Analysis Of Similes In The Ill
.... are conspicuously quiet, sans Hector of course. It could
almost be assumed that throughout time most of the knowledge of
the battle from the Trojan side had been lost.
Considering the ability to affect feelings with similes, and
the one-sided view of history, Homer could be using similes to
guide the reader in the direction of his personal views, as

And Then There Were None
.... she was standing, but she was not the
killer.
One of the mysteries to this book was, of course,
who killed all of the innocent people. Another mystery was

Ten little Indian boys went out to dine;
One chocked his self and then there w .....

Analysis If Homeward Bound
.... This is a very unusual example of satire because this sort of thing usually does not happen to a middle class society (or at least not that I have heard of). The family’s reaction to this newfound information is very humorous because they act almost opposite as to what is expected. Hayes is almost ridiculing the middle class’ mentality and their views on life. Hayes also satirizes when Bonnie reveals Donna’s little secret of her indecent behavior when she was a little child. This was to .....

Anna Karenina
....
Karenina. Despite its apparent meanings, these two themes are
intertwined in the novel and provides a backbone for some of the other
existing themes. With a masterful touch, Tolstoy is able to use these
two themes to show the characters in their true forms at both stages.
The characters are shown to be living in a state of delusion, and as
the characters find themselves at times of near death situations or on
their deathbed, they are able to reveal themselves truthfully.

Animal Farm 4

Antigones Theme
.... the general population supported Antigone, though they were too scared to say anything.
