the king. Her unfaithfulness toward the gods was very non-heroic. In modern society, we today act in the same manner as Antigone did toward her family. Our loyalties toward family members tend to be strong, but even so, we may take our anger out on the people we love. In all heroic tales we usually can see ourselves in the situations of the heroic and non-heroic aspects of characters and relate to them wholeheartedly. It seems that the writers of old had a good grasp of the human condition, and it seems that their main goal was to make us realize who we really are.
Although majority of readers do openly embrace this deliverance, to reinstate its validity I would refer to aviation industry, known for continuous reissue of regulations upon the standards to which cockpit and other human-operable equipment should conform after any major accident where "human error" has been detected. They do recognize that the actual fault is with the machinery and that it should have been "designed for error" in the first place. "To err is human" Norman states, and I wholeheartedly agree. Norman, quite interestingly, goes as far as to absolve some designers of their sins, at least partially, demonstrating a great deal of common sense in doing so. The fault is often with the industry, with the society and with the unbending bureaucracy and inertia of the whole civilized mechanism - those are the reasons why feedback chain is virtually non-existent as new generations of product are already under development when the previous ones hit the shelves, people demanding new

is now presented to thy lips!"(Dimmesdale 47) things would have been infinitely better for everyone. Everyone Hester Prynne loves, she does in a hypocritical way. She loves Pearl enough to sacrifice to feed and clothe her, but she does not love Pearl enough to give her a father. Hester loves Dimmesdale, but she does not love him enough to expose his sin publicly, and she conceals her knowledge of Chillingworth. Either you love something wholeheartedly, or you don't. Hawthorne might have portrayed Hester in a more favorable light then the other characters, but still she should have to wear a scarlet H in addition to her A. The second character, Arthur Dimmesdale is the epitome of hypocrisy. Hawthorne intended his name to have symbolic meaning. Dimmesdale meaning dim or not very bright. Arthur might be bright in the areas of theology, but when it comes to hypocrisy, he is a fool
French or English accents with no trace of the heavy African accent. Most of us cannot converse with our children in our own languages because we had been taught to avoid our own languages. One of the first languages to become extinct is the Igbo language, spoken by more tha 40 million people in Nigeria. The Igbo are a group which has become an embodiment of a race without culture, history or language. This race embraced English so “wholeheartedly” that brothers, sisters, children, parents, friends, relations, born from the same backward village cannot even hold discussions in the Igbo language without the use of the English language. They are the first major group in Africa who have totally abandoned any semblance of having a culture or language, having abandoned the African culture to the English culture in a vain attempt to ape the English way of life.

" "It's Friday, hon, you've been out for a while." "Friday?" I was shocked. I tried to remember what day it had been when... but I didn't want to think about that. "They had to keep you sedated for a while, honey -- you've got a lot of injuries." "I know." I could feel them. "You're lucky Dr. Cullen was there. He's such a nice man... very young, though. And he looks more like a model than a doctor..." "You met Carlisle?" "And Edward's sister Alice. She's a lovely girl." "She is," I agreed wholeheartedly. She glanced over her shoulder at Edward, lying with his eyes closed in the chair. "You didn't tell me you had such good friends in Forks." I cringed, and then moaned. "What hurts?" she demanded anxiously, turning back to me. Edward's eyes flashed to my face. "It's fine," I assured them. "I just have to remember not to move." He lapsed back into his phony slumber. I took advantage of my mother's momentary distraction to keep the subject from returning to my less-than-candid behavior
adventure, the Special W o r l d of Act Two. T h e call has been heard, doubts and fears have been expressed and allayed, and all due preparations have been made. But the real movement, the most critical action of Act One, still remains. C r o s s i n g t h e F i r s t T h r e s h o l d is an act o f the will in which the hero commits wholeheartedly to the adventure. The ranks of the Seekers are thinner now. Some of us have dropped out, but the final few are ready to cross the threshold and truly begin the adventure. The problems of the Home Tribe are clear to everyone, and desperate — something must be done, now! Ready or not, we lope out of the village leaving all things familiar behind. As you pull away you feel the jerk of the invisible threads that bind you to your loved ones
