Dr. Jekyll And Mr Hyde
.... was called and Enfield and the doctor felt an odd hatred of
the man, warning the man that they would discredit him in every way
possible unless he compensated the girl. The strange man agreed to offer
100 British pounds.

cold to the situation. The strange man presented a cheque signed by an
important person, which they together cashed the next morning. Enfield

Enfield if he ever asked who lived in the building, but Enfield explains
that he doesn't ask questions about strange things:

Joy Luck Club: Nationality
.... not many of them grew up terribly poor, they all had a certain
respect for their elders, and for life itself. These Chinese mothers were
all taught to be honorable, to the point of sacrificing their own lives to
keep any family members' promise. Instead of their daughters, who "can
promise to come to dinner, but if she wants to watch a favorite movie on TV,
she no longer has a promise" (p. 42), "To Chinese people, fourteen carats
isn't real gold . . . [my bracelets] must be twenty-four carats, pure
inside and out." (p. 42)
Towards the end of the book, there is a definite line between the
differences of the two generations. .....

Kate Chopin's Controversial Views
.... as wife and new mother,
Chopin fit in well with the New Orleans culture. She enjoyed the Louisiana
atmosphere so well that most of her writings were based here. Chopin
continued living in Louisiana raising her six young children until the
sudden death of her husband brought her back to St., Louis (Skaggs 3).
Oscar Chopin died while their youngest child, Lelia was only three. Soon
after Chopin moved her family to St. Louis to be with her dying mother. In
the grief of her losses Chopin had to rediscover who she was. This
challenge came out in her writing of heroines searching for self-
understanding (Skaggs 3). No longer Eliza .....

Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee: An Analysis
.... true. Generally, very little is known about this
terrible genocide and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is a wonderful and
interesting learning tool. Brown has written many books about the life of
the American Indian, including Creek Mary's Blood and Killdeer Mountain,
but Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is clearly his greatest work.
Brown made sure to include songs, quotes, and portraits sprinkled
throughout the book. These are very important as they break the monotony of
page after page of text. The portraits are well selected and placed, as are
the quotes, and help present a wider picture of the point in history.
Bury My Hear .....

Satire In Lilliput
.... ordinary, but compassionate "Everyman" at the mercy of an army
of people with "small minds". Because they are technologically adept,
Gulliver does not yet see how small-minded the Lilliputians are.
In Chapter II, the Emperor of Lilliput arrives to take a look at the
"giant", and Gulliver is equally impressed by the Emperor and his courtiers.
They are handsome and richly dressed, and the Emperor attempts to speak to
Gulliver civilly (although they are unable to understand one another). The
Emperor decrees that every morning Gulliver is to be delivered "six beeves,
forty sheep, and other victuals," along with as much bread and w .....

Huckleberry Finn: Controversy Paper
.... race
during that time. The question is raised by Fishkin as to if Huck Finn was
black? This in turn would take away from the whole basic outcome of the moral
lesson that we are all so desperately wanting to hear about.
I found it almost appalling to see how one author could so easily turn
the goodness of a young white boy and basically call it a lie in the eyes of
Mark Twain. It is up to us as the reader to close our eyes and open our minds
to the whole heartedness of a man kind.

Ernest Hemingway - "The Lost Generation"
.... suffering can take
its toll on the Code Hero as it did with Jake Barnes. Despite the deep
love between Jake and Lady Brett, Jake is forced to keep the relationship
strictly platonic and stand watch as different men float in and out of Lady
Ashley's life and bed. No one other than Jake and Brett themselves ever
learn the complexity of their relationship because Jake's hopeless love for
Brett and the agony it entails are restricted to scenes known to themselves
alone. Therefore, Jake suffers in silence because he has learned to trust
and rely only upon himself, which is conducive to the Hemingway Code as
well.
Jake is an Ame .....

MACHIAVELLI'S VIEW OF HUMAN NATURE
.... of it's citizens
there are few to be found."5 Machiavelli further goes on to question the
loyalty of the citizens and advises the Prince that "...because men a
wretched creatures who would not keep their word to you, you need keep
your word to them."6 However, Machiavelli did not feel that a Prince
should mistreat the citizens. This suggestion once again to serve the
Prince's best interests.
If a prince can not be both feared and loved, Machiavelli suggests,
it would be better for him to be feared bey the citizens within his own
principality. He makes the generalization that men are, "...ungrateful,
fickle, liars, and dece .....
