Kadohata's The Story Devils: An Overview
.... from. Although this may
be a possibly unreliable perspective, due to selective memory, the story is told
in a straightforward manner suggesting truth and honesty.
During the story the author realizes that Mr. Mason is a violent man.
This is learned through several instances, such as when he forced the mother
into a crying fit in her bedroom in the beginning of the story. He was also
violent when he threw a rock at a young boy that had wandered over to the yard

The Necklace: The Downfall Of Mathilde Loisel
.... of the
story is reiterated throughout the story. "She had no dresses, no jewels,
nothing. And she loved nothing but that; she felt made for that. She would so
have liked to please, to be envied, to be charming, to be sought after"(900).
Mme. Loisel was envious of her friend and anyone else who had more than what she
had. She felt that she deserved these things.
The plot grows completely out of the personalities of the characters. As
the story opens, Mme. Loisel's husband comes home with an invitation to a ball
at the palace. He had hoped that this invitation would lift Mme. Loisel's
spirits but it had an opposite e .....

Young Goodman Brown: The Downfall Of Young Goodman Brown
.... had before.
When Goodman Brown finally meets with the Devil, he declares that the
reason he was late was because "Faith kept me back awhile." This statement has
a double meaning because his wife physically prevented him from being on time
for his meeting with the devil, but his faith to God i psychologically delayed
his meeting with the devil.
The Devil had with him a staff that "bore the likeness of a great black
snake". The staff which looked like a snake is a reference to the snake in the
story of Adam and Eve. The snake led Adam and Eve to their destruction by
leading them to the Tree of Knowledge. The Adam and .....

means. He received kickbacks from drug stores in the area that ran an illegal
operation. He also utilized beauty parlors to perform two or three abortions a
week to bring in more revenue. When the war begins, Doc Daneeka's practice
starts to pick up because of the lack of other doctors. Originally, he thought
of the war as a "godsend"; however what he did not realize was that, the war
would catch up with him soon enough. One day someone from the draft board came

A Study Of The Negro Policeman: Book Review
.... policemen face
in their efforts to reconcile their race with their work in the present
framework of American values and beliefs.
The research for the study was based on intensive interviews collected
over a period of eleven months, from December 1964 to October 1965. During that
time the author talked with Negro police engaged in different types of police
specialties, and men of different rank and backgrounds. Alex was interested in
preserving their anonymity, and substituted code numbers for names. The
language in which their thoughts were expressed is unchanged.
Most of the interviews were obtained either at the pol .....

The Epic Of Gilgamesh
.... different from his arrogant
beginning of this epic. Gilgamesh has gone from arrogant to scared.
Second, the death of Humbaba changes Gilgamesh. Humbaba is evil. Many
people who live in the city of Uruk fear Gilgamesh. Most would say that
Gilgamesh himself is, in fact, evil. He has sex with the virgins, he does what
he wants, and he tends to offend the gods. He has lots of problems with Ishtar.
By going into the forest and facing Humbaba, Gilgamesh makes a name for himself
and changes the views of the people in his city. This is a very arguable point.
Yes, the past of Gilgamesh does not change, but the great deed of killing

The Fifth Child

insisted. This shocked everyone, especially her husband David.
Ben was not your typical baby. "A real little wrestler," said Dr. Brett.
"He came out fighting the whole world." (p. 48) Ben was eleven pounds at birth.
None of the other children were more than seven. He was heavy-shouldered and
hunched over. His forehead sloped from his eyebrows to his crown. Even his
hair pattern was erratic. His hands were thick and heavy and contained pads of
muscle. His piercing eyes were greeny-yellow in nature and focused on Harriet

The Grapes Of Wrath: Symbols And The Theme Of Man Vs. A Hostile Environment
.... There are
several uses of symbols in the novel from the turtle at the beginning to the
rain at the end. As each symbol is presented through the novel they show
examples of the good and the bad things that exist within the novel.
The opening chapter paints a vivid picture of the situation facing the
drought-stricken farmers of Oklahoma. Dust is described a covering everything,
smothering the life out of anything that wants to grow. The dust is symbolic
of the erosion of the lives of the people. The dust is synonymous with
"deadness". The land is ruined ^way of life (farming) gone, people ^uprooted and
forced to leave. Second .....

The Great Gatsby: A Full Spectrum Of Character
.... of fine, tailored shirts. It
would seem that Tom's relative wealth, also, had at one time impressed her
enough to win her in marriage. In contrast to that, Gatsby seems to not care a
bit about money itself, but rather only about the possibility that it can win
over Daisy. In fact, Gatsby's extreme generosity gives the reader the impression
that Gatsby would otherwise have never even worked at attaining wealth had it
not been for Daisy. For Gatsby, the only thing of real importance was his
pursuit of Daisy. It would seem that these elements are combined, too in the
character Myrtle. Myrtle is, as Daisy, impressed with Tom' .....

Somebody told me they thought he killed a man once.
Also, there is one more lady said that Gatsby was a .....

The Hobbit: A Review
.... After the climax there is the long
return home. It is quite boring since there is nothing to expect to and the
reader knows that the hobbit would get home safely. In my opinion it should
have been shorter.
Character Development
The creation of the characters is done by their dialogues and monologues,
actions and things noted by the narrator (the author in this case) himself. An
example for dialogue: “All the same, I should like it all plain and clear, also
I should like to know about risks, out-of-pocket expenses...” (by Bilbo, page
22, it shows that he is not ready to jump into things so quickly). An example
for a monologue: “No .....

The Ironies Of Orwell's 1984
.... them controlled with fear.
The next type of irony is Situation irony, which is when a character or a
sequence of events appears to be headed one way, but it ends up as the opposite
of what was thought. One example of this is Winston's general health. From the
beginning of the book, it is shown how horrible his health is and is continually
getting worse and more difficult, but as Winston gets involved with Julia then
he begins a metamorphosis into a more healthy person. Another major example is
the betrayal of many of the people whom Winston thought were his friends, such
as Mr. Charrington and even O'Brien- -who both worked f .....
