Daddy, Vampires, And Dark Hearts
.... of gloom and suffocation.
Like many women in society, we know that Plath felt oppressed and stifled throughout her life by her use of the simile "I have lived like a shoe for thirty years poor and white, barely able to breath or Achoo." The use of similes and metaphors such as "Chuffing me off like a Jew. A Jew to Dachau, Auschwitz, Belson." and "I think I may well be a Jew" clearly shows the feelings of anguished hopelessness and the ripping agony she must have felt. The agelessness of this poem .....

Daisy Miller
.... I'll never understand them. The End. Theme Basically, all of James’ novels have the same theme, American vs. European. I found many other themes. Innocence vs. Knowledge; Utility vs. Form and ceremony; Spontaneity vs. Ritual; Chaos vs. Order. Point of View The story is told through Winterbourne’s eyes. It’s 1st person. I wanted it to be more complicated, but it is not. Literary Devises Foreshadowing is used throughout the book. For example, everyone keeps telling Daisy to take her medicine or she will .....

Damsels In Address
.... integrated throughout the text of the three tales provide strong evidence as to the desired morals and values of the society in which the tales were written. Through the examination of tales, their inherent messages surface.
Children’s perceptions of fairytales can go a long way towards shaping social interactions among said children. Passivity is a major player in the personalities of Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. Rapunzel relies completely on a determined prince to escape her imp .....

Damsels In Address
.... beauty and eventual success (386). Beauty, however, hides within Cinderella’s actions. The words, "After leaving her slipper at the ball she has nothing more to do but stay home and wait," expressions of description, Lieberman suggests that Cinderella exhibits at the core of her emotions, meekness (389). Cinderella’s submissiveness is rewarded with the introduction of the prince and her eventual happily ever after status. Rewards only pertain to those who have struggled, and therefore prove w .....

Dantes Inferno
.... a few characters. Virgil acts as Dante's mentor and guide, leading him through the intricate levels of Hell. Although Virgil is Dante's mentor, Dante, himself, acts as a mentor for some of the souls in Hell. He informs them as to what is happening in the land of the living. The sinners also function as mentors by telling Dante about themselves, their sins and about Hell. In the following passage Dante asks Farinata to tell him about Tegghiacio: "... still let me urge you on to speak a little fu .....

Darkness At Noon
.... the person died. Lead was also a common backing for mirrors during that time. This fact could be used to say that these leaded cloaks truly mirrored how bogus these hypocrites’ true natures were. Hypocrisy is prevalent in today’s modern society. Even Bill Clinton, the president of the world’s most powerful country is a world-renown hypocrite. His extramarital relationships have shown him to be a hypocrite of various categories. At one time he said to Monica Lewinsky, his latest mistress, that he .....

Darkness At Noon
.... But for him the most painful of all of his sacrifices, was his surrendering of in his secretary and lover, Arlova. Rubashov suffered much as he antagonized over weather this was in fact the correct choice to be made. The pain felt by Rubashov over this decision was amplified by his witnessing his old friend being taken much the same way as Avolora.
After finishing this book I was amazed at how I did not feel any type of dislike towards Rubashov. He was someone who allowed others to take falls w .....

Darkness Be My Friend
.... into - not that it was his house anyway - but the fact that we were living in a dead man's house.
And, of course the fact that I'd killed him. I didn't know his name either. Weird: two guys who figured prominently in my life, and they were both nameless to me."
"A slow awareness came over me, a kind of burning, as I realised. Yes, it was because of the boy in New Zealand and the man who lived in this house. And because I'd screamed at the soldier in the street. And because I'd left the door open a .....

David Copperfield
.... of personal memory' but we have to keep in mind the full original title: 'The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, and Observation of David Copperfield, the Younger, of Bluderstone Rookery. (Which he never meant to published on any account.) This complete title strongly suggests that this is one man's story written for himself. It was also supposed to 'never have been published on any account.' Later in chap 42 this condition is repeated: 'this manuscript is intended for no eyes but mine.' Of course .....

Dawn
.... "Movement" always kept their word.
A month earlier there was one of their fighters that had been on a terrorist operation. He was hauled in by the police and they found weapons on him.
They hung the man. By law this is what they were supposed to do. This was the tenth death sentence by the mandatory power in Palestine. The "Old Man" decided that things had gone far enough and now he was not going to allow the English to rule any longer.
The Old Man ordered that a military officer be kidnapped. They .....

Dawn
.... She stabbed him at the climax of the book. This added closure to her dreams and desires. She finally got what she wanted, the officer and a free Israeli state. This book relates to Elie Wiesel’s life because they both had to deal with and feel the struggles of the Holocaust. Some reviewers consider his plots and characters more vehicle for rhetorical concerns and questions whether his fiction is art or polemick. His writings sustain the plea that death deserves no more victories and that evil should .....

Dead Boy
.... her child. These people have to see her weep, yet still talk of a horrid child. This is an unjustifiable act on their part.
The paragraph that is probably the most sincere is that of the elder men. They speak of the child's death hurting their hearts. They realize that this child should not have been taken away like he was. A chance at life was all he needed, and was not granted this. However they can't change what has happened and must live with this pain in their heart.
The last para .....

Dead Man Walking
.... would seemingly change. My eyes fixated on the movie screen, while my heart, soul, and mind slowly began to wander into the life of a murderer, but more importantly, a human-being.
Dead Man Walking truly captivated my conscience and made me think about the controversial standing of Capital Punishment. The movie appropriately portrayed two sides of the coin. Not only were we enlightened by Sr. Helen's compassion for Matthew, but we were also witnesses to the overwhelming feelings of grief and de .....

Dead Poets Society
.... they have been told, they are successful in life.
The new English teacher, Mr. Keating, challenges his students to think for themselves and to resist conformity. He most memorably illustrates how easily conformity affects people during his lesson involving a stroll in the courtyard. He instructs three of his pupils to walk around the courtyard. The three boys march in unison, and the remainder of the pupils begin to clap in time with the marching. He asks why the boys are clapping, and they do not .....
