Abortion In Toni Morrison's Beloved
.... of slaves. Shown by Paul D in his most discouraging conflict comes in
contact with a rooster, Mister. Humiliated by the fact that an animal was
walking around with more power, he doesn't understand how an animal can
have a better life, and place judgement on a human.
During the time of slavery the love between a mother and her
children dims. Through scars mothers and children were to have secret
relationships. In Sethe's only memory of her mother she was introduced to
a scar underneath her breast which could always identify her mother. After
her mother was hung, Sethe did examine her corpse, but was unable to locate

Jane Eyre: A Critical Evaluation With References By McFadden-Gerber
.... the course of the novel. Setting changes varied
vastly from section to section, but McFadden-Gerber noted the constant
stability of Jane's character the exemplified fortified morals made by her
own constant and stagnant conscience.
Margaret McFadden-Gerber claims that Jane has little mental
mobility, though she is self-reliant as well as strong willed. There
appears to be a slight contrasting difference distinguishing the emotional
and mental development of Jane. I believe that the two go hand in hand as
the character's "feminist qualities" are the main theme and the reasoning
to her behavior. Each setting brings a higher l .....

Quinn's Ishmael: Mistakes Of Mankind And Their Affect On The Human History
.... Apply in person”(4).
This rather awkward request appeared in the personals section of the
newspaper. Because the bulk of the novel is narrated through the first-
person perspective of the man who answers this ad and becomes the
enlightened student, the reader never learns his name. However, he/she is
exposed to many important aspects of the student and his motivations. One
learns that decades ago he had actually been looking for such a teacher
during the children's revolt of the sixties and seventies but finally
concluded that no ne existed and that the new era was never going to begin.
This realization had embittered him to the po .....

The Characters In Chaucer's "The Clerks Tale" And "The Wife Of Bath Tale"
.... Between the two stories, the Wife of Bath and Walter are both
characters who are the most demanding in order to gain obedience. Both
characters demand love, a sign of obedience to them. Walter tells Griselda
that the only way they will marry is if she promises to obey his commands.
He says "you love me as I know and would obey, being my leige-man born and
faithful to whatever pleases me I dare to say may succeed in also pleasing
you"(329). Walter demands her to love him and does not give her a choice.
In addition, the Wife of Bath also shows some of the same signs of
"tyranny" toward others. She takes reference from th .....

Frankenstein : Morality
.... rid of both
monsters forever. "With the companion you bestow I will quit the
neighbourhood of man,"(pg 142) promises the morally corrupt monster to the
doctor upon the completion of his partner. When the doctor, if and when he,
finished his first creation's mate there is a chance that the monsters will
not keep their promise and stay in Europe envoking fear into townfolk.
The good doctor, trying to act morally, destroys the monster for the good
of the world. The monsters can potentially take over whatever they please.
"A race of devils would be propegated,"(pg. 163) thinks Frankenstein to
himself in his study. The monsters, if po .....

The Bean Trees: Symbols And Hidden Meanings
.... without becoming
pregnant and having to take on that responsibility. When she leaves her
home town she also wants to leave it all behind. It's is symbolized by her
changing her name and leaving without second thoughts.
I found it interesting that Kingsolver decided to make Taylor one eighth
Indian and have the baby full Indian. This might have been done to try and
make it seem like there was a type of natural connection between them to
begin with. "I found my head rights, Mama. They're coming with me." The
name that the baby was giving also seemed to have meaning. Taylor says she
was called Turtle because of her tight grip, b .....

The Old Man And The Sea: Isolation
.... that he did not stand to look at so he took it down. At
the same time the open door takes us through the old man's mind showing his
hope that someone will stop by his cottage some day and come in without
knocking.
Another incident that shows the isolation of the old man is the Terrace.
The terrace is a place that shows how other fishermen treat the old man and
make him feel as a stranger among them. The narrator of the novel supports
this idea when he says: " They sat on the Terrace and many of the fishermen
made fun of the old man and he was not angry." ( P 11)
The young fishermen do not want the old man among them because .....

An Analysis Of The Yellow Wallpaper
.... over them. Under their pressure, they don't dare to rebel against
them. Her wife sees images moving around on the dark side. That brings up
a big contradicting point comparing this to our present society. Back then,
woman does not have much freedom. They are under man's hands. Secretly
they tired to struggle through this strangle. But they failed after all.
My favorite passage of this story is on page 163. The detailed
description that the wife describes really draws much attention to me. It
talks about some details that the wife finds looking at the wallpaper. And
one interesting point, that she sees John and J .....

Prejudice: Looking Through The Window
.... that is punishable by the death penalty.
Even though all the facts proved that he didn't do it, the jury still found
him guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt". Tom's life has been sacrificed to
racism by the people who were there to protect him. The justice system
didn't allow this man to have a fair trial because of the color of his skin.
They disregarded his credibility or that of the other witnesses, all they
could focus on was his race because that was all the window let them see.
Prejudice can be overcome if you let it. There are many people out
there that are willing to lose everything they have to fight for what's

The Scarlet Letter: Hester's Isolation And Alienation
.... still loved. The
“impulsive and passionate nature” (54), which to Hester seemed pure and
natural had to be faced under humiliation alone, without the partner of sin.
It seemed as though she was paying not only her own consequence, but that
of her lovers as well. Saying so herself while standing on the scaffold “I
might face his agony as well as mine!” (64). Now taking on all blame she
has given “up all her individuality. Now she would become the “general
symbol at which the preacher and moralist might point, and in which they
might vivify and embody their images of woman's frailty
and sinful passion” (73). After the sin .....

You Just Don't Understand: The Differences In Men And Women
.... nothing about the salesperson except for his profession.
The man might have feared the thought of losing his job if he had not known
how to fix Tannen's camera. The man's boss might have been standing next
to him when this incident occurred.
Tannen's interpretation of this example is that the salesperson
gave her all the unwanted information on her camera in order to prove to
her that he is not incompetent. Her argument is that men always try to
show their superiority and imply it in conversation (65).
Tannen's interpretation of the example makes sense, but it is not
convincing enough because of the example she uses. Ta .....

My Son's Story
.... was then that it began, that it was
inescapable. Needing Hannah”(53). Sonny and Hannah share the same fierce
drive to end apartheid. They are fighting the same battle. She is his
understanding. With Hannah, Sonny feels “the ultimate joy of making love
with someone who, too, is in the battle, for whom the people in the battle
are her only family, her life, the happiness she understands”(67). Sonny's
wife Aila cannot possibly grasp what this cause means to him because she
isn't involved in the movement as he and Hannah are. Therefore he seeks
discernment with a woman who is as dedicated as he. “She can be relied
upon to kno .....
