Analysis Of The Canterbury Tales
Words: 530 / Pages: 2 .... man spends his day working for what
little wages he can earn. The Monk also had horses, which is another sign
of wealth. "This Monk was therefore a good man to horse;" (p 120 line 193)
Very few men in that period had enough time to learn and ride horses. All
of these extravagancies are against the oath the Monk took for the Church.
The Monk was also lazy and disliked working. Monks, in general,
are hard working and are willing to help the less fortunate. The Monk also
ignored the monastic rules set up by St. Benedict.
The Rule of good St. Benet or St. Maur
As old and strict he tended to ignore;
P 120, lines 177-178

The Colors Of Daisy Buchanan
Words: 805 / Pages: 3 .... as a sign of elegance and wealth. “Sometimes she and Miss Baker talked at once, unobtrusively and with a bantering inconsequence that was never quite chatter, that was as cool as their white dresses and their impersonal eyes in the absence of all desire.”(17). White is also a color that I find to be lacking depth and substantial emotion. Much of Daisy’s personality is never really revealed in the book and the use of white helps to shroud her in more mystery, as its purity does not disclose any further information about her. However, white is inaccurate when trying to portray Daisy as pure, as she did cheat on Tom. “His heart beat faster .....

Do You Have A Voice
Words: 664 / Pages: 3 .... Jim thinks that Huck is dead. When Jim finally realizes that Huck is not dead, he gets really angry at Huck. Jim says, “ Dat truck dah is trash; en trash is what people is dat puts dirt on de head er dey fren’s em makes ‘em ashamed.” That line, from the story, is basically saying that Huck is trash for doing that to Jim. Then fifteen minutes later Huck goes into Jim’s wigwam and apologizes. This is showing that Huck does have a voice because any other white person from the south would not apologize to a slave. The slaves were thought of as being lower than any white person and Huck was showing that a slave as equa .....

Defense Statement
Words: 279 / Pages: 2 .... him.
I agree with the prosecution however when they say that murder is
unlawful, but would you say what George Milton did was murder? He was saving a
life more than taking one. Lenny was already "dead" in a sense at the point that
George pulled the trigger. There were a lot of men with shotguns and hunting
dogs searching for Lenny, who had absolutely NO chance of escape. For the men
who worked at the farm were almost on to where Lenny was hiding and there was no
time for Lenny and George to run. If Lenny were to fall in the hands of the
people, he would have been tortured and killed. He would have died with the
worst feeling of all in his body, h .....

“’He’s so ugly!’…’And then so small.’ Fanny made a grimace; smallness was so horribly and typically low-caste’” (46). Bernard’s looks pushed him to be an outsider. His physical insufficiencies cause him to be different mentally.
The way that he thinks and acts is different then that of the cultural norm. “’They say he doesn’t like Obstacl .....

This also states that others encounter problems as well when they look into the future and try to make plans. Others as well, find that their planning might be futile and fruitless as time goes on.
George and Lennie both fit into the category of wanting to carry out their dreams and be different than everyone else by taking care and looking out for one another. Although, many of their indiv .....

Cheaper By The Dozen
Words: 723 / Pages: 3 .... on a graph, and initial the charts after all the other chores were done!
Frank is known as an efficiency expert. He did things like button his shirt from the bottom up, instead of top to bottom because the process has a three second gap. He would even lather his face with two brushes and then try to shave with two razors. The idea with the two razors didn't work quite as well as some of his other objectives.

No matter what the situation was, Mr. Gilbreth always pushed to work harder and have .....

Nick Carraway’s Role In The Great Gatsby
Words: 726 / Pages: 3 .... role as the narrator. We read the story from his perspective. Therefore, how we perceive the other characters is based on his opinion. This applies not only to the people, but also to events and phenomena as well. Our impression of the novel and its happenings are largely dictated to us by Nick, because he is our eyes as well as our ears in this fictitious world.
In telling us his story about the “great man,” Jay Gatsby, he goes to quite a length in establishing a credibility which is essential for the story. His reflection on his upbringing, particularly his “advantages,” as his father called them, those being his spiritual and moral va .....

The Party even controlled the thoughts and ideas of the people. A thought crime is any thought or idea about going against Big Brother or The Party. To the government a thought crime is considered one of the worst felonies. “Thoughtcrime dos not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death (Orwell,pg27).”To prevent thoughtcrimes p .....
