.... the earliest
train out of Central Station.” I stormed out, knowing that I was
defenseless against them I went straight into my room and packed, thinking
of ways to get back at them. I thought then I realized that I shouldn't
even bother wasting my time, I knew that it would be a small time before I
would be kicked out anyhow.
Bags outside the door at 5:00 A.M. So your father can put them on
the car. A couple days went by, as boring as any other days. I mostly sat

moment and went into "shell-shock".

Fahrenheit 451: Change
.... where books are valued.
Many factors contribute to the changes found in Montag. One of the
first influences during the story is the exquisitely observant Clarisse
McClellan. She is different from all of the others in society who like to
head for a Fun Park to bully people around," or "break windowpanes in the
Car Wrecker." She likes to observe people, and she observes Montag,
diagnosing him as a "strange...fireman." He is "not like the others"
because when she talks, he looks at her, and when she said something about
the moon, he looks at it. Clarisse tells Montag that he is different from
the other people. He has something .....

Character Analysis Of Arthur Dimmesdale In "The Scarlet Letter"
.... of it, he creates an extremely interesting and
tremendously strong character.
The scaffold is the place that Dimmesdale shows the amount of pain
and self-loathing he is truly capable of concealing. He realizes that he
is as much at fault for Hester˙s torment as any common villager, if not
even more so. Seven years prior, Hester stood in this place and took the
punishment for both of them while he quietly stood aside and led people to
believe that he also condemned her. During those long seven years he made
no move to lessen her load or his own. Now Dimmesdale has had all that he
can bear and lets out a yell that draws the .....

The Crucible: John Proctor
.... and that he will see all
of them burn in hell. That statement implied to the court that Proctor
worshipped the Devil and committed perjury. When Proctor tore the warrant
issued for the arrest of Elizabeth showed his ability to defy the court and
in a way his religion because the court was controlled by religion. Keeping
Mary Warren from court was extreme because he was keeping her from doing
her duty and from feeling important for the first time.
Even if one is brave or extreme, doesn't mean that they cannot be
dignified too. Proctor acted dignified when he tries to please his wife in
every way after he admitted to having an aff .....

The Grapes Of Wrath: Description Al Joad And The Setting
.... later in the novel. He is the kind of person that needs
motivation from the start, but once he gets going, he won't stop.
Setting Description
Oklahoma could best be described as one large dustbowl. All rain
has ceased to fall. The dry wind wisps through the air and gathers dirt.
If you listen closely enough, it sounds as though there are people moaning
whenever wind is present. The heat is so humid that any source of water is
dried up, and the plants wither away. All of the corn crops are gone as
well as all other crops. The dirt is like sand; it has no moisture or
fertilization. It is grainy and hard as though no .....

A Tale Of Two Cities: Sydney Carton
.... of the story and a large part of the novel, Sydney
Carton is shown to be a very arrogant, frustrated man with a drinking
problem. Several times in the novel he indulged in his drinking to the
point of becoming drunk or close to it. Many times that he is seen, he is

point of being a necessity or habit. Also, his drinking causes him to be
loose with his tongue when he is with Charles Darnay after the trial, which
makes Charles angry with him. This behavior was very ill-mannered a .....

.... but to follow. "He knows there is no reason to suffer and that
satisfies him."(508) This quote illustrates that the men are in control.

is a feeling of self satisfaction the men feel when they are superior to
the woman.

she feels that bothers her so. Her husband expresses his love for her but
at the same time imposes his will on her. He hinders her from having her
own thoughts. "…He is very careful and loving, and hardly lets me stir
without special direction…"(507) The last few .....

Chaucer's "The House Of Fame": The Cultural Nature Of Fame
.... praising the written nor the oral, reveals how essentially
the written word is far more likely to become eternal as opposed to the
oral. The relative "fame" of any work is dependent on many factors. Many
traditional and classical ideas result in the formation of the English
canon, yet as Chaucer indicates, the "fame" of these works can easily
become annihilated. The arrival of new readers with different ideals and
thereby changing tradition, can reject classical or "canonical" work and
their "fame" will melt into nothingness.
Most stories, histories and legends that emerge from oral heroic
poetry are to herald the achievem .....
