Jim's Role In Huckleberry Finn
.... through his actions and by what others
say about his actions. I would like to examine a couple of scenes
involving Jim to show some of his notable traits. The first passage I'll
use is in chapter 11. This is the chapter where Huck finds out that some
people are going to see if there is anyone on Jackson Island, where Huck
and Jim currently are. After Huck tells Jim that men are coming, Huck
says this about Jim's reaction: "Jim never asked no questions, he never
said a word; but the way he worked .....

"The Ministers Black Veil" And "The Scarlet Letter": Judgmentalality
.... no one knew anything about the veil he wore. Again in The Scarlet
Letter, I can think of two more major examples where an object was used
as a sign or omen. The first is of course the letter, it meant evil,
shame, and sin to the townspeople. All it was, was a letter nothing more,
nothing less. The second object that people took as a prolific sign was
the weeds on a grave. They reasoned that the weeds were there because of
the sins of that person, and that the weeds grew because flowers could no .....

Krutch's "Killing For Sport"
.... and contrast to show the difference between the
good and the bad. " He seems to get nothing other than the satisfaction of
saying: ‘Something which wanted to live is dead.' " On the other hand the
killer for food receives life in return for his killing, further stating
that the hunter for sport is evil. This work clearly exposes gaming
hunters and expresses how senseless it is to kill for fun. Krutch
identifies hunting as a "reality of evil" because we know it is wrong to
kill without purpose. .....

.... are relatively quite simple, yet he is a man
who rises above these facts and has a perception that shows the man to have
great wisdom and incredible insight. And although he maintains a
seriousness for all his wisdom to come through; his presentation of the
facts is given in a humorous manner. In Bop, "That's why so many white
folks do not get their heads beat just for being white. But me --- a cop
is liable to grab me almost anytime and beat my head- just for being
colored " (105). This side to Sempl .....

The Scarlet Letter: Letters From The Heart
.... nature is good. Almost everything
is symbolic in the Romantic wold. Romantics rely on their strong sense of

many elements that are vital to the Romantics. It is full of symbolism. For

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest: Jesus Christ And McMurphy
.... McMurphy's laugh as "free and loud"(Kesey p.
16). The Western hero is known to be carefree, and so was McMurphy when he
was first admitted as he "laces his fingers over his belly without taking
his thumbs out of his pockets,"(Kesey p. 16) a very relaxed poise. McMurphy
also appears to be much like the Western hero, a risk taker; he would go to
meet a challenge, ready to risk a confrontation, usually with the Big Nurse.
One such occasion was when McMurphy rose to meet the Nurse's confiscation
