Their Eyes Were Watching God: Janie Crawford
.... that she loses the part of her voice that she has
discovered by running away from Logan. At times, she has enough courage to say
no to Joe, but he always has something to say back that discourages Janie from
continuing her argument. But, in my opinion, Janie does not lose her will to
find herself and it might have even become stronger because the reader can see
that Janie is not happy with the way things are now and that she will probably
want to change them in the future.
When Joe dies and Janie marries Tea Cake, she feels free because even
though Tea Cake asks for her opinion when he does something and cares about her.

Jem's Journal: Chapter Summary
.... her from getting sick. I
think I yelled at her and said that isn't she supposed to know that she isn't
allowed even near those trees. We all know about that weird guy Boo Radley and
we know that property is off limits. I told her that she would probably get
killed if she were caught. She said in defense that I touched the house once.
This was a clear reference to Boo Radley's house but I ignored her comment and
told her that it was different. I also ordered her to go and use some mouth
wash to get rid of the germs that she collected from that stick of gum she just
spit out. She wasn't pleased that I just ordered her to was .....

Orson Scottt Card's Ender's Game
.... final mission before they grade him. He up agents a whole planet and a vast
number of ships. He ends up winning by using a secret weapon on the planet that
blows it up. When he finishes the battle he realizes that everyone is cheering
behind him. When he asks why they tell him that all of his missions were real
ones against the buggers and that he had just destroyed all of the buggers.
My favorite character in this book is Ender. He is my favorite character
for many reasons. One reason is that he is really smart. He has a photographic
memory and he has a 200 IQ. He also could out smart adults when he was 5.
Another reason why .....

Jude The Obscure
.... of the
major reasons that causes Hardy to have these views is that he feels religion
leads to hypocrisy. He feels that man has many desires that go against the laws
of religion, and these desires lead man to feel very hypocritical. These
feelings of hypocrisy then cause man to have many inner conflicts that lead to
many problems. This negativity towards religion is seen both through symbols in
the book and in the plot itself. The symbols that convey this message are the
name Jude, which is an allusion to Judas Iscariot who was a traitor to Jesus.
The name Jude can also be a reference to the wandering Jew. The second symbol is

Judgement

to the Radley place. They can't figure out who would set these nice gifts out
for them. Later they find out that is Boo Radley. He is just trying to be nice

the book the children decide to go up onto the porch to try and get a peak

them and she found them mended and laying over the fence. Another example of
how nice the Radley's are is when it was shiv .....

Jurassic Park

escaped. Ian Malcolm's opinion of this world is that it won't survive, or the
humans won't survive. The world has survived everything until now, it will
surely survive the dinosaurs once more. But us, the humans are the ones that
may not survive. "Our planet is four and a half billion years old. There has
been life on this planet for nearly that long. Three point eight billion. The
first bacteria. And later, the first multi-cellular animals, and the first
complex creatures, in the sea, on the land…. Great dynasties of creatures

Kate Chopin's The Awakening
.... of
modern day. In fact, it was widely rejected for years. Within the context, it
is considered a very liberal book from the beginning of the nineteenth century.
The ideas expressed within the content concern the women's movement and an
individual woman searching for who she really is. Ross C. Murfin in his
critical essay "The New Historicism and the Awakening", shows how Chopin uses
the entity of the hand to relate to both the entire women's issue and Edna
Pontlierre's self exploration:
"Chopin uses hands to raise the issues of women, property, self-possession, and
value. Women like Adele Ratignolle, represented by their p .....

Song Of Solomon: Milkman Dead - Respecting And Listening To Women
.... lesson his father teaches him is
that ownership is everything, and that women's knowledge (specifically, Pilate's
knowledge) is not useful "in this world" (55). He is blind to the Pilate's
wisdom. When Pilate tell Reba's lover that women's love is to be respected, he
learns nothing (94).
In the same episode, he begins his incestuous affair with Hagar, leaving
her 14 years later when his desire for her wanes. Milkman's experience with
Hagar is analogous to his experience with his mother, and serves to "[stretch]
his carefree boyhood out for thrifty-one years" (98). Hagar calls him into a
room, unbuttons her blouse and smiles (92) .....

Lord Of The Flies Response

disobey him. If the boys do not work together on anything, it's never going to
work. While Jack and others were rebelling, Ralph was trying his best to keep
the island together.
One example of how not working together hurt their the civilization severely was,
when they were building the shelters. Everyone was supposed to help, but only
two people (Ralph and Simon) could honestly say they helped build all the houses.
The first house looked great with everyone helping to make it. The second
house looked okay but some people forgot about their jobs and wandered off. But
the third house was no more th .....
