Nanny was still strong." (pg. 28) When Janie decides to leave the next morning
for, if nothing else, a healthy change, she looks down and sees the apron which
has stood for all the things she has had to do for Logan," and flung it on a
small bush beside the road. Then she walked on, picking flowers and making a
bouquet." (pg. 31) When Janie threw the apron on the bush, it represented a
major change in Janie's life, and a progression from Logan. Janie is continuing
her search for true love, although she knows already that Jody is not the
perfect fulfillment of her dream, a .....

The Story Of Sweetheart Of The Song Of Tra Bong: The Use Of Setting
.... about her with the listeners as if
she were the attractive girl from school that everyone knows but nobody dates.
" 'You know…I loved her. Mary Anne made you think about those girls back home,
how clean and innocent they all are.' " (123) Rat is pushing his views upon
the listener. He is shaping how the story is seen. The reader sees "triple-
canopied jungle, mountains unfolding into higher mountains, ravines and gorges
and fast-moving rivers and waterfalls and exotic butterflies and steep cliffs
and smoky little hamlets and great valleys of bamboo and elephant grass." (103)
The actual reality of the situation is added by the .....

The Witching Hour
.... burden of his powers, he found himself
wanting to go back on the deck of the boat where he was rescued. He wanted to
talk to the woman who rescued him, for he thought that she would let him touch
the boat to recover images that night. He discovered that this neurosurgeon, Dr.
Rowan Mayfair, was the veritable love of his life. After he discovered how much
he deeply loved Rowan, he began to reminisce the images of his purpose; that
certain elements and images of his childhood hinted him to return to the house
he had been fascinated with in New Orleans as a child. Another major character
of the story, Englishmen Aaron Lightner, was a .....

Uncle Tom's Cabin
.... So while providing social, political, and religious commentary, she also
spatters her work with racism and subtle bigotry that would not be found in most
modern writing.
Uncle Tom's Cabin is a novel about how trust in God can conquer great
obstacles, including the pain of slavery. The main character shows this to us
through the story of his life. He is a gentle, pious slave who has been
promised freedom but is sold by his kind master to a hardened and unfeeling
trader. Separated from those who he loves, he is forced to be submitted to a
cruelty that only his trust in the Lord can carry him through. Despite his own

The Yellow Wallpaper: A Woman's Struggle
.... the narrator and her husband John as caring, but with examination one
will find that the narrator is repeatedly belittled and demeaned by her
husband. On first arriving at the vacation home John chooses the old attic
nursery against his wife's wishes and laughs at her when she complains about
the wallpaper (Kennedy et al. 424,425). In Charlotte Bronte's novel }{\plain
\ul Jane Eyre}{\plain , Mr. Rodchester uses his attic to keep his insane wife
hidden from the rest of the world. John's actions can easily be interpreted
with the same malice. The narrator's insistence that John is a caring and
loving husband draws specia .....

The Yellow Wallpaper: What The Hell????
.... 10 years old and I saw G.I.Joe's crawling up and down my
walls at night. I don't understand this woman behavior nor have I ever
experienced anyone in real life who acted this way.
John's wife is not an abused woman. She is actually well taken care of and
loved by her husband, John. The author, Charlotte Gilman must have some point
to get across. However the fact is I don't get it.
The most eerie thing about the story though is that it sounds and reads
just like a story from Edgar Allan Poe. Even though I did not get the hidden
meaning in the story I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Things Fall Apart: Okonkwo
.... in the works.
Charles foster Kane was a child that was very fond of his mother, as seen
in the first scene of the young characters life. Charles' father did not seem to
have any attachment to his son. Appearing quite ignorant, we can detect the lack
of a father figure in Charles' life. This first scene is recounted in the
journal of Mr. Thatcher. The man that took the young boy away, and sent him to
live in schools around the world. For the rest of his academic life. In this
scene the protagonist receives a gift from Mr. Thatcher wishing him a merry
Christmas. And cuts directly to a happy new year, some ten years later.

.... from. Being as young as he was, he always
thought that God delivered babies. After Brian witnessed his very first birth,
that of a rabbit, he became very confused and curious about what and how it
happened. Brian had a very uncomfortable conversation with his dad, Gerald
O'Connal, about where babies come from:
Remember I told you the pigeon grows inside the egg, the mother
lays the egg, and it hatches?...They don't with rabbits. Rabbits
are different. The father plants a seed in the mother and the
baby grows from it. When it's time, they come out.
Is that what he is doing when...

To Kill A Mockingbird: Coming Of Age Of Jeremy Finch
.... and Reverend Sykes ask
him not to talk like that in front of Scout. Which shows that he knows what
he is talking about.(see page 208-209). There is also the time when he had to
go and read to Mrs. Dubose which he later finds out about her drug addiction
which he fully understands. So those are ways he changes mentally.
Jem changes physically in many ways in the story. His hair stuck up
behind and down in front, and I wondered if it would it would ever look like a
man's-maybe if he shaved it off and started over, his hair would grow back
neatly in place. His eyebrows were becoming heavier, and I noticed a new
slimness abo .....

To Kill A Mockingbird: Scout's Development
.... against a black man who has been falsely accused of raping a white
woman. Atticus does his best to prove Tom Robinson's innocence, to a degree
where any objective jury would surely have found him not guilty, but it
sentences him to death, as it is expected to do by the general populace. Prior
to the trial, Scout and Jem are mocked by other children at school, which have
been told by their parents that Atticus will defend the offending black man.
Simply bearing this, as Atticus tells them to, instead of retaliating it
physically, which would have been a much more childlike behaviour, is also a
learning experience for the .....

couple of whippings, because after all, if Atticus were to see the torn pants he
would have known Jem was the culprit in the Radley's yard. “You were so busy
looking at the fire, you didn't notice Boo behind you”(pg 76) This was also a
symbol which Boo shared to let the kids slowly realize the truth about him, that
he was an innocuous caring person hiding behind a fading shadow. Boo just
wanted to be seen as the real him instead of the horrid stereotypes which
deformed his image.
Misconceptions are results of prejudice in Jehovah's Witnesses' case. When
