The Breakfast Club
.... done. In the middle of the movie, Andrew began to notice that she was in need and want of attention. She went so far as to make up stories, and say that she was a pathological lier, just to get people to pay more attention to her. She also did some very different things that I have never seen any normal girl do. Usually, a girls purse is a private object that carries personal items. I’ve never seen any girl just literally dump all of the contents out of her purse and onto the couch. To me, she need .....

The Bridge Of San Luis Rey. By Thornton Wilder
.... the wonderful premise behind Wilder’s examination of the connected lives of these five people. Several of them never actually meet, any more than we "meet" people with whom we happen to ride an elevator but, each of them knows someone who knows one of the other victims. Wilder goes on to clear up the stories of their lives, devoting a chapter to each of the major characters: The old woman, The Marquesa; The young man, Esteban; and the old man, Uncle Pio. (The other two victims, the young maid Pe .....

The Broken Heart
.... it is only a short period of time. According to Donne, love is very powerful and causes the widespread destruction to thousands.
Donne also uses the image of despair and depression. In the second stanza, he says "Ah, what a trifle is a heart, if once into love’s hands it come!" In these lines Donne gives us the image of a hand of love and a big heart touching it. Once the heart touches the hand, it begins to shrink because love has devoured it. Also by saying this, Donne reali .....

The Brothers K
.... the real humdinger, see, is that I tried for CO status, being a Christian and all. And weird things happened. And…well…I didn’t get it." Page 358

The amount of sorrow and emotions felt by the Chance family, and for that matter, all families who had children, brothers, husbands, or fathers, drafted into what many felt was a needless war. The novel brings to life what heartache many .....

On his ride to wherever he was going, Buck\'s pride was severely damaged, if not completely wiped out by men who used tools to restrain him.

.... refuses and has to be carried off and dropped. When Charles and Hal set up camp, they have to go back and pick up Mercedes, who thinks she should be carried to Dawson City. Charles and Hal shouldn’t have brought her along, all she was a hindrance. Jack London creates a good description of what is weak in a civilized society.
Buck was betrayed by a friend because someone needed sled dogs to go to the Yukon to mine for gold. Sacks of gold depict the idea of capitalism and the temporary feeling o .....

The Cask Of Amatillado
.... his victim has in wine to lure him into the catacombs to taste some of his non- existent amontillado. At this point, the reader knows the conflict will be one of man against man. It is an external struggle because Fortunato and Montresor are in a life and death fight. However, the conflict is largely internal, because Montresor has a fierce hatred that Fortunato is unaware of. The narrative hook seems to occur when Fortunato follows Montresor into the vault. Even if the reader was confused by the .....

The Cask Of Amontillado
.... that the probable outcome, will be Montresor getting revenge on Fortunato.
2)How readable and interesting is the style?
Poe\'s style is interesting, but somewhat difficult to read in the beginning. At the start of the story, Poe develops the plot of the story in a difficult manner. For example, Poe writes, \"It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.\" He could have just said in simpler terms, the revenge has to make to h .....

The Cask Of Amontillado: The Dangers Of Pride
.... shows him his trowel. The implication is that Montressor is a stonemason--that is, that he will be building things out of stones and mortar: namely Fortunato\'s grave.
Irony is also widely used throughout Poe\'s great story. In fact, even the mode of revenge in this story shows irony. Montressor avenges himself by fooling his victim into literally walking into his own grave. Fortunato pursues the \"cask\" which ends up being his own casket. Montressor even asks Fortunato repeatedly whether he would .....

The Cask Of The Amontillado - Revenge
.... crafted to create the desired effect. Poe writes this story from the perspective of Montresor who vows revenge against Fortunato in an effort to support his time-honored family motto: \"Nemo me impune lacessit\" or \"No one assails me with impunity.\" (No one can attack me without being punished.) Poe does not intend for the reader to sympathize with Montresor because Fortunato has wronged him, but rather to judge him. Telling the story from Montresor\'s point of view, intensifies the effect of moral sho .....

The Cathedral

category that he labels abnormal, which stops him from seeing the blind man as an individual.
The narrator’s reaction to Robert’s individuality shows his stereotypical views. The narrator assumed Robert did not do certain things, just because he was blind. When he first saw Robert his reaction was simple: "This blind man, feature this, he was wearing a full beard! A beard on a blind man! Too much, I say .....

The Caucasian Chalk Circle
.... of Grusha\'s trial. The emperor is portrayed as the epitome of justice and gives a true verdict. The trial scene is also adapted from the parable of King Solomon. Solomon the paragon of justice and truth oversees the trial of two mothers, one child is dead the other alive, they seek custody of the alive child. The king asks the child to be cut in half, the real mother relinquishes her claim and thus gains custody of her rightful child. In these two whispers the law is shown to be equated with justice .....

The Caucasian Chalk Circle By Bertolt Brecht
.... justice presented in the novel has close links to the Marxist view of the law, with the law serving all, but in reality it protects and secures the interests of the ruling classes. The play seeks to emphasise that within this class justice the poor can only gain justice under exceptional circumstances. Azdak as the judge and arbiter of justice has come to this position only through a matter of chances and mistakes. Firstly he harbours the Grand Duke from Shauva, then he confesses to the Ironshirts only .....
