.... what. You rarely win but sometimes you do" (112). Jem and Scout learned what real courage is through the point of view of their father. As teaching them what courage is, Atticus also taught the children the real Mrs. Dubose. The children were willing to change their views on her because of Atticus' clear explanation of what was really inside of Mrs. Dubose. "She had her own views about things, a lot different from mine, maybe..son, I told you to see something about her--I wanted you too see something about her" (112). Another brave thing that Atticus proved to his children was when the old rabid dog, Tim Johnson, was wandering up the street .....

.... to delve into the character of the individual and examine the relationship between human ideals and human realities. Chaucer lived in a unique position through out his life that allowed him to bridge the wide canyon between the remote aristocracy and the sometimes volatile lower class. Chaucer was born into the upper middle class, a social strata that was mostly unacknowledged. The Medieval middle class was neither aristocracy nor Plebian; however, the middle class was increasingly important to medieval society and culture. As the son of a well to do wine merchant, Geoffrey Chaucer lived in close proximity with the lower classes, no doubt be .....

.... and bread are to Macbeth: they exist and can be altered. This view of fate is not as ambivalent as the other view, but is more a view along the lines of Thomas Aquinas or Kurt Vonnegut. According to Aquinas, time is something that you both exist in and are affected by or you not. One is either subject to the limitations of time or one is not. For instance, God is outside the normal limitations of time and is therefore immortal. In Macbeth, it seems, the witches are a transient hybrid of those in time and those not in time. That is to say, they can travel in and out of time at will. This ability allows them to both see the future and to chan .....

.... also described them with their appearance before we actually saw them. We also learned somewhat about the characters by the speeches that they give; Old Major could be seen as the leader of the animals because everyone looked up to, in my thoughts he talked with power. In the book I feel that Snowball is the protagonist and Napoleon is the antagonist. Snowball was the likeable person among the animals also very admirable. The other animals looked up to him and not only because he was the leader. He put effort into the ideas that he and all the other animals came up with. He also worked with the animals and did not slack off because he was the leade .....

.... and would rather see them dead and in Heaven then in an earthly hell of being slaves. I believe that from Sethe was justified in her actions. Slavery is a very harsh and horrible way to live, and living in chains and without freedom is not living as a human should. Slavery degraded African Americans from humans, to that of animals. They were not treated with any respect, or proper care. Even modern day criminals, those that have murdered large numbers of people are treated more humanly then the average slave ever was. The life that the children would of lived would of been one of complete servitude, they would of never of known what it was like .....

.... to leave, and Odysseus’ nurse, who obediently washes his feet, are examples of the chauvinist mind set. Despite the unfairness of the period in which the story takes place, certain women try in their own way to rise above the binds of tradition and show feminine power. In The Odyssey, through cunning manipulation and plotting three women stand their ground in individual protests to get what they want; Penelope’s trickery in evading the impatient marriage proposals by suitors, Helen’s deceit over Menelaos during the Trojan War, and finally the control that Nausicaa seems have upon first meeting Odysseus each illustrate power possess .....

.... signing away his name and his soul to keep his life, he wanted to die honorably with his friends not without a name, a soul, and with guilt. “John Proctors decision to die is reasonable and believable�. Reverend Parris, the Salem minister and Proctors immediate supervisor, which says “ there is either obedience or the church will burn like hell is burning.� “The church in theocratic Salem is identical with the state and the community and will surely crumble if unquestioning obedience falters in the least.� Proctor, on the other hand, “has come to regard his self as a king of fraud,� as long as he remains obedient to an authority which .....

.... and his hat dripped down on his blue coat and ran down his back. ‘Tha’s good,’ he said. ‘Yo drink some, George. You take a good big drink. He smiled happily� (3). Significance: The fact that Lennie does not cup his hands for a drink, he without thinking, plunges his entire head into the water leads to support to the idea of a slightly slow, child-like, innocent man. The lack of looking if the water was running shows Lennie’s position as a character with little or no common sense. He just does things less carefully than he should, though without negative intent. Also, Lennie is portrays himself as a very caring individual. While he enjo .....
