Morrison's Jazz: Characters' Actions
.... at the beginning,
but is relieved of this generalized characterization through her actions
towards Joe and her search for self-satisfaction. Even though the history
that is recounted in this novel is more gossip than fact, it presents a
more accurate story than the one depicted in the “offical story” located at
the beginning of the novel. Toni Morrison attempts, through these three
characters to illustrate how the narrator's perception of each character's
history can alter the reader's understanding of .....

can be just as painful for Sethe. All in all the life of a slave is
dehumanizing. Constant hiding and being on the run plays tricks on the

Jane Eyre: A Critical Evaluation With References By McFadden-Gerber
.... her choice to leave Rochester
was based on her own self-love; Jane Eyre had no family or friends to
influence the decision to flee from comfort. Instead, Jane disciplined
and developed herself in the course of the novel. Setting changes varied
vastly from section to section, but McFadden-Gerber noted the constant
stability of Jane's character the exemplified fortified morals made by her
own constant and stagnant conscience.
Margaret McFadden-Gerber claims that Jane has little mental
mobility, thou .....

Quinn's Ishmael: Mistakes Of Mankind And Their Affect On The Human History
.... happened to be a gorilla named Ishmael. It was for that reason that a
very special student was required to learn his lessons. “Teacher seeks
pupil. Must have an earnest desire to save the world. Apply in person”(4).
This rather awkward request appeared in the personals section of the
newspaper. Because the bulk of the novel is narrated through the first-
person perspective of the man who answers this ad and becomes the
enlightened student, the reader never learns his name. However, he/she is
exposed t .....

The Characters In Chaucer's "The Clerks Tale" And "The Wife Of Bath Tale"
.... difference between these tales however is
that "The Clerks Tale" is a very unrealistic story, whereas "The Wife of
Baths Tale" is a more practical story and would have the possibility of
taking place.
Between the two stories, the Wife of Bath and Walter are both
characters who are the most demanding in order to gain obedience. Both
characters demand love, a sign of obedience to them. Walter tells Griselda
that the only way they will marry is if she promises to obey his commands.

The Old Man And The Sea: Isolation
.... it made him too lonely to see it" ( P 16)
Everything in the old man's shack give the reader a feeling of his
loneliness and isolation, such as his one bed, one table, one chair, and
his wife's picture that he did not stand to look at so he took it down. At
the same time the open door takes us through the old man's mind showing his
hope that someone will stop by his cottage some day and come in without
knocking.
Another incident that shows the isolation of the old man is the Terrace.

An Analysis Of The Yellow Wallpaper
.... the window present the dominant of men. The wife
observes that patterns of the parts where lights shine right at it is the
non-active parts. It symbolizes women are more settle when men are

a big contradicting point comparing this to our present society. Back then,
woman does not have much freedom. They are under man's hands. Secretly
they tired .....

Prejudice: Looking Through The Window

The most typical of all prejudice views is that of race. An
example of this is during Tom Robinsons trial. Tom was a black man accused
of raping a white woman, a crime that is punishable by the death penalty.
Even though all the facts proved that he didn't do it, the jury still found
him guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt". Tom's life has been sacrificed to
racism by the people who were there to protect him. The justice system
didn't allow this man to have a fair trial b .....

The Scarlet Letter: Hester's Isolation And Alienation
.... Having a heart blinded by love Hester choose to stay in the town and
wear the scarlet letter “A” instead of revealing the other adulterer. She
faced society only to protect and be close to the man she still loved. The
“impulsive and passionate nature” (54), which to Hester seemed pure and
natural had to be faced under humiliation alone, without the partner of sin.
It seemed as though she was paying not only her own consequence, but that
of her lovers as well. Saying so herself while standing on the s .....

You Just Don't Understand: The Differences In Men And Women
.... By providing her own evidence in an
example, Tannen limits some of her open-mindedness and replaces it with
bias.
The context of this example can affect the interpretation because
the reader knows nothing about the salesperson except for his profession.
The man might have feared the thought of losing his job if he had not known
how to fix Tannen's camera. The man's boss might have been standing next
to him when this incident occurred.
Tannen's interpretation of this example is that the salesper .....
