Analysis Of "The Tell-Tale Heart": First Person Point Of View
.... he was mad, or not. Phrases such as "I heard all things in the heaven
and in earth" (62), tells the reader that the narrator indeed is mad, yet
the narrator thinks himself not. In the following statement, "If still
you think me mad, you will think so no longer when I describe the wise
precautions I took for the concealment of the body" (64). This in turn
helps the reader form their opinion that this man is mad.
Poe brilliantly uses first person point of view to his advantage
in this story. It brings out many feelings in the readers mind. Without
the use of this point of view, this story would not contain the clarity

Tess Of The D'Urbervilles: Analysis Of Angel And Alec's Attitudes Toward Tess
.... he came from Brazil, Angel realized
that "The beauty or ugliness of a character lay not only in its
achievements, but in its aims and impulses; its true history lay, not among
things done, but among things willed (421)." Angel loved Tess for her
intentions in the forest not her actions. The beautiness of Tess does not
diminish because of the rape because she did not "aim" for that to happen.
Angel's attitutude toward Tess in not of sexual nature and does not want to
take advantage of her. While Angel took Retty, Izz, Marian, and Tess over
the pool of water, he had a chance to kiss Tess but "It reminded Angel that
he was somewhat .....

.... kinship to the d'Urbervilles.
"ŒWell, as I killed the horse, mother,' she
said mournfully, ŒI suppose I ought to do

was not intoxcated at the time, and the car just accidentally swerved off
to the side.

Ray, and tries to admit to everyone that he did. No one believes him though,
and think's he's just making up the story to cover the guilt up. This
carrries on for a while, and Bruce feels even more depressed. A few days
later, a mysterious man, (the executioner) comes into the bank, and takes

A Review Of The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn
.... I,
me-yow! me-yow! as soft as I could, and then I put out the light and
scrambled out of the window on to the shed." This shows the boys
resourcefulness and intelligence.
I think it is sick that the group of boys made their own gang. The
gang planned to rob people, kill people and take people for ransom. Twain
illustrates this when he writes, "We ain't burglars. That ain't no sort of
style. We are highwaymen. We stop stages and carriages on the road, with
masks on and kill the people and take their watches and money." I find it
horrible that some young school boys would plan to kill people.
In conclusion the book is not as bad as .....

The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn: Superstitutions
.... luck,
but Miss Watson stopped him. All day he wondered when something would fall
on him and what it would be. This all implies that Huck thinks something
is going to fall on him, because of his accident. I have heard about bad
luck from spilling salt so I think this Superstition started in the North
or maybe it was just popular and spread quickly. I do not believe there is
hardly any fact at all to this. Huck believes in this probably because of
the way he grew up.
Jim said when young chickens flew a yard or two at a time and
lighting it was a sign that it was going to rain. He thought if birds did
it, it would be the same .....

Analysis Of Children's Fairy Tales
.... in a mystical
forest. I suppose places like these were used to provoke the children
imagination.
Many of the themes I found to be quite common. I quite often found them
to be about a boy and a girl and them getting together. There was also
usually some sort of a competition were the protagonist would win and get
the girl. The boy and the girl were often a prince and a princess. In
almost all fairy tales the protagonist was put in a situation where there
was a problem. In Cinderellas case she had no money and three wicked step
sisters. How was she to get the prince to notice her. In Snow white, her
beauty was the problem .....
