Tolstoy
.... to today’s modern society, Ivan Ilyich appeared to have it all. He had a very good job, a beautiful wife and a well-educated child. When Ivan Ilyich realizes that he is dying, all that he thought he wanted in life is put into question. This causes me to reflect in my own life.
I found myself thinking about the meaning in my own life. This book really leaves people thinking, and wondering about their own life. This book truly makes you think of what is really important in one’s life.

Foreshadowing In A Tale Of Two
.... the aristocrats, and it implies that Monsieur Defarge’s revenge happens later in the future (179).
The mention of footsteps and echoes is another example of foreshadowing into Lucie’s future. When Dickens writes “I [make] the echoes out to be the echoes of all the footsteps that are coming by and by into our lives” the real meaning under that statement is to foreshadow people of the French Revolution such as the Defarges and the revolutionaries coming into Lucie’s as well as her friends’ an .....

.... also shapes his actions in the jury room. In the jury room, he acts with compassion and respect. As a nurse he does the same. His compassion lies in caring for another. He relates that to the trial by thinking of the boy as one of his patients. He wants him to have a fair chance at life, and therefore wants him to have a fair trial. In the jury room, he acts with respect because he is very unsure about the case, and really does not know how he feels about things. So when it is his turn to talk he .....

Codeine
.... be sure of an accurate dose. Do not take more of
this drug than prescribed by your doctor. Serious side effects can occur,
especially in children who take too much. Adults giving this medication to
a child should be careful to give the correct dose and not to give it more
often than prescribed by the doctor. For a cough, patients older than 12
years should not take more than 120 mg of codeine a day. Children six to
12 years old should not take more than 60 mg a day. A doctor should decide
how much .....

The Fall Of The House Of Usher
.... also uses corruption in this tale. The idea that Madeline came back to life to take revenge on her brother is corrupted. Then when the Usher House falls down on both Ushers giving Roderick just enough time to get out. This is not so much corruption, but if you look at it in a different way. it could also be human will. Another form of corruption in this story is that all of the Ushers were descendants of each other, which means they were inbreeds.
The second characteristic that Edgar uses is Ra .....

The Catcher In The Rye
.... You must understand that when a parent loses one of their own creations they feel as if they have lost a part of themselves and cannot strive to go on. I think many parents find it easier to conceal their feelings inside of themselves, thus becoming what Holden could view as a phony. He didn’t understand why his parents had to bottle it all up (which he thinks is wrong) and why he was almost punished for expressing his feelings freely (which he feels is the right thing to do). I believe that this is wh .....

He had already lost a great deal of money in the family’s traveling expenses and overpaid for their property. “They paid way too much for the land and for the oxen, horses and cookstove” (22). Mr. Shimerda must not have thought that he would have to support his family by means of plowing fields for food and actually building a home from materials gathered from the earth. He was a businessman and made a life for his family in Bohemia by working. “He was a weaver by trade; had b .....

The whole town took warning and "Every wind that blew over France shook.

Great Gatsby

The manner in which these characters found love was also very upsetting. Gatsby spent countless years obtaining his fortune for one purpose only, to win back Daisy Buchanan. The quote, "Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay," demonstrat .....

(p.276)." Sheriff Tate is trying to protect Boo from the attention that could frighten him. The sheriff is doing the right thing by hiding the truth from the community.

Candide

In the conclusion an old Turk instructs Candide in the futility of needless philosophizing by saying that "the work keeps us from three great evils, bo .....
