distance himself from the war. At first, their declarations of love are transparent: Catherine reminds Henry several times that their courtship is a game, sending him away when she has played her fill. After Henry is wounded, however, his desire for Catherine and the comfort and support that she offers becomes more than a distraction from the world's unpleasantness; his love begins to sustain him and blossoms into something undeniably real. Catherine's feelings for Henry follow a similar course. While the couple acts in ways that confirm the genuine nature of their passion, however, they never escape the temptation of dreaming of a better world. In other words, the boundary between reality and illusion proves difficult to identify. After Henry and Catherine have spent months of isolation in Switzerland, Hemingway depicts their relationship as a mixture of reality and illusion. Boredom has

Things change dramatically after the second world war. Eugene O'Neill had been a genius but it was onyl for a brief period that American Drama became the best drama in the world. The traditional combining realism and modernism continued and american playwriters used this to enrich eachother. The two greatest playwriters who emerged were Tennesee Williams and Arthur Miller. They brought new life into American Drama. On of the methods can be called subjective realism. The aesthetic framework is undeniably realistic. They borrow freely the techniques of expressionism to represent the characters subjective experience. The individual was a alienated person, who had the feeling of not belonging to any group. Usually the character is a lonely person, separated from society and other people. Williams's and miller's plays take the alienation of modern man as their basic theme. Tennessee William began his career in broadway, ,,The Glass Menagerie". Glass animal
or "Pittsburgh's most famous philosopher," or "The inventor of the `Theory' theory of mental terms," or "The man on whose paper I had to comment at the Tenth Chapel Hill Colloquium in 1976," not forgetting "The visiting philosopher with whom I had a fairly violent argument in George Pappas' living room in 1979." I need have had none of these in particular (even tacitly) in mind when I unreflectively uttered (5). Objection 2 Undeniably, different people know different things about other people. In some cases X's knowledge about Z and Y's knowledge about Z may not even overlap. Assuming that the descriptions with which names are supposed to be synonymous are in speakers' minds as revealed by the spot-check test, it follows from the Name Claim that the same name will have (many) different senses for different people; every name is multiply and unfathomably ambigu- ous
that an act has occurred. Once a prisoner wrote what the Chinese wanted, it was _ Chapter 3 COMMITMENT AND CONSISTENCY very difficult for him to believe that he had not done so. The opportunities to for- get or to deny to himself what he had done were not available, as they were for purely verbal statements. No; there it was in his own handwriting, an irrevocably documented act driving him to make his beliefs and his self-image consistent with what he had undeniably done. Second, a written testament can be shown to other people. Of course, that means it can be used to persuade those people. It can per- suade them to change their own attitudes in the direction of the statement. More importantly for the purpose of commitment, it can persuade them that the author genuinely believes what was written. People have a natural tendency to think that a statement reflects the true atti- tude of the person who made it (Gawronski, 2003)
nowhere near the site of pain. His spotting ability was incredible. One world-class powerlifter who'd visited Buhler shared an anecdote from his rst visit: "He hadn't even touched me and he announced that I had weak quads. I responded back with `Weak quads?! I deadlift 900 pounds!' to which Craig just shrugged and went to work." The lifter later reviewed slow-motion footage of his pulling technique in competition and realized that, undeniably, his technique clearly indicated he was straightening his legs quickly to compensate for weak quadriceps. Time spent with Dr. Two Fingers added up. Fifty dollars per muscle reactivated means that function doesn't come cheap. I had a total of four sessions and covered more than 50 muscles. I couldn't accept all of his supplemental programs, but I knew that exploring the fringes required casting a wide net. To nd the few things that worked, it was sometimes necessary to
