putting "gifts" in the tree. Boo even sewed up Jem's pants that tore on Dill's
last night. Boo was the one who saved their lives. On the contrary to Scout's
primary belief, Boo never harms anyone. Scout also realizes that she wrongfully
treated Boo when she thinks about the gifts in the tree. She never gave

An Analysis Of Jane Smiley's A Thousand Acres
Words: 747 / Pages: 3 .... novel lies in its depiction
of the place of women in a predominantly patriarchal culture. In this male
dominated culture, the values privileged in women include silence and
subordination. Ginny is acceptable as a woman as long as she remains
"oblivious" (121). She is allowed to disagree with men, contingent upon
her doing so without fighting (104). Ultimately, her opinion as a woman
remains irrelevant. Ginny remarks, "of course it was silly to talk about
'my po int of view.' When my father asserted his point of view, mine
vanished" (176). When she makes the "mistake" of crossing her father, she
is referred to as a "bitch," "whore," and "slut" (1 .....

Words: 747 / Pages: 3 .... but they did their job. The soldiers get their helmets on in time, except one. The soldier is "flound'ring like a man in fire...drowning" from exposure to the poisonous gases fired by the enemy.
The author is expressing the cruelty of war through this poem in describing the slow and painful deaths that many soldiers went through. Death by poisonous gas is slow and painful. The soldiers who died did so painfully, it was as if they were drowning. Choking slowly, like being drown, death by compression and collapsing of the lungs. This is a horrid death. The poem is from the viewpoint of a soldier watching another soldier die. The soldier is experiencin .....

Words: 1943 / Pages: 8 .... stanza, Marvell presents an idyllic view of lovers
engaged in a slow waltz that stretches on for centuries. In this snail-
paced ritual Marvell feels he can do justice to his mistress, who "deserve
this state." Things become a little more complex in the next line, "nor
would I love at lower rate." This is where we begin a question what has up
till now progressed so smoothly, as all good fantasies must if they are to

Mythic Heros: Sinbad The Sailor
Words: 517 / Pages: 2 .... riches beyond the
imagination.
As a child, the stories of Sinbad's voyages were wildly entertaining.
In each one, there was adventure, danger, money, and the hero always came home
in one piece. Now that I look back at the stories, there are some parts of
Sinbad's fantastic tales that bother me.
First of all, Sinbad never set out in search of adventure. These
amazing things just seemed to always happen to him. He normally set out as a
merchant, carrying goods from one exotic land to another. Yet, on each of these
trips, something incredible happened to him and his crew, resulting in a dead
crew and a fantastic story for Sinbad the sailor.

The Scarlet Letter: Dimmersdale Is A Coward And A Hypocrite
Words: 1215 / Pages: 5 .... public hint of sinning at the end of the novel. He tries to unburden
himself of his sin by revealing it to his congregation, but somehow can
never quite manage this. He is a typical diagnosis of a "wuss".
To some extent, Dimmesdale's story is one of a single man tempted into the
depths of the hormonal world. This world, however, is a place where the
society treats sexuality with ill grace. But his problem is enormously
complicated by the fact of Hester's marriage (for him no technicality), and
by his own image of himself as a cleric devoted to higher things. Unlike
other young men, Dimmesdale cannot accept his loss of innocence and go on
from ther .....

Black Rain
Words: 1357 / Pages: 5 .... learned for the first time to call it an “atomic bomb.” ( 282)
The importance of the name of the bomb may seem ineffectual, but he seems to dwell on finding out what caused this type of destruction. Something else that Mr. Shizuma wants to do is remember every little detail about what happens to everything from what angle the house was on after the bomb to what his wife cooked for dinner with the food rationing. He even likes to write how people cured themselves of radiation sickness and what the burns and other injuries look and act like.
