Fire And Ice
.... seems to represent the tendency of people to be impatient. The way many people of today are, they can not wait. They must have what they want, and they must have it now. That is one of the main purposes of a loan. Someone wants a car, but does not want to take the time to save the money. They instead borrow the money and have to pay it back, of course at a higher cost with interest. I can honestly say that a huge majority of people are in debt. They could not wait. They had to have something .....

Fire And Ice - Compared To 4 Other Poems
.... man trying to blow a piece of dirt off the paper. Then the piece of dirt starts moving, as he sees what he believes to be a dot on the paper but really to be a mite. The old man then starts to think about the value of life. The theme of the poem is that there is no such thing as an insignificant speck. Everything and everyone has a purpose for being here. This poem is filled with alliteration. Some examples I found are: cunning crept, tenderer-than-thou, and breathing blown (Silberner 98). Mind is repe .....

First Meditation
.... Descartes makes it seem as if the evil demon coexists with God. Therefore, when his mind is being deceived or being given false information it is not from God but from the evil demon. From this skeptical argument, one would come to doubt the existence of the external world. If an evil demon really existed there would be the possibility that the only part of our being that exists would be our minds, in whatever form that maybe, probably incorporeal. Therefore meaning that the world that we live .....

Flappers
.... which Gatsby has. (Magill, pg. 90) " 'Can't repeat the past?' he cried incredulously. 'Why of course you can!' " (Fitzgerald, pg. 116) This quote is clearly foreshadowing almost the entire book. It foreshadows Gatsby's attempts to woe Daisy for Tom and tries to make things the way they were before he left for the army . It also alludes to the fact that he must be rich and powerful to do that. Overall, it shows that he destroys himself trying to get Daisy back from Tom Buchanan. In the beginning of .....

Flea
.... reader with greater impact than the rest of the poem. Images of "deserts of vast eternity" and "virginity" together instill the idea that it will be hard to
prolong virginity, and it would be better to give in now.
The poem is mostly written in iambic tetrameter, and flows softly and easily, much like a nursery rhyme. All the lines do not conform to the same format, however. While most lines contain eight syllables, some have more. Line 27 uses nine syllables, as does line .....

Flight
.... along the road until his granddaughter swinging on the gate underneath a frangipani tree. Her hair fell down her back in a wave of sunlight ; and her long bare legs repeated the angles of the frangipani stems, bare, shinning brown stems among patterns of pale blossoms.\" We follow the movement of his eyes that see her as a shinning light that illuminates his life to which he is addicted. Moreover, Lessing\'s detailed description gives us a clear picture of every event such as the grandfather\'s obsess .....

.... him. "...Why? Because all of the sudden your a bigshot. You think you are better than the rest of us..." Charlie then realized that he had no friends but merely knew people that made fun of him. The bakery employees just liked him because they could blame their mistakes on Charlie. Then, they could not do this after the operation, so they all turned against Charlie. "...I had to find out just how much they knew. I found out. Nothing..." "Both frauds" Charlie also found out about Nemur and Strauss. He r .....

At the end of the book, Charlie realizes that the retarded boy who lay hidden inside his sub-conscious deserved a chance to live his life...although it may not be on the same intellectual level as others in our society. Maybe the operation shouldn't have even been performed in the first place? Maybe the nurse was right when she said that we should simply appreciate what God gave us and li .....

.... sick and die." That is where in his own way Daniel Keyes is saying we shouldn’t try and play God , and change human flaw. If Charlie never he was slower then the wouldn’t want more intelligent. When Charlie first found out that Algernon’s intelligence had started disintegrating, Charlie was trying really hard to figure out why and how to stop it. "I’ve got to find the reason for the sharp regression in Algernon. I’ve got to know if and when it will happen to me." Charlie had a fear of becoming slow again .....

I couldn't do it..." He experienced illusions when he tried to make love with Alice. The "Charlie" inside of himself emerged and started to regain control of his mind.

Flowers For Algernon
.... deeply for Charlie, in this radio play, she believes Charlie is a " very fine person," but Charlie feels more than respect for Ms Kinnian. As Charlie's emotions develop, he realises that he is "in love with Ms Kinnian." It is questionable, however, if Charlie really does love Ms Kinnian, or just thinks he does for she is the one person that understands him.
In the beginning of the radio play, Charlie believes he has wonderful friends, who he has fun with and who are very nice people. Meanwhile, Jo .....

Flowers For Algernon
.... described Charlie best when he said, "But most people of his low mentality are hostile and uncooperative. They are usually dull, apathetic, and hard to reach. He has a good nature. He’s interested and eager to please". If a person is doing the best they can for the circumstances, isn’t that the best? Why should a person feel pressured to be what he isn’t capable of being? After the operation, Charlie first doesn’t even want to try, then can’t remember what it means to try, and finally, .....

Flying Home
.... "blackland" is confusing to Todd. He doesn’t know just who he is, since in his mind, acting white was always the right thing to do to get ahead. The fact that he is hardly different than Jefferson bothers him, and plays with his self-image. The image of the mask that Ellison creates is only one of the examples of symbolism that is frequently used in the story. Another profound symbol he uses is the circling buzzards that are always soaring above the field in which Todd crashed his plane. The buz .....

Follow Your Heart

After Olga finished Grammar School she told her father that she "intended to go to the University of Rome." Her father wouldn't consider sending his daughter to the University, and the quote "as was custom in those days, I obeyed without a murmur" proves to us that Olga really wanted to go to University, but didn't follow her dreams because her father wouldn't allow her to.
