“A Rose For Emily”: Changing Of Values And Attitudes In Southern Society
.... for its use even though the druggist explained to her that the explanation was required by law. When an unbearable stench emanated from her property, the men sprinkled lime around the property to contain the smell but asked no questions out of respect for Miss Emily. The people of the town “knew that there was one room in that region above the stairs” that most likely held a tragic secret. Out of respect for who she was or who she had been, the secret was allowed to be hidden until she was “decently in the ground”.
Allowances were made for Miss Emily that were not made for ordinary people. Only a community of “Co .....

The Island Of Doctor Moreau: Could It Be?
.... I had ever thought about going back to the island and I said no. I guess her curiosity had gotten the best of her because she said she thought that we should try to go back to the island to see what had become of it. I told her there was no way of knowing its location. She suggested that since we knew where I was found drifting in that small boat and how long I was adrift that maybe we could find someone that could help us locate the island.
About 2 years after meeting Catherine we got engaged and a year later married. We live in a Dutch Colonial home in the country off the coast of Brazil. We have now been married for two years .....

The Catcher In The Rye: True Picture Of Human Behavior
.... speak of things that annoy them to the actual person that is annoying them. That might be the reason for the guys not telling Ackley about his problem, but you have to draw the line somewhere.
J. D. Salinger’s choice of language puts great emphasis on the way the character, Holden, feels about certain issues or people. An example of this choice of language is shown on page 28 when Holden says, “That’s something else that gives me a royal pain.” This shows that Holden has great disregard about the whole topic or situation. The author also uses a great deal of curse words. This is shown on page 28 when J. D. Salinger writes, “That s .....

The Themes In Of Mice And Men
.... best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley.” Their dream seemed it would become a success until a tragic event brought failure.
The novel brings about the question of whether or not human life has a purpose. The reader may ask himself if a person’s purpose in life is only to kill and be killed. One may question if Lennie’s character had a purpose in life. Some may say that because of Lennie’s inadequacies and inability to survive that he had no purpose in life. On the other hand, many believe that God put every one of his children on this Earth to work out his master plan. God had a purpose for Lennie, and this is s .....

Drinking: A Love Story - A Review
.... friends, continued to drink once they got there to keep the mood light and conversation interesting, was always up for one more round, and was always the last to leave. If she was physically able she would drink alone when she got home, until she hit the point of passing out. More times than not she wouldn’t remember the end of the time spent at the bar or even the drive home, much less what she drank when she returned home. She would wake up in fog not knowing what had happened over the last few hours of the night. Sometimes she wouldn’t wake up alone and panicked before turing over to see who was lying next to her, not havi .....

The Photographs Of Margaret Bourke-White: A Review
.... some grand view photographs, including lots of detailed subjects. I like to develop the pictures in black and white because it looks neat. White also does a good job of shooting pattern samples. I would also like to try and take more pattern samples.
Two photographs that I enjoy are of an old man and a house in India. The first picture is titled, Too Weak to Stand, India, 1946. Under it states, “ When the rains come late, famine follows quickly in undernourished India. After the rice goes, even leaves and weeds become edible.” I love this picture because it shows so much detail, poverty and emotion. I think one of the main reasons .....

Of Mice And Men: Loneliness Of Lennie, Candy, And Curley's Wife
.... In being lonely, Lennie wants to be with other people just for the sake of not being by himself. In the novel, this is shown when Lennie visits Crooks and when he allows himself to talk with Curley's Wife. Talking with Curley's Wife caused Lennie to accidentally kill her and therefore Lennie's loneliness eventually leads to him getting into so much trouble that everyone around the ranch wants to have him lynched. For Lennie, loneliness is a very bad thing.
I believe that another character from "Of Mice and Men" who is lonely is the old swamper Candy. Candy is a man who is getting too old and useless to accomplish any .....

Character Symbolization In Lord Of The Flies
.... such as the breaking of his eye glasses, and the loss of the boys' faith in him. Piggy's character is used to show how even the best solution to a problem can easily be overlooked because of the lack of respect, pre-established prejudices, and the lack of mature thinking processes.
Jack Merridew's role is to show the transition from the opposite perspective. Jack first appears in the novel leading his choir in a strictly organized fashion. He is the symbol of discipline. Then, for some reason, he becomes gradually obsessed with the killing of pigs, stealing from the other boys, and fighting the 'beast'. The most substantial poi .....
