Controlling for this variable is critical as this study will need to establish if there are differences in the intervention (short-term counseling) results across race or ethnic membership. The experimental group will participate in short-term counseling sessions, as described earlier in this proposal (i.e., weekly one-hour sessions for six weeks). The counseling sessions will be conducted to two kinds of experimental group: first, novice criminals who are currently incarcerated, and second, male teenagers who have a history of committing criminal offenses. Names will be generated from the county or state's prison institution, to be randomly selected, but must be qualified given the initial criteria set. Data collection will be in the form of self-accomplished questionnaires before and after the short-term...
To ensure the authenticity of the respondents' answers and survey data, it will not be disclosed that what the study is testing or evaluating is the counseling session, but rather, the experience or threat of incarceration among male teenage offenders. Statistical data analysis to be used are correlational analysis to test for the strength of the relationship between variables identified, and significance testing to determine which relationships or variables are significant to each other or not. Limitations that will be considered for the study is the limited sample and scope of sample used in the experiment, since experiments are logistically challenging to prepare and conduct (given that the experiment itself will test for counseling sessions that will actually be conducted to respondents).
It is believed among these people that young girls form romantic attachments to water spirits. Before they are considered marriageable and allowed to receive mortal suitors, they must first free themselves from these attachments. This is accomplished by the coming together of the girls at the river on successive dawns to sing the songs they have learned. On the final day, the initiates return to the riverbank and the

Irving Howe points comments of Sam's role as a mentor as well as his place as the priest in the ceremony: "the boy's mentor, in the hunt and the acknowledged priest of the ceremony that could be held only in the forest" (William Faulkner: A Critical Study, 93). The symbolism of the characters and the events in Faulkner's short novel is
Rites of Passages of puberty followed by Eskimo and Australian Aborigines. The indigenous cultures of the past have always held a great regard for the traditional and superstitious.

Crossing to that desk, these artifacts seemed to say, required both submission and opposition, and both of them in extreme degrees.
