The Pearl Notes: Chapter 1
.... Kino and
Juana where trying to get out of the trap that they were living in, which
was characterized by the fact that the doctor and his people were in
control, and would not help Kino or his people, therefore laying the trap
that luck alone determined wether on of Kino's people lived to adulthood or
not.
5. Kino was a man who was typical of his breed. He would go straight
through a problem, attacking it directly. He cared much for his wife and
son, but was very stubborn. As described, he was sold in his colors. He had
no grey areas, only black and white. His love of his family was white, his
stubbornness black. Neither would b .....

Pudd'nhead Wilson: Summary
.... said before even knowing him for very
long. You can't judge a person for one wrong thing that they said.
Pudd'nhead proves the rest of the town wrong when he solves a big murder
case by using one of his best abilties. The town should have never judged
him, yet instead listened to him and give him a chance. I would say the
people of Dawson's Landing would definitely qualify for the antagonist part.
Pudd'nhead Wilson comes to Dawson's Landing around 1830. He is
socializing with some people there when a stray dog starts snarling,
howling, and barking. Pudd'nhead makes says he wishes he owned part of the
dog so he could kill .....

The Life Of Edward Albee
.... discovered that the required courses were not the
ones I required." So he cut the classes that bored him and audited the ones
that didn't.
"It tells you something about the management of Trinity at the time
that they didn't catch up with me until the middle of the sophomore year,"
he recalls. "That ended my formal education, and I suppose it didn't matter
much. I'd figured out how to educate myself, and keep on doing it. To be
fair to Trinity, I would have been unhappy at any college or university."
Albee was even more unhappy when his adoptive mother ejected him
from the family mansion for homosexuality. He moved to Greenwich .....

despises the doctor. He would rather kill him than speak with him, let
alone invite the doctor into his own home. The neighbors believe the
doctors motives to be what they truly are: to take advantage of Kino.
6.

found the pearl his neighbors wished to take it from him, while before,
they did not really care, as he was one of them.
8. By the end of the chapter Juana hates the pearl and believes it to be
evil, and wishes it to be destroyed.

Summary Of The Call Of The Wild
.... The law of club is quite simple, if there is a man with a club, a
dog would be better off not to challenge that man. Buck learned this law
after he was beaten half to death by the man who had the club. No matter
what he tried, he just couldn't win.
Buck was sold off to a man who put him in a harness connected to
many other dogs and eventually, he learned the way of trace and trail.
Buck had to learn many things if he was to survive in this frigid land. He
had to learn to sleep under the snow and to eat his food as fast as
possible so as not to have it stolen. At about this point in the book,
Buck begins to transform int .....

Art As An Insight Into Jane Eyre's Life
.... stay in the red room of Gateshead. In the
opening scene, Jane is found perusing a copy of Bewick's “History of
British Birds,” concentrating on the descriptions of the certain landscapes
in which some of the birds live. Her words paint a mental picture, one
that represents her childhood,
“Of these death-white realms I formed an idea of my own: shadowy, like all
the half-comprehended notions that float dim through children's brains, but
strangely impressive. The words…gave significance to the rock standing up
alone in a sea of billow and spray; to the broken boat stranded on a
desolate coast; to the cold and ghastly moon glan .....

A Review Of Huxley's Brave New World
.... If you think it does, then you enjoy an
enviably sheltered life and an enviably cosy imagination. For it's all
sugar-coated pseudo-realism.
In BNW, Huxley contrives to exploit the anxieties of his bourgeois
audience about both Soviet Communism and Fordist American capitalism. He
taps into, and then feeds, our revulsion at Pavlovian-style behavioural
conditioning and eugenics. Worse, it is suggested that the price of
universal happiness will be the sacrifice of the most hallowed shibboleths
of our culture: "motherhood", "home", "family", "freedom", even "love". The
exchange yields an insipid happiness that's unworthy of .....

The Old Man And The Sea: Santiago A Hero?
.... been able to catch such a fish as he did, skeleton or not. here is an
example of Santiago's determination, for which the people of the town
respected him for, “he took all of is pain and what was left of his
strength and his long gone pride and he put it against the fishes agony and
the fish came over onto his side and swam gently on his side, his bill
almost touching the planking of the skiff and started to pass the boat,
long, deep, wide, silver and barred with purple and interminable in the
water.”
In conclusion, I feel that Santiago could not have been a failure,
even if he tried! Santiago was a true fisherman, full of .....

The Promise: Plot
.... which involves
not letting him talk to anyone or interact with anything except his
therapist. The major conflict is when Michael becomes catatonic, and it
seems as if Reuben will not get his smicha and Michael will never be cured.
