producing detailed Linguistic Atlases. Many linguists can tell where a
person is from just by knowing whether a person carries groceries home
from the supermarket in a paper bag or from the grocery store in a paper
sack (Yule 184). And the person who comes home from the supermarket with

.... of view, the tie that Neil feels toward
Brenda is one of physical attraction. "She dove beautifully and a moment
later she was swimming back to the side of the pool, her head of
shortclipped auburn hair held up, straight ahead of her, as though it were
a rose on a long stem." (Roth 3) He sees her only as a beautiful woman and
allows that to get in the way of actually realizing the true reasons for
her actions. Brenda on the other hand is using him to be her "slave."

Edgar Allen Poe's Symbolism Of Death In "The Fall Of The House Of Usher"
.... writers in the Romantic period. Writers
of this period focused on life, emotions, and the existence of the human
race. Although Poe's work has many characteristics of Romanticism, "The
Fall of the House of Usher", falls into the Gothic category. "It is

manipulation of Gothic claptrap and decor"(Abel, 380).
Bringing forth the symbolism of death is a major part of this
writing. All of the characters in "The Fall of the Ho .....

Hemingway's "In Our Time": Lost Generation
.... appears to hold some personal attachment and emotion to each story.
One could even speculate that In Our Time's main character Nick, is in fact,
Hemingway himself. It seems as though no matter what age this novel is read
at, it could be discussed as a representation of the "lost generation."
What is meant by the phrase "lost generation?" Possibly it means the loss
of a kindlier, friendlier, period of time. Maybe it means a loss of
familiarity, closeness and strength of relationships; everyday thi .....

Berenger feels that Jean isn't looking or feeling well and threatens to get
him a doctor. Jean resists by saying, "You're not going to get the doctor

closes they lock the doors and go home. Then, in the morning whoever is
