instead he finds himself shipwrecked and washed upon the shores of Brumbidang or
the giants land. there he was found by a farmer whom handed him over into his
daughters care. The farmer uses Gulliver for finical reasons and shows him up as

A Comparison Of The Magic In "The Rocking-Horse Winner" And "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings"
.... should have outgrown long ago. No one would believe
that the rocking-horse essentially talked to him. Although the characters in "A
Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" believe that an angel is in their presence,
they have no idea what to do with him. No one had ever dealt with a spirit on
this level before.
As he rocked back and forth on his rocking horse, Paul had faith in
finding the winner of the next horse race. For some reason they could not
explain, Paul's uncle and Bassett had faith in him to pick it. They kept making
money on the young boy with faith. The boy, whose parents had no luck, also had
the faith that they did .....

An American Tragedy: Comparing "The Crucible" And "The Scarlet Letter"
.... Scarlet
Letter, but also in The Minister's Black Veil. One might even say that
Hawthorne's ancestry (Hathorne) is what he might consider his own "Pearl", and
this is why he changed his name.
Like Miller's the Crucible, The Scarlet Letter takes place in Puritan
Salem and has a tragic hero, but these are the only similarities between the two
great works.
In Miller's play, the tragic hero is John Proctor, a man whose pride
causes the demise of many women, tried as witches. Had Proctor chosen to reveal
his sin of lechery with Abigail Williams before the problem got out of hand, he
would've saved several women from being ha .....

An Analysis Of Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales": The Wife Of Bath's Tale
.... a work by Muriel Bowden, Associate Professor of
English at Hunter College, she explains that the knights of the Middle Ages were
"merely mounted soldiers, . . . notorious" for their utter cruelty(18). The
tale Bath's Wife weaves exposes that Chaucer was aware of both forms of the
medieval soldier. Where as his knowledge that knights were often far from
perfect is evidenced in the beginning of Alison's tale where the "lusty" soldier
rapes a young maiden; King Arthur, whom the ladies of the country beseech to
spare the life of the guilty horse soldier, offers us the typical conception of
knighthood.
In addition to acknowledging .....

An Analysis Of "Heart Of Darkness"
.... as Roman times, London's own river led, like the Congo, into a barbarous
hinterland where the Romans went to make their profits. Soon darkness fell over
London, while the ships that bore "civilization" to remote parts appeared out of
the dark, carrying darkness with them, different only in kind to the darkness
they encounter.
These thoughts and feelings were merely part of the tale, for Conrad had a
more personal story to tell, about a single man who went so far from
civilization that its restraints no longer mattered to him. Exposed to the
unfamiliar emotional and physical demands of the African wilderness, free to do
exac .....

An Analysis Of Hawthorne's Short Stories
.... plea from her husband, “Look up to heaven, and resist the wicked one,”
(1590) Faith cannot resist the Devil's temptation and has “uncertain sorrow,”
(1587) after submitting to him. The character of Faith which Hawthorne
portrays is one of uncertainty and one which has a lack of self control. Faith
is a good example of how Hawthorne uses a woman to symbolize a deeper
significance, in this case, it is to evoke the hypocrisy of the Puritan people,
that is, Puritans are really not as pure as we all think, they also contain evil
characteristics, in this case, exploited at night. We cannot justify Hawthorne's
usage of Faith as m .....

An Analysis Of Why Jimmy Doyle Will Never Succeed In Life Due To His Father
.... to bad courses for awhile. He had money and he
was popular; ..."(p.25). Jimmy liked better to be in the company of peers
rather than study, and his father condoned it. When Jimmy was not doing well at
Dublin University, his father let him go off to Cambridge where he could "see
life a little". While there he seemed to run the bills a little high, and his
father took care of all the expenses because he wanted to show off the money
that he had acquired. The way Jimmy's dad just gave him money and only wanted
Jimmy to meet people who were "worth knowing" corrupted Jimmy's work ethic and
his behavior in the book clearly demonstrat .....

King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table: An Epic Hero For Modern Times
.... is referred to as King Arthurs nephew. Later in the
text, when Arthur and Mordred are fighting (p. 96, para.1) it says, ". . . so he
smote his father King Arthur with his sword holden in both hands, upon the side
of the head . . ." In Camelot, Mordred is Arthur's illegitimate son, although
he keeps this a secret. This possibly explains the contradiction of Mordred's
position in the two pieces. Another difference in the two works was that in
Camelot, Mordred tells Arthur, "I despise the sword, loathe the spear, and I
detest horses." Yet in Morte d' Arthur Mordred and Arthur fight and before
Arthur kills him, Mordred wound .....

Their Eyes Were Watching God: An Epic Search
.... old enough for love she had her married. This guaranteed that Janie would
not continue a loss of identity.
Even as a young girl, living in the materialistic world of her Nanny and
her first husband, Logan Killicks, Janie chooses to listen to "the words of the
trees and the wind" (23-24). This is the first evidence of her searching beyond
her boring life. This then leads to her everyday life left empty, because she is
always looking farther than where she is at the time. So day by day she gets
more worked up into leaving Logan, and searching for love. When she leaves Logan
to run off with Joe, she thinks to herself, "Her old though .....

Animal Farm: Utopia
.... coming,
Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown,
And the fruitful fields of England,
Shall be trod by beasts alone.
Rings shall vanish from our noses,
And the harness from our back,
Bit and spur shall rust forever,
Cruel whips no more shall crack.
Riches more than mind can picture,
Wheat and barley, oats and hay,
Clover, beans, and mangel-wurzels
Shall be ours upon the day...(p.22-23)
After the song the animals were even more excited. They sing the song so loud
it wakes Mr. Jones up. Mr. Jones starts firing his gun into the darkness. This

Orwell's Animal Farm: Summary Of Characters
.... use.
Some of the animals come to realize what is happening and are mad at Napoleon,
but Napoleon talks his way out of it by convincing the animals that they are
mistaken and the hospital uses vehicles marked "slaughterhouse" to pick up
injured animals. Stalin's character was similar as he used people for his own
advantage, and when they were not further useful to him, he eliminated them.
The dogs represent Napoleon's secret police. Napoleon raised them up
from pups so they think his way and will do anything for him. They help hunt
down Snowball and do Napoleon's dirty work so everyone is afraid of them. The
dogs keep N .....
