Sexuality In Wiseblood
.... for years to come. Haze reacted to the incident on different levels. Before watching the "show," he was filled with curiosity. So badly he wanted to view this "EXclusive" show. After glancing at the body, he first thought that it was a skinned animal. When he realized what it was, he at once left the tent, ashamed, and perhaps frightened of the object before his eyes.
Hazel’s reaction was not unnatural. The sight with which he was confronted would invoke both fear and embarassment within most ten-year .....

.... not recognize the feelings of others- as many young boys his age don’t realize. The unrecognizable feeling was ignorance towards others and the way they feel. Many times Huck could be found causing trouble for others.

Tom said he slipped Jim’s hat off his head and hung it on a limb right over him, and Jim stirred a little, but he didn’ .....

"A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings"
.... quite interesting, because he uses the angel to convey both a spiritual presence as well as an earthly desire to live well in the real world, which in turn ultimately enriches the main characters in the story, Pelayo and Elisenda. The author does not portray the divine as one might think. When a person thinks of an angel they think of a very elegant, beautiful figure usually clothed in white with a spiritual presence. Garcia does not portray angels in this typical way. In this story, "A Very Old Man with .....

A Separate Peace: Adolescence
.... allow them to be the best of friends or the worst of enemies. In this paper I intend to prove that Gene’s personality was gradually changed during the story by Phineas’ more outgoing personality.
While reading this story I was under the impression that Gene was a very smart person. Then once he began to spend time with Finny, the two boy’s personalities started to combine. Usually when this happened the boys did things that were against the rules. An example of this is when Finny talked .....

The Yellow Wallpaper: Going Crazy
.... where she can recover from severe postpartum depression. She loves her baby, but knows she is not able to take care of him. “It is fortunate Mary is so good with the baby. Such a dear baby! And yet I cannot be with him, it makes me so nervous”(Gilman 293). The symbolism utilized by Gilman is somewhat askew from the conventional. A house usually symbolizes security but in this story the opposite is true. The protagonist, whose name we never learn, feels trapped by the walls of the house, just as she .....

First Love: Vladimir's Voyage
.... when he hopelessly falls in love with the older and craftier Zinaida, it is only natural that his experience brims with romantic raptures and tribulations. He comes into the experience with ideal notions of romanticism which he acquires from the poetry and romantic literature that he reads in his childhood. "I would take a book with me - Kaidanov's lectures, for example - though I seldom opened it, and spent most of the time repeating lines of poetry aloud to myself - I knew a great many by then."( p. .....

A Meeting In The Dark: A Loss Of Priorities
.... Stanley and Susana wed because they "sinned" (98) and John was "the result of that sin" (98). The line "And he had been saved. John must not tread the same road" (99) means that his father was afraid that John would make the same mistake, which he has. Perhaps that is why he is so strict on his son.
John was a very selfish young boy. He is concerned more about himself and what he is losing than what is important. He sneaks out of his hut to go to the Makeno Village to see the mother of his unborn child, .....

Far From The Madding Crowd: Love Is Love Is Love
.... and eventually overcomes throughout her romantic escapades.
Initially, Bathsheba’s character was high-spirited, feminine, naïve and self-centered. This is the first impression she gives Gabriel Oak, who eventually becomes a suitor, when she encounters him at the beginning of the story. The first time Gabriel laid eyes on Bathsheba, she was gazing admiringly at her own reflection in her pocket mirror. Gabriel realized immediately that her greatest fault was “what it is always . . . vanity.”

Gimpel The Fool: Golde Vs. Elka
.... 42) This would quiet him immediately. Where Golde would silence Tevye because his speeches were tiresome to her, Elka would simply make fun of Gimpel, keeping him quiet because he did not know how or want to retaliate. “Look who’s here! He’s come, the drip. Grab a seat” (Singer 6). She belittled him all of the time.
Golde was more sarcastic, than mean, to Tevye. Tevye did not always have the opportunity to be a great provider for his family. This would upset/anger Golde. “A lot he need c .....

The Taming Of The Shrew
.... by the unspoken rules. The play ends with her conformance to the norms of society but it isn't a wholehearted choice, it's in her actions but not in her mind. Katherine assumes the role of an obedient, polite wife but she still retains her innate assertiveness. Katherine's being tamed is not a matter of her being cured of her shrewishness but rather her having learned to get along in a man's world.
In this play courtship and marriage aren't the result of love but rather an institution that .....
