Swimming Alone
.... to disassociate from her lower class, dysfunctional family. Her motivation to improve herself and her circumstances become the main focus of the film. She believes that if she is accepted by these girls as a peer, her life will improve and she would have "made it". Her desire for a wedding represents both an escape from her present life and also the opportunity of peer acceptance and social standing within the community.
Through the use of symbols it becomes obvious that Muriel is more concerned .....

Sympathy
.... and over again. Both the bird and the African Americans desire for freedom never died down, only grew stronger and more relentless. American slavery produced some fearless and implacable revolutionaries. From the first thousand slaves that created Gabriel’s Conspiracy in 1800 to Nat Turner in 1831 and many instances that still occur today, African American never stopped fighting or gave up hope. Dunbar’s "Sympathy" evokes compassion in the reader by comparing the image of a caged bird to the life .....

T.S. Eliot
.... anonymous as the editor of the Criterion. In a letter to a fellow co-worker, Edmund Wilson, he asked him to never reveal that he was the editor of The Criterion. Elliot feared that if it was announced that he was editor then it would jeopardize his job at the bank, and he could not afford to lose his job due to the fact he was not receiving payment for his editorship (Margolis 22). Elliot had always been far removed from any religious convictions, but in the early 1920’s his work started to show some sign .....

T.S. Elliot - The Hollow Men
.... death's other kingdom." These people are made real by Eliot's repeated mention of their eyes. He refers to them first as making their crossing into death with "direct eyes," meaning that they faced and succumbed to death, unable to turn away. Also he states they have "eyes I dare not meet in dreams," indicating that this narrator fears addressing death, either his own or those who have "crossed." Later in the poem, in part IV, Eliot returns to the eyes imagery with "The eyes are not here/There .....

Tales Of The New Babylon
.... in depth, and although overburdened with the sheer weight of the documentary material, Zola took great care not to lose sight of the individual in the vast panorama. Conscious of the danger of having the two armies emerge as his heroes, he constructed the novel in such a way as to protect the individuality of several dozen characters through whose eyes the action would be seen : "each character represents one état d’âme psychologique of the France of the day" . He did this by a .....

Taming Of The Shrew
.... but as she reach her goal, to be married her true self appears. She becomes insensitive and unkind by not coming at the call of Lucentio. In the other word she becomes almost what her sister was. By making this contrast Shakespeare developed the theme that we can not decide about people by only look at them because, what a person really is, is more important than how they look or how they seems they are.
One of the other important contrasts in this play that is help to develop theme is the con .....

Tartuffe
.... Orgon is so caught up in his own perception of Tartuffe as a saint, and all that Tartuffe does. It is as if Tartuffe can do no wrong.
When Orgon's son Damis tells his father what he has overheard and that Tartuffe was making advances toward Elmire. Orgon is so upset with Damis, that he disowns his son, and exiles his son from the house and the property. Because of this passion Orgon is stupid and blind to all that is going on around him.
Despite the protestations of his sensible brother-in-law C .....

.... observes her from afar viewing her as an untouchable dream girl. A few days pass and Bickle gathers the courage to walk confidently in to the campaign headquarters, of presidential candidate Charles Palatine, where his crush, Betsy (played by Cybil Sheppard) works. He says he wants to volunteer in order to talk to her and when she says ok he tells her that he is not really interested in volunteering but wants to take her out for coffee and pie.

Tender Mercies
.... as a sober, clean man with the willingness to achieve responsibility. It was as if a caterpillar had died and had emerged as a butterfly. With their help, Mac had the ability to recognize life by becoming sober and starting all over. He, thus, learns that Rosa Lee, his new wife, and Sunny, his stepson, are way too important to him to ever start drinking again. Being acquainted with such a situation and how Mac was given another chance to start over his life, the reader, thus, has come to see an o .....

Tenets Of Wordsworth In Resolution And Independence
.... an example that he wants to duplicate.
Resolution and Independence includes many tenets of Romanticism including a love of the past. Wordsworth loves the storm of the previous night and the "rain-drops" on the moors that it leaves behind (10). Wordsworth loves the old man, because the old man has so much knowledge from his past experiences. The poet enjoys reminiscing on past experiences:
I was a Traveler then upon the moor I saw the hare that raced about with joy;
I heard the woods and distant w .....

Tennessee Williams - Outcasts In His Plays
.... of Honor from the National Arts Club (1975); the $11,000 Commonwealth Award (1981); and an honorary doctorate from Harvard University (1982). He was honored by President Carter at Kennedy Center in 1979, and named Distinguished Writer in Residence at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, in 1981.
In addition to kudos from critics, Williams held for many years the attention of audiences in America and abroad. By 1955 his reputation was firmly established; that year's Broadway producti .....

Tess - Fatalism

Another example of Tess's awareness of being ill fated is when she meets Alec. Tess laments about her fate: "Had she perceived this meeting's import she might have asked why she was doomed to be seen and converted that day by the wrong man, and not by some other man, the right and desired one in all respects (75). She may not have known what to call it, but she definitely applies the .....

The Abstract Wild
.... the aura, and the wildness
of that place. Nature magazines, photographs, and films all contribute to the removal of our wild
experience with nature. It is the difference between visiting the Grand Canyon after you have
seen it on TV and read about it in magazines, or never having heard of the place and stumbling
across it on your own during a hike. Unfortunately, almost every wild experience between
nature and the public has been ruined by the media. Through Turner’s story he begins to e .....

The Accidental Tourest
.... begins to weigh him down, and is twisting his back out of line, finally he decides that there is not anything in it worth going through the pain of carrying it, so he leaves it on the curb and moves on. I think that Tyler uses this as a symbol of Macon\'s relationship with Sarah. It seems as though Sarah is weighing Macon down, and causing him pain by preventing him from being with his true love, Muriel. Just as his bag is weighing him down, and preventing him from getting home, where he really wants to be .....

The Accidental Tourist
.... nothing to be left to chance. When travelling, he only takes what he can carry on to the plane, to eliminate the risk of lost luggage, as well as taking his own travel sized soap powder so that he can clean his clothes without having to worry about foreign laundries and their detergents. His aim is to control his life - to make sure that nothing can ever go wrong, to make sure that nothing can break through his protective \'cocoon\'. Macon\'s desire to control his own life in such a regimented way is pro .....
