The French Lieutenant's Woman
.... 142). She is an admitted non-conformist as is evident when she states: "I am a doubly dishonored woman. By circumstances. And by choice." (Fowles 142). Her status is not something she is ashamed of; in fact, she does not wish to give it up. Sarahs' choice to be different is what has given her her freedom. The reader can easily relate to Sarah's motives since it is often a wanting of change that brings on the desire to be different, to be an individual. Sarah's personality can be related to by everyone who has ever felt the need to be unique. She is a symbol of humanity's desire for freedom and escape from the pressures of t .....

.... that Margot and Francis have very different personalities. This is clearly seen when the narrator states, (Hemingway 1402).
With this small amount of background information, the true motive for an intentional killing can be found. This can clearly be seen in the conversation of Francis Macomber after killing the buffalo when he states, (Hemingway 1408. "(Hemingway 1409). Robert Wilson, the guide on the hunt, gives the reader an outside perspective into this complex and troubled relationship. In response to the quote above Hemingway 1409).

The Reasons For Walter Mitty's Daydream
.... so fast for?'" Here the reader sees the sharp contrast between the daydream and real life.
In the daydream, Mitty has the full respect and admiration of the passengers of his imaginary hydroplane. In real life, his only passenger, his wife, scolds him for not driving properly. This contrast between the competent man of the daydream and the incompetent man of real life is repeated over and over. Each repetition shows the difference between Mitty's real and imagined lives.
Mitty is aware of his real-life incompetence and shows it when he recalls the story of the snow chains (Sundell 1285). In that story Mitt .....

Night: The Holocaust
.... leave his father, even if staying with him would be the cause of his death.
The German forces are so adept at breaking the spirits of the Jews that we can see the effects throughout Elie's novel. Elie's faith in God, above all other things, is strong at the onset of the novel, but grows weaker as it goes on. We see this when Elie's father politely asks the gypsy where the lavoratories are. Not only does the gypsy not grace his father with a response, but he also delivers a blow to his head that sent him to the floor. Elie watches the entire exhibition, but doesn't even blink. He realizes that nothing, not even .....

Nick Carraway’s Role In The Great Gatsby
.... the “great man,” Jay Gatsby, he goes to quite a length in establishing a credibility which is essential for the story. His reflection on his upbringing, particularly his “advantages,” as his father called them, those being his spiritual and moral values only work to build upon his credibility. For example, by saying that his upbringing provided him with the moral fibre and that consequently he is, “inclined to reserve all judgments,” about other people provides us with the impression that Nick with give us an accurate, level-headed insight to the story. Ironically enough, this really isn’t the case.
He makes an exception .....

As For Me And My House And Surfacing: Heros
.... suffering. According to Jordan Peterson it is human tendency to model facts, value is placed on these facts and we systematically assess what each fact signifies. This psychological process eliminates anxiety and fear. The need for a belief system is so great that Peterson states that: "We must model meanings in order to survive" (Peterson 8).
The character of Paul effectively articulates the psychological function of religion. Paul articulates how humans search for religion as a belief system in order to deal with feelings such as meaninglessness and insignificance: "[man's] helplessness, they way he's ignored - well, it .....

An Interview With Jane Austin
.... to my circle of friends and family. There is much character development in the story. The activities that took place in P&P also took place in the late 18th and early 19th century among the middle and upper classes. Very silly and boring indeed. Marrying well was very important at the time. Some paid the consequences just to have the luxuries of being married rich. So, I took notice and decided, wouldn’t it be quite a story if I were to write and publish it. The measures people went through for a good marriage was ridiculous! You can see why I chose not to marry.
Host: Interesting. I had no idea you chose to write P& .....

The Real Thing
.... dignity, but do not have a lot of ego. The Monarchs are people who will not steal or beg because of their high standards, but will try other means of earning their living in an honest manner, such as cleaning, doing dishes, or other chores. They are exhibited as smart people who make very wise choices. An example of this is when the painter requested them to leave, but they came back three days later, and started doing servant jobs around the house.
" The Real Thing " portrays the Monarchs as people who have lost their wealth, but have not yet lost their dignity. They are people who seem to have more pride in themselves .....

The Storm By Kate Chopin
.... in writing "The Storm" so soon after completing her 'feminist' novel, Chopin had "the protest of "The Awakening" off her mind" (p169).
The Coming of the Storm
The title of "The Storm", with its obvious connotations of sexual energy and passion, is of course critical to any interpretation of the narrative. Chopin's title refers to nature, which is symbolically feminine; the storm can therefore be seen as symbolic of feminine sexuality and passion, and the image of the storm will be returned to again and again throughout the story. At the beginning of the tale, which is divided into five sections, Bobinôt and his young son .....

Gun Control Violence In Schools Critique
.... In a 1997 report by the Centers of Disease Control it says that American Children under the age of fifteen are twelve times more likely to be killed by gunfire than twenty-five other industrialized nations. Basically my question is who really cares about twenty-five other nations? The facts that are presented should be base on kids and adults not on us and some other nation. The point is that in the past few months or even years the multiple homicides at schools by teens are because they obtained firearms by ease.
The author talks of the programs that should be proposed to stop the violence. The school based peer mediation .....

Chaucer's Canterbury Tales
.... the trades and the professions were there.(Rowland 248) Many believe that the church created these social structures to maintain control, so it is no wonder the clergy occupied the first class. The church maintained this control by being deeply imbedded in the structures of society and government. There were two types of clergy in the fourteenth century; the secular clergy and the regular clergy. The secular clergy's responsibility was to attend to the spiritual needs of the non-clerical people of the other class(Singman 10). The regular clergy consisted of monks and friars that led dictated lives. Every clergyman had been r .....
