. You comin?, Frannie?? ?Not for a little bit, It?s kind of nice out here, so I think I?ll just sit awhile.? She was tired, but she was afraid Richard might have sex in mind. She just couldn?t handle that tonight.?? (121, Warren) I can?t believe that she actually thought that he might have sex in mind. Earlier in the book it said that Richard wasn?t that type of a person. I understand why she didn?t want to go. First of all, she didn?t get over Robert yet (she never did).
Second of all, she probably won?t feel comfortable doing it with him the first night after Robert. ?I think its time for me to get my affairs in order (as they say)?After looking through the safe deposit box and finding the large manila envelope addressed to me with a 1965 postmark, I?m sure you?ll eventually come to this letter. If possible, please sit at the old kitchen table to read it. You?ll understand that request shortly? (150, Warren) I realized that she really wasn?t scared to tell them that and as long as they know everything will be all right. Like I said earlier, I think that she is a very truthful person. (This is thought by the, ?Nighthawk? Cummings, his friend.) But, man, I?m haunted by that sory he told me about him and the woman. So, every Tuesday rnight I get out my horn, and I play that tune I wrote for him. I play it here, all by myself. And for some reason I always look at that picture he gave me while I play it. Somethin? about it, don?t know what it is, but I can?t take my eyes off that picture when play the tune. O kist stamd jere, apbit twilight, makin? that ol? horn weep, and I play that tune for a man named Robert Kincaid and woman he called Francesca. (170, Waller) I realized that the ?Nighthawk? was a real friend. He will never forget Robert.
The Essay on Analysis of the Play “A Man For All Seasons”
With the free will presented upon us, comes a great sense of responsibility to use it wisely. The choices we make are ultimately affected by an array of factors, such as religion, morals, upbringing, society, and environment, to name a few. However, the conscious effort to ignore any of these factors in order to make the uniformed choice would be a violation of one's free will and self-respect. In ...
