Frankenstein
.... stop them
from enjoying what has been provided for them.
Society itself which is supposed to be good is actually ignorant. They
wrongly treat the monster on the assumption that he actually is a monster.
They scorn, attack, and shun the monster just because of his outward
appearance. This is not justified by anything except his demeanor. They
are also afraid of it because they are afraid of things about which they
no nothing. Society also unjustly kills Justine because she is the only
person that co .....

Symbolism In Lord Of The Flies
.... the most significant. Another good
example of symbolism, brought to my attention by a site visitor, is the
shape of the island. The boat shape of the island is an ancient symbol of
civilization. The water current around the island seems to be "flowing
backwards," giving the subtle impression that civilization may be going
backwards for the island or its inhabitants. Additionally, another reader
pointed out that Jack could also represent Communism or Fascism. Golding
was influenced by events during t .....

Inman
.... is never a good time to fall apart. He thought of Ada. He thought
that maybe she could save him from his troubles and redeem him from the
past four years in the war. He was trying not to listen to the voices in
his head, but he couldn't avoid them. They told him that it was possible
to be lost in bitterness and anger that you are no longer able to find your
way out. Inman finally got up from his slumber and continued on his
journey. Inman would never have been able to follow the track if it

.... standards. He shows the dark side or evil part of ones personality
. While Dr. Jekyll is unable to allow this part of his personality to show
when he is with his friends, by creating a new being for himself, he is
able to express himself without being judged as Dr. Jekyll. Hyde contains
all of the dark feelings of Dr. Jekyll, he is the alter ego. One can
distinguish this characterization from the description of Hyde. >"Mr.
Hyde was pale and dwarfish; he gave an impression of deformity without any

To Kill A Mockingbird: Wearing Masks
.... his [Jem's] behavior may have been wrong in some
respects, she was right to recognize he wasn't acting his usual self.
I believe these behavioral changes may have been because of Jem
acquiring a mask. He began wearing this mask around the start of his
teenage years, as a result of pressures from peers, and a fear of not being
accepted. Even in these different social and economic times, the 1930's,
issues like popularity and social acceptance were real and present, just as
they are today.It is true that ma .....

Visions Of The Future
.... and scientific theories. The formation of the empirical
method , reason, and the laws of nature such as mathematical formulas,
brought about more sense of thinking. Great thinkers and mathematicians
such as Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Bacon, Descartes, Newton, etc., are
just of the few who expanded ideas. They began to use the inductive
method as a step-by-step to their understandings. The new outlook
generated by the Scientific Revolution served as the foundation of the
Enlightenmen .....

Critical Summary: Descartes' Meditations I, II, And VI
.... who may potentially deceive him in everything he appears to
observe and think about. His consideration of this is valid and necessary,
however I might point out one fault. The mere fact that he continues
optimistically in his pursuits after the considerations in this section
shows his implicit belief that he is not being deceived in his current or
future deliberations on the matter. This simple fact seems to contradict
the very essence of this meditation.
The Second Meditation continues to address .....

The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn
.... brush his teeth, and even go to bed at a certain hour.
Huckleberry knew when Widow Douglas spoke he had better listen, or there
would be consequences. He said, “When the Widow rung a bell for supper,
and you had to come on time. When you got to the table you couldn’t go
right to eating, but you had to wait for the Widow to tuck down her head
and grumble a little over the vicuals...”
Huck actually got used to living that way, and liked it for a while.
Until one day he said, “The Widow Douglas she to .....

To Be A Slave: Analysis
.... slaves had to face was the auction block.
Most of the young children were sold off before their mothers even had a
chance to raise them. Slaves were sold and split away from families all the
time. Most slave mothers lost most, if not all of their children to
complete strangers who had fat wallets and no consideration. The children
would be raised into bondage and be kept in shackles most of their lives. A
slave named Charles Ball is a perfect example of this monstrosity. His life
was going well in .....

The Scarlet Letter: The Theme Of Punishment
.... she does the job willingly and rarely ever looks back to the
horrid past behind. The scarlet letter was constantly worn by Hester with
pride and dignity. Hester knew that what was done in the past was wrong
and that the scarlet A was the right thing to do, therefor it is worn with
a sense of pride.
The child, Pearl, is "a blessing and as a reminder of her sin." As
if the scarlet A were not enough punishment there "was a brat of that
hellish breed" which would remind Hester of what happe .....

The Ambivalent Relationship Of Nick And Gatsby
.... praise
Gatsby and belittle him. Such as when he describes Gatsby’s attire as a “
gorgeous pink rag of a suit...” (162) Nick is constantly putting Gatsby
down in his mind. “Gatsby who represented everything for which I have an
unaffected scorn.” (6)
Carraway is curious about Gatsby, he can’t quite figure out whether
or not Gatsby is lying because Gatsby resists classification (Donaldson134).
Nick can almost forgive Gatsby for going after Daisy because of his
extraordinary commitment to his dream(Donaldson .....
