To Be, Or Not To Be
.... in their personalities. Where the captain is apprehensive and uncertain of himself, Leggatt is full of calmness and self-confidence (Conrad 702). In fact, part of the attractiveness that Leggatt has, is based on his obvious self-possession (Graver 152). Yet, it must be remembered that Leggatt killed a man. That gave him a very sinister quality. The evil quality of the captain’s doppelgänger become obvious very quickly.
In the 1940s, R.W. Stallman insisted that Leggatt represents the capta .....

To His Coy Mistress 2
.... stanza, the speaker utilizes paradox to convince the mistress further: "Thy beauty shall no more be found, / Nor, in they marble vault, shall sound / My echoing song; then worms shall try / that long-preserved virginity" (25-28). He is telling her that when she grows old and dies a virgin, she will lose her virginity to the worms that crawl through her body. He is saying to her that he should be the one to win her virginity, not the worms. This is another great paradoxical quote from the poem explai .....

.... a blanket around Scout and Jem when
it was cold. Boo was the one putting "gifts" in the tree. Boo even
sewed up Jem s pants that tore on Dill s last night. Boo was the one
who saved their lives. On the contrary to Scout s primary belief, Boo
never harms anyone. Scout also realizes that she wrongfully treated
Boo when she thinks about the gifts in the tree. She never gave
anything back to Boo, except love at the end. When Scout escorts
Arthur home and stands on his front porch, she .....

.... in the movie, that scene was not present, therefore there is no reason for the children to know Reverend Sykes because the segregation of the 30’s would normally eliminate all friendly contact with a person of the opposite race. Because of the removal of so many scenes, character development is minimal. Another negative point is that Boo Radley, a major character we hear so much about in both the book and the film, does not say anything. In the book he has one lone line, it would have been interest .....

His face was streaked with angry tears as we made our way through the cheerful crowd. ‘It ain’t right,’ he muttered, all the way to the corner of the square where we found Atticus” (212). This is the first time he realizes that there was injustice in the world. He slowly matures and begins to understand that there are such thing as prejudice and racism.

She thinks it is best if they do not see each other. She once talks to Scout about how different they are, "Because - he - is - trash, that’s why you can’t play with him.

Children had a very limited role in society back in post-depression Alabama. They hadn't much of a say in what they were going to be, nor their activities, opinions, or much else in life. When Jem and Scout passed by Mrs. DuBose's house, they were to be proper and polite when she was rude to them, where in today's society, there is a possibility that the youth could be rude, and suffer no .....

Jem being the mature child of the family, ignores them, but Scout doesn't let anyone criticize her or her family and usually just punches them in the jaw. Atticus tells her to just ignore them, but as soon as someone mentions some disrespectful words, she soon forgets and her first instinct is to let her fists fly. "You take that back, .....

To My Dear And Loving Husband
.... Bradstreet values her love greatly. An example of this significance occurs in the opening of the poem when she writes "If ever two were one, then surely we." (Line one) This line conveys to the reader that Bradstreet feels that she and her spouse are a team - - what happens to one, will happen to the other. Another thing Bradstreet did in this line was put herself and her husband on equal terms. Both ideas, that the husband and wife were a team and that they were equal, were not acceptable in Bradstr .....

This windstorm is one that is powered not by weather fronts, but the fronts put up by the tragic heroes to portray themselves as worthy. From this storm of deception, out comes the evil and villainous nature of the reasonably good title characters. This is because even if they were fooling the populace they still doubted their own worthiness, due to the fact they, Oedipus, Mac .....
