Hero In Hemingways Writing
.... spell out that Jake was an observer and was thus aware of what was written on the pages. There is a scene towards the end of the book where Jake finds all of his friends eating at a restaurant and thinks to himself that he is too far behind to catch up. Jake always seems behind, or at least only a marginal player put so in his position because of his injury. He must have had relations with Brett before the injury and was a "player" before it, so this leads to the assumption that Jake purposely removed him .....

Hester Prynne
.... life. The Puritans do not take her feelings into account. They are people that take things as being right or wrong. Committing adultery is seen as wrong in the Bible, and therefore Puritans do not care of the circumstances. The Puritans
are grim, forbidding people. Nonetheless they have a degree of dignity and authority. They lack sympathy and discrimination. In their eyes all crimes are equal.
Hester is punished by the Puritan society by wearing the scarlet letter A on the bosom of her dress .....

Hills Like White Elephants
.... made were empty. The man and the girl are a contradiction to each other. First, the man saw the girl's pregnancy as a disease that had to be cured, the girl saw pregnancy as a blessing to bring her closer to him. Second, he does not want her at all except for sex, the girl saw a strong possibility of commitment, romantic ideals, and marriage. The sadness is that these couple will not see the consequence until it too late. In this writing, love is like licorice, which it is bitter. "Hills like White Ele .....

.... the girl is under, and not being the person who has to have the operation, he could say that easily. However, if he really cared about her, he should listen to her inner thoughts. There should be a more serious and honest conversation between these people. The girl should not compromise if it bothers her, and she should clearly state what she thinks. What the girl wants is not the sweet words such as, “I love you now,” or “I care about you,” but real action where he shows his .....

Historical Roots Of Macondo An
.... Did Marquez write this book to paste it on history as an example of a
history not to be repeated again, to paste it as a warning. As the second part of this assay, I want to focus on gypsies since they construct an other culture other than the inhabitants of Macondo. To find out the importance of this distinct, nomadic gypsy culture will enable the reader to make a comparison between gypsies and their contact with civilization, and Buendia family and their failure within their solitude. In other wo .....

History Of The Detective Novel
.... read, and reread.
But undoubtedly the originator of the modern day detective story was Edgar Allan Poe. Although he is best know as a poet, he was also considered the founder of the detective story. His five mystery short stories introduced many of the conventions and cliches that the genre would later become famous for.
His greatest contribution was the creation of his detective C. Auguste Dupin, who appeared in three of Poe's works. Dupin was the first character of his kind, a man who reli .....

Homer 2
.... It begins in the
“in media res” faion. That accualy trancelates to, in the
middle of things, so that means Homer began his books in
the middle of what was happening. The Iliad is set in the
final year of the Trojan War. Ittells of an episode in the
trojen war, the wrath of Archilles and its tragic
consequences, including the deaths of Patroclus and Hector.
The Odyssey, beginning ten years after the fall of
Troy, tells of Odysseus’s wanderings on his way home to
Ithaca, .....

Homers Vision Of The Duality O
.... disgust upon reading such passages. Homer constantly reminds us that someone who just moments ago was a glorious and splendid human being is now just a dead corpse, food for the scavenging birds and animals. In the Greek mind, death is the ultimate and absolute end and nothing good can ever come after it. Everything a man might have or could have achieved in life is utterly meaningless. The only thing which possesses any value now is the shell of his bronze armour. Homer is forever willing to port .....

Honest Iago
.... of the words. Does Coleridge mean to say that Iago cannot help himself from being evil or does he mean that what Iago did was without motive? For the sake of this discussion, Coleridge intends the later.
Abbott states "in truth character is what a person is; reputation is what he is supposed to be." (Websters) Is Iago evil? No, he is not. Walter Lippmann says that "evil is not a quality of things as such. It is a quality of our relation to them." (Websters) Iago is not opposed to good (a parti .....

Honesty And Reputation In Othe
.... experiences or knowledge of others to make judgments about them. Iago used this to his advantage to manipulate everyone. He was a great deceiver.
Honesty can be a way of life for many people. For some it can define all that they really are and for others it can define how they view all of their peers, friends, and family. But whichever way you cut it, honesty can affect you greatly and every solitary day. This idea was one of the most specific and open parts of the plot of William Shakespeare's .....

With all of the male characters changing their identities, Shakespeare tried to portray the women as being ignorant and not realizing what was going on. With at least two major characters changing parts to get closer to their loved ones, the women seemed to be clueless. Shakespeare portrayed these women as being easily tricked. While it seemed like all the men were trying to suit Bianca, Petru .....

How Society Effects Human Natu
.... Later, when the bishop found out that Valjean stole his silver, he wasn't mad, but offered all of his silver to Valjean saying, "Don't forget that you promised me to use this silver to become an honest man." Thénardier, on the other hand, is the exact opposite of the bishop. He represents the corruptive nature of society. He's the one that changes people for the bad. An example of how Thénardier represents greed and evil is how he mistreated Cosette when he was taking care of her. He made her wash and cle .....
