The Last Unicorn: The Character And Nature Of Molly Grue
.... but she didn't. She stuck with them
and served their every need. She feels so loyal to them that even though
she complains she will still do the job. Molly has been with these men for
such a long time that she has picked up some of their bad habits, and she
acts like a man. Still she changed to fit in, and is still faithful to the
men. When Schmendrick told the band of men how he got to their camp, "She
spat on the ground." (Beagle 56) This helps us picture the rugged type of
person she is, yet Captain Cully himself says that because of her
environment, it is only natural that Molly was "suspicious, pinched, dour,

using her to be the bearer of brutily hateful messages. Consequently, she
learned not to deliver such messages. This made her parents very angry and

experienced any meaningful affection from either of her parents.
Furthermore, on the rare occasions when Maisie's mother embraced her it was

almightiness by playing the part of husband to her. He was always in
control of the situation and always had control over Celie.
Finally, the consequence of the prejudice in this novel were
uplifting. The black women finally take control of their own lives, mainly

powerful and they are their own person.
In conclusion, the character in this novel, Celie, made me think
about prejudice and how to overcome it. Celie was such a strong,
intelligent and beautiful woman who was degraded and stepped on her whole
life. She finall .....

The Concubine's Children: An Analysis
.... rather impersonal, even for nonfiction. The book
itself was written recently, using the author's grandfather's letters as a
guide. The author wrote the book in an attempt to better educate herself
about her Chinese heritage, and about a nation that seemed foreign to her,
a place "you'd find yourself if you dug a hold deep enough to come out the
other side of the Earth."
The idea conveyed by means of the story is how Chinese culture
places the importance of family at an unsurpassed level and how this
becomes the demise of each of her family's prior generations. One example
is May-ying, a woman who will sell her body if .....

The French Lieutenant's Woman By John Fowles
.... the fight", which is essentially
what he has done. However it is hard to decide for whom to fix the fight in
favor of when one owns both fighters.
Fowles also briefly mentions allowing "freedom of characters" in his
writing. This concept is somewhat vague. To allow freedom of characters is
to essentially allow the characters to do anything that the author thinks
of. Why would a character ever not be able to do whatever the author thinks
of ? There are no written rules that authors must conform to while writing
a novel about how characters must behave, and that a character must stay in
character. The identity of the chara .....

is made from parts of different corpses and put together. Were he
thinking more clearly he would have noticed monster's hideousness.
Another physical aspect of the monster which shows a fault in
Frankenstein is its immense size. The reason that Frankenstein gives for
creating so large a creature is his own haste. He states that ,"As the
minuteness of the parts formed a great hinderance to my speed, I resolved,
contrary to my first intention, to make a being gigantic in stature ..."

Crime And Punishment And The Outsider: Self Discovery
.... were untested. As a result, he murdered an old
pawnbroker women in order to prove himself. Meursault, as well, acted
against the social norm. For example, even though it was expected of a son,
he did not show sorrow at his mother's funeral4. He did not think this was
shallow, however, he just refused to falsely show emotion when he did not
feel any; “I realized that I'd managed to get through another Sunday, that
mother was now buried, that I was going back to work and that, after all,
nothing had changed”5. In addition, Meursault felt that “nothing really
mattered”6. He was willing to be transferred to the Paris branch of h .....

foreshadowing, as I will explain later. Another example of imagery can be
found on page 54. This is when Jonathan was trying to escape and he ran
across the Count's coffin. Stoker creates the horrifying image of the
devilish antagonist by writing, "... looking as if his youth had been half
renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey;
the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the
mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood,
