But his experiences on the island gave him a more realistic understanding
of the cruelty possessed by some people. The ordeals of the three boys on
the island made them more aware of the evil inside themselves and in some
cases, made the false politeness that had clothed them dissipate. However,
the changes experienced by one boy differed from those endured by another.
This is attributable to the physical and mental dissimilarities between
them.

brings Hazel a three-foot shrunken man whom he honestly believes to be the
savior. Before actually donating the messiah to Hazel, Enoch's blood
directs him to clean his room in order to house Jesus. This particular

for reasons unbeknownst to me, other than to tick Edgar off. He plotted
revenge on his brothers, and friends in order to get both Thrushcross
Grange and the story's namesake Wuthering Heights.
When Heathcliff died, I imagine that he was very sad that his plan
did not work out. I'm sure he would have changed his ways if he knew the
outcome. Or maybe not. Maybe he would have taken great pleasure in
knowing that he created a hellacious time for his victims. M .....

shelters. A rumor spreads that a "beast" of some sort is lurking in the

anything, it illustrates a lack of self confidence in himself as well as a
lack of trust in her. In addition, after departing his wife, Goodman Brown
states to the mysterious man he meets in the forest, that "Faith kept [him]
back awhile." This means that although both his wife, Faith, and his own
faith delay him, they cannot stop him and thus aren't more important than
committing this deed.
Furthermore, there is no evidence of his trust for her in the
marriage. Imme .....
