Tortilla Curtain
.... don’t stop all the illegal immigrants, they are going to take over the country or do some other horrific deed.
It’s also hard to deny the race issue. The way he is so emotional about the topic of illegal immigrants, it is easy for people to think racism has something to do with it. Some might go as far to say the whole immigration thing is just a cover up so he can vent his racist views (considering that most illegal immigrants are not white). I would not go that far, but I do believe racism .....

Tragedy In Macbeth
.... for the
sake of greed, and deserved to die because of his flaw.
Duncan was the King of England, and was murdered by
MacBeth. He was murdered, because in order for MacBeth to
fulfill his plan and become king, Duncan would have to die.
Duncan's fatal flaw was that he was too trusting. For
example, he thought that none of his friends could really be
enemies. If Duncan was more careful about his safety at
MacBeth's castle, he may have had a chance to survive. But .....

Tragic Triumph
.... furnished.
Miller spares us the full repercussions of Proctor’s decision by ending the play before the
hangings. Still, it is evident what the consequence of Proctor’s insistent grip on integrity will be:
death. I find it much more fitting that Miller excludes the most disparaging part of the play and
instead instills in our minds the positive side. Elizabeth plants the seed of this thought when she
proclaims of John, “He have his goodness now” (143). This statement .....

Truly, The Great Gatsby
.... appeasement. Gatsby held his grand parties not to show off his wealth, but in hope that one day Daisy would grace one of them. He bought clothes to show to her, and even died for her. "It makes me sad because I’ve never seen such--such beautiful shirts before."(pg.98) What made that gesture sweet was not because Gatsby displayed the beautiful shirts for Daisy, but because he bought the shirts just to show Daisy. His greatest deed for Daisy was taking the blame for Myrtle Wilson’s death. .....

Twelfth Night 2
.... makes the point very clear when she says: "Sir Toby is witty without being as alert as Sir John; he does not need to be:" (Barber, 24)
Olivia: Cousin, cousin, how have you come so early by this lethargy?
Toby: Lechery? I defy lechery! There's one at the gate.
Olivia: Ay, marry, what is he?
Toby: Let him be the devil if he will. I care not!
Give me faith, say I. Well, it's all one. (I.v.131-137)
Swaying in the same direction, Toby tends to stress the "lower" aspects of the body rathe .....

Twelfth Night, What Was Shakes
.... When the play is looked at as a whole it may seem like a minor detail, but Shakespeare used it to add effect. Much like Toby, Fabian and Andrew's letter, Shakespeare used the perfect words and phrases in the "Letter Scene" to create certain emotions within the reader. Although implausible when looked at in depth, the letter is one of the more important parts of the play.
The "Letter Scene" fits perfectly in with the main theme of the play, disguises. When Toby, Fabian and Andrew write a letter signi .....

Typical American By Gish Gen
.... American Dream and became, to some extend, typical Americans.
When Ralph came to the US he certainly was a Chinese. He did not understand the Americans, he did not have an English name. He asked the secretary of the Foreign Student Affairs to give him the name. "'Ralph,' she said finally. She wrote it down. R-A-L-P-H. 'Do you like it?' 'Sure!' He beamed." (Typical American, 11) The American name was the first step to his Americanization. Even though Ralf came to America to study engineering and was .....

Roger Chillingworth, A Great M
.... eyes were dim and blurred from reading to many books under lamplight. Roger Chillingworth was an older man and was mildly deformed, “It was sufficiently evident to Hester Prynne that one of this man’s shoulder rose higher than the other." This deformity may also make him seem hideous or monster like, but it is just a sign of his age.
Roger Chillingworth, although Native Americans captured him, was a refined gentleman, and spoke as one “then touching the shoulder of a townsman who st .....

Rabbit, Run Happy Endings
.... with Ruth, everything seemed to be about being pleased sexually and having it whenever he was in need. He thought merely of himself and not of the desires that Ruth might have, or what she might want in their relationship. He barely even noticed how sick she had gotten and failed to realize that it was because she was pregnant. He wanted sex and he would take it anyway he could. In the time period that this took place, his desires posed as a problem. Elaine Tyler May quotes in Sex, Women and the Bomb, .....

Racism My Antonia
.... have seen parents who would not let their kids hang out with kids that are different race. They tend to believe that kids, who are not the same race as they are, usually are troublemakers and low in dignity because of the way they dress. I believe that parents who are like that have insufficient culture knowledge and tend to stereo type based on skin color and dress code. A common stereo type is a person who wears extremely baggy clothes is believe to be in a gang and into drugs. The truth is baggy clot .....
