Catcher In The Rye: Holden And His "Phony" Family
.... mother
frequently throughout his chronicle. One example is: "…my parents would
have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything personal about them.
They're quite touchy about anything like that, especially my father.
They're nice and all – I'm not saying that – but they're also touchy as
hell" (Salinger 1). Holden's father is a lawyer and therefore he considers
him "phony" because he views his father's occupation unswervingly as a
parallel of his father's personality. For example, when Holden is talking
to Phoebe about what he wants to be when he grows up, he cannot answer her
question and proceeds to give her his opinion .....

To Kill A Mockingbird: Relationship Between Brother And Sister
.... lack of respect she has for Cal.
Alexandra does not say “please” or “thank you”, just a simple command
forcing Cal into a servitude. Cal has symbolized strength and authority
throughout Scout's childhood, by acting as a mother figure in the Finch
household. Scout has never seen Cal in such a low and submissive position.
Calpurnia has established a respected place in the Finch family
through the years of dedicated service and through the love she has shown
the Finch children. Aunt Alexandra senses the family's closeness to Cal,
and fears the bond the family has with Cal. Any relationship with a black
person that goes deeper th .....

Silko's "Ceremony": Summary
.... own family members.
It was a private understanding between the two of them.
When Josiah or old Grandma or Robert was there, the agreement
was suspended, and she pretended to treat him the same as she
treated Rocky, but they both knew it was only temporary.... She
was careful that Rocky did not share these things with Tayo, that
they kept a distance between themselves and him. But she would
not let Tayo go outside or play in another room alone. She wanted
him close enough to feel excluded..(67)
This however did not affect the relationship between his
cousin Rocky .....

Summary Of Rosen's "My Lost World: A Survivor's Tale"

set forth, was an exceptional way to start the novel. It gave the reader a
more detailed image of what to expect. The reader now fully understands

Summary Of Burk's "Runs With Horses"
.... is left of the entire Apache Nation, his tribe, are forced to
surrender to the White Eyes and are taken as prisoners of war to Florida by
train.
While stopped in Texas for two months, President Cleveland decided
that the Apache men where to be separated from their families and held at
Fort Pickens on Santa Rosa Island in Pensicola Bay. The women and children
were sent to Fort Marion, Florida.
This book is called Runs With Horses because that is the name of
the boy it is about. I think this book could have had just a little more
detail in it. The story is great. I would read another book by Brian
Burks because he keeps you .....

Summary Of Tracy's "Home Brewed, The Unauthorized Biography Of Drew Carey"
.... as well as, what is often considered to be the peak of a
comedian's career: an appearance on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in
1991. Finally in 1995, The Drew Carey Show premiered. After near
cancellation, the show has become one the country's top-rated sitcoms. Drew
Carey is truly a remarkable story of the American Dream.
Kathleen Tracy perceived Drew in this biography as a humble, yet
dark character. In his life she talked about the suicide attempts that he
tried the most. She also refers to his family problems. It looks like she
takes pity on Drew throughout the book. If I were the author I would have

Sarte's "The Wall": Themes
.... damned lie." It was worth nothing because it was
finished." In this passage Pablo realizes that his entire life has been a
continuous sequence of events and eventually the outcome must be the same
for him as well as all men, which is death. This passage also shows the
reader that Pablo, like most people, deceives himself about mortality by
not dealing wiht it conscientiously until it is too late. The majority of
people live as if their existence is limitless and their days on earth are
not numbered. Neither Pablo, or the other two men, entertained even for an
instant the possibility of some kind of afterlife. They all view de .....

Comparing "Witness For The Prosecution" And "Wine": The Keys To A Great Story
.... with Mrs.
Mogson, we found out that she was scared with sulfuric acid by Romaine's
boyfriend and has been bent on getting revenge on Romaine. Plausible
characters and vivid description make this story more interesting and add
to the plot of the story.
The author of "Wine" was very non-discriptive about the characters.
This lack of description makes the characters extremely difficult to relate
too. The author never even gives her characters names. She just refers to
them as a man and a woman. This total lack of detail makes it hard focus on
the story and often you find it easy to lose sight of what is happening in
the stor .....

Analysis Of Williams' "The Red Wheelbarrow"
.... the initial
statement and the rest of the poem. The first two lines are highly
contrasting to the rest of the poem. The last six lines, grouped in two,
consist of either an article or a preposition, an adjective, and a noun.
The first two lines are the only ones with a verb.
The poem is lacking in punctuation, however the formality and
structure of the poem makes up for the absence. This choice of arrangement
of the lines and words could be a protest against formality. In any case it
is a search for new form of expression. This and the picturesque
description of the objects in the poem (e.g., red, glazed, white) shows us
the art .....

The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn: Conflict With Social Authority
.... in their actions.
Huck has a "desire" to turn in Jim a few times in the book. One
instance is when they are on their way to Cairo and they think they see it.
Huck takes the canoe by himself to talk to this "police" boat that patrols
the area. He plans to turn in Jim, but Jim keeps on saying how much Huck
means to him. Huck says, "I was paddling off, all in a sweat to tell on
him; but when he says this, it seemed kind of take the tuck all out of me…I
warn't right down certain whether I was glad I started or whether I
warn't."(Twain, pg. 99). The last sentence of this quote shows that Huck
doesn't know what to do. He can eit .....

Animal Farm: Notes

to sleep until late that evening. The animal had gone unfed that whole day.
Then one of the cows could not stand it any more and broke the door to the
store-shed. She and the rest of the cows started eating the feed in the
shed. This commotion awoke Jones, and he and his farm hands came at the
cows with whips. The other animals then began the attack by butting and
kicking the men. Jones and his men then retreated and the animals had won
the Manor Farm.

Analysis Of "A Raisin In The Sun"
.... get anywhere that he would lose all of the money
Mama had given him, trying to spread it around getting the businesses going.
The predominately white workers are trying to keep it predominately white.
The Black Americans are predominately the most prejudice ethnic
group in the story. They are not only prejudice against each other, they
discriminate against each other's gender, business affiliation, and beliefs.
Walter also talks about Bennie becoming a doctor, and being a woman. Bennie
is Prejudice against her rich boy friend. Mama talks about the black folks
who won't work for there keep verses those who do all the work.
