The Moon Is Down: The Effects Of War
.... was
the conqueror was surrounded, the men of the battalion alone among silent
enemies, and no man might relax his guard for even a moment" (65). The
soldiers now have only each other to talk to and Tonder longed to go home.
"The men of the battalion came to detest the place they had conquered,...
and gradually a little fear began to grow in the conquerors, a fear that it
would never be over" (65-66). In war, as time goes on fear begins to
settle on soldiers. "Thus it came about that the conquerors grew afraid of
the conquered and their nerves wore thin and they shot at shadows in the
night" (66-67). Tonder starts to doubt the h .....

Madame Bovary: Emma's Escape
.... filled with images of girls living with in
the protective walls of the convent, the girls sing happily together,
assemble to study, and pray. But as the chapter progresses images of escape
start to dominate. But these are merely visual images and even these images
are either religious in nature or of similarly confined people.
She wished she could have lived in some old manor house, like
those chatelaines in low wasted gowns who spent their days with their
elbows on the stone sill of a gothic window surmounted by trefoil, chin in
hand watching a white plumed rider on a black horse galloping them from far
across the co .....

An Analysis Of "This Boy's Life"
.... three boys never had that experience
from a father on a regular basis. Everything that they learned at home,
they learned from their mother. By no fault of their mothers, the three
boys developed a sensitive feminine side. Deep down, almost subconsciously,
they were all aware of their sensitivity, which made them feel weak. Their
feelings of inferiority showed with their shyness around girls, their
attempts at looking cool in the mirror, and in their teasing of one another.
A good example of their uneasiness around girls is shown as Wolff
described Taylor's sisters, "As girls went they were nothing special, but
they were g .....

In Cold Blood: A Review
.... they were not simply a
fictional story produced by some author's overactive imagination. However,
it becomes apparent it wasn't just the horrific story of these murders that
is troubling, but the aspect of how Capote tells the story that makes
reading it uneasy.
Unlike many other murder stories, Capote not only discusses the
criminals and their role in the crime, but their childhoods, their lives
right before the crime, and their lives after the conviction until the
executions. This may be because he was able to establish such rapport with
these two men through countless hours of interviews over many years. The
reader .....

many more crimes. Luckily for Bigger, though, the Relief Agency did find
him a job with the Daltons. When Bigger went to the Daltons house for the
first time, he brought his gun, because it made him feel equal to the white
people.
When Bigger got to the Daltons house, he didn't know whether to enter
the house by the front or back door. He looks for a way to the back, and
realizes the only way in is through the front door. As he rang the doorbell,
he felt very disturbed. And when he started talking to Mr. Dalton, Mr.
Dalton asks Bigger about his past crimes, which made Bigger feel pressured.
Then Mary Dalton walked in an .....

"The One Minute Manager Meets The Monkey"
.... they are busy doing everyone else's work who is going to do theirs.
Once the supervisor puts the work back on the workers it belongs to
she needs to make sure everything is going according to plan. This can be
accomplished by following the 4 "Rules of Monkey Management." (p. 59) Make
sure that the "next moves" are set before you let the subordinate go with a
project. If my supervisor gave me a project to work on and I just left her
office without agreeing on what to do, I would just sit in my office and
waste time wondering what to do first. If my supervisor and I agree on
what to do first, the objective is clear and my supe .....

The Wages Of Whiteness: Race And The Making Of The American Working Class
.... 1834, skilled workers went on riots hysterically fueled by the
threat of inter-racial sex. Again, we see that society did not
want Blacks to mix with white. This was more emphasized with white women
mixing with black men, because the white working class did not want the
physical blending of black and white people. Mobs were against black causes.
“As David Grimsted has shown, the tendency to riot against asylums for the
Black orphans carried the singling out of the defenseless for attack to a
chilling extreme” (page 109). From this quote, the white workers who
mobbed were opposed to giving aid to the innocent orphans. Thus .....

Eliezer Wiesel's Night
.... were jammed into train cars and shipped to the
concentration camp of Aushcwitz. At that point Eliezer was separated from
his family forever with the exception of his father. There was a large
crematory in Aushcwitz. You could smell the burning flesh in the air.
Eliezer was ordered to the crematory. He came within two paces of it, but
then was ordered to the barracks. He was saved for that night only. After
that incident, he lived with fear of when was he going to die.
Eliezer later went to other concentration camps in Bakenau and Buna.
During these years in the camps he lived through great suffering.
Starvation, and sur .....

Paradise Lost: Connections Still Used Today
.... to extend unto
themselves. The power of God helps to stir within all, Catholics
especially, a feeling of strength. This strength comes from knowing God
shares his power among each of us. His power is shared amongst us because
we do not doubt him or tempt him, as Satan did. As Satan witnessed
firsthand, many people dare not risk angering God to his fullest extent.
Another idea of "Paradise Lost" states that Satan is the root of all
the evil in the world. John Milton shows this idea in several places
within the story. For example, "The infernal Serpent; whose guile, stirred
up with envy and revenge, deceived The mother of .....

combinations of a complex of elements all enjoyed a capacity for spatial
thinking". This shows that he himself was aware that success was as much a
function of application as it was of theory.
Another importuned development still paramount in toadies world,
whose influence will be felt indefinitely is the development of the
telegraph. Morse, through the advances of Henry in the field of
electromagnetism and its application was able to revolutionize the way
people would communicate. While Henry made important advances in
electricity and its ability to transmit a specific signal over long
distances, it took Mor .....

Their Eyes Were Watching God: Love
.... over everything." She thought she'd have "a bee for her bloom."
She didn't exactly find this in Jody though. In him she definitely found
change and chance, but still not the love she was looking for. What Jody
had for Janie was more of a lust than a love. He was very protective of
her and didn't want anyone else to see in her what he saw. He gave Janie
many things including lots of money, but he couldn't give her love. The
little love that was there eventually died. So did Jody.
Finally, Janie met up with Tea Cake. The moved together to the
Muck in the Florida Everglades and lived in Tea Cake's Shanty. They spent

Heart Of Darkness: The Journey Into The Soul
.... very
difficult and twisted. The snake represents some of the animal imagery in
the novel. Perhaps this is a sign that the jungle is something living and
not just an ordinary jungle.
Literature's imagery helps to show the main idea through a picture
painted in one's mind. Imagery is very insightful and in Conrad's novel
there is a lot of animal and hell imagery that branches together to form
the main theme of the novel, the journey in finding one's self; the soul.
The snake as mentioned before is an image of evil. In biblical times the
snake created the evil in the story of Adam and Eve. The lion is an image
that appears fre .....
