An Analysis Of Jane Smiley's A Thousand Acres
.... irrelevant. Ginny remarks, "of course it was silly to talk about
'my po int of view.' When my father asserted his point of view, mine
vanished" (176). When she makes the "mistake" of crossing her father, she
is referred to as a "bitch," "whore," and "slut" (181, 185).
It could be argued that many of the male characters in the novel
are suffering from a type of virgin/whore syndrome. As long as the women
remain docile receptacles they are "good"; when they resist or even
question masculine authority, they are "bad." Rose complains, "When we are
good girls and accept our circumstances, we're glad about it....When w .....

The Canterbury Tales: The Wife Of Bath
.... was she, soothly for to saye.
Upon an amblere esily she sat" (p.91, ll. 470-471)
This physical feature is attributed to lust and passion. The fact that she
could ride a horse easily also could take on sexual connotations (Maclaine
32). The horse she "rides" so well could actually be her husband.
Early in the Wife of Bath Prologue, The Wife of Bath declares that
experience is more important to her than knowledge.
"Experience, though noon auctoritee,
Were in this world, is right ynough for me"
(p.117, ll. 1-2)
She is confident about her knowledge of love .....

Characterization In Clancy's Red Storm Rising
.... Iceland, as he kills three Russians in order to save a girl from
rape. If his actions weren't enough, the reader sees in italics the
sanctity and respect that he holds for women and his fellow human beings.
Showing the thoughts of the characters brings the reader even closer to the
story and the men in involved with it.
Clancy's other wonderful method of characterization is to quickly
jump from character to character. He might spend a half of a page, or three
to four pages on one character, but he keeps the reader informed about all
of the characters almost simultaneously. This whets the reader's appetite
and their imaginat .....

The Scarlet Letter: How Are Life's Lessons Learned?
.... he was laughing all the while that he lashed himself. Neither
means of punishment had taught him anything, as well as Hester.
To fill in for what punishment had not taught, consequence brought
forth the lessons of life. The consequences that Hester found were bad and
good. There is usually two sides of consequences. The scarlet letter
showed everyone she was a sinner, an adulteress, making the people sick of
her, and did not acknowledge her. Yet as time went on, people noticed that
Hester had embroidered the scarlet letter so beautifully, that she had
offers to have embroidery done for others. As the course of the .....

The Scarlet Letter: Summary
.... invaders, but ecumenicals, free-thinkers, Quakers,
antinomians, and former members of the Merry-Mount colony. So the mood is
hopeful as the story draws to a close. The community survives, and with it,
presumably, the prospects for the great experiment. Prospectively, too, the
experiment moves outward across the continent, where the Dimmesdale family,
riding off together into the sunset, goes in search of a new life.
The Scarlet Letter is the founding classic of that American heroic
tradition. Needless to say, this does not make it a partisan tract. The
novel is no more a polemic against individualist democracy than it is a
pol .....

Young Goodman Brown: Everyone Is Capable Of Sin
.... dinner to attend the
satanic gathering. The deacon says,'”Besides several of the Indian powwows,
who, after their fashion know almost as much deviltry as the best of us,'”
(311). The whole time Goodman is on the trail, he is committing sin.
Every step of the way, he is forsaking his god. He slowly succumbs to sin
as the lord of the underworld coaxes him. At the meeting, when a voice
screamed out, ‘”Bring forth the converts!'”(315), Goodman steps forward,
accepting evil. Under the right settings, anybody is capable of evil.
Using the right settings, Hawthorne creates symbolistic
environments to make so called heavenly .....

Fahrenheit 451: A Depleting Society
.... Instead of talking and
carrying on a conversation with somebody a person often turns the music on
and sticks to themselves instead.
Before the 1920's and before Charles Darwin came out with his
theory of evolution and The Origin of Species, the only thing people knew
was the story of the Bible. Almost everybody lived believing the Bible.
Rarely was it questioned and everybody was familiar with it. Today, there
are less people who read the Bible faithfully, go to church, or even
believe in what the Bible says. There are many questions that have aroused
about parts of the Bible. In Fahrenheit 451 the Bible is a very rare book.

Animal Farm: The Corruption In Humans And The Character Napoleon
.... the pigs milked the cows and
someone asked what was going to happen to all that milk, Napoleon
receptively shrugged it off by saying: “ ‘ Never mind the milk, comrades!'
cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. ‘That will be
attended to.' “ Napoleon is using a communist term when referring to the
other animals as comrades. A Utilitarian is one who believes all things
should be done with the greater good in mind. This is very effective
because it gives the other farm animals the illusion that Napoleon is
striving for the best interests of all but in reality he's only looking
after his own.
The most effective .....

Animal Farm: Boxer Is A Leader's Ideal Disciple
.... He then resorted
back the motto that "Napoleon is always right." He may have been able to
stick to his belief about Snowball had it not been for his naive nature.
The pigs took a great advantage of this. Boxer was also faithful to his
work. He was always trying to do more. Boxer was a very faithful
character who is a great example of a good follower.
Another quality of Boxer that made him a very good apostle was his
willingness to work harder. This was illustrated his other motto, "I will
work harder." This shows that no matter how hard he works, he thinks that
there is always time and energy enough for him to do more. He w .....

neighborhood there is discrimination because of the skin color and they are
harassed. There was violence in the 20's with gangs and mob leaders such as
Al Capone. He was a notorious racketeer who fought with other gangs. Today
there are also gang crimes like in the music business there were killings
of two rap artists. The killings took place because of animosity among the
East Coast and the West Coast rappers.
Even though there is discrimination and irresponsibility many young
adults prove their integrity and assist others in the most crucial times.
Everyone thought Gatsby was a killer and they we .....

Jay Gatsby: A Confused Man

throughout his life. He liked to focus on past events, rather than look at
what was happening at the present. For example, he and Daisy had a
beautiful romance for a long period earlier in his life. Gatsby repeated
this moment over and over again in his head,
Gatsby, also, was rumored to have told stories about his past, such
as his story about his time spent at Oxford was not quite clear. He was
also rumored to have murdered a man. No one was really completely clear
about the life that Gatsby live, not even Gatsby himself. Why he made
these stories up or lied about cer .....
