The Chosen: The Similar Desires Of David Malter And Reb Saunders
.... He enjoyed his son for who he was, whereas Reb was very focused on what he wanted his son to become.
Another major difference between Reb and David was their relationship with their sons. Reb had a very silent relationship with Danny, while David had a very communicable relationship with Reuven. Reb thought that in order to teach his son to make his own decisions and to learn the difference between right and wrong, he had to be silent and almost non-communicative with his son. This method involved love, but there was also much fear included. At the same time, David thought that it was much better to raise a son with communi .....

Martin Luther’s An Appeal To The Ruling Class Of German Nationality As To The Amelioration Of The State Of Christendom
.... by striking the second.
The pope’s duty is to interpret the Holy Scriptures. The people follow the pope because he has a sincere understanding of the Bible. However there is no proof that the pope has the greatest understanding of the Holy Scriptures. Martin Luther believes that there may be other common people who are just as capable of interpreting the Bible. Luther argues if a “humble person” is just as knowledgeable of the Bible he or she should be followed as well. The pope’s understanding of the Bible should be used in bettering the Christian well being, as stated in Luther’s attack of the third wall.

The Lord Of The Flies: Ralph
.... blowing the conch to call the meetings. This showed he was really a leader and not a follower. That is one aspect I really liked about Ralph.
“Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood.” “There was lashings of blood, ” said Jack, laughing and shuttering, “you should have seen it!” (Golding 69) This quote shows how all the boys were becoming uncivilized and crazy. Ralph, on the other hand, was almost the total opposite of all the others and didn’t like this whole incident at all. Ralph wanted to stay humanized. Another reason I would align myself with Ralph is that he cared and loved for everyone. Ralph was the one who .....

“The Story Of An Hour”: Louise Mallard As A Sympathetic Figure
.... figure. But in fact those are the few signs that indicate Mrs. Mallard is completely without compassion. However, there is much more evidence in the story to suggest Mrs. Mallard should be viewed as a favorable character. The author states that after Mrs. Mallard was told of her husband’s death, “She wept at once, with a sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms.” From this statement, we can surmise Mrs. Mallard had some tender feelings for her husband. It is while sitting in her room, looking out the window at the normalcy of life, that Mrs. Mallard gets an unwanted revelation. Chopin writes, “There was something .....

His hobby was keeping fingerprints of everyone it the town. People thought him crazy, but in the end I was worth it.
Robert Regan stated, “Wilson was to be a satirized hero, a man who revels in being praised for the wrong reasons by the wrong people.” This says that Wilson would have been a very successful lawyer, but people judged him to the wrong degree. Pudd’nhead did things to keep himself occupied over the years. Eberhard Alsen said, “Wilson soon .....

Having gathered all this, “A summoner isn’t much to be commended.” The summoner however, resorts to vulgarity due to anger: “…when my turn’s to come I’ll pay him back by God! I’ll strike him dumb!” The summoner begins the tale by noting that friars are found only in the “arse” of the devil: “Show forth thine arse and let the friar see the nested ordained for friars in this place!” The summone .....
