Antigone - A Contrast Of Two T
.... how foolish her idea of bestowing on Polynices a proper burial is. In Kitto's version of the play, Ismene's line is written as a huge run-on sentence; "Think of our father, dear Antigone, and how we saw him die, hated and scorned, when his own hands had blinded his own eyes because of sins which he himself disclosed; and how his mother-wife, two names in one, knotted a rope, and so destroyed herself" (Kitto, 10).

A View From The Bridge
.... of life in it. It is dark and treacherous though, and every day there is a challenge. A similar story tells about a tidal pool with life called `Cannery Road'.

It mainly deals with Santiago as being a figure of Christ and other characters as props, that is, characters which carry out the form of biblical themes. On the day before he leaves when he wakes up, Manolin, his helper, comes to his aid with food and drink. Also a point that might be .....

Animal Farm By George Orwell
.... much harder and never thought of their own needs. The pigeons acted as message carriers spreading propaganda between farms, spreading Napoleon’s words from farm to farm, or in the actual Russian Revolution, country to country. Although all these animals are very different, they all shared one common trait. They were all weak. They all let Napoleon take over without much resistance. Just like Stalin took over Russia. These animals were too weak, too scared, or just lacked the intelligence requir .....

Artificial Nigger
.... multi-road intents are not, as always, clearly seen or can be easily stated. The relation between Mr. Head’s ignorant actions, and the point he calls Nelson ignorant are aspects far too coincidental to ignore. In calling Nelson ignorant he is calling Nelson what he expressively hates. Consequently lessening himself, given that Nelson is what Mr. Head has made of him in raising him.
Awaiting for the train to stop for them, the day of the trip, Mr. Head secretly fears it will not do so, &# .....

.... might simply have been eating decent food, wearing warm clothes, perhaps saving enough money to purchase his manumission. (McLennan, S.)

Analysis Of Abe Kobos The Red
.... Literatures of the Non-Western World (136).
With this information about Abe Kobo, an interpretation of “The Red Cocoon” emerges with heavy political and social tones.

Antigone 7

Antigone.
I knew I must die, even without your decree;
Living, as I live, with evil all about me,
Think death less than a friend? This death of mine
Is of no importance; but if I had left my brother
Lying in death unburied, I should have suffered.
Now I do not. -pg. 502, .....

Knowles shows how much jealousy Gene had over Finny’ s ability to stay out of trouble, no matter what he did. “This time he wasn’t going to get away with it.” (909). He would rather be in accordance to the rules and be on his best behavior, than to be a rebel who goes against everything. Finny, on the other hand was more of a rebel. “I wonder wh .....
