When Bertrande went on to sue Arnaud, he discouraged Bertrande to bringing the lawsuit against the rogue imposter as he was convinced that the man Bertrande was accusing was the real Martin. His evidence was that the stranger is Martin and refers to Bertrande’s illness as her “madness” . Bertrande also questioned Martins younger sister about how the new Martin did not resemble his father “in action or in feature” and told the sister that she did not believe this man to be the actual Martin. The sister replied incredulously, “how could you even think so?’. She informed Bertrande to never speak of it again “or to anyone”.
My heart had sunk to the deepest part of the world. I felt as if he had left me in the world alone. His funeral was on a Friday that he was supposed to pick my sister and I up for McDonalds.

Tobar explains, “The trial attorney he eventually assigned to the case would likely protest his inability to lift The People v. Araceli N. Ramirez over the low bar of proof required for a successful preliminary hearing” (334). Araceli’s case could not be taken to a higher court level, because of the lack of evidence.

She would then be swiftly deported, as were the legions of other foregin nationals without papers who landed there” (334). Even though Araceli was charged with a misdemeanor, she was not completely let off the hook.
These two characters are often involved in the same conflicts, but are totally unaligned in how they behave as a result. The legal conflict which Nader faces over the death of Razieh’s foetus makes him invest in the idea of clearing his name through the courts. In contrast, Simin fears for Termeh’s safety, and for what the courts might find, and encourages Nader to pay the blood money. For him, paying the blood money is admitting fault, and his pride drives him to refuse. For Simin, bringing an end to the conflict promptly is more important than fighting for truth or fairness.
However, when it seemed unlikely that Catherine would be able to produce a male heir for Henry, he wanted a divorce. He knew that only the Pope would be able to get him a divorce from Catherine, and, when he sent Thomas Wolsey, his minister, to ask the Pope, the Pope found himself in a tricky position. He did not want to upset Henry but he did not want to anger Catherine’s nephew, Charles V, who was against the divorce. So, he sat back and did nothing. Does Mary I deserve the title of Bloody Mary?
Rudis Rodriguez Professor Scala English 101 11/15/2012 Soldier’s Home Many of us have gone through some form of withdrawal. Whether it be from an unpleasant event(s) or memories, we usually just want to avoid whatever it is. Ernest Hemingway’s Soldier’s Home is a story about a young Soldier who returns to Oklahoma from World War I as a different person and has to deal with the post traumatic stress caused by an experience he had during the war. A central idea of Soldier’s Home is “Heart break”. This idea is very well supported when Harold Krebs sits on his porch and say negative comments on all of the girls walking by.
My husband is not and will never be like that and because of this, I am regretting my thievery immediately for I fear that he will use the handkerchief to destroy the amorous bond my Lady and Othello has developed. I can only hope that whatever Iago has planned, will not harm the people I have come to care
• Deletion/omission: Although in some cases in this text, the females possess power over male, it is somewhat hidden from view. For example, the author mentions at one place, “The wives demanded that he throw her out.” Here the wives of Jalil demanded him to throw Nana out of their house, which Jalil obliged to. From this example, it can be inferred that his wives had power over him but, the writer neither highlights this nor describes the behaviour or the character of the wives, thus making an omission, in order to background this piece of information so that the readers would not be able to see the true
