physician, dies as the result of a botched abortion. Art Lee, a Chinese

death. Though Lee is known to be an abortionist, he vehemently denies any
involvement in the case. Lee calls upon his friend, forensic pathologist

Accounts Settled: A Review
.... The climax is when Gordon quickly reaches for his gun and shoots
the cougar. The resolution is when Gordon "cries the final tears of his
boyhood" and he is finally a man.
This writer used suspense in his story many times. For instance,
"his eyes held the boy unwinkingly as he waited in the fiendish way of cats
for the moment when the man must stir, or make an attempt to escape, the
moment when his ingrained fear of man would be swallowed up by the rising
tide of his blood-lust" and "moments passed, horrible heart-thudding
moments, during which neither man nor animal stirred". Another method that
the writer us .....

A Summary Of A Christmas Carol
.... than he…
Nobody ever stopped in the street to say, with gladsome looks, ‘My dear
Scrooge, how are you? When will you come to see me?'. No beggars implored
him to bestow a trifle, no children asked him what it was o'clock, no man
or woman ever once in all his life inquired the way to such and such a
place, of Scrooge." (Dickens 14).
Next there is Tiny Tim, he seems to be a symbol of hope in this story
even though he has to use a crutch to walk and he is very small. Despite
his disability, he constantly keeps the spirit up and tries to maintain it
in all his brothers, sisters, and parents, even though they are poor. He is

Universial Themes In "The Return Of The Native" And "Great Expectations"
.... here, and I was afeard, and I went back; but I didn't
like to speak to her, because of the gentleman, and I came on here again”
[Johnny Nunsuch]
“ A gentleman--ah! What did she say to him, my man?” [Diggory Venn]
“Told him she supposed he had not married the other woman because he liked
his old sweetheart best; and things like that” [Johnny Nunsuch]
[Book First, chapter 8, pp. 82]
This chance exchange reveals that Wildeve is meeting with Eustacia. Venn
uses this to his advance by announcing himself to Mrs. Yeobright as a
suitor for Thomasin. This backfires because Mrs. Yeobright tries to use the
second suitor to force .....

Hemingway's "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" And His Life
.... injuries from the war, Hemingway returned unhappily
to Oak Park. The impression left on him by his participation in the war
had greatly changed him. He began living at home again but refused to get
a job, even when his mother ordered him to. Soon she kicked him out and he

working as a sparring partner for boxers. While he was in Chicago he met
his first wife, the young and innocent Elizabeth Hadley Richardson.
Soon the young couple were married and they moved to Paris. It was
here where Hemingway encountered many of the greats, F. Scott Fitzgeral .....

As I Lay Dying: Styles Used By William Faulkner
.... and it is Anse who is lazy. Furthering on Jewel and Anse's
relationship, I feel that it is fairly evident that Jewel knows that Anse
is not his father. This is illustrated in the following section on page
136: "Jewel looked at Pa, his eyes paler than ever. 'He won't never eat a
mouthful of yours' he said. 'Not a mouthful. I'll kill him first. Don't you
never think it. Don't you never.' "The antagonism Jewel holds toward Anse
is enormous, and this scene intensifies it showing that Jewel knows the
truth or at least has a fair idea. We also see that Darl knows, and how he
knows. At the end of the chapter, he sees his mother cryin .....

A Comparison Of "The Handmaid's Tale" And "Anthem"
.... what your job will be, to whom you will have
children with.
In The Handmaid's Tale the story takes place sometime in the near
future after some kind environmental catastrophe that makes it impossible
for most women to have children. To solve this problem some radicals set
off a nuclear bomb in Washington during a full session of congress and then
declare marshal law. They then systematically took all rights away from
women and forced the ones that could have children into camps where they
would be contracted out to powerful ranking officials to have their
children. These women are referred too as "handmaids."
Next, I would l .....

Great Expectations: Symbolism
.... was just playing with Pip's emotions.
The character of Magwitch represents the symbols of isolation and the tragic
hero. In this case, he was physically isolated from society because he was a
convict and was looked upon with disgust. When Magwitch confesses and apologizes
to Joe for stealing the food, Joe replies "poor miserable fellow creatur." [43].
Magwitch also illustrates the symbol of the tragic hero. Throughout most of the
book, Magwitch is looked down upon by Pip. Magwitch talks about his gratitude
for Pip when he helped him as a convict many years ago. "You acted noble, my
boy," said he. [356]. "Noble Pip! And I have .....

A Comparison Of "Of Mice And Men" And "The Great Depression An Eyewitness History"
.... more to help everyone. Lennie and George worked for ranches and also
in the fields. "He's a good skinner. He can rassel grain bags, drive a
cultivator. He can do anything." (Of Mice and Men p.22).
If you really look closely, George and Lennie's way of life and the
Great Depression have a good deal in common. George and Lennie were
outcasts in life. George Milton was small in size and a very smart man
compared to Lennie. He was actually only of average intelligence. Lennie
Small was a large person and very retarded. Since Lennie was so retarded
he did not grasp the things that were happening around him. For example,
if so .....

A Comparison Of Hamlet And McMurphy In "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"
.... to the characters of R.P.McMurphy and Hamlet, an analysis of the
motivation of each is necessary. Motivation is the source of all action,
and only in this area these two characters similar to a traditional
protagonist. As the character himself evolves through the course of the
plot, so do their motives. Hamlet and McMurphy begin at different points
with different purposes, but soon meet with a common incentive. For Hamlet,
this initial impulse is derived from his embitterment towards his mother
for remarrying so soon after his father's death and for selecting her late
husband's brother Claudius, as her second partner. In a .....

A Critical Analysis Of "Revelation" By Flannery O'Connor
.... Southern upbringing, another influence on the story is Flannery
O'Connor's illness. She battled with the lupus disease which has caused
her to use a degree of violence and anger to make her stories somewhat
unhappy. The illness caused a sadness inside of Flannery O'Connor, and
that inner sadness flowed from her body to her paper through her pen.
Although she was sick, O'Connor still felt proud to be who she was. By
comparison, Mrs. Turpin in “Revelation” has a good disposition about
herself. She is far from perfect, yet she is happy to be who she is.
Perhaps the most important influence on the story is religion. In the
words .....

Great Expectations: Injustices And Poor Conditions Committed On Women And Children
.... 20). Pip had to make a
moral judgment about whether or not to tell the truth about what he did and is
challenged with many more of these decisions throughout the book.
Pip was later introduced to Estella, Ms. Havisham's adopted daughter, whom was
taught to pursue retribution on all of the male population for her "mother".
Pip became easily infatuated with Estella's good looks, money, and attitude.
Estella considered Pip to be common and pointed out the ways when she said, "He
calls the knaves, jacks, this boy! And what coarse hands he has! And what
thick boots!" (page 55). Pip once again has the feeling of guilt, this time .....
