The Advantures Of Huck. Fin
.... readers to contemplate of how foolish it is that a person can be judged on his outside appearance, rather than who the individual is on the inside.
In conclusion, the lesson to be taught by Mark Twain is that people often pre-judge others based on their exterior and not what counts on the interior. He does this satirically by making Jim an irresistibly lovable character because of how deep his feelings are, making the reader feel these insights as well. This is a lesson that can unquestionably be appl .....

The Great Gatsby- Jay Gatsby V

Run With The Horsemen
.... the rhythm of the plowing, which makes it seem more real than just saying that the mule plowed up and down the row. All this plowing happened as, “Over and above and beyond and around could be heard bird song.” The imagery of a man plowing in the heat with birds singing away comes to mind, and the scene is real.
Run with the Horsemen very accurately describes farm life during the depression through the use of humor, diction, and imagery. All of these elements are used to tie the story together, and m .....

Medea Vs. Hedda Gabbler
.... what she must, coming out as the victor in the end. Hedda, however, comes out quite differently. Hedda’s fear of scandal really prevents her from having any strong hold on the situation that will turn out successfully. This is proven in the end when Hedda commits suicide-she has lost control and is not strong enough to handle the ensuing scandal. Although out of the two actions, the worst seems to be Medea’s, it is also Medea’s actions that merit the most excuse as defense. She was having everythi .....

The American Dream, And All It
.... for all people to become rich, since wealth is
based largely on social position, and classes prevent the poor from becoming successful.
“One thing’s sure and nothing’s surer / The rich get richer and the poor get -- children”
(Fitzgerald 101). Myrtle’s attempt to break into the class which the Buchanans belong to
is doomed from the start. She enters into an affair with Tom, takes on all the negative
qualities of his social group, and not only becomes corrupt and immoral, but she scorns
people fr .....

The site is 1,000 feet under water which is shallow compared tot he rest of the pacific. At the site there was a huge grid on lights and a massive metallic fin sticking up out of the grid. It was part of the craft and it looked like nothing I have ever seen. We settled into he habitat it was more comfortable then I though it would be it h .....

Cats Cradle
.... Crosbys, who are still alive. From then on they live on the barren earth and wait to die. The book ends with John finally seeing Bokonon, a weak, dying man laughing in a thick snow of ice-nine.
Most of the book was set on the island of San Lorenzo. Kurt Vonnegut did this so that he could create a new religion, Bokononism. Bokononism is a ridiculous religion, yet all the people of San Lorenzo put faith in it. It is not the truth of a religion that matters; it is the hope that you draw forth from it. A wom .....

Wuthering Heights
.... the home to Mr. Earnshaw, Hindley, Joseph, Nelly, Heathcliff and Catherine.
At Thrushcross Grange, consisted of the Lintons with two children name Edgar
and Isabel. The plot in this story starts off simple as the reader would think that
this story is just another one of those stories which the disadvantage guy falls in
love with the girl he loves and ends up getting married. True, but the plot that
built up this ending is what made this story truly special. The characters of Nelly,
Cathy (d .....

Dunny Takes The Fifth
.... not have been born premature and
almost still. Ramsay took it upon himself to educate Paul, though the
material he used to do this with was highly unheard of, in order to help
reduce some of the guilt Dunstan still had with Pauls birth. This new interest
of magic and saints is what later led Paul to chose the path he did when he
ran away from home. Dunstan greatly altered Pauls life without it ever
serving more than the purpose of just moving his life along.
A lot of the eve .....

Lord Of The Flies
.... body and the creatures around it also show his holiness. Light images of the creatures that surround Simon glorify his body, and as light falls on his corpse he is transfigured into an icon of expiation. Also, the water covers Simon in a “coat of pearls” and “creatures” (interpreted to symbolize angels) begin to spread a layer of silver over him. The apotheosis of Simon is complete, as he becomes completely silver. As Simon’s body is carried out to sea, the angels create a halo (phosphorescence .....

The Sniper
.... he was trying to shoot the “enemy” sniper, showing the intense excitement he felt. He has such a lust for battle that he even stops eating! The sniper also begins to see all others as “the enemy”- the woman in the shawl, an innocent citizen, is seen as an enemy to him because she tipped off the tank commander (which she probably did for her own safety). War has psychologically changed the sniper to refer to all others not on his “side” as the enemy.
The sniper develops insensitivity to death during th .....
