.... Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning’s speech to his students he tell them how by depriving certain embryos of oxygen will affect which class they belong to. “The lower the cast, the shorter the oxygen”(Huxley, p.9).

Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde: Is There Evil Inside All Of Us
.... any namable malformation, he had a displeasing smile, he had borne himself to the lawyer with sort of murderous mixture of timidity and boldness, and he spoke with a husky, whispering and somewhat broken voice. (Stevenson 10)
In this novel it states that a potion can isolate your evil side. But does it take more then that? In many people minds it would take the willingness of the person to want to change himself. In the case of Dr. Jekyll he wanted this to happen, he was not happy with himself. (http://www.phuckschool.com)
One day the evil was just too strong and Henry Jekyll would be no more. He was now Edward Hyde: he cou .....

Philip “Pip” Pirrup’s Development
.... shame and guilt are often brought on by actions, it can also brought about by circumstances beyond the individual’s control. Pip’s first moral development stemmed from both such instances. His shame for Joe and himself for being common and mundane were first contrived soon after encountering Estella. Although Pip wasn’t the normal, satisfied child that one would think most children to be, he felt no shame for Joe or himself. Although Estella and himself were of the same age, she had a talent of making him feel inferior. She was disgusted at hearing him call knaves “Jacks.” She continued heartlessly, belittling him by comm .....

Sin In The Minister’s Black Veil And The Scarlet Letter
.... well-being. In this sense, the community/society remains the central voice over any individual’s thoughts and/or feelings. Puritans believe that humans are born sinners, enslaved by evil, and therefore, predestined in the eyes of God. God is the center of all, who chooses the elected few to be saved, so everyone must contribute to a moral well-being of the community in order to ensure that those elected few will remain pure enough for Heaven. The Puritans commune with God through the Bible, interpreting its doctrine word for word. The Bible is Truth, the Absolute law. Therefore, Puritans reason that it must be social doct .....

Just Whom Is Edmund Gosse’s Father And Son Written For?
.... reiterates it as a anecdote of a story “...his very absence of imagination aided him in his work. (113)” .
Finally, Edmund, being able to portray this book as a portrait of someone other than himself, is a chance to humble himself, no matter what he says about the father, to the reader. All of these methods that Edmund uses to sway our thinking actually serve only to benefit Edmund Gosse himself. This actually makes it more of an autobiographical account than not.
If you count the number of “I’s” in this book, you will find yourself into triple digits (I actually tried this). This is not the only narcissistic ang .....

This shows how is faith is getting stronger and stronger as a result of his pain and suffering. He believes that th .....

Carver’s Characters
.... very much like one of his characters, that things would not change.
What Carver deals with in almost all of his stories is the daily responsibilities of life weighing down on one's shoulders. "Almost all the characters in my stories come to the point where they realize that compromise, giving in, plays a major role in their lives," Carver said. "Then one single moment of revelation disrupts the pattern of their daily lives. It's a fleeting moment during which they don't want to compromise anymore. And afterwards they realize that nothing ever really changes" (Gentry 80).
More than once Carver has been criticized for de .....
