... which is evident when she is readily accepted by Orsino, whereas, in her female identity she would not be. Thus, a customary role in society and to the outlooks of others is portrayed.

1984, George Orwell

... avoids revolt by using an interesting technique--not giving its citizens a reason to revolt. If the Party promises, for example, that there will be no reduction of chocolate rations and there does happen to be a reduction, they simply go back and change their original statement. This meaning they rewrite any newspaper articles, etc. that give evidence that they said there would be a reduction, and destroy all of the old copies. In this way, the Party’s predictions are always true. So our good old friend Winston is sitting in his o ...

Persuasive Speaking

... great attention getter, if you use it right. If you walk to the front of a class and quietly ask for some attention, odds are no one will even notice you. If you walk up in front of a class and scream "EVERYONE SHUT-UP!", you'll probably notice a slight difference in how much attention you'll get. Though, screaming may get you some attention for the moment, no one likes to be yelled at and they will eventually lose interest in what you are talking about and continue with whatever they were doing before you interrupted them.

When he enters the tent, Haze observes the body of an obese naked woman squirming in a casket lined with black cloth. He leaves the scene quickly. This first bout with sexuality was certainly a grotesque one, and one which, perhaps, helped fortify his resolve not to experiment with sex for years to come.
