.... attorney, says "for that
matter a sheriff's wife is married to the law"(glaspell 168). She
reinforces that identity until she is faced with the brutality of what John
Wright did to Minnie. She says "I know what stillness is. The law has got
to punish Crime, Mrs. Hale"(glaspell 167). The difference is she is
talking about the crime committed against Minnie, not the murder of John by
Minnie.
The Rocking chair is another important symbol in the story. The

so I would not be under communistic rule or enslaved in any way. Also I
would fight to stay out of prison if I was falsely accused. Therefore

In conclusion to what I have said I feel it is wrong to take
someone's life away, harm there family, or take there freedom away. These
are all very important things in any life to fight for. They should b .....

Tools Used In The Writing Of Short Stories
.... to
finally collapse. In this story, Thomas Wolfe uses the repeated symbol of
the cat to show that Dick Prosser was like a caged animal that wanted to
lash out at the world, and when pushed to the edge, the symbolic cage
opened, and he was set loose. The use of Man-versus-Society conflict is
also evident in the fact that Prosser lashed out against the whole society
and not at one part in particular.
In the story "Paul's Case," Willa Cather tries to show that not
sharing ones personal feelings can be de .....

Transcendentalism
.... it creates havoc and we get very frustrated and angry at
the hunk of metal if front of us. Repair can be frustrating, costly, and
time consuming. Typing also
prevents us from adding the personal touch to short letters. The
handwritten letter is much more personal and shows your respect for the
person receiving the letter. While the computer can be a nuisance, the
television also has its share of frustrations. Suppose you just got
comfortable on the .....

They affect the world everyday, many of the world's and the Unites States'
problems have arised because of these people. Man will always have greed,
it is in human nature...man will always be selfish. These traits can never
be extinguished, but at least they can be limited to only certain uses, and
maybe man can be accustomed to use these traits the correct way. All over
the world this aphorism represents society, and a .....

.... She continually places pressure on her daughter
to be some kind of prodigy. The daughter is expected to be a great beauty
with unmatched dance abilities, an untapped wealth of useless information,
and piano-playing skills like no other. In "Girl", the expectations are
much lower, but just as stringent. The girl is expected to do a myriad of

how she can avoid being a "slut".

Victorian Literature
.... within the city. Charlotte BRONTE in
JANE EYRE dramatized the particular problems of creating a female identity.
Among the writers of early Victorian nonfiction, Thomas CARLYLE in Past and
Present (1843) argued for the re-creation in industrial England of the lost
sense of community between social classes. In contrast, John Stuart MILL
in ON LIBERTY spoke for the fullest development of the individual through
freedom from social restraint. The foremost art critic of the time, John
RUSKIN, articulated th .....

within the teachings of Thoreau's Walden? In accordance with the history
of literature, one might say "Why not?"; in accordance with Walden's
content, I would say, "I couldn't see it being any other way."
What is Zen Buddhism anyway? In the book Zen Buddhism, D.T. Suzuki
says that "Zen in its essence is the art of seeing into the nature of one's
own being, and it points the way from bondage into freedom" (3). In the
theory of Zen, our bodies contain a spiritual form of energy .....

Oates' "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been": Defense Mechanisms
.... to stay complacent about it thereby avoiding a
confrontation with her and also avoiding having to deal with issues of her
newly found sexuality and the circumstances surrounding it.
The most obvious example of denial falls in the lap of Connie
herself. Connie is prone to deny the possibility of danger in the
confrontation with Arnold Friend. This could be out of need for acceptance
as she does not receive the attention a young girl entering adulthood
requires.
Another convention explored in this wor .....

Personal Response To Orwell's "Shooting An Elephant"

in the middle of the lunch area, oftentimes becoming entertainment or
speculation for fellow students. My friends might do anything from
standing on top of the table and striping their clothes off to jumping in a
near-by garbage can. None-the-less I tried to stay away from such oddities
and keep an observatory posture, which in turn happens to be what Orwell
would have preferred. All of these maniacal actions undoubtedly spawned
from good old peer pressure, or the natives watching us .....

Satan.
"Very well", said God," It is done." And with that, he accepted
Satan's challenge. With out warning to Job, God destroyed Jobs house,
killed his children, and slaughtered Job's cattle. He then cursed Job with
painful boils all over his skin, so to make his every movement filled with
excruciating pain. Many times Job's wife asked him why he didn't just
curse God, and ensue Gods wrath to strike him dead. Job's friends told him
to denounce his faith in God, after a .....

An Analysis Of James Joyce's Eveline
.... could be very nice,” just because she remembers
him making her laugh once, and other time when he took care of her when she
was sick. These good memories about her father look insignificant compared
to what she has to do for him. Eveline also has to support the
mistreatments of her abusive father even when she is asking him for money
to buy groceries. Especially on Saturday nights when he is “usually
fairly bad,” meaning he is drunk. Eveline alone asks herself if it is
wise to leave. She thinks that .....
