Peacefully Ever After
.... wish for
her to marry for stability and position is a good illustration of just how
deep the respect and trust runs. Janie has a very romantic notion of what
marriage should be. "She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a
bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the loveembrace . . . so
this was a marriage," is how the narrator describes it (p.24). Nanny's
idea of a good husband is someone who has some standing in the community,
someone who will get Janie to that "higher ground." Nanny wants Janie to
marry Logan Killicks, but according to Janie "he look like some ole skull-
head in de grave yard" (p.28). Ev .....

when her mother called. A second example is when Pearl accompanied her
mother to the seashore where they met Chillingworth, Pearl wandered off by
herself and occupied her time by playing with seaweed and the various
animal life that happened to be around. Children can also notice small
differences in their surroundings that are normally familiar to them. When
Hester and Dimmesdale where in the woods and decided to flee Boston and
travel to Europe, Hester removed her scarlet letter happily and threw it
into the brook. When she called to Pearl to tell her the news of them
leaving Boston, Pearl went .....

Jane Austen's Persuasion: An Analysis
.... character in this novel.
The roles of hero and heroin are reversed and men and woman are presented
as moral equals. It is interesting that the most explicit feminist
protests by Austen in her novels all have to do with literature. In
Persuasion Anne Elliot debates Captain Harville on who loves longest, women
or men:
Captain Harville:
"I do not think I ever opened a book in my life which had not
something to say upon woman's inconstancy. ... But perhaps you will say,
these were all written by men."
Anne Elliot:
"Perhaps I shall. Yes, yes, if you please, no reference to
examples in books. Men have had every advantag .....

A Review Of I Heard The Owl Call My Name
.... including the costumes and poems, songs,
etc prove how they are protective of their native culture and heritage.
The natives do not trust the european dsecendents, because they took over
their lands. All these reasons add up to the fact that the natives are
being described in detail in this book.
Another good point this book has to make is about nature. Nature
can be cruel to us, to the natives, and to the wild life all around us.
It lets all the "swimmers" die at the end of their trip, with no
exceptions. It kills people wether they fight it or not. It does not
forgive anyone! Sometimes, summers are hot, and winters are co .....

The Catcher In The Rye: Phoniness - The True Face And The False Face
.... meaning of his existence. There's Holden's false front,
a rude and without standard teen, but what's behind it are important. A
decent, sympathetic and mature teen lies behind the mask. The only time
he reveals these distinctions is when he comes to some points and some
people, especially children. For example, when Holden decide to go to the
west, he wrote a note to Phoebe to tell her that meets him at the museum.
While he was waiting, there's two kids that came up and asked Holden where
is the mummies, he stated: ". . . The one little kid, the one that asked
me, had his pants open. I told him about it. So he buttoned them u .....

Picking Up The Pieces: An Analytical Look At Why The Village Of Umofia Fell Apart
.... among these people a man was judged by
his worth and not according to the worth of his father...
As the elders said, if a child washed his hands he could
eat with kings. Okonkwo had clearly washed his hands
and so he ate with kings and elders. (page 8)
This was Okonkwo's motive in life and so he remained prosperous throughout
his life and worked hard to prove to others that he was not the same man as
his father. Unfortunately, this was not the feeling shared by many in the
clan and Okonkwo, in trying to make-up for his father's mistakes, took on
the respons .....

An Analysis Of Poe's The Fall Of The House Of Usher
.... the house has worsened, and Usher is no longer
himself. The narrator finds him ranting about the storm, and he explains
to him its only a natural phenomenon, and turns to their earlier hobby of
reading to distract him. He chooses the Mad Trist, which is apparently a
story completely created by Poe (and is definitely in his style). It is a
story of a Hero, Ethelred, who forcibly enters the home of a hermit and
finds a dragon in his place. During his telling of the story, the narrator
hears noises but dismisses them as coincidence. As he continued the sounds
began to get louder, and eventually Usher speaks, “yes, I hear it, an .....

Summary Of Joyce's "A Portrait Of An Artists As A Young Man"
.... universe, or the "baby
tuckoo". His family symbolizes the oppression that Stephen encounters
throughout his life. "Apologise, pull out his eyes, pull out his eyes,
apologise (Joyce 4)." Later the reader finds that this symbolizes how his
family will not accept his spontaneous outbursts, especially involving the
arts. Its also important to note that even at this early part of his life,
Stephen prefers his mother over his father, which shows later on in the
novel. " . . . he had a hairy face . . . his mother had a nicer smell than
his father. (Joyce 3)"
In the first Chapter, at Clongowes, Stephen feels isolated.

The Eyes Have It
.... all this good for
her own, and turning it into her black domain. She did. She casted a
spell which made a huge black bubble. It spread like a plague and grew for
leagues in every direction. Anything that entered this bubble never came
out. The Spider Queen threw her min orcs, demons, kobolds, etc. into this
bubble to plunder and destroy. This she did successfully.
But one person would not take this sitting down. While the Wold Nomads,
who were far away and too far to really receive the effects of this bubble,
rested their haunches and became couch potatoes, one Kathryn Fern-Cliffe,
daughter of King Buncombe the Green. .....

Pride And Prejudice: Elizabeth Bennet

that restrict the individual's freedom"(Litz 65). Darcy observes Elizabeth
as "...sick of civility, of deference, of officious attention...disgusted
with the women who were always speaking, and looking and thinking for
[men's] approbation alone"(Ghent 185). Elizabeth rejects Mr. Collin's
proposal because she does not think that "marriage was the only honorable
provision for a well-educated woman..."(Lauber 45). Nor does she believe
in marriage of convenience. When Mr. Collins says arrogantly to Elizabeth
that, "My situation in life, my connections with the family of De Bou
