The Southern Lady From Pedesta
.... children.
Anne Firor Scott does a terrific job describing the ideal southern woman, tracing the effect of the definition on how women behaved, describing the realities of southern women's lives, and describing the internal struggle of women who desired to free themselves from cultural expectations. She uses the diaries and letters that were preserved to her advantage because they support her theme, and they flow consistently with the text. Scott's book is very compelling and informative. Better yet .....

Este señor es tan apatiático que no le importa ni cuando murió su madre. “Está contento solo con el acto de vivir[2].”Pasa la primera parte del libro con esta actitud; una persona típica le da más importancia a la vida de un ratón lo q .....

The Stranger (spanish)
.... la primera parte del libro con esta actitud; una persona típica le da más importancia a la vida de un ratón lo que Meursault le da a la vida de su madre. Con esto viene un desafío al valor de la vida. Si no hay importancia a ningúna parte de la vida, entonces la vida en si no tiene valor. Demuestra Camus que no hay razón para darle a ninguna parte de la vida importancia. Si uno tiene ganas, y quiere tomar café durante el tiempo que está de luto hacia su mamá, ¿porqué no hacerlo?
Esta actitud est .....

The Sun Also Rises 2
.... how the main character, Jake Barnes, does not care if he truly learns anything in life and only wants to know how to get by. If in life you never learn anything, then it is almost impossible to change. Jake Barnes’ unwillingness to learn shows that later in his life he will have little or no change as he did for the book, yet again showing the theme of a constant or unchanging course.

The Sweet Thereafter Summary
.... save her life.
The relationship between Mitchell and Zoe had drastically changed from the time she was little to the present time. This change applies to both the book and the movie, which proves that both are fairly consistent. The book goes into greater detail than the movie despite the rather identical comparisons. The movie sets the feeling that the book gives without going into all the details, although they approach the mood sets in two different ways.
In the younger years of Zoe she had .....

.... could kill. While the prisoners were in cattle cars, being moved to a different camp, a worker in one of the towns they passed through threw a piece of bread into one of the cars, and watched as they literally killed for just a mouthful. Through that experience, Elie witnessed a man kill his own father for a few meager crumbs of bread, only then to see that man be killed moments later for the same small portion of bread. “Men threw themselves on top of each other, stamping on each other, tearin .....

Suspenseful
.... of her rain soaked garments. Just for a moment as she brushed her tangled hair, she felt a soft breath against her neck. It was like gentle kiss yet cold, sending a shiver through her body. Goose bumps popped from all over. Behind her she felt a presence. She sensed movement but could not hear any noises to confirm the idea. The house was still.
She felt a chill and the room temperature seemed to decrease. An unknown source of wind blew throughout the room. She went in the lounge to investigate .....

Sweetness And Power
.... aimed toward, in other words, his audience. In Jack Goody’s New York Times review of the book, he suggests that this book is not just for anthropologists: “Sweetness and Power is a fine book. It not only tells a fascinating story, it is also something of an antidote to the static quality of much anthropological writing.” Yet another review of Mintz’s book from J. H. Elliott of The New York Review of Books states: “This measured, intelligent, ambitious book has something .....

Sybolism In White Fang
.... Fang is full of many interesting biblical symbols. The character Beauty Smith, for instance very simply put symbolizes Satan. This man, this creature so vile as to subdue yet another victim (White Fang) into his ever-growing underground slavery prison camps. The greed for money and profit is the only need for this “prison camp”; the dog-fighting gambling is their prison cell. A comparison between the bulldog Cherokee and death itself can be made. Once death has you, there is no way of .....

.... The poem too, is about a sort of female Lazarus who can die and rise again. The woman in the poem, who is also the narrator, is famous for this ability. She speaks of dying over and over again.

The comparison of herself to a cat with "nine times to die" indicates that she will not give up till she actually succeeds.
The repeated resurrections have made the woman into a horrifying spectacle. She does n .....
