A Farewell To Arms: Overview
.... their love. The baby could not be born alive because their love was beautiful
yet doomed so that nothing could come out of it.
Hemingway's language is effective in leaving much to the readers interpretation
and allowing a different image to form in each readers mind. The simple

A Lesson Before Dying: Mr. Wiggins
.... sort of emotion before the shooting
or after up until that point. A hog can't show emotions, but a man can. There
is the epiphany of the story, where Mr. Wiggins realizes that the purpose of
life is to help make the world a better place, and at that time he no longer
minds visiting Jefferson and begins becoming his friend.
Mr. Wiggins' relationship with his Aunt declined in this story, although
it was never very strong. His Aunt treated him like he should be a hog and
always obey, yet she wanted him to make a hog into a man. His Aunt was not a
very nice person, she would only show kindness towards people who shared many

Amory Blaine's "Mirrors" In Fitzgerald's This Side Of Paradise
.... on how he believes he would like to be. Essentially, Amory is
shopping at a personality store, trying each one on until he can find one that
fits.
This personality imitation began when Amory spent his adolescent years
in the presence of his flamboyant mother, Beatrice. Beatrice raised Amory to be
what she wanted him to be, as long as it was stylish and acceptable to coeval
virtues. When he goes to Princeton, the separation from his mother, who
essentially thought for him, leads Amory to search for himself. However, his
idea of searching for his identity entails merely simulating the personalities
of those he admires. Thi .....

Animal Farm: Allegory Of Stalinism
.... relevant question or call for a considered debate.
The appearance of rats at the meeting raises a question: ”Are rats comrades?” A
democratic vote results in a ringing ”Yes!”. And Old Major proclaims, ”No animal
must ever tyrannise over his own kind. Weak or strong, clever or simple, we are
all brothers. All animals are equal!”
It was however generally understood that the pigs were the cleverest of the
animals, so the work of organising for the Rebellion fell naturally to them.
Especially two pigs take over leadership: Napoleon and Snowball.
The pigs developed Old Major's teaching into a complete system of thought:
Animalism. Ru .....

Animal Farm: Animalism Vs. Marxism
.... poor. The working class in Russia, as compared
with the barnyard animals in Animal Farm, were a laboring class of people that
received low wages for their work. Like the animals in the farm yard, the
people is Russia thought there would be no oppression in a new society because
the working class people (or animals) would own all the riches and hold all the
power. (Golubeva and Gellerstein 168).
Another character represented in the book is Farmer Jones. He
represents the symbol of the Czar Nicholas in Russia who treated his people
like Farmer Jones treated his animals. The animal rebellion on the farm was
started because Far .....

A Separate Peace: Finny - How Things Change

Europe. " '...Pink! It makes you look like a fairy!' 'Does it?' He used this
preoccupied tone when he was thinking of something more interesting than what
you had said." One time Finny and Gene were at the swimming pool when Finny
noticed that a boy named A. Hopkins Parker had the record for the 100 yards free
style. When Finny realized that A. Hopkins Parker had graduated before they

He was right. Gene was ecstatic that Finny could do such a thing without any
training or anything. All Gen .....

another motive? Anse plays "to perfection the role of the grief-stricken
widower" (Bleikasten 84) while secretly thinking only of getting another wife
and false teeth in Jefferson. When it becomes necessary to drive the wagon
across the river, he proves himself to be undeniably lazy as he makes Cash,
Jewel, and Darl drive the wagon across while he walks over the bridge, a
spectator.
Anse is also stubborn; he could have borrowed a team of mules from Mr. Armstid,
but he insists that Addie would not have wanted it that way. In truth though
Anse uses this to justify trading .....

The Great Gatsby: Structure Of Novel Influenced By Foreshadowing And Flashback
.... caught it with trembling
fingers and set it back in place. 'I'm sorry about the clock,' he said. 'It's
an old clock,' I told him idiotically." (Fitzgerald, pg. 92) This quote is the
first use of foreshadowing which is in chapter five. It pertains to all of the
trouble Gatsby causes as he tries to win Daisy back. The past is represented
by the clock and how Gatsby wants to repeat it with Daisy. (Eble, pg. 963)
This quote foreshadows to the end of the novel when Nick is left to tell the
story of the dreamer whose dreams were corrupted.
(Eble, pg. 963) "they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back
into their mone .....

Black Rain: Reader Response

cured themselves of radiation sickness and what the burns and other injuries
look and act like. These things are like myself in the fact that he does not
like to forget what things are like, wants to see first hand what the effects
are, and is very interested in finding information about new things that he has
never seen before. He also likes to help people greatly such as his constant
wanderings looking for coal for his community. If you were depended on would
you help your community? I think so.
The theme that is very meaningful to me is that war hurts two different parts of
