Then, once they had developed a somewhat symbiotic realationship with him,
Gulliver was basically forced to abide to their whims and fancies, and
ultimately to be their tool in war. At any time, Gulliver could have escaped
their grasp, but instead, he opted to stay and observe and oblige to their
customs. He was a very agreeable guest. He did tricks for them, he saved their
princess from her burning castle, he defeated their mortal enemies, and all he

Gulliver's Travels
.... in detail, Gulliver judges the country's inhabitants he meets to be as
perfect and innocent as their toylike appearances. He refers to the Lilliputian
emperor, a being not even six inches high, as “His Imperial Majesty” and blindly
agrees to perform any demanded service, even though he could easily overpower
the tiny nation. It is only after his services have been exploited and himself
banished that Gulliver realizes how cruel and deceitful the Lilliputians truly
are and his personality begins to transform.
In book two, "A Voyage to Brobdingnag", Gulliver faces quite an opposite
situation, for in this world everyt .....

Harrison Bergeron
.... the population's way of life.
Suppose someone did not have the ability to invent the automobile. It would be
difficult to commute to school or work. Imagine if you had to walk to work
every day no matter how bad the weather is. Now-a-days people complain about
having to simply walk out to their car in the morning and wait for it to warm up.
Many jobs would have never been created if there were not any cars. Without
technological advancements, the economy would also come to a stand still.
If new goods and services were not being produced, the economy could not
survive. Monopolies would eventually form and eliminate compet .....

Goodman Brown suffers the same fate because he also has a feeling of superiority
over the rest of the village. He attains this feeling after he sees all the
people that he though were good and pure participating in satanic rituals in the
forest. He looses all faith in the community and feels as though he is above
them because he was able to resist the devil. The lack or trust trusting that
Goodman Brown had separated him from the community because he was a strong
Puritan and felt as though he could not associate devil worshipers. "Brown, .....

Catcher In The Rye: Holden Caufield
.... for a throw he could not go threw with it, so he paid her
anyway and sent her away from him. Holden was charitable when he gave a
considerably large donation of twenty dollars to the two nuns. This action was
nothing other than an act of pure kindness.
Holden Caufield has a foil or an opposite in the story, The Catcher in
the Rye. This person is his younger sister, Phoebe. She has a positive outlook
on life, while Holden hated it and thought he was doomed. She was his "ray of
hope" in life and she was the only thing that brought them true joy. Phoebe was
also the only person Holden knew who was not a phony about life and bei .....

How The Use Of The Diary Form Narrative Is Beneficial To The Novel Dracula.
.... whole plot of the book.
Some things that can be noticed about the diary form is that different
views of the same thing can be expressed by many different people; all in first
person view. Then, along with that, there are extensive and very detailed
descriptions about a thing, or person that is being described. In the novel,
this is seen as Jonathan Harker is traveling and he describes almost everything,
he does, eat, sees, etc.
Another use of the diary form is that Bram Stoker can have people "talk
to themselves." So if the person who is writing in his or her diary, that
person can make notes to him/herself writi .....

.... ways... getting “sivilized, money, and “family.”
Along Jim's and Huck's “adventure,” they have many conversations along the
way. These conversations consist about their freedom, money, and superstition.
In the story, they both have their own opinions about various things, like
Solomon.
"'Well, but he was the wisest man, anyway; because the widow she told
me so, her own self."
"I doan' k'yer what de widder say, he warn't no wise man nuther. He

Huck Finn's Use Of The Tall Tale
.... it believable. An example of this is when
he is caught as a stow-away on a raft and his original story is not believed by
the crew: "Now, looky-here, you're scared, and so you talk wild. Honest, now,
do you live in a scowl, or is it a lie?" (106). Huck then changes his story
just enough to make it believable, displaying his unique ability to adjust his
tale to within the parameters of believability. Throughout the novel Huck fools
many intelligent people. His youth gives him a mask of innocence, that people
don't want to disbelieve.
Stretching the truth comes naturally to Huck Finn. Although his lies
may seem to show a lac .....

The Devil And Tom Walker: Human Intent And The Aftermath Of It
.... the dollar above all else." This story does a
very good job of conveying a message to the reader about human values.
In the story Tom is seen as a very self-centered man who cares only for
himself and his own well being. He is not even phased when he discovers the
remains of his wife hanging in a apron in a tree; "Tom consoled himself for the
loss of his property with the loss of his wife" (132). Tom is portrayed in
the story as being typical of many of the citizens who lived in the town, many
of who's names Old Scratch had carved into the bark of a tree near the Indian
Fort. When the devil shows Tom a tree for a g .....

Jane Eyre: Imagery

(p.289). This statement possibly begins to suggests Janes unsatisfaction with
Rochester's position of complete dominance in their relationship. To Jane,
Rochester embodies the idea of love which she has so long been denied of. As I
stated earlier, the whole movie is about Janes journey towards acceptance, by
herself and by others. It is this journey which persuades her to move on when
she finds Rochester's physical and material love unacceptable.
Jane's next stop on her journey is Moor House. Here, she meets St. John
Rive .....

Is Huck Finn Too Mature?
.... Twain made his own character superior in a way to the others,
giving him a practical edge on situations. Huck is definitely superior to other
boys of his age, but it may not be just his intelligence. Also, Huck has a
tendency to confide in the way things are rather than looking for a deeper
meaning. This aspect of Huck's character allows him to express his own system
of values which seem to give him an edge on other fourteen year old boys.
Whatever the reason, Huckleberry is definitely advanced in life.
In this book, it is noticeable that Twain has given the narrator all of the
major and necessary attributes needed by an .....
