Billy Budd 2
.... real, and complex in the different situations.
The narrator constantly makes allusions to the Bible and to Greek mythology, and this has the effect of elevating Billy’s story into a “symbolic drama.” The narrator also has the habit of straying, and he confesses that this weakness is a “literary sin.” One might find these acts to be distracting, but in fact when you stop to think why the narrator included them it sheds a certain light. Not only does the narrator keep changi .....

Lord Of The Flies, An Analysis
.... “‘Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!’” (152). The warriors do not recognize him for they immediately attack Simon as if he were a pig to be caught. Although they were hunters, this scene is merely a reenactment of their previous kill. Nevertheless, in this short moment of dramatization, violence occurs again. It is because of this that Simon, the savior, dies a martyr.
In addition, Jack commits the most horrifying deed of crushing Piggy and having the warriors hunt Ralph all over th .....

Five Ripe Pears And On Moralit
.... of the taking of the fruit, although nothing is said about him/her in the essay. Being a full-grown pear tree, “I couldn’t reach the pears, so I started leaping” (aspect of a large tree: having to leap to reach its branches) it seems clear that there are several other pears on the tree. As a result, the owner most likely would not be at loss for 5 measly pears. Verdict: Not guilty.
Case two: Saroyan as a child can be viewed as a victim. By this analysis he is a victim of 1) unmer .....

Looking For Alibrandi
.... Although Josie is struggling so hard to learn who she is, the first time she encounters her father, Michael Andretti, she forces him to make a promise that they will stay out of each others lives (Marchetta, 1992, p69). However, through circumstance and need, the latter mainly on Josie’s part, they are forced back into each other’s lives and eventually end up having a pretty good relationship.
The nature of this father/daughter relationship is most easily deriver from their dialogue, as their harsh acc .....

Les Miserables
.... to take in Cosette, but only so that they can later force Fantine to pay them endless expenses for Cosette’s well-being. Of course, the Thenardiers never intended for any of the money to be used on Cosette. Instead, they spend it on themselves and their own daughters.
The endless bills sent by the Thenardiers become so great, Fantine can barely support herself, because she sends all her money to Cosette. Eventually, the foreman of the factory learns Fantine has a daughter and no husband. Because of t .....

Les Miserables
.... through the rest of
the book. Other characters are changed but only toward the end of the book.
Thenardier is shown as an evil man throughout the book, but it is at the end
where he contributes to the apotheosis of the good; this is the law of life
as God planned it. Javert acts like a robot, deciding always according to the
letter of the law and not its spirit, but in the long run his strength
proves spiritual weakness, until the end of the book. At the winding up of
the book, .....

Langston Hughes - Poetry Analy
.... Hughes presents us with musical and effective language, an intense social statement, and a very important sense of equality, shocking us into reality.
Although “Theme for English B” was published in 1949, it has many of the characteristics that his earlier works from the Harlem Renaissance possessed. The rhythmic rhyming adds to the musicality of the poem. The language is simple, yet effective in making a very important social statement. An especially intense aura of American separatism is present throu .....

Life After Death
.... of these people.
The only strong comparison between the poets, in terms of structure and technique, is that the meaning of their poems run much deeper then the specific words on a page. Even this can come as a contrast when looking at these three poems. “Home Burial,” by Frost is a fairly straightforward poem, written in dialogue, with the writer working as the narrator. The poem is about a married couple dealing with the recent death of their son, who the husband had to bury in their own b .....

Lost Values (Macbeth)
.... and some will kill others. In the short story Champions, the narrator and Donnie kicked their opponents in soccer games in order to win. In many real-life situations, people often cheat in order to reach success. Professional sports players often eat steroids to accelerate their physical abilities. This also causes betrayal to the other players, and those who have faith in the player for victory. In the story The Metaphor, Charlotte betrays Miss Hancock whom has trusts Charlotte to be able to un .....

Lord Of The Flies Vs. Huck Fin
.... to except themselves, or some of the other boys that they trust. Although, the ones they trust are already fending for themselves. The characters all go through changes as they adjust to their new world, and become different people because of it. In example to this, Jack seems like a strong willed character at the start of the book, but the other boys never would have imagined he would turn into a cold blooded killer. Therefore, they must learn to take care of themselves for they can not depend on Jack o .....

Lysistrata
.... the men light a fire below the walls of the Akropolis, smoke pours out of the bundle of sticks, making it appear as if a fire has really been ignited. Fortunately the women are ready and the fire is extinguished and the men all doused with water, which is portrayed well with buckets and actions that look as if the men are being driven away by the water. When Kinesias comes to see Myrrhine, and they head off to Pan’s cave, the stage lighting is dimmed to give the effect of the darkness of being in a cave. .....

Literary Analysis
.... forgets Roseline and falls in love with Juliet.
Friar Laurence clearly states this to Romeo:
“Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, so soon forsaken? Young men’s love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes”.
This is exactly how Romeo behaves. Juliet on the other hand had to marry Count Paris so her love with Romeo is simply a way to get out of it. She never had a relationship with a man and she didn’t like to have her first and only relationship with a man her parents arr .....

Lais Of Marie De France
.... when unfurled.” (p.45) Upon boarding the ship Guigemar became aware of the fact that it was empty. “He rode forward, dismounted and in great pain climbed aboard expecting to find men in charge. But the ship was deserted and he saw no one.” (p.45) Not only does the mysteriousness of the deserted ship keep with the isolation of the “other world” it also represents isolation itself as another immediate factor. It was the isolation of this magic ship that led Guigemar to his love.
It is interesting to .....

Lies And Deceit
.... was rich and famous. This time Tom’s false identity was more serious because his ended in tragedy and deceit, Lucentio’s ended with him getting Bianca.
A comedy ends differently than a drama in that a comedy everything is normal at the end order in the world is restored, but at the end of a drama tragedy occurs usually in murder but also with betrayal. The Talented Mr. Ripley ends with Tom’s lies being exposed, people getting killed and people being betrayed by Tom. In The Taming Of The Shrew the .....
