- 212: The Symbolic Use Of Hunger In
- ... supposed to behave but did not have that behavior instilled in herself. She felt confined by her husband s expectations, and did not want to live out the typical role of wife and mother. When Robert came into her life, she began to feel that she was being awakened. She was beginning to experience life in a new light and the hunger for change began to emerge. When she went to Madame Antoine s house with Robert one Sunday afternoon after a dizzy spell, she fell asleep there and awoke later feeling very hungry. Although Chopin was mainly describing the physical hunger Edna felt after waking up from a long rest, this hunger can also be seen metaphorically. She was alone with Robert, content, and unconcerned about her husband and other duties. For this one moment, she was living as she could only dream, as though she was on a deserted island with the man she loved. ...

- 215: Dead Man Walking
- ... nations most controversial issues: capital punishment. The books narrator, Sister Helen Prejean, discusses her personal views on capital punishment. She was a spiritual advisor and friend to two death row inmates; Elmo Patrick Sonnier and Robert Lee Willie. From her experiences, she developed views on the death penalty. She believed it was morally wrong and spoke openly about it. Sister Helen successfully defends her views on capital punishment while stating that ... wrong and inhumane. Sister s details really made me believe that there are other methods available for dealing with convicted murderers. Death does not have to be one of them. Sister s next case was Robert Lee Willie. Although this case also presented a strong argument opposing capital punishment, I did not feel it was as convincing as the Pat Sonnier case. Sister took on this case after the death of Pat, and maybe that had an effect on her ability to be Robert s spiritual advisor. Her persona in dealing with Robert Willie did not seem as constructed or convincing as her dealings with Sonnier. Although she fought hard for Willie s life, it seemed like she ...

In the story The Sun Also Rises, Robert tells Jake Barnes, his friend, that he doesn't enjoy watching bullfighting and he thinks it is abnormal. This is a good example of why Cohn is not a Hemingway Hero, because only a ...
